The old mechanism to initialize AVC, avc_init(3), is deprected. This
leaves libselinux with no way of guarding the AVC cache when accessed
from multiple threads. When applications call access check APIs from
multiple threads, the AVC cache may become corrupted.
This change adds new callback functions to selinux_set_callback(3).
These new callbacks all correspond to the functions that used to be
passed via avc_init(3). Multi-threaded applications may set these
callbacks to guard the AVC cache against simultaneous access by
multiple threads.
This change adds the following callbacks:
- SELINUX_CB_ALLOC_LOCK
is invoked to allocate new locks
- SELINUX_CB_GET_LOCK
is invoked to acquire a lock
- SELINUX_CB_RELEASE_LOCK
is invoked to release a previously-acquired lock
- SELINUX_CB_FREE_LOCK
is invoked to free a previosly-allocated lock
