  • SELinux would like to implement a new labeling behavior of newly created
    inodes. We currently label new inodes based on the parent and the creating
    process. This new behavior would also take into account the name of the
    new object when deciding the new label. This is not the (supposed) full path,
    just the last component of the path.

    This is very useful because creating /etc/shadow is different than creating
    /etc/passwd but the kernel hooks are unable to differentiate these
    operations. We currently require that userspace realize it is doing some
    difficult operation like that and than userspace jumps through SELinux hoops
    to get things set up correctly. This patch does not implement new
    behavior, that is obviously contained in a seperate SELinux patch, but it
    does pass the needed name down to the correct LSM hook. If no such name
    exists it is fine to pass NULL.

  • This patch modifies ext2 to call the inode_init_security LSM hook to obtain
    the security attribute for a newly created inode and to set the resulting
    attribute on the new inode. This parallels the existing processing for
    setting ACLs on newly created inodes.

  • 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!
