libselinux mountpoint changing patch.
The Fedora Distribution is looking to standardize kernel subsystem file
systems to be mounted under /sys/fs. They would like us to move /selinux
to /sys/fs/selinux. This patch changes libselinux in the following
ways:
1. load_policy will first check if /sys/fs/selinux exists and mount the
selinuxfs at this location, if it does not exists it will fall back to
mounting the file system at /selinux (if it exists).
2. The init functions of selinux will now check if /sys/fs/selinux is
mounted, if it is and has an SELinuxfs mounted on it, the code will then
check if the selinuxfs is mounted rw, if it is, libselinux will set the
mountpoint, if it is readonly, libselinux will return no mountpoint. If
/sys/fs/selinux does not exists, the same check will be done for
/selinux and finally for an entry in /proc/mounts.
NOTE: We added the check for RO, to allow tools like mock to be able to
tell a chroot that SELinux is disabled while enforcing it outside the
chroot.
$ getenforce
Enabled
$ mount --bind /selinux /var/chroot/selinux
$ mount -o remount,ro /var/chroot/selinux
$ chroot /var/chroot
$ getenforce
Disabled
3. In order to make this work, I needed to stop enabled from checking if
/proc/filesystem for entries if selinux_mnt did not exist. Now enabeled
checks if selinux_mnt has been discovered otherwise it will report
selinux disabled.
