Subject: [PATCH] selinux: don't log SELINUX_INFO and SELINUX_WARNING messages
c62b8e
 to audit
c62b8e
c62b8e
Previously we logged even info message from libselinux as USER_AVC's to
c62b8e
audit. For example, setting SELinux to permissive mode generated
c62b8e
following audit message,
c62b8e
c62b8e
time->Tue Feb 26 11:29:29 2019
c62b8e
type=USER_AVC msg=audit(1551198569.423:334): pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 msg='avc:  received setenforce notice (enforcing=0)  exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" sauid=0 hostname=? addr=? terminal=?'

c62b8e
This is unnecessary and wrong at the same time. First, kernel already
c62b8e
records audit event that SELinux was switched to permissive mode, also
c62b8e
the type of the message really shouldn't be USER_AVC.
c62b8e
c62b8e
Let's ignore SELINUX_WARNING and SELINUX_INFO and forward to audit only
c62b8e
USER_AVC's and errors as these two libselinux message types have clear
c62b8e
mapping to audit message types.
