From: Dan Cashman <dcashman@google.com>

The file_contexts labeling backend, specified in label_file.c, currently assumes
that only one path will be specified as an option to selabel_open().  The split
of platform and non-platform policy on device, however, will necessitate the
loading of two disparate policy files.  Rather than combining the files and then
calling the existing API on a newly-formed file, just add the ability to specify
multiple files to use.  Order of opt specification to selabel_open matters.

This corresponds to AOSP commit 50400d38203e4db08314168e60c281cc61a717a8, which
lead to a fork with upstream, which we'd like to correct.

Perhaps surprisingly, opts[i].value can be NULL here and some callers
rely on that.  After applying your patch, coreutils, selabel_lookup,
and other userspace programs all seg fault as a result.  The use case
is programs where the selinux_opt structure is declared with a
SELABEL_OPT_PATH entry whose value is subsequently filled in, and left
NULL if they want to use the default path for file_contexts. 
Internally, libselinux also does this from the
matchpathcon_init_prefix() function.

In any event, you need to handle this case.

Ala:
$ make DESTDIR=~/obj install
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/obj/lib selabel_lookup -b file -k /etc
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

BTW, I guess this exposes another issue with the patch; there is no

to utils/selabel_lookup.c to permit specifying multiple input files via
multiple -f options.  Otherwise, we have no upstream way of testing it.

For selabel_lookup, it would be possible to write a test script (or a
CUnit-based test program like libsepol and libsemanage have) which
does not need an SELinux policy to be installed on the system, thanks
to option -f.
Nevertheless other parts of libselinux (and programs) can not
currently be tested on a system without SELinux, as /etc/selinux and
/sys/fs/selinux are needed. If we want to automatize the testing of
such parts in a CI like Travis-CI, I suppose we would need to run a
virtual machine with its own filesystem, a kernel with SELinux
enabled, and some programs like coreutils compiled with the tested
version of libselinux/libsepol/... As implementing such an idea may
take quite a long time, would there be simpler ways to perform
automatic testing of libselinux? Perhaps using another continuous
integration system?

Cheers,
Nicolas

The free travis just provides an Ubuntu image.... if you use sudo: true
you get a full VM if you don't, you get a docker container.

With that said, we could try to hack up the VM image to support what we need,
or perhaps we can use CMockaand mock out the filesystem calls to proc/selinuxfs
with something that replicates it.(not sure if that's how mock objects work)

Is there selinux-specific travis documentation, or a pointer to 
appropriate travis documetnation in general?  I'd obviously like to cut 
down on bad patch submissions, so having a test suite batter a patch 
before wasting reveiwer time would be great.  We could/should probably 
add this to the README as well if a proper standard workflow is developed.

Thanks,
Dan

We have travis up and running, but it's not excising this code path. Any PR
submitted to the selinux project on githib has travis "test" it via
the .travis.yml
file in the root of the tree.

If you have a fork of selinux on github you could set up travis to run it. It's
pretty simple:
https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/getting-started/

You could also just submit a PR for testing and publish a patch to the list
when you're ready for review...

My response might not be very clear, there are three things you need to do here:
1. Add a test as outlined previously in this thread

2. Test your change:
    Test your change with travis (optional):
      1. Setting it up on your fork of selinux project on github (hardest)
      2. Submitting a PR to the selinux github project (easiest)

     If its part of the test suite, you can run that by hand....

3. Submit patch to mailing list for review.

I know you tested all these on Android, but I think we need it as part of the
test framework.,,

Ok, I'll look into that a bit when I get around to attempting v4. 
Option 2 should suffice.

Yes, this patch has clearly illustrated that android testing is 
insufficient for upstream use-cases.  That's why I'd like to eventually 
have the upstream tests running as part of android builds and also why 
I'm hoping to establish some sort of upstreaming workflow beyond "fire 
away and let sds@ catch issues."

Thanks!
