policycoreutils: fixfiles: tidy up usage(), manpage synopsis Make sure usage() in fixfiles shows all the current options. It's printed when there's a user error, so it needs to be helpful! (Excluding the deprecated option - see below). manpage: Remove the deprecated option `-l logfile`. Add missing space in `restore|[-f] relabel`. It's not clear why `-R rpmpackagename` was considered optional in the second invocation. (If the user omits it, they are just performing the first invocation). It desn't match usage() in fixfiles either. Clean up bolding for `fixfiles onboot`. Disable justification (troff "adjustment") in the synopsis. We want the common options in the different invocations to line up consistently. Signed-off-by: Alan Jenkins <alan.christopher.jenkins@gmail.com>

policycoreutils: fixfiles: refactor into the `set -u` dialect This commit allows the use of `set -u` to detect reads of unset variables. But what I really liked was making the code more explicit about these modes. I hope that this is easier for a new reader to reason about. `fixfiles restore` has accumulated five different modes it can run in. Now use a single variable to indicate the mode, out-of-band of the variables used for the individual modes. Apparently `set -u` / `set -o nounset` doesn't work correctly with arrays. If we ever need bash arrays, we can simply remove `set -u`. The `set -u` dialect is a strict subset. See http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/112 Extra notes: RESTORE_MODE was created because I couldn't bring myself to use an empty FILEPATH, as a special case to indicate the default mode. Arguments to the script (paths) could be empty already, so it would mean I had to work out how we behaved in that case and decide whether it was reasonable. It turns out the `-B | -N time` mode is distinct and does not respect paths. So we can tell the user we're not going to do anything with the paths they passed. Make sure this distinction is shown in the usage error message. We already rejected the combination of `-R rpmpackage,... dir/file...`. Being aware of the different modes just causes more bogus combinations to be rejected. Signed-off-by: Alan Jenkins <alan.christopher.jenkins@gmail.com>

.B fixfiles
policycoreutils: fixfiles: remove bad modes of "relabel" command * `fixfiles -B relabel` or `fixfiles -C previouscontext relabel` would skip the code that handles e.g. `/var/tmp`, which would be run by `fixfiles relabel`. It would still remove all files in /tmp (subject to user confirmation). This is confusing, undocumented, and unlikely to be intentional. * `fixfiles relabel path1 path2` is the same, except it would only relabel the first path. * `fixfiles -R ... relabel` was equivalent to `fixfiles -R ... restore`, again contradicting the man page. Also `fixfiles onboot` would ignore paths, -C, or -R. fixfiles is mostly for users, where it should be acceptable to remove these non-sensical combinations. `fixfiles -C` is used in selinux-policy rpm install scripts. However I believe the rpms used `fixfiles -C previouscontext restore`, and did not either require user interaction or blow away /tmp without prompting. So they should still work fine. With these combinations removed, we can remove the `exit` calls which were seen in some of the (non-error) code paths in `restore()`. Signed-off-by: Alan Jenkins <alan.christopher.jenkins@gmail.com>

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This manual page describes the
.BR fixfiles
script.
.P
This script is primarily used to correct the security context
database (extended attributes) on filesystems.
.P
It can also be run at any time to relabel when adding support for
new policy, or just check whether the file contexts are all
as you expect. By default it will relabel all mounted ext2, ext3, xfs and
jfs file systems as long as they do not have a security context mount

policycoreutils: fixfiles: un-document `-R -a` option `fixfiles -R -a` is much less useful than it was made to sound, because -R now works recursively. Therefore `fixfiles -R -a` relabels every file on the system, multiple times. On my system it took over 5 times as long as plain `fixfiles` (which takes about a minute).

policycoreutils: setfiles: estimate percent progress This patch started with work from John Reiser patch to estimate the percent progress for restorecon/setfiles. It has a lot of changes since then, to make it only happen on full relabel, overwrite itself, shows 10ths of %, and does a lot better and more useful job of estimation. We get all of the inodes on all mounted FS. Since the number of inodes is not fixed and only an estimate I added 5% to the inode number, and forced the number to never go over 100.
