As a module that relies on the LSM framework. SELinux started life as its own kernel patch implementing the Flask architecture in the Linux kernel, with the security policy logic encapsulated in the security server (policy engine). Then, when the LSM project was started, the SELinux project participated in the development of the LSM framework and SELinux was rewritten to use LSM, encapsulating all of SELinux (including the Flask architecture and the security server) within the SELinux module. Then both LSM and SELinux were merged into the mainline kernel, and are both included in Linux 2.6.
