I confused by the behavior of security_compute_av_raw in fedora rawhide

rc = security_compute_av_raw(ctx, raw, SECCLASS_CONTEXT,
CONTEXT__CONTAINS, &avd);
log_debug("ctx=%s raw=%s avd.allowed=%d rc=%d\n", ctx, raw,
avd.allowed, rc);

with ctx and raw identical user contexts, it works as expected:

ctx=user_u:user_r:user_t:s15:c0.c1023
raw=user_u:user_r:user_t:s15:c0.c1023 avd.allowed=2 rc=0

with ctx and raw identical system contexts, it behaves differently:

ctx=system_u:system_r:setrans_t:s15:c0.c1023
raw=system_u:system_r:setrans_t:s15:c0.c1023 avd.allowed=1 rc=0

both in mls/permissive. No obvious avcs.

The refpolicy only allows context contains permission for the user
domains since that was the only usage of it originally, when checking
whether a user-supplied context was contained by the seusers-defined
range. It is allowed by the interfaces in userdomain.if. If you want it applied to all domains, you'll need to make it part of domain_type().

If it makes sense, I have no trouble doing that upstream. Joe, what do
you think?

Works for me. At a minimum we need:

gen_require(`
        type setrans_t;
        class context contains;
')
allow setrans_t self:context contains;

for Eamon's color mcstrans patch to work. See Ted's earlier email:

I got to rediscover the issue and have Stephen explain it again :)
