2008-10-10netlabel: Add network address selectors to the NetLabel/LSM domain mappingPaul Moore
This patch extends the NetLabel traffic labeling capabilities to individual packets based not only on the LSM domain but the by the destination address as well. The changes here only affect the core NetLabel infrastructre, changes to the NetLabel KAPI and individial protocol engines are also required but are split out into a different patch to ease review.

2008-01-30NetLabel: Remove unneeded RCU read locksPaul Moore
This patch removes some unneeded RCU read locks as we can treat the reads as "safe" even without RCU. It also converts the NetLabel configuration refcount from a spinlock protected u32 into atomic_t to be more consistent with the rest of the kernel.

2007-07-19SELinux: enable dynamic activation/deactivation of NetLabel/SELinux enforcementPaul Moore
Create a new NetLabel KAPI interface, netlbl_enabled(), which reports on the current runtime status of NetLabel based on the existing configuration. LSMs that make use of NetLabel, i.e. SELinux, can use this new function to determine if they should perform NetLabel access checks. This patch changes the NetLabel/SELinux glue code such that SELinux only enforces NetLabel related access checks when netlbl_enabled() returns true. At present NetLabel is considered to be enabled when there is at least one labeled protocol configuration present. The result is that by default NetLabel is considered to be disabled, however, as soon as an administrator configured a CIPSO DOI definition NetLabel is enabled and SELinux starts enforcing NetLabel related access controls - including unlabeled packet controls. This patch also tries to consolidate the multiple "#ifdef CONFIG_NETLABEL" blocks into a single block to ease future review as recommended by Linus.

2006-09-25[NetLabel]: rework the Netlink attribute handling (part 2)Paul Moore
At the suggestion of Thomas Graf, rewrite NetLabel's use of Netlink attributes to better follow the common Netlink attribute usage. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-09-22[NetLabel]: core NetLabel subsystemPaul Moore
Add a new kernel subsystem, NetLabel, to provide explicit packet labeling services (CIPSO, RIPSO, etc.) to LSM developers. NetLabel is designed to work in conjunction with a LSM to intercept and decode security labels on incoming network packets as well as ensure that outgoing network packets are labeled according to the security mechanism employed by the LSM. The NetLabel subsystem is configured through a Generic NETLINK interface described in the header files included in this patch. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
