selinux: adjust utils to run restorecon with -Z
cp, mv, install, mkdir, mkfifo, mknod are adjusted so that: -Z no longer accepts an argument. -Z or --context without an argument do not warn without SELinux. --context with an argument will warn without SELinux. * src/local.mk: Reference the new selinux module where required. * src/system.h: Make the argument to --context optional. * src/mkdir.c: Likewise. Also handle the SMACK case for --context. Note we currently silently ignore -Z with SMACK. * src/mkfifo.c: Likewise. * src/mknod.c: Likewise. * src/install.c: Likewise. Note install(1) by default already set the context for target files to their system default, albeit with an older method. Use the -Z option to select between the old and new context restoration behavior, and document the differences and details for how context restoration is done in new and old methods, with a view disabling the old method entirely in future. * src/cp.c: Make the argument to --context optional. Note -Z implies --no-preserve=context. I.E. -Z overrides that aspect of -a no matter what order specified. (struct cp_options): Document the context handling options. (main): Check/adjust option combinations after all options are processed, to both simplify processing and to make handling independent of order of options on the command line. Also improve the diagnostics from a failed call to setfscreatecon(). (set_process_security_ctx): A new function, refactored to set the default context from the source file, or with the type adjusted as per the system default for the destination path. (set_file_security_ctx): A new function refactored to set the security context of an existing file, either based on the process context or the default system context for a path. (copy_internal): Use the refactored functions to simplify error handling and consistently fail or warn as needed. (copy_reg): Likewise. (copy_internal): With --preserve=context, also copy context from non regular files. Note for directories this may impact the copying of subsequent files to that directory? (copy_attr): If we're handling SELinux explicitly, then exclude to avoid the redudant copy with --preserve=context, and the problematic copy with -Z. Note SELinux attribute exclusion also now honors cp -a --no-preserve=context. Note there was a very small window over 10 years ago, where attr_copy_file was available, while attr_copy_check_permissions was not, so we don't bother adding an explicit m4 check for the latter function. * src/mv.c: Support --context, but don't allow specifying an argument. * src/chcon.c: Adjust a comment to be specific to SELinux. * src/runcon.c: Likewise. * src/copy.c: Honor the context settings to "restorecon" as appropriate. * src/copy.h: Add a new setting to select "restorecon" functionality. * tests/mkdir/selinux.sh: s/-Z/--context=/ * tests/cp/cp-a-selinux.sh: Augment this test with cases testing basic -Z functionality, and also test the various invalid option combinations and option precedence. * tests/mkdir/restorecon.sh: Add a new test for the more involved mkdir -Z handling, since the directory changing and non existent directories need to be specially handled. Also check the similar but simpler handling of -Z by mk{nod,fifo}. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Update as per interface changes. (mv invocation): Likewise. (install invocation): Likewise. (mkfifo invocation): Likewise. (mknod invocation): Likewise. (mkdir invocation): Likewise. * NEWS: Mention the new feature and change in behavior.
