This patch enables to export the code/name pairs of capabilities under
/capability of securityfs.
In the current libcap, it obtains the list of capabilities from header file
on the build environment statically. However, it is not enough portable
between different versions of kernels, because an already built libcap
cannot have knowledge about new added capabilities.
Dynamic collection of code/name pairs of capabilities will resolve this
matter.
But it is not perfect one. I have a bit concern about this patch now.
1. I want to generate cap_entries array from linux/capability.h
automatically. Is there any good idea?
2. We have to mount securityfs explicitly, or using /etc/fstab.
It can make a matter when we want to use this features
in very early boot sequence.
Any comment please.
usage:
-----------------------------------------------
# mount -t securityfs none /sys/kernel/security
# cd /sys/kernel/security/capability
# ls
cap_audit_control cap_kill cap_setpcap cap_sys_rawio
cap_audit_write cap_lease cap_setuid cap_sys_resource
cap_chown cap_linux_immutable cap_sys_admin cap_sys_time
cap_dac_override cap_mknod cap_sys_boot cap_sys_tty_config
cap_dac_read_search cap_net_admin cap_sys_chroot index
cap_fowner cap_net_bind_service cap_sys_module version
cap_fsetid cap_net_broadcast cap_sys_nice
cap_ipc_lock cap_setfcap cap_sys_pacct
cap_ipc_owner cap_setgid cap_sys_ptrace
# cat cap_audit_write ; echo

# cat cap_sys_chroot ; echo
