In integrating SELinux policy into rpm, we have a need to be
able to reset the configuration data (e.g. policy type) loaded
into libselinux. These values are currently loaded lazily by a
number of different functions (e.g. matchpatchcon_init()).
Since we are changing rpm to install policy, including initial
base policy, we need to be able to reload these configuration
items after the policy has been installed.
reset_selinux_config() already exists and is used by
selinux_init_load_policy() for a similar reason, but it is not
exported. This was probably intentionaly since it is not thread
safe at all. That said, rpm needs to do the same thing. This
patch makes the function public, and places a warning in the
header comment that it is not thread safe.

Subject: This patch add seusers support to SELinux
Date: Mon, 18 May 2009 14:20:30 -0400
The idea here is to break the seusers file up into lots of little
seusers file that can be user specific, also adds the service field to
be used by tools like pam_selinux to choose which is the correct context
to log a user in as.
Patch was added to facilitate IPA handing out SELinux content for
selection of roles at login.

Subject: SELinux context patch
Date: Mon, 18 May 2009 14:16:12 -0400
This patch adds context files for virtual_domain and virtual_image,
these are both being used to locat the default context to be executed by
svirt.
I also included the subs patch which I submitted before. This patch
allows us to substitute prefixes to matchpathcon.
So we can say /export/home == /home
and
/web == /var/www

interface something like: int security_deny_unknown(void);
This interface can suggest applications preferable behavior when
string_to_security_class() or string_to_av_perm() returns invalid
value which means the security policy does not define required
ones.

Since the v2.6.26 kernel, SELinux has supported an idea of permissive
domain which allows certain processes to work as if permissive mode,
even if the global setting is enforcing mode.
However, we don't have an application program interface to inform
what domains are permissive one, and what domains are not.
It means applications focuses on SELinux (XACE/SELinux, SE-PostgreSQL
and so on) cannot handle permissive domain correctly.
This patch add the sixth field (flags) on the reply of the /selinux/access
interface which is used to make an access control decision from userspace.
If the first bit of the flags field is positive, it means the required
access control decision is on permissive domain, so application should
allow any required actions, as the kernel doing.
This patch also has a side benefit. The av_decision.flags is set at
context_struct_compute_av(). It enables to check required permissions
without read_lock(&policy_rwlock).

messages via netlink socket from SELinux.
* Two new callbacks were added to selinux_set_callback(3)
- SELINUX_CB_SETENFORCE
is invoked when it got SELNL_MSG_SETENFORCE message in the
avc_netlink_process().
- SELINUX_CB_POLICYLOAD
is invoked when it got SELNL_MSG_POLICYLOAD message in the
avc_netlink_process().
* Three functions were exposed to applications.
- int avc_netlink_open(int blocking);
- void avc_netlink_loop(void);
- void avc_netlink_close(void);
Due to a few reasons, SE-PostgreSQL implements its own userspace
avc, so it needs to copy and paste some of avc_internal.c.
This update enables to share common part from such kind of application.
