2 config SECURITY_SELINUX
3 bool "NSA SELinux Support"
4 depends on SECURITY_NETWORK && AUDIT && NET && INET
8 This selects NSA Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux).
9 You will also need a policy configuration and a labeled filesystem.
10 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
12 config SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM
13 bool "NSA SELinux boot parameter"
14 depends on SECURITY_SELINUX
17 This option adds a kernel parameter 'selinux', which allows SELinux
18 to be disabled at boot. If this option is selected, SELinux
19 functionality can be disabled with selinux=0 on the kernel
20 command line. The purpose of this option is to allow a single
21 kernel image to be distributed with SELinux built in, but not
24 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
26 config SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE
27 bool "NSA SELinux runtime disable"
28 depends on SECURITY_SELINUX
29 select SECURITY_WRITABLE_HOOKS
32 This option enables writing to a selinuxfs node 'disable', which
33 allows SELinux to be disabled at runtime prior to the policy load.
34 SELinux will then remain disabled until the next boot.
35 This option is similar to the selinux=0 boot parameter, but is to
36 support runtime disabling of SELinux, e.g. from /sbin/init, for
37 portability across platforms where boot parameters are difficult
40 NOTE: selecting this option will disable the '__ro_after_init'
41 kernel hardening feature for security hooks. Please consider
42 using the selinux=0 boot parameter instead of enabling this
45 WARNING: this option is deprecated and will be removed in a future
48 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
50 config SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP
51 bool "NSA SELinux Development Support"
52 depends on SECURITY_SELINUX
55 This enables the development support option of NSA SELinux,
56 which is useful for experimenting with SELinux and developing
57 policies. If unsure, say Y. With this option enabled, the
58 kernel will start in permissive mode (log everything, deny nothing)
59 unless you specify enforcing=1 on the kernel command line. You
60 can interactively toggle the kernel between enforcing mode and
61 permissive mode (if permitted by the policy) via
62 /sys/fs/selinux/enforce.
64 config SECURITY_SELINUX_AVC_STATS
65 bool "NSA SELinux AVC Statistics"
66 depends on SECURITY_SELINUX
69 This option collects access vector cache statistics to
70 /sys/fs/selinux/avc/cache_stats, which may be monitored via
71 tools such as avcstat.
73 config SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE
74 int "NSA SELinux checkreqprot default value"
75 depends on SECURITY_SELINUX
79 This option sets the default value for the 'checkreqprot' flag
80 that determines whether SELinux checks the protection requested
81 by the application or the protection that will be applied by the
82 kernel (including any implied execute for read-implies-exec) for
83 mmap and mprotect calls. If this option is set to 0 (zero),
84 SELinux will default to checking the protection that will be applied
85 by the kernel. If this option is set to 1 (one), SELinux will
86 default to checking the protection requested by the application.
87 The checkreqprot flag may be changed from the default via the
88 'checkreqprot=' boot parameter. It may also be changed at runtime
89 via /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot if authorized by policy.
91 WARNING: this option is deprecated and will be removed in a future
94 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer 0.
96 config SECURITY_SELINUX_SIDTAB_HASH_BITS
97 int "NSA SELinux sidtab hashtable size"
98 depends on SECURITY_SELINUX
102 This option sets the number of buckets used in the sidtab hashtable
103 to 2^SECURITY_SELINUX_SIDTAB_HASH_BITS buckets. The number of hash
104 collisions may be viewed at /sys/fs/selinux/ss/sidtab_hash_stats. If
105 chain lengths are high (e.g. > 20) then selecting a higher value here
106 will ensure that lookups times are short and stable.
108 config SECURITY_SELINUX_SID2STR_CACHE_SIZE
109 int "NSA SELinux SID to context string translation cache size"
110 depends on SECURITY_SELINUX
113 This option defines the size of the internal SID -> context string
114 cache, which improves the performance of context to string
115 conversion. Setting this option to 0 disables the cache completely.
117 If unsure, keep the default value.
