This is required for gtk-based login managers to access gtk's icon
cache. IIRC, past discussion on the ML came to the conclusion that
adding a new domain for this would be overkill.
Remove complement (~) and wildcard (*) in allow rules so that there are no
unintentional additions when new permissions are declared.
This patch does not add or remove permissions from any rules.
This patch is slightly more involved than just running sed. It also adds
typealias rules and doesn't change the FC entries.
The /dev/apm_bios device doesn't exist on modern systems. I have left that
policy in for the moment on the principle of making one change per patch. But
I might send another patch to remove that as it won't exist with modern
kernels.
Allow devicekit_power_t to chat to xdm via dbus and log via syslog.
Allow mount_t to do more with it's runtime files and stat more filesystem
types.
Allow xauth to send sigchld to xdm.
Allow semanage to search policy_src_t dirs and read /dev/urandom.
I believe that I have addressed all the issues Chris raised, so here's a newer
version of the patch which applies to today's git version.

The dangerous execheap permission is removed from xdm and the
dangerous execmem permission is only enabled for the Gnome
Display Manager (gnome-shell running in gdm mode) through a
new "xserver_gnome_xdm" boolean.
This patch also updates the XKB libs file context with their
default location (which at the moment is not compliant with
FHS3 due to the fact that it allows by default to write the
output from xkbcomp), adds the ability to read udev pid files
and finally adds a few permissions so that xconsole can run
smoothly.
The anomalous permission to execute XKB var library files has
been removed and the old X11R6 library location has been
updated so that subdirectories are also labeled as xkb_var_lib.
This patch includes various improvements and bug fixes as
kindly suggested in reviews made by Christopher PeBenito.

The following patch (split in two parts, one for base and
another one for contrib) introduces a new file context for
the X session log files and two new interface to manage
them (instead of allowing to manage the whole user home
content files).
It is required after the recent confinement of graphical
desktop components (e.g. wm, xscreensaver).
The second version of the patch correctly uses file type
transitions and uses more tight permissions.
The third version simply moves some interface calls.
The fourth version introduces the new template for
username-dependent file contexts.
The fifth version moves other interface calls thanks to
further revisions from Christopher PeBenito (the corresponding
contrib policy part remains unchanged at version 4).
This sixth version, adds the missing diff relative to the
xserver.te policy file to declare the new xsession_log_t type.
The corresponding base policy patch is at version 4.

Remove unneeded permissions to read user content from the
xserver module (xserver and xdm domains).

- updated the file contexts for the Xsession script;
- created an interface for chatting over dbus with
xdm (currently used by the userdomain module in
the common user template);
- added permission to chat over dbus with colord.

On Arch Linux, /usr/bin/Xorg is only a shell script which executes
/usr/lib/xorg-server/Xorg.wrap, which is a SUID binary wrapper around
/usr/lib/xorg-server/Xorg.
Even though Xorg.wrap is not a full X server, it reads X11 configuration
files, uses the DRM interface to detect KMS, etc. (cf.
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/hw/xfree86/xorg-wrapper.c?id=xorg-server-1.18.0
for more details). Therefore label it as xserver_exec_t.
This makes the following AVC appear:
denied { execute_no_trans } for pid=927 comm="X"
path="/usr/lib/xorg-server/Xorg.wrap" dev="dm-0" ino=3152592
scontext=system_u:system_r:xserver_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:xserver_exec_t tclass=file
Allow /usr/bin/Xorg to execute Xorg.wrap with a can_exec statement.
