-What: /sys/fs/selinux/disable
-Date: April 2005 (predates git)
-KernelVersion: 2.6.12-rc2 (predates git)
-Contact: selinux@vger.kernel.org
-Description:
-
- The selinuxfs "disable" node allows SELinux to be disabled at runtime
- prior to a policy being loaded into the kernel. If disabled via this
- mechanism, SELinux will remain disabled until the system is rebooted.
-
- The preferred method of disabling SELinux is via the "selinux=0" boot
- parameter, but the selinuxfs "disable" node was created to make it
- easier for systems with primitive bootloaders that did not allow for
- easy modification of the kernel command line. Unfortunately, allowing
- for SELinux to be disabled at runtime makes it difficult to secure the
- kernel's LSM hooks using the "__ro_after_init" feature.
-
- Thankfully, the need for the SELinux runtime disable appears to be
- gone, the default Kconfig configuration disables this selinuxfs node,
- and only one of the major distributions, Fedora, supports disabling
- SELinux at runtime. Fedora is in the process of removing the
- selinuxfs "disable" node and once that is complete we will start the
- slow process of removing this code from the kernel.

- CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE Kconfig option.

- This option enables writing to a selinuxfs node 'disable', which
- allows SELinux to be disabled at runtime prior to the policy load.
- SELinux will then remain disabled until the next boot.
- This option is similar to the selinux=0 boot parameter, but is to
- support runtime disabling of SELinux, e.g. from /sbin/init, for
- portability across platforms where boot parameters are difficult
- to employ.
-
- NOTE: selecting this option will disable the '__ro_after_init'
- kernel hardening feature for security hooks. Please consider
- using the selinux=0 boot parameter instead of enabling this
- option.
-
- WARNING: this option is deprecated and will be removed in a future
- kernel release.
