Hi Linus, I already used my best holiday pull request lines in the audit pull request, so this one is going to be a bit more boring, sorry about that. To make up for this, we do have a birthday of sorts to celebrate: SELinux turns 18 years old this December. Perhaps not the most exciting thing in the world for most people, but I think it's safe to say that anyone reading this email doesn't exactly fall into the "most people" category. Back to business and the pull request itself. Ondrej has five patches in this pull request and I lump them into three categories: one patch to always allow submounts (using similar logic to elsewhere in the kernel), one to fix some issues with the SELinux policydb, and the others to cleanup and improve the SELinux sidtab. The other patches from Alexey and Petr and trivial fixes that are adequately described in their respective subject lines. This is generally a pretty standard set of patches, but there is one potential merge conflict with the mount rework in the vfs tree. If needed, the fixup is pretty small and documented in the linux-next post below; if you have any questions about the merge let us know. * https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181218144858.58d8d1f8@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx With this last pull request of the year, I want to thank everyone who has contributed patches, testing, and reviews to the SELinux project this year, and the past 18 years. Like any good open source effort, SELinux is only as good as the community which supports it, and I'm very happy that we have the community we do - thank you all! -Paul -- The following changes since commit 651022382c7f8da46cb4872a545ee1da6d097d2a: Linux 4.20-rc1 (2018-11-04 15:37:52 -0800) are available in the Git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/selinux.git tags/selinux-pr-20181224 for you to fetch changes up to ee1a84fdfeedfd7362e9a8a8f15fedc3482ade2d: selinux: overhaul sidtab to fix bug and improve performance (2018-12-05 16:12:32 -0500) ---------------------------------------------------------------- selinux/stable-4.21 PR 20181224 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Alexey Dobriyan (1): selinux: make "selinux_policycap_names[]" const char * Ondrej Mosnacek (5): selinux: policydb - fix byte order and alignment issues selinux: refactor sidtab conversion selinux: always allow mounting submounts selinux: use separate table for initial SID lookup selinux: overhaul sidtab to fix bug and improve performance Petr Vorel (1): Documentation: Update SELinux reference policy URL Documentation/admin-guide/LSM/SELinux.rst | 2 +- security/selinux/hooks.c | 2 +- security/selinux/include/security.h | 2 +- security/selinux/ss/mls.c | 24 +- security/selinux/ss/mls.h | 3 +- security/selinux/ss/policydb.c | 61 +++- security/selinux/ss/services.c | 222 +++++------ security/selinux/ss/services.h | 2 +- security/selinux/ss/sidtab.c | 609 ++++++++++++++++++--------- security/selinux/ss/sidtab.h | 96 +++-- 10 files changed, 626 insertions(+), 397 deletions(-) -- paul moore www.paul-moore.com
