[PATCH -v3] kernel: selinux: policy selectable handling of unknown classes and perms

Allow policy to select, in much the same way as it selects MLS support, how the kernel should handle access decisions which contain either unknown classes or unknown permissions in known classes. The three choices for the policy flags are 0 - Deny unknown security access. (default) 2 - reject loading policy if it does not contain all definitions 4 - allow unknown security access

The policy's choice is exported through 2 booleans in selinuxfs. /selinux/deny_unknown and /selinux/reject_unknown.

Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> --- This should include Eamon's patch splitting things into 2 separate bits. offline discussions with sgrubb suggested he explicitly did not care to see the unknown state in the audit record. His claim was that although interesting audit.log != syslog and this is simply another part of the policy. It is not a security action which can be changed during the lifetime of a policy. security/selinux/include/security.h | 2 + security/selinux/selinuxfs.c | 27 ++++++++++++ security/selinux/ss/policydb.c | 4 ++ security/selinux/ss/policydb.h | 8 ++++ security/selinux/ss/services.c | 75 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 5 files changed, 107 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/security/selinux/include/security.h b/security/selinux/include/security.h index 83bdd4d..39337af 100644 --- a/security/selinux/include/security.h
