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))

On second thought, isn't another way of doing the check:

selinux.selinux_binary_policy_path() + "." + POLICYVER ==
$(loadpath)?

Yes I could, however that accounts for only one of the checks:
    Cannot load policy as policy root MUST be ...

The other check uses SELINUXTYPE against $NAME to see if the config
file has the correct entry:
    Cannot load policy as $(SELINUX_PATH)/config file ...

I could just use one test and say that the policy must be based at
/etc/selinux/$(NAME) plus the /etc/selinux/config file SELINUXTYPE
entry must be $(NAME) ???

Since the Makefile creates $(loadpath) to be $(topdir)/$NAME/policy/policy.$ver, and selinux.selinux_binary_policy_path() takes into account SELINUXTYPE, the only reason the $topdir ($DESTDIR/etc/selinux), would be a problem is if DESTDIR is set. We should instead fail the load if DESTDIR is set. If the user alters the $(topdir) of the Makefile to change /etc/selinux into something else, that is undefined behavior since lowercase variables aren't meant to be altered by users. I see no reason to check that case.
