[PATCH] secilc/docs: document expandtypeattribute

This was added for Androids Treble in 2017.

I was unsure whether this belongs in type_statements or in conditional_statements.

I think that it fits best with the type statements as you have it.

The wording confused me at first.
I think "Overrides the compiler defaults for the expansion of one ...
identifiers." would be clearer.

It would be nice to have another example that shows a list of type
attributes, so there is an example of that syntax as well.

Thanks for doing this.

I was looking into an example but turns out that either i am
misunderstanding this functionality or that it does not work as advertised:

Example:

1. compiler defaults to expand typeattributes with less
than four members
2. override pets and dogs expansion in policy

# cat > mytest.cil <<EOF
(sid mysid)
(sidorder (mysid))

(class myclass (mypermission))
(classorder (unordered myclass))

(type blue)
(type green)
(type red)
(typeattribute colors)
(typeattributeset colors (blue green red))

(type dog)
(type cat)
(type goldfish)
(typeattribute pets)
(typeattributeset pets (dog cat goldfish))

(dontaudit pets colors (myclass (mypermission)))

(expandtypeattribute (colors pets) false)
EOF

# secilc -v -X 4 mytest.cil
# sesearch policy.32 --dontaudit

The key is that expandtypeattribute works differently for the default
behavior than when you ask for attributes to be expanded.

The default rules for removing attributes are complex. In general,
attributes automatically created when converting a binary module to
CIL; attributes that are not used in allow and dontaudit rules; and
attributes that have only one type assigned are all removed. This
means that the attribute rule and the typeattributeset rules for the
attribute are removed and all rules using the attribute are expanded.
Using expandtypeattribute in this case will keep the attribute
declaration, the typeattributeset rules, and any allow rules.

When you use "-X SIZE" all allow rules with attributes that contain
less than SIZE types will be expanded and the attribute removed. Using
expandtypeattribute in this case will cause the attribute declaration
and the typeattributeset rules to be retained, but the allow rules
will still be expanded.

I just verified that everything does work like that.

It is a bit of a mess, but it is working as intended.

I probably need to document how the default expansion works. ;)

Jim

So that makes the "false" scenario practically irrelevant? when would
one ever use "false" instead of "true"?

That is actually the most valuable option. It is the way to ensure
that an attribute definition is not removed. It is being used, for
example, by Google to keep attributes that are used in the neverallow
rules in their compatibility test suite from being expanded.

+expandtypeattribute
+-------------------
+
+Overrides the compiler defaults for the expansion of one or more previously declared [`typeattribute`](cil_type_statements.md#typeattribute) identifiers.
+
+Note that this statement can be overridden at compile-time with `secilc -X SIZE` and that this functionality is not intended to override `secilc -X SIZE` for individual type attributes!
+
+**Statement definition:**
+
+    (expandtypeattribute typeattribute_id true|false)
+
+**Where:**
+
+<table>
+<colgroup>
+<col width="25%" />
+<col width="75%" />
+</colgroup>
+<tbody>
+<tr class="odd">
+<td align="left"><p><code>expandtypeattribute</code></p></td>

+<td align="left"><p>Either true or false.</p></td>

+
+**Examples:**
+
+This example uses the expandtypeattribute statement to forcibly expand a previously declared `domain` type attribute.
+
+    (expandtypeattribute domain true)
+
+This example uses the expandtypeattribute statement to not expand previously declared `file_type` and `port_type` type attributes regardless of compiler defaults.

I didn't mention the "-X" option in my reply to the selinux notebook patch.

This is like what I mentioned in the selinux notebook, but mentions
the "-X" option.

Gives more control over type attribute expansion and removal. When the
value is true, all rules involving the type attribute will be expanded
and the type attribute will be removed from the policy. When the value
is false, the type attribute will not be removed from the policy, even
if the default expand rules or "-X" option cause the rules involving
the type attribute to be expanded.

Thanks,
Jim

Yes but I cannot produce that. In my earlier test the type attribute
was expanded regardless of the -X option.

In my test I instructed secilc to expand all attributes with more than 3
members (-X 4), then I added a expandtypeattribute statement telling
secilc to not expand pets and colors.

The result was that it expanded pets and colors anyway.

I see the source of your confusion now. "-X 4" means that all
attributes with LESS than 4 types associated with it will be expanded.

I think its important to clarify this in the documentation. ie:
expandattribute false will not work if you use -X (-X will override the
false statement)

I think that is unintuitive, I would actually want to be able to for
example expand all attributes with less then 4 members except a few
specific ones.

It is poorly named at this point. I think it was a victim of multiple
changes over time. A better name now would be removeattribute. That
would be more accurate, because what is really being controlled is
whether the attribute is kept as defined in the policy or not.

I am not sure what advantage there would be to expanding and removing
all except a few selected attributes with less than 4 members, except
for the case when you needed those selected attributes to remain
defined in the policy.  Not much space is going to be saved by not
expanding them. Ok, I guess the advantage would be that the name of
the rule would make more sense. I will grant that.

At any rate, the name stinks, but the functionality is exactly what is
needed. I can trade a large policy for quicker access checks by using
the "-X SIZE" option and I can retain the definitions of the
attributes that need to be defined using expandattribute false.

This whole discussion is why keeping the selinux-notebook in sync with
language changes will be very valuable practice.

I agree and that is why I added the "Note", so that readers have some
reference when they figure out that they cannot override -X for
specified attributes.

If you still do not like this v4 patch then tell me (again) what you
want in there and I will put it in there without argueing so that we can
wrap this up.

I would like this:

Overrides the compiler defaults for the expansion of one or more
previously declared
[`typeattribute`](cil_type_statements.md#typeattribute) identifiers.

This rule gives more control over type attribute expansion and
removal. When the value is true, all rules involving the type
attribute will be expanded and the type attribute will be removed from
the policy. When the value is false, the type attribute will not be
removed from the policy, even if the default expand rules or "-X"
option cause the rules involving the type attribute to be expanded.

Jim
