It is unclear as to what you mean by "the security model of Linux".
Do you mean "the security model imposed on userspace by the Linux
kernel"?
Or perhaps "the security model under which Linux kernel threads are
managed"?
Or even "the extended security model (and by implication, an
enumeration of the extensions) that may be used in a Linux system"?

I mean the OS , not application.

Do you?
Linux is an OS kernel, not a full OS.
And, of course, Linux has /never/ been an application.

I try google, but there is nothing too useful to shape my ideas.

It would help to have some context for your question. Otherwise, your
question is like asking "what is the meaning of life"? To which I'd
reply "Life is like a peanut... isn't it?" (did that help?)
