Linux kernel since 5.7 allows to write eBPF programs which can be attached to LSM hooks. More details here:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.9/bpf/bpf_lsm.html

There are already projects trying to leverage that

systemd with the restrict-fs feature
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/src/core/bpf/restrict_fs/restrict-fs.bpf.c

https://github.com/linux-lock/bpflock

https://github.com/lockc-project/lockc

However, BPF LSM has to be enabled by adding bpf to CONFIG_LSM.
That was already done in:

Arch Linux

Fedora

openSUSE

Could we please enable BPF LSM in Ubuntu kernels as well? Without that change, users trying to play with the mentioned projects have to edit their /etc/default/grub to add bpf LSM.
