[refpolicy] new runtime udev directory tree (was Re: ANN: Reference Policy Release)

[guido@trentalancia.com (Guido Trentalancia)]

Thanks very much Christopher for the new release !

Just a quick reminder that it seems to me that latest git (and thus
implicitly the new release), do not cater proper file contexts
definitions yet for new udev directory /run.

Latest udev releases are moving from /dev/.udev to /run (still optional
at this transition stage but perhaps it will become mandatory one day).

In terms of release numbers should be at least any udev-17? (but
possibly also some of the udev-16?).

At the moment, I see:

# ls -lZ /dev/.udev/
drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:udev_tbl_t:s0
...

# grep ^/run policy/modules/kernel/files.fc 
/run			-d	gen_context(system_u:object_r:var_run_t,s0-mls_systemhigh)
/run/.*				gen_context(system_u:object_r:var_run_t,s0)
/run/.*\.*pid			<<none>>
/run/lock(/.*)?			gen_context(system_u:object_r:var_lock_t,s0)

# grep ^/var\/run policy/modules/kernel/files.fc 
/var/run			-d	gen_context(system_u:object_r:var_run_t,s0-mls_systemhigh)
/var/run			-l	gen_context(system_u:object_r:var_run_t,s0)
/var/run/.*			gen_context(system_u:object_r:var_run_t,s0)
/var/run/.*\.*pid		<<none>>
/var/run/motd		--	gen_context(system_u:object_r:etc_runtime_t,s0)

If the above is confirmed, we have an inconsistency for /run because it would
just be a duplicate for /var/run which potentially conflicts with new udev.

Regards,

Guido
