Instead of storing an opaque string, call security_secctx_to_secid() right in the "secctx" command handler and store only the numeric "secid". This eliminates an unnecessary string allocation and allows the daemon to receive errors when writing the "secctx" command instead of postponing the error to the "bind" command handler. For example, if the kernel was built without `CONFIG_SECURITY`, "bind" will return `EOPNOTSUPP`, but the daemon doesn't know why. With this patch, the "secctx" will instead return `EOPNOTSUPP` which is the right context for this error. This patch adds a boolean flag `have_secid` because I'm not sure if we can safely assume that zero is the special secid value for "not set". This appears to be true for SELinux, Smack and AppArmor, but since this attribute is not documented, I'm unable to derive a stable guarantee for that.

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.
