When building a monolithic policy with 'make load', the
selinux_config(5) file 'SELINUXTYPE' entry determines what policy
is loaded as load_policy(8) does not take a path value (it always
loads
the active system policy as defined by /etc/selinux/config).
Currently it is possible to load the wrong binary policy, for
example if
the Reference Policy source is located at:
/etc/selinux/refpolicy
and the /etc/selinux/config file has the following entry:
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
Then the /etc/selinux/targeted/policy/policy.<ver> is loaded when
'make load' is executed.
Another example is that if the Reference Policy source is located
at:
/tmp/custom-rootfs/etc/selinux/refpolicy
and the /etc/selinux/config file has the following entry:
SELINUXTYPE=refpolicy
Then the /etc/selinux/refpolicy/policy/policy.<ver> is loaded when
'make DESTDIR=/tmp/custom-rootfs load' is executed (not the
/tmp/custom-rootfs/etc/selinux/refpolicy/policy/policy.<ver> that
the
developer thought would be loaded).
Resolve these issues by using selinux_path(3) to resolve the policy
root,
then checking the selinux_config(5) file for the appropriate
SELINUXTYPE
entry.
Remove the '@touch $(tmpdir)/load' line as the file is never
referenced.

V2 Changes: Use $(error .. instead of NO_LOAD logic. Use python
script to
find selinux path not sestatus. Reword error messages.

Why not use selinux.selinux_binary_policy_path()? Then you don't need
to parse
for SELINUXTYPE above.
Because it has more information than needed. How about using
selinux.selinux_policy_root() to give:
# load_policy(8) loads policy from <POLICY_ROOT>/policy/policy.<ver>
# It does this by reading the <SELINUX_PATH>/config file and using the
# SELINUX_PATH/SELINUXTYPE entry to form the <POLICY_ROOT>.
POLICY_ROOT := $(shell $(selinux_policy_root))
SELINUXTYPE := $(shell basename $(POLICY_ROOT))
SELINUX_PATH := $(shell dirname $(POLICY_ROOT))
Ok, that works, though make has builtin versions of basename and dirname:
