Stephen Smalley e67b79850f selinux: stop passing selinux_state pointers and their offspring
Linus observed that the pervasive passing of selinux_state pointers
introduced by me in commit aa8e712cee ("selinux: wrap global selinux
state") adds overhead and complexity without providing any
benefit. The original idea was to pave the way for SELinux namespaces
but those have not yet been implemented and there isn't currently
a concrete plan to do so. Remove the passing of the selinux_state
pointers, reverting to direct use of the single global selinux_state,
and likewise remove passing of child pointers like the selinux_avc.
The selinux_policy pointer remains as it is needed for atomic switching
of policies.

Paul Moore 0e326df069 selinux: various sparse fixes
When running the SELinux code through sparse, there are a handful of
warnings.  This patch resolves some of these warnings caused by
"__rcu" mismatches.

Chen Zhou c350f8bea2 selinux: Fix error return code in sel_ib_pkey_sid_slow()
Fix to return a negative error code from the error handling case
instead of 0 in function sel_ib_pkey_sid_slow(), as done elsewhere
in this function.

Stephen Smalley 6c5a682e64 selinux: clean up selinux_enabled/disabled/enforcing_boot
Rename selinux_enabled to selinux_enabled_boot to make it clear that
it only reflects whether SELinux was enabled at boot.  Replace the
references to it in the MAC_STATUS audit log in sel_write_enforce()
with hardcoded "1" values because this code is only reachable if SELinux
is enabled and does not change its value, and update the corresponding
MAC_STATUS audit log in sel_write_disable().  Stop clearing
selinux_enabled in selinux_disable() since it is not used outside of
initialization code that runs before selinux_disable() can be reached.
Mark both selinux_enabled_boot and selinux_enforcing_boot as __initdata
since they are only used in initialization code.

Wrap the disabled field in the struct selinux_state with
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE since it is only used for
runtime disable.

Stephen Smalley aa8e712cee selinux: wrap global selinux state
Define a selinux state structure (struct selinux_state) for
global SELinux state and pass it explicitly to all security server
functions.  The public portion of the structure contains state
that is used throughout the SELinux code, such as the enforcing mode.
The structure also contains a pointer to a selinux_ss structure whose
definition is private to the security server and contains security
server specific state such as the policy database and SID table.

This change should have no effect on SELinux behavior or APIs
(userspace or LSM).  It merely wraps SELinux state and passes it
explicitly as needed.

Daniel Jurgens 409dcf3153 selinux: Add a cache for quicker retreival of PKey SIDs
It is likely that the SID for the same PKey will be requested many
times. To reduce the time to modify QPs and process MADs use a cache to
store PKey SIDs.

This code is heavily based on the "netif" and "netport" concept
originally developed by James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> and Paul Moore
<paul@paul-moore.com> (see security/selinux/netif.c and
security/selinux/netport.c for more information)
