Sorry for this newbie question, but Why I can not see "selinux" on the lsmod output? Im running centos 7

Thanks.

Because SELinux is not supposed to be loaded as a kernel module. That's not how it works. It's loaded into your file system at /sys/fs/selinux.

I can't test this right now, but I expect that you should be able to see it with the ps command.
