NAME

6       cpucontrol_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the cpucontrol
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the cpucontrol processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  cpucontrol  processes  execute with the cpucontrol_t SELinux type.
14       You can check if you have these processes running by executing  the  ps
15       command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep cpucontrol_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  cpucontrol_t SELinux type can be entered via the cpucontrol_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the cpucontrol_t domain are  the  fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /sbin/microcode_ctl,                           /usr/sbin/microcode_ctl,
31       /usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/reload_microcode
32

PROCESS TYPES

34       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35       system
36
37       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39       Policy  governs  the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
40       cpucontrol policy is very flexible allowing users to setup  their  cpu‐
41       control processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43       The following process types are defined for cpucontrol:
44
45       cpucontrol_t
46
47       Note:  semanage  permissive  -a  cpucontrol_t  can  be used to make the
48       process type cpucontrol_t permissive. SELinux does not deny  access  to
49       permissive  process  types,  but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
50       still generated.
51
52

BOOLEANS

54       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.  cpucon‐
55       trol  policy  is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
56       you to manipulate the policy  and  run  cpucontrol  with  the  tightest
57       access possible.
58
59
60
61       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
62       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
63
64       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
65
66
67
68       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
69       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
70
71       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
72

74

MANAGED FILES

76       The SELinux process type cpucontrol_t can manage files labeled with the
77       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
78       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
79
80       sysfs_t
81
82            /sys(/.*)?
83
84

FILE CONTEXTS

86       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
87       type.
88
89       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
90
91       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
92       SELinux  cpucontrol  policy  is  very  flexible allowing users to setup
93       their cpucontrol processes in as secure a method as possible.
94
95       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
96
97       SELinux defines the file context  types  for  the  cpucontrol,  if  you
98       wanted  to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
99       execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate  labeling  and  then
100       use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
101
102       semanage   fcontext  -a  -t  cpucontrol_conf_t  '/srv/mycpucontrol_con‐
103       tent(/.*)?'
104       restorecon -R -v /srv/mycpucontrol_content
105
106       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
107       match multiple files.
108
109       The following file types are defined for cpucontrol:
110
111
112
113       cpucontrol_conf_t
114
115       -  Set  files with the cpucontrol_conf_t type, if you want to treat the
116       files as cpucontrol configuration data, usually stored under  the  /etc
117       directory.
118
119
120
121       cpucontrol_exec_t
122
123       -  Set files with the cpucontrol_exec_t type, if you want to transition
124       an executable to the cpucontrol_t domain.
125
126
127       Paths:
128            /sbin/microcode_ctl,                      /usr/sbin/microcode_ctl,
129            /usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/reload_microcode
130
131
132       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
133       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
134       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
135       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
136
137

COMMANDS

139       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
140       mappings.
141
142       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
143       process type is permissive.
144
145       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
146       icy modules.
147
148       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
149
150
151       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
152       icy settings.
