Subject: [PATCH v3 00/42] SELinux namespace support
This series introduces support for SELinux namespaces, i.e. the ability to
create multiple SELinux namespaces each with its own policy, AVC, and
enforcing mode. This support can be leveraged by Linux container runtimes
to establish a private SELinux namespace for each container, enabling the
container to load and enforce its own policy while still remaining bound by
the host OS policy (if any). Documentation and open issues can be found at
https://github.com/stephensmalley/selinuxns.
Performance data:
Baseline = v6.15-rc1+selinux/dev@...1a939225ec8
No NS = this patch series with SECURITY_SELINUX_NS=n
Init NS = Same but with SECURITY_SELINUX_NS=y from init SELinux namespace
Child NS = Same but from a child SELinux namespace
kcbench (automated kernel compilation benchmark packaged by Fedora, run
with -s 6.13 for 10 runs, computing average and standard deviation):
