hi,
I am trying to relate the SELinux policy configuration rules and their
corresponding implementations inside the SELinux module of linux kernel
source code. Is there anytool out there that can automate the whole process
of such validation for me?

I am not sure what you are asking.

If you are asking if there is a way to verify that the policy loaded into the kernel is the same as a particular source policy, then the answer is yes.
1) Build the source policy
2) cat /sys/fs/selinux/policy > kernel.bin
3) sediff source.bin \; kernel.bin > results

If you are asking if there is a way to validate whether the kernel correctly enforces the policy, then I don't know. There used to be a test suite for SELinux that tested the kernel's enforcement of the various classes and permissions, but I don't know what the status of it is.
