hrmmm, I prefer these symbols to be only available to the unpack code but can
live with them being more widely available.

So this is a problem. If this symbols are going to be visible outside of the
unpack code they need to be prefixed with aa_ to help avoid collisions with
other kernel code.


Hmm... I agree we need some sort of way of restricting access to these symbols.

As-is, they're _exported_ to a different symbol namespace, so it

if by exported you mean static. This particular set of symbols is not
exported in a header and each function is static. They are accessible
to the kunit tests because of some what gross

#ifdef CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR_KUNIT_TEST
#include "policy_unpack_test.c"
#endif /* CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR_KUNIT_TEST */

at the end of the file. And of course this means these tests can't be
built as a module

shouldn't be a problem during linking when built as a module, nor if
KUnit is disabled (due to the preprocessor step).

right

One option is to put these in a separate header (that only the test
and policy-unpack code include), but even that doesn't solve the
linking problem when built-in.

a separate header might be as a pseudo documentation step but the
reality is that I can't see anyone else including the existing header
so its not really required.

So I guess namespacing is the only option which solves all of these
problems. (It'd be nice if the symbol namespacing system worked for
built-ins as well as modules...)

yeah

Again if the symbols are going to be exported they need the aa_ prefix

But I am not sure this is worth doing, exporting a lot of symbols just so the
test code can be built as a module doesn't seem worth it to me.


Again, agreed that we need to namespace these for the non-module case
(the symbol namespacing should be okay otherwise).

One of the reasons behind doing this is that there are a few KUnit
users who can only run tests which are built as modules. In
particular, Android and (IIRC) Red Hat are both configuring all of
their kernels with KUnit built as a module, and distributing the KUnit
and KUnit test modules in a different package.

ah, okay

If we kept things the way there are, then it'd not be possible to
unconditionally _build_ the apparmor tests, but only load and run them
on demand (due to the way they're built into the apparmor module,
they'd always run when it loads). This is a no-go for Android/Red Hat,
so they won't ship or run the apparmor tests. (There are some other
tests with the same problem, notably amdgpu, but apparmor seemed a
nice first trial-user, as it were, having a small but non-trivial
number of symbols to export.)

Thoughts?

I'm not opposed to exporting them. It has a cost and I wanted there to
be a real need before doing it. Since that need has been explained, my
only requirement is to make sure they are properly namespaced.
