2009-01-05SELinux: shrink sizeof av_inhert selinux_class_perm and contextEric Paris
I started playing with pahole today and decided to put it against the selinux structures. Found we could save a little bit of space on x86_64 (and no harm on i686) just reorganizing some structs. Object size changes: av_inherit: 24 -> 16 selinux_class_perm: 48 -> 40 context: 80 -> 72 Admittedly there aren't many of av_inherit or selinux_class_perm's in the kernel (33 and 1 respectively) But the change to the size of struct context reverberate out a bit. I can get some hard number if they are needed, but I don't see why they would be. We do change which cacheline context->len and context->str would be on, but I don't see that as a problem since we are clearly going to have to load both if the context is to be of any value. I've run with the patch and don't seem to be having any problems. An example of what's going on using struct av_inherit would be: form: to: struct av_inherit { struct av_inherit { u16 tclass; const char **common_pts; const char **common_pts; u32 common_base; u32 common_base; u16 tclass; }; (notice all I did was move u16 tclass to the end of the struct instead of the beginning) Memory layout before the change: struct av_inherit { u16 tclass; /* 2 */ /* 6 bytes hole */ const char** common_pts; /* 8 */ u32 common_base; /* 4 */ /* 4 byes padding */ /* size: 24, cachelines: 1 */ /* sum members: 14, holes: 1, sum holes: 6 */ /* padding: 4 */ }; Memory layout after the change: struct av_inherit { const char ** common_pts; /* 8 */ u32 common_base; /* 4 */ u16 tclass; /* 2 */ /* 2 bytes padding */ /* size: 16, cachelines: 1 */ /* sum members: 14, holes: 0, sum holes: 0 */ /* padding: 2 */ }; Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
2008-04-28SELinux: avc_ss.h whitespace, syntax, and other cleanupsEric Paris
This patch changes avc_ss.h to fix whitespace and syntax issues. Things that are fixed may include (does not not have to include) whitespace at end of lines spaces followed by tabs spaces used instead of tabs spacing around parenthesis location of { around structs and else clauses location of * in pointer declarations removal of initialization of static data to keep it in the right section useless {} in if statemetns useless checking for NULL before kfree fixing of the indentation depth of switch statements no assignments in if statements and any number of other things I forgot to mention Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
2006-11-28SELinux: export object class and permission definitionsChad Sellers
Moves the definition of the 3 structs containing object class and permission definitions from avc.c to avc_ss.h so that the security server can access them for validation on policy load. This also adds a new struct type, defined_classes_perms_t, suitable for allowing the security server to access these data structures from the avc.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
