[Solved] AppArmor custom kernel compile?

Hi,

I'm looking to install AppArmor. Reading the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AppArmor, it states 'AppArmor is available in all officially supported kernels.' 
So install and setup looks reasonable for a newbie like me, i.e. no kernel compiling, phew!

There is a section on the wiki page  Custom kernel. Is this only applicable for those that have a custom kernel? And for users like me (that have an official kernel) can ignore the compilation?
Simple question, but I'm learning.

Thanks.

Yes, that section is only for people that do their own kernel. It's listing what config options to enable to make it work. All of those options are already enabled in the normal Arch kernel.

You can take a look inside the config of your currently running kernel like this if you want to double-check:

zless /proc/config.gz
