[PATCH v2 5/9] selinux: services: update type for number of class permissions

From: Christian Göttsche
Date: Fri Jul 28 2023 - 11:55:52 EST


Security classes have only up to 32 permissions, hence using an u16 is
sufficient (while improving padding in struct selinux_mapping).

Also use a fixed sized cast in a bit shift to avoid (well defined)
overflows on architectures where sizeof(unsigned int) != sizeof(u32)
resulting in no bits set.

v2:
update commit description:
- mention struct selinux_mapping in the padding argument
(currently between the first and second member there are 2 bytes
padding)
- mention overflow in the cast argument and the result of setting
no bits due to it
