[PATCH] libsemanage: set selinux policy root around calls to selinux_boolean_sub

[Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov>]

As reported in #109, semodule -p /path/to/policyroot -s minimum -n -B
tries to use /etc/selinux/targeted/booleans.subs_dist.  This is because
it invokes the libselinux selinux_boolean_sub() interface, which uses
the active/installed policy files rather than the libsemanage ones.

Switch the selinux policy root around the selinux_boolean_sub() call
to incorporate the semanage root as a prefix and to use the specified
policy store as a suffix so that the correct booleans.subs_dist file
(if any) is used.

The underlying bug is that booleans.subs_dist is not itself managed
via libsemanage. If it was managed and therefore lived within the
policy store, then libsemanage could access the appropriate
booleans.subs_dist file without using the libselinux interface at all,
and thus would not need to modify the selinux policy root.  Moving
booleans.subs_dist to a managed file is deferred to a future change.

Test:
strace semodule -p ~/policy-root -s minimum -n -B

Before:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/selinux/targeted/booleans.subs_dist", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 5

After:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/sds/policy-root/etc/selinux/minimum/booleans.subs_dist", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 5
