SELinux doesn't use ACLs. It does use extended attributes now to store
file security contexts on disk. In the past, it used its own custom
persistent label mapping on the disk.

SELinux uses extended attributes to store security contexts for files, in
the security.selinux namespace.
It does not use ACLs.
