Subject: [PATCH 0/3 v3] libsepol, policycoreutils, and checkpolicy: Add
support for generating CIL to libsepol and checkpolicy

V3 fixes another whitespace issue.
V2 fixes some whitespace issues and make the new libsepol file LGPL
instead of GPL.

This patch set moves the code to generate CIL from pp.c in
policycoreutils/hll/pp to libsepol, adds a new function to generate CIL from
a module policydb, and modifies checkpolicy and checkmodule to support
generating CIL as their output.

The primary motivation of this work is to allow SE for Android to use the
CIl compiler. Converting the policy.conf to CIL and then compiling to the
kernel binary policy results in a policy that is about 20% smaller. The
smaller size is because type expressions with negations are converted to
type attribute sets in CIL instead of being expanded.

Jim,

Can you modify the usage and man pages for checkpolicy and checkmodule to include the new CIL options?


Yes. I should have done that.

Does it make sense to add sepol_ppfile_to_module_package and sepol_module_package_to_cil to the libsepol map file and make pp link dynamically with libsepol?

Makes sense to me.

Thanks for the feedback.
