SELinux on Arm?

SELinux on Arm?

[Mike Anderson]

Greetings!

  All of the traffic I've seen over the past few months has been for the
X86.  Is anyone working on
SELinux (2.6.x) on the ARM/XSCALE?  If so, what distro and target board?

TIA,

Mike

Well, that's mostly because most of the boxes people are interested in putting
SELinux on happen to be x86 (with a few sparc and Power boxes here and there).

Barring any endian-ness, memory capacity,  or lack-of-MMU, or similar issues,
it *should* Just Work on an ARM.  The biggest problem you'll hit is that
there's two main policies defined for RedHat (targeted and strict), and *both*
of them are probably overkill for anything that uses an ARM chipset.  As a
result, you'll probably have to define and write your own policy.  But this
would be the place to ask if you need any particlar hints/guidance.
