Hi!
I don´t think that it is a good idea to change the behaviour in the kernel source.
But for you I suppose, you write a module which handles everything with the immutable flag. When this module is loaded it can handle everything with this flag.
You can assure that the rmmod process is on a local tty and return EBUSY or EPERM if it is not.
When you want to make changes to your system, you just rmmod immutable.o and when you want to make it secure again, type insmod immutable.o
So you can control the protection on a local tty and don´t need to hack the new kernel each time you want to use a new one.
Greetings, Michael
