[ SEPOL ] Further users cleanup

[Ivan Gyurdiev]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 372 bytes --]

- remove select/kill/clear_unused things (will only be used in genusers)
- remove delete (all changes will be additive for now, through semanage)

- move delusers things into genusers.c
- move genusers/genbools prototypes from sepol.h into their respective 
headers

- map: remove sepol_clear_unused_users
- map: remove duplicate sepol_set_delusers (it's in there twice)

Ok.  Note that we'll likely want to remove all wildcards from the map
files (for both libsepol and libsemanage) and explicitly list all
interfaces we want exported to avoid surprises, or at least check that
we aren't exporting anything accidentally.  
nm src/libsepol.so.1 | grep ' T ' shows some interfaces that shouldn't
really be public at present.

The services.c functions also had sepol_ prefixes added when audit2why
was created (it uses the static libsepol, but also uses libselinux, and
libselinux has similar functions that interact with the kernel policy
rather than a policy file/image).  Hence, we get symbols like
sepol_context_to_sid and sepol_port_sid exported by the wildcards.
Also, one exported symbol that was pre-existing was
sepol_genbools_policydb, which was likewise created for audit2why and
accidentally exported by the wildcard there, but as there should be no
other users and it was never put into the "public" header, it likely
does no harm to correct it now to only export genbools and
genbools_array.

Also need to fix this:
$ relinfo.pl src/libsepol.so.1
src/libsepol.so.1: 68 relocations, 61 relative (89%), 94 PLT entries, 60 for local syms (63%), 0 users

There shouldn't be any for local syms; need to bring over dso.h and
hidden_def/hidden_proto stuff from libselinux.

Attached patch does this for the sepol_bool functions used internally by
libsepol.  Same kind of change needs to be made for all sepol functions
that one sees in readelf -r libsepol.so.1

I'm confused, the bool_record is supposed to be exported out of sepol... 
it's shared with semanage. That could change, based on the current 
discussion of sharing records... but I wasn't sure if that's what you 
intended.

hidden_def/hidden_proto isn't about hiding the symbol from users of the
shared library (that would be done by marking it "hidden", or in the
libsepol case, by omitting it from the map file).
hidden_def/hidden_proto creates an internal reference to the symbol for
use within the library so that intra-library use doesn't require a
relocation.

No, I need it for all functions used within the library that are also
exported to users of the shared library.  The patch was just to get you
started.  Not a high priority, mind you, just something we want to do as
a cleanup.

You only need this for booleans?
