James Carter 46c5207482 libsepol: mark permissive types when loading a binary policy
Nicolas Iooss reports:
When using checkpolicy to read a binary policy, permissive types are not
written in the output file. In order to reproduce this issue, a test
policy can be written from minimal.cil with the following commands:

    $ cd secilc/test/
    $ cp minimum.cil my_policy.cil
    $ echo '(typepermissive TYPE)' >> my_policy.cil
    $ secilc my_policy.cil
    $ checkpolicy -bC -o /dev/stdout policy.31

    # There is no "(typepermissive TYPE)" in checkpolicy output.

This is because TYPE_FLAGS_PERMISSIVE is added to typdatum->flags only
when loading a module, which uses the permissive flag in the type
properties. A kernel policy defines permissive types in a dedicated
bitmap, which gets loaded as p->permissive_map before the types are
loaded.

The solution is to use the permissive_map bitmap instead of relying on
the flags field of the struct type_datum when writing out CIL or
policy.conf policy from a binary.

Build dependencies on Fedora:
yum install audit-libs-devel bison bzip2-devel dbus-devel dbus-glib-devel flex flex-devel flex-static glib2-devel libcap-devel libcap-ng-devel pam-devel pcre-devel python-devel setools-devel swig xmlto redhat-rpm-config

To build and install everything under a private directory, run:
make DESTDIR=~/obj install install-pywrap

To install as the default system libraries and binaries
(overwriting any previously installed ones - dangerous!),
on x86_64, run:
make LIBDIR=/usr/lib64 SHLIBDIR=/lib64 install install-pywrap relabel
or on x86 (32-bit), run:
make install install-pywrap relabel

This may render your system unusable if the upstream SELinux userspace
lacks library functions or other dependencies relied upon by your
distribution.  If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

To install libsepol on macOS (mainly for policy analysis):
cd libsepol; make PREFIX=/usr/local install

This requires GNU coreutils (brew install coreutils).
