   avc_cleanup    ( 3 )

---

Имя (Name)

avc_open, avc_destroy, avc_reset, avc_cleanup - userspace SELinux AVC setup and teardown

---

Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <selinux/selinux.h> #include <selinux/avc.h>

int avc_open(struct selinux_opt *options, unsigned nopt);

void avc_destroy(void);

int avc_reset(void);

void avc_cleanup(void);

---

Описание (Description)

avc_open() initializes the userspace AVC and must be called before any other AVC operation can be performed.

avc_destroy() destroys the userspace AVC, freeing all internal memory structures. After this call has been made, avc_open() must be called again before any AVC operations can be performed. avc_destroy() also closes the SELinux status page, which might have been opened manually by selinux_status_open(3).

avc_reset() flushes the userspace AVC, causing it to forget any cached access decisions. The userspace AVC normally calls this function automatically when needed, see NETLINK NOTIFICATION below.

avc_cleanup() attempts to free unused memory within the userspace AVC, but does not flush any cached access decisions. Under normal operation, calling this function should not be necessary.

---

Параметры (Options)

The userspace AVC obeys callbacks set via
       selinux_set_callback(3), in particular the logging and audit
       callbacks.

       The options which may be passed to avc_open() include the
       following:

       AVC_OPT_SETENFORCE
              This option forces the userspace AVC into enforcing mode
              if the option value is non-NULL; permissive mode
              otherwise.  The system enforcing mode will be ignored.

Страница состояния ядра (Kernel status page)

Linux kernel version 2.6.37 supports the SELinux kernel status page, enabling userspace applications to mmap(2) SELinux status state in read-only mode to avoid system calls during the cache hit code path.

avc_open() calls selinux_status_open(3) to initialize the selinux status state.

avc_has_perm(3) and selinux_check_access(3) both check for status updates through calls to selinux_status_updated(3) at the start of each permission query and take the appropriate action.

Two status types are currently implemented. setenforce events will change the effective enforcing state used within the AVC, and policyload events will result in a cache flush.

---

Уведомление NETLINK (NETLINK notification)

In the event that the kernel status page is not successfully mmap(2)'ed the AVC will default to the netlink fallback mechanism, which opens a netlink socket for receiving status updates. setenforce and policyload events will have the same results as for the status page implementation, but all status update checks will now require a system call.

Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

Functions with a return value return zero on success. On error, -1 is returned and errno is set appropriately.
