If - is given as filename for -o option, checkpolicy
writes the policy to standard output. This helps users
to read policy.conf and/or CIL policy file with pager
like less command:
$ checkpolicy -M -F -b /sys/fs/selinux/policy -o - | less
The users don't have to make a temporary file.
/dev/stdout can be used instead. However, - reduces the number of
typing for the purpose. Using - for standard output (and/or standard
input) is popular convention.
Change(s) in v2:
* Check the availability of output stream only when opening
a regualar file. Suggested by Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov>.

Policy developers can set a default_range default to glblub and
computed contexts will be the intersection of the ranges of the
source and target contexts. This can be used by MLS userspace
object managers to find the range of clearances that two contexts
have in common. An example usage is computing a transition between
the network context and the context of a user logging into an MLS
application.
For example, one can add a default with
this cil:
(defaultrange db_table glblub)
or in te (base module only):
default_range db_table glblub;
and then test using the compute_create utility:
$ ./compute_create system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0:c1,c2,c5-s0:c1.c20 system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0:c0.c20-s0:c0.c36 db_table
system_u:object_r:kernel_t:s0:c1,c2,c5-s0:c1.c20
Some example range transitions are:
User Permitted Range | Network Device Label | Computed Label
---------------------|----------------------|----------------
s0-s1:c0.c12 | s0 | s0
s0-s1:c0.c12 | s0-s1:c0.c1023 | s0-s1:c0.c12

Currently checkpolicy can produce binary policies for earlier policy versions
to provide support for building policies on one machine and loading/analyzing
them on another machine with an earlier version of the kernel or libsepol,
respectively. However, checkmodule was lacking this capability.
This commit adds an identical `-c` flag that can be passed to checkmodule that
will build a modular policy file of the specified version.

Reduce noise when calling the checkpolicy command line. In Android, this
creates unnecessary build noise which we'd like to avoid.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy
Rule of Silence
Developers should design programs so that they do not print
unnecessary output. This rule aims to allow other programs
and developers to pick out the information they need from a
program's output without having to parse verbosity.
An alternative approach would be to add a -s (silent) option to these
tools, or to have the Android build system redirect stdout to /dev/null.

This commit resolves conflicts in values of expandattribute statements
in policy language and expandtypeattribute in CIL.
For example, these statements resolve to false in policy language:
expandattribute hal_audio true;
expandattribute hal_audio false;
Similarly, in CIL these also resolve to false.
(expandtypeattribute (hal_audio) true)
(expandtypeattribute (hal_audio) false)
A warning will be issued on this conflict.
Motivation
When Android combines multiple .cil files from system.img and vendor.img
it's possible to have conflicting expandattribute statements.
This change deals with this scenario by resolving the value of the
corresponding expandtypeattribute to false. The rationale behind this
override is that true is used for reduce run-time lookups, while
false is used for tests which must pass.

As reported by Nicolas Iooss, there are still some inconsistencies
in the definitions and usage of Makefile variables related to bin
and sbin directories. Since we need to still support non-usrmerge
systems, we cannot completely synchronize them, but we can eliminate
unnecessary differences, remove unused variables, and drop the
USRSBINDIR variables.
Before:
$ find . -name Makefile -exec cat {} + |grep '^[A-Z_]*BINDIR' |sort -u
BINDIR=$(PREFIX)/bin
BINDIR ?= $(PREFIX)/bin
BINDIR ?= $(PREFIX)/sbin
SBINDIR ?= $(DESTDIR)/sbin
SBINDIR ?= $(PREFIX)/sbin
USRSBINDIR ?= $(PREFIX)/sbin
After:
$ find . -name Makefile -exec cat {} + | grep '^[A-Z_]*BINDIR' | sort -u
BINDIR ?= $(PREFIX)/bin
SBINDIR ?= $(DESTDIR)/sbin
SBINDIR ?= $(PREFIX)/sbin
This does not change the actual install location of any file.
It does drop the legacy symlink from /usr/sbin/load_policy to
/sbin/load_policy; packagers can create that separately if
desired.

Presently we support xperms rules in source policy and in CIL modules.
The binary policy module format however was never extended for xperms.
This limitation inhibits use of xperms in refpolicy-based policy modules
(including the selinux-testsuite policy). Update libsepol to support
linking, reading, and writing a new binary policy module version that
supports xperms rules. Update dismod to display xperms rules in binary
policy modules.
Also, to support use of a non-base binary policy module with a newer
version on a system using a base policy module with an older version,
automatically upgrade the version during module linking. This facilitates
usage of newer features in non-base modules without requiring rebuilding
the base module.
Tests:
1. Add an allowxperms rule to the selinux-testsuite policy and
confirm that it is properly written to the binary policy module
(displayed by dismod), converted to CIL (the latter was already supported),
and included in the kernel policy (via dispol and kernel test).
2. Use semodule_link and semodule_expand to manually link and expand
all of the .pp files via libsepol, and confirm that the allowxperms rule
is correctly propagated to the kernel policy. This test is required to
exercise the legacy link/expand code path for binary modules that predated
CIL.

This commit adds attribute expansion statements to the policy
language allowing compiler defaults to be overridden.
Always expands an attribute example:
expandattribute { foo } true;
CIL example:
(expandtypeattribute (foo) true)
Never expand an attribute example:
expandattribute { bar } false;
CIL example:
(expandtypeattribute (bar) false)
Adding the annotations directly to policy was chosen over other
methods as it is consistent with how targeted runtime optimizations
are specified in other languages. For example, in C the "inline"
command.
Motivation
expandattribute true:
Android has been moving away from a monolithic policy binary to
a two part split policy representing the Android platform and the
underlying vendor-provided hardware interface. The goal is a stable
API allowing these two parts to be updated independently of each
other. Attributes provide an important mechanism for compatibility.
For example, when the vendor provides a HAL for the platform,
permissions needed by clients of the HAL can be granted to an
attribute. Clients need only be assigned the attribute and do not
need to be aware of the underlying types and permissions being
granted.
Inheriting permissions via attribute creates a convenient mechanism
for independence between vendor and platform policy, but results
in the creation of many attributes, and the potential for performance
issues when processes are clients of many HALs. [1] Annotating these
attributes for expansion at compile time allows us to retain the
compatibility benefits of using attributes without the performance
costs. [2]
expandattribute false:
Commit 0be23c3f15 added the capability to aggresively remove unused
attributes. This is generally useful as too many attributes assigned
to a type results in lengthy policy look up times when there is a
cache miss. However, removing attributes can also result in loss of
information used in external tests. On Android, we're considering
stripping neverallow rules from on-device policy. This is consistent
with the kernel policy binary which also did not contain neverallows.
Removing neverallow rules results in a 5-10% decrease in on-device
policy build and load and a policy size decrease of ~250k. Neverallow
rules are still asserted at build time and during device
certification (CTS). If neverallow rules are absent when secilc is
run, some attributes are being stripped from policy and neverallow
tests in CTS may be violated. [3] This change retains the aggressive
attribute stripping behavior but adds an override mechanism to
preserve attributes marked as necessary.
[1] https://github.com/SELinuxProject/cil/issues/9
[2] Annotating all HAL client attributes for expansion resulted in
system_server's dropping from 19 attributes to 8. Because these
attributes were not widely applied to other types, the final
policy size change was negligible.
[3] data_file_type and service_manager_type are stripped from AOSP
policy when using secilc's -G option. This impacts 11 neverallow
tests in CTS.
Test: Build and boot Marlin with all hal_*_client attributes marked
for expansion. Verify (using seinfo and sesearch) that permissions
are correctly expanded from attributes to types.
Test: Mark types being stripped by secilc with "preserve" and verify
that they are retained in policy and applied to the same types.
