Merge tag 'selinux-pr-20241112' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/selinux
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

+What: /sys/fs/selinux/user

+KernelVersion: 2.6.12-rc2 (predates git)
+Contact: selinux@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+
+ The selinuxfs "user" node allows userspace to request a list
+ of security contexts that can be reached for a given SELinux
+ user from a given starting context. This was used by libselinux
+ when various login-style programs requested contexts for
+ users, but libselinux stopped using it in 2020.
+ Kernel support will be removed no sooner than Dec 2025.
