1 config SECURITY_SELINUX
2 bool "NSA SELinux Support"
3 depends on SECURITY_NETWORK && AUDIT && NET && INET
7 This selects NSA Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux).
8 You will also need a policy configuration and a labeled filesystem.
9 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
11 config SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM
12 bool "NSA SELinux boot parameter"
13 depends on SECURITY_SELINUX
16 This option adds a kernel parameter 'selinux', which allows SELinux
17 to be disabled at boot. If this option is selected, SELinux
18 functionality can be disabled with selinux=0 on the kernel
19 command line. The purpose of this option is to allow a single
20 kernel image to be distributed with SELinux built in, but not
23 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
25 config SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM_VALUE
26 int "NSA SELinux boot parameter default value"
27 depends on SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM
31 This option sets the default value for the kernel parameter
32 'selinux', which allows SELinux to be disabled at boot. If this
33 option is set to 0 (zero), the SELinux kernel parameter will
34 default to 0, disabling SELinux at bootup. If this option is
35 set to 1 (one), the SELinux kernel parameter will default to 1,
36 enabling SELinux at bootup.
38 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer 1.
40 config SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE
41 bool "NSA SELinux runtime disable"
42 depends on SECURITY_SELINUX
43 select SECURITY_WRITABLE_HOOKS
46 This option enables writing to a selinuxfs node 'disable', which
47 allows SELinux to be disabled at runtime prior to the policy load.
48 SELinux will then remain disabled until the next boot.
49 This option is similar to the selinux=0 boot parameter, but is to
50 support runtime disabling of SELinux, e.g. from /sbin/init, for
51 portability across platforms where boot parameters are difficult
54 NOTE: selecting this option will disable the '__ro_after_init'
55 kernel hardening feature for security hooks. Please consider
56 using the selinux=0 boot parameter instead of enabling this
59 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
61 config SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP
62 bool "NSA SELinux Development Support"
63 depends on SECURITY_SELINUX
66 This enables the development support option of NSA SELinux,
67 which is useful for experimenting with SELinux and developing
68 policies. If unsure, say Y. With this option enabled, the
69 kernel will start in permissive mode (log everything, deny nothing)
70 unless you specify enforcing=1 on the kernel command line. You
71 can interactively toggle the kernel between enforcing mode and
72 permissive mode (if permitted by the policy) via /selinux/enforce.
74 config SECURITY_SELINUX_AVC_STATS
75 bool "NSA SELinux AVC Statistics"
76 depends on SECURITY_SELINUX
79 This option collects access vector cache statistics to
80 /selinux/avc/cache_stats, which may be monitored via
81 tools such as avcstat.
83 config SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE
84 int "NSA SELinux checkreqprot default value"
85 depends on SECURITY_SELINUX
89 This option sets the default value for the 'checkreqprot' flag
90 that determines whether SELinux checks the protection requested
91 by the application or the protection that will be applied by the
92 kernel (including any implied execute for read-implies-exec) for
93 mmap and mprotect calls. If this option is set to 0 (zero),
94 SELinux will default to checking the protection that will be applied
95 by the kernel. If this option is set to 1 (one), SELinux will
96 default to checking the protection requested by the application.
97 The checkreqprot flag may be changed from the default via the
98 'checkreqprot=' boot parameter. It may also be changed at runtime
99 via /selinux/checkreqprot if authorized by policy.
