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 * tag 'selinux-pr-20241112' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/selinux: selinux: Deprecate /sys/fs/selinux/user selinux: apply clang format to security/selinux/nlmsgtab.c selinux: streamline selinux_nlmsg_lookup() selinux: Add netlink xperm support selinux: move genheaders to security/selinux/ selinux: do not include <linux/*.h> headers from host programs
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
