Module Registration (REG)

Additional decision functions and system calls can be added at runtime through the Module Registration facility (REG). This allows for new models to be implemented as a kernel module.

Decision and notification functions, system calls and generic persistent lists can be added or removed whenever necessary. All such registrations are controlled with handles private to the registrant to protect against unwanted modification. Also, every Linux kernel module can avoid unloading with a module use count.

To show most REG features, three sample modules are included in the installation tarball.
