Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
- Add support for netlink xperms
Some time ago we added the concept of "xperms" to the SELinux policy
so that we could write policy for individual ioctls, this builds upon
this by using extending xperms to netlink so that we can write
SELinux policy for individual netlnk message types and not rely on
the fairly coarse read/write mapping tables we currently have.
There are limitations involving generic netlink due to the
multiplexing that is done, but it's no worse that what we currently
have. As usual, more information can be found in the commit message.
- Deprecate /sys/fs/selinux/user
We removed the only known userspace use of this back in 2020 and now
that several years have elapsed we're starting down the path of
deprecating it in the kernel.
- Cleanup the build under scripts/selinux
A couple of patches to move the genheaders tool under
security/selinux and correct our usage of kernel headers in the tools
located under scripts/selinux. While these changes originated out of
an effort to build Linux on different systems, they are arguably the
right thing to do regardless.
- Minor code cleanups and style fixes
Not much to say here, two minor cleanup patches that came out of the
netlink xperms work
