SECURITY must depend on SYSFS

CONFIG_SECURITY=y and CONFIG_SYSFS=n results in the following compile error:

LD vmlinux
security/built-in.o: In function `securityfs_init':
inode.c:(.init.text+0x1c2): undefined reference to `kernel_subsys'

 	  This allows you to choose different security modules to be

I have no strong opinion on this, especially since this is only an issue in the COMFIG_EMBEDDED=y case.

Hi,

What's wrong with a normal dependency?
Please don't abuse select, use it only if you really have to.

Trying to enable when SYSFS under fs->pseudo->fs but security is under security-> is just confusing, with no obvious (user perspective) dependency.

OK, depends will be fine, esp. since it's just effecting CONFIG_EMBEDDED.

thanks,
