selinux_file_context_verify(3) should now return the correct codes and
matchpathcon(8) has been modified to handle them.
The selinux_file_context_verify(3)and selinux_file_context_cmp(3) man pages
have also been updated (re-written really) to correct return codes.
I found that selabel_open left errno set to ENOENT because a
file_contexts.subs file did not exist on my system, but left selabel_open
alone and set errno = 0 before calling selinux_filecontext_cmp.

The idea is to allow distributions to ship a subs file as well as let
the user modify subs.
In F16 we are looking at shipping a
file_contexts.subs_dist file like this
cat file_contexts.subs_dist
/run /var/run
/run/lock /var/lock
/var/run/lock /var/lock
/lib64 /lib
/usr/lib64 /usr/lib
The we will remove all (64)? from policy.
This will allow us to make sure all /usr/lib/libBLAH is labeled the same
as /usr/lib64/libBLAH

If you fail to load_policy in the init or SELinux is disabled, you need
to free the selinux_mnt variable and clear the memory.
systemd was calling load_polcy on a DISABLED system then later on it
would call is_selinux_enabled() and get incorrect response, since
selinux_mnt still had valid data.
The second bug in libselinux, resolves around calling the
selinux_key_delete(destructor_key) if the selinux_key_create call had
never been called. This was causing data to be freed in other
applications that loaded an unloaded the libselinux library but never
setup setrans or matchpathcon.

The attached patch adds several interfaces to reference /selinux/status
according to sequential-lock logic.
selinux_status_open() open the kernel status page and mmap it with
read-only mode, or open netlink socket as a fallback in older kernels.
Then, we can obtain status information from the mmap'ed page using
selinux_status_updated(), selinux_status_getenfoce(),
selinux_status_policyload() or selinux_status_deny_unknown().
It enables to help to implement userspace avc with heavy access control
decision; that we cannot ignore the cost to communicate with kernel for
validation of userspace caches.

At first, I tried to add const qualifiers read-only security_context_t
pointers, but didn't replace them by char */const char * yet, right now.
BTW, I could find out the following code:
int security_compute_create(security_context_t scon,
security_context_t tcon,
security_class_t tclass,
security_context_t * newcon)
{
int ret;
security_context_t rscon = scon;
security_context_t rtcon = tcon;
security_context_t rnewcon;
if (selinux_trans_to_raw_context(scon, &rscon))
return -1;
if (selinux_trans_to_raw_context(tcon, &rtcon)) {
freecon(rscon);
return -1;
}
:
In this case, scon and tcon can be qualified by const, and the first
argument of selinux_trans_to_raw_context() can take const pointer.
But it tries to initialize rscon and tscon by const pointer, although
these are used to store raw security contexts.
The selinux_trans_to_raw_context() always set dynamically allocated
text string on the second argument, so we don't need to initialize it
anyway. I also removed these initializations in this patch.
Does the older mcstrans code could return without allocation of raw
format when the given scon is already raw format? I don't know why
these are initialized in this manner.
Thanks.

for the given database object identified by its name and object class.
It is necessary to implement a feature something like the restorecon on databases.
The specfile shall be described as follows:
------------------------
#
# The specfile for database objects
# (for SE-PostgreSQL)
#
# <object class> <object name> <security context>
#
db_database * system_u:object_r:sepgsql_db_t:s0
db_schema *.pg_catalog system_u:obejct_r:sepgsql_sys_schema_t:s0
db_schema *.* system_u:object_r:sepgsql_schema_t:s0
db_table *.pg_catalog.* system_u:object_r:sepgsql_sysobj_t:s0
db_table *.*.* system_u:object_r:sepgsql_table_t:s0
------------------------
- All the characters after the '#' are ignored.
- Wildcards ('*' and '?') are available.
- It returns the first match security context.
Note that hierarchy of the namespace of database objects depends on RDBMS.
So, author of the specfile needs to write correct patterns which are suitable
for the target RDBMS. The patched selabel_*() interfaces don't have any
heuristics for the namespace hierarchy to be suitable for widespread RDBMSs.
In the case of SE-PgSQL, when we lookup an expected security context for the
'my_table' table in the 'public' schema and 'postgres' database, the caller
shall provide 'postgres.public.my_table' as a key.
In the default, it tries to read a specfile which maps database objects and security
context from the /etc/selinux/$POLICYTYPE/contexts/sepgsql_contexts.
Note that when another RDBMS uses this interface, it needs to give an explicit
SELABEL_OPT_PATH option on the selabel_open().

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.

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

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

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).

* 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.
