Provide a selinux_unshare() wrapper for lsm_set_self_attr(LSM_ATTR_UNSHARE, ...) and other required processing when unsharing the SELinux namespace, and an is_selinux_unshared() wrapper for lsm_get_self_attr(LSM_ATTR_UNSHARE, ...) for detecting whether one is in an unshared SELinux namespace that has not yet been fully initialized. Add a selinux_unshare() interface to unshare the SELinux namespace, and a unshareselinux utility to run a shell or command in its own SELinux and mount namespaces. The selinux_unshare() interface expects the caller to have already unshared its mount namespace and created a MS_REC|MS_PRIVATE mount of / prior to invoking it so that it can freely modify the selinuxfs mount as needed by the unshare operation. The unshareselinux utility demonstrates how to do this prior to calling selinux_unshare(). Upon a successful return from selinux_unshare(), the SELinux namespace will be unshared and there will be no selinuxfs mount on /sys/fs/selinux. The caller can then proceed to mount a new selinuxfs filesystem private to the new namespace, load a policy, set enforcing mode, etc, as is commonly handled by init/systemd during boot. Add an is_selinux_unshared() interface to detect whether one is in an unshared SELinux namespace that has not yet been fully initialized (i.e. no policy loaded yet), and a selinuxunshared utility to use it from a shell or script.
