  1config SECURITY_SELINUX
  2	bool "NSA SELinux Support"
  3	depends on SECURITY_NETWORK && AUDIT && NET && INET
  4	select NETWORK_SECMARK
  5	default n
  6	help
  7	  This selects NSA Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux).
  8	  You will also need a policy configuration and a labeled filesystem.
  9	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
 10
 11config SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM
 12	bool "NSA SELinux boot parameter"
 13	depends on SECURITY_SELINUX
 14	default n
 15	help
 16	  This option adds a kernel parameter 'selinux', which allows SELinux
 17	  to be disabled at boot.  If this option is selected, SELinux
 18	  functionality can be disabled with selinux=0 on the kernel
 19	  command line.  The purpose of this option is to allow a single
 20	  kernel image to be distributed with SELinux built in, but not
 21	  necessarily enabled.
 22
 23	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
 24
 25config SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM_VALUE
 26	int "NSA SELinux boot parameter default value"
 27	depends on SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM
 28	range 0 1
 29	default 1
 30	help
 31	  This option sets the default value for the kernel parameter
 32	  'selinux', which allows SELinux to be disabled at boot.  If this
 33	  option is set to 0 (zero), the SELinux kernel parameter will
 34	  default to 0, disabling SELinux at bootup.  If this option is
 35	  set to 1 (one), the SELinux kernel parameter will default to 1,
 36	  enabling SELinux at bootup.
 37
 38	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer 1.

 40config SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE
 41	bool "NSA SELinux runtime disable"
 42	depends on SECURITY_SELINUX
 43	select SECURITY_WRITABLE_HOOKS
 44	default n
 45	help
 46	  This option enables writing to a selinuxfs node 'disable', which
 47	  allows SELinux to be disabled at runtime prior to the policy load.
 48	  SELinux will then remain disabled until the next boot.
 49	  This option is similar to the selinux=0 boot parameter, but is to
 50	  support runtime disabling of SELinux, e.g. from /sbin/init, for
 51	  portability across platforms where boot parameters are difficult
 52	  to employ.
 53
 54	  NOTE: selecting this option will disable the '__ro_after_init'
 55	  kernel hardening feature for security hooks.   Please consider
 56	  using the selinux=0 boot parameter instead of enabling this
 57	  option.

 61config SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP
 62	bool "NSA SELinux Development Support"
 63	depends on SECURITY_SELINUX
 64	default y
 65	help
 66	  This enables the development support option of NSA SELinux,
 67	  which is useful for experimenting with SELinux and developing
 68	  policies.  If unsure, say Y.  With this option enabled, the
 69	  kernel will start in permissive mode (log everything, deny nothing)
 70	  unless you specify enforcing=1 on the kernel command line.  You
 71	  can interactively toggle the kernel between enforcing mode and
 72	  permissive mode (if permitted by the policy) via /selinux/enforce.
 
 73
 74config SECURITY_SELINUX_AVC_STATS
 75	bool "NSA SELinux AVC Statistics"
 76	depends on SECURITY_SELINUX
 77	default y
 78	help
 79	  This option collects access vector cache statistics to
 80	  /selinux/avc/cache_stats, which may be monitored via
 81	  tools such as avcstat.
 82
 83config SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE
 84	int "NSA SELinux checkreqprot default value"
 85	depends on SECURITY_SELINUX
 86	range 0 1
 87	default 0
 88	help
 89	  This option sets the default value for the 'checkreqprot' flag
 90	  that determines whether SELinux checks the protection requested
 91	  by the application or the protection that will be applied by the
 92	  kernel (including any implied execute for read-implies-exec) for
 93	  mmap and mprotect calls.  If this option is set to 0 (zero),
 94	  SELinux will default to checking the protection that will be applied
 95	  by the kernel.  If this option is set to 1 (one), SELinux will
 96	  default to checking the protection requested by the application.
 97	  The checkreqprot flag may be changed from the default via the
 98	  'checkreqprot=' boot parameter.  It may also be changed at runtime
 99	  via /selinux/checkreqprot if authorized by policy.

102	  This option sets the number of buckets used in the sidtab hashtable
103	  to 2^SECURITY_SELINUX_SIDTAB_HASH_BITS buckets. The number of hash
104	  collisions may be viewed at /sys/fs/selinux/ss/sidtab_hash_stats. If

115	  conversion.  Setting this option to 0 disables the cache completely.
116
117	  If unsure, keep the default value.
