[PATCH] Exporting capability code/name pairs

[KaiGai Kohei]

This patch enables to export the code/name pairs of capabilities under
/capability of securityfs.

In the current libcap, it obtains the list of capabilities from header file
on the build environment statically. However, it is not enough portable
between different versions of kernels, because an already built libcap
cannot have knowledge about new added capabilities.

Dynamic collection of code/name pairs of capabilities will resolve this
matter.

But it is not perfect one. I have a bit concern about this patch now.

1. I want to generate cap_entries array from linux/capability.h
   automatically. Is there any good idea?
2. We have to mount securityfs explicitly, or using /etc/fstab.
   It can make a matter when we want to use this features
   in very early boot sequence.

Any comment please.

usage:
-----------------------------------------------
# mount -t securityfs none /sys/kernel/security
# cd /sys/kernel/security/capability
# ls
cap_audit_control    cap_kill              cap_setpcap     cap_sys_rawio
cap_audit_write      cap_lease             cap_setuid      cap_sys_resource
cap_chown            cap_linux_immutable   cap_sys_admin   cap_sys_time
cap_dac_override     cap_mknod             cap_sys_boot    cap_sys_tty_config
cap_dac_read_search  cap_net_admin         cap_sys_chroot  index
cap_fowner           cap_net_bind_service  cap_sys_module  version
cap_fsetid           cap_net_broadcast     cap_sys_nice
cap_ipc_lock         cap_setfcap           cap_sys_pacct
cap_ipc_owner        cap_setgid            cap_sys_ptrace
# cat cap_audit_write ; echo
29
# cat cap_sys_chroot ; echo
18
# cat version ; echo
0x19980330
# cat index; echo
31
