TOMOYO is useful as an analysis tool for learning how a Linux system works.
My boss was hoping that SELinux's policy is generated from what TOMOYO has
observed. A translated paper describing it is available at
https://master.dl.sourceforge.net/project/tomoyo/docs/nsf2003-en.pdf/nsf2003-en.pdf?viasf=1 .
Although that attempt failed due to mapping problem between inode and pathname,
TOMOYO remains as an access restriction tool due to ability to write custom
policy by individuals.
I was delivering pure LKM version of TOMOYO (named AKARI) to users who
cannot afford rebuilding their distro kernels with TOMOYO enabled. But
since the LSM framework was converted to static calls, it became more
difficult to deliver AKARI to such users. Therefore, I decided to update
TOMOYO so that people can use mostly LKM version of TOMOYO with minimal
burden for both distributors and users.

tomoyo: preparation step for building as a loadable LSM module
tomoyo: allow building as a loadable LSM module
tomoyo: fallback to realpath if symlink's pathname does not exist
