Subject: [PATCH v7 14/42] selinux: allow userspace to detect non-init SELinux namespace
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2025 09:26:05 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250814132637.1659-15-stephen.smalley.work@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250814132637.1659-1-stephen.smalley.work@gmail.com>
Enable reading of /sys/fs/selinux/unshare as a way to detect
whether a process is in a non-init SELinux namespace. This is
to allow the selinux-testsuite to adapt based on whether it is
run within a child SELinux namespace. Whether or not we want
to retain this as a userspace API is an open question.
