Initial SIDs.

I don't understanding why this's required.

As per my understanding, the SID values can be generated by the kernel given the security context and is internal to the kernel and independent of the policy, so I don't understand why do we define SID manually.

Second, I'm not sure why these initial processes require an SID in the 1st place – my guess is cause the security context of the parent processes (like init) are used to compute the security context of it's children; so with a missing security context of the parent process, it's impossible to compute the security context of it's children. So a valid security context has to be predefined.
