libsepol/cil: Report correct high-level language line numbers

CIL supports specifiying the original high-level language file and
line numbers when reporting errors. This is done through line marks
and is mostly used to report the original Refpolicy file and line
number for neverallow rules that have been converted to CIL.

As long as the line mark remain simple, everything works fine, but
the wrong line numbers will be reported with more complex nextings
of line marks.

Example:
;;* lms 100 file01.hll
(type t1a)
(allow t1a self (CLASS (PERM)))
;;* lmx 200 file02.hll
(type t2a)
(allow t2a self (CLASS (PERM)))
;;* lme
(type t1b)
(allow t1b self (CLASS (PERM)))
(allow bad1b self (CLASS (PERM))) ; file01.hll:101 (Should be 106)
;;* lme

The primary problem is that the tree nodes can only store one hll
line number. Instead a number is needed that can be used by any
number of stacked line mark sections. This number would increment
line a normal line number except when in lmx sections (that have
the same line number throughout the section because they represent
an expansion of a line -- like the expansion of a macro call. This
number can go backwards when exiting a lms section within a lmx
section, because line number will increase in the lms section, but
outside the lmx section, the line number did not advance.

This number is called the hll_offset and this is the value that is
now stored in tree nodes instead of the hll line number. To calculate
the hll line number for a rule, a search is made for an ancestor of
the node that is a line mark and the line number for a lms section
is the hll line number stored in the line mark, plus the hll offset
of the rule, minus the hll offset of the line mark node, minus one.
(hll_lineno + hll_offset_rule - hll_offset_lm - 1)

Installation

SELinux libraries and tools are packaged in several Linux distributions:

Building and testing

Build dependencies on Fedora:

# For C libraries and programs
dnf install \
    audit-libs-devel \
    bison \
    bzip2-devel \
    CUnit-devel \
    diffutils \
    flex \
    gcc \
    gettext \
    glib2-devel \
    make \
    libcap-devel \
    libcap-ng-devel \
    pam-devel \
    pcre-devel \
    xmlto

# For Python and Ruby bindings
dnf install \
    python3-devel \
    ruby-devel \
    swig

Build dependencies on Debian:

# For C libraries and programs
apt-get install --no-install-recommends --no-install-suggests \
    bison \
    flex \
    gawk \
    gcc \
    gettext \
    make \
    libaudit-dev \
    libbz2-dev \
    libcap-dev \
    libcap-ng-dev \
    libcunit1-dev \
    libglib2.0-dev \
    libpcre3-dev \
    pkgconf \
    python3 \
    python3-distutils \
    systemd \
    xmlto

# For Python and Ruby bindings
apt-get install --no-install-recommends --no-install-suggests \
    python3-dev \
    ruby-dev \
    swig

To build and install everything under a private directory, run:

make clean distclean

make DESTDIR=~/obj install install-rubywrap install-pywrap

On Debian PYTHON_SETUP_ARGS=--install-layout=deb needs to be set when installing the python wrappers in order to create the correct python directory structure.

To run tests with the built libraries and programs, several paths (relative to $DESTDIR) need to be added to variables $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, $PATH and $PYTHONPATH. This can be done using ./scripts/env_use_destdir:

DESTDIR=~/obj ./scripts/env_use_destdir make test

Some tests require the reference policy to be installed (for example in python/sepolgen). In order to run these ones, instructions similar to the ones in section install of ./.travis.yml can be executed.

To install as the default system libraries and binaries (overwriting any previously installed ones - dangerous!), on x86_64, run:

make LIBDIR=/usr/lib64 SHLIBDIR=/lib64 install install-pywrap relabel

or on x86 (32-bit), run:

make install install-pywrap relabel

This may render your system unusable if the upstream SELinux userspace lacks library functions or other dependencies relied upon by your distribution. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

Setting CFLAGS

Setting CFLAGS during the make process will cause the omission of many defaults. While the project strives to provide a reasonable set of default flags, custom CFLAGS could break the build, or have other undesired changes on the build output. Thus, be very careful when setting CFLAGS. CFLAGS that are encouraged to be set when overriding are:

  • -fno-semantic-interposition for gcc or compilers that do not do this. clang does this by default. clang-10 and up will support passing this flag, but ignore it. Previous clang versions fail.

macOS

To install libsepol on macOS (mainly for policy analysis):

cd libsepol; make PREFIX=/usr/local install

This requires GNU coreutils:

brew install coreutils
