Commit bfc5e3a6af39 ("selinux: use the kernel headers when building
scripts/selinux") is not the right thing to do.
It is clear from the warning in include/uapi/linux/types.h:
#ifndef __EXPORTED_HEADERS__
#warning "Attempt to use kernel headers from user space, see https://kernelnewbies.org/KernelHeaders";
#endif /* __EXPORTED_HEADERS__ */
If you are inclined to define __EXPORTED_HEADERS__, you are likely doing
wrong.
Adding the comment:
/* NOTE: we really do want to use the kernel headers here */
does not justify the hack in any way.
Currently, <linux/*.h> headers are included for the following purposes:
- <linux/capability.h> is included to check CAP_LAST_CAP
- <linux/socket.h> in included to check PF_MAX
We can skip these checks when building host programs, as they will
be eventually tested when building the kernel space.
I got rid of <linux/stddef.h> from initial_sid_to_string.h because
it is likely that NULL is already defined. If you insist on making
it self-contained, you can add the following:
#ifdef __KERNEL__
#include <linux/stddef.h>
#else
#include <stddef.h>
#endif
scripts/selinux/mdp/mdp.c still includes <linux/kconfig.h>, which is
also discouraged and should be fixed by a follow-up refactoring.
