With some delay (busy days at work), the XDG module with the feedback from
Dominick integrated. Changes since v2 include
- Rename of interfaces to be more in lign with naming conventions
- Use of userdom_search_... instead of userdom_list_...
- Add the lnk_file and fifo_file classes in the xdg_manage_* interfaces
- Drop the xdg_admin interface
- Add a few TODOs that need to be written when named file transitions are
supported (didn't want to include it as comments since M4 doesn't like
that)

The XDG Base Directory specification is an open specification for
dealing with user data in a desktop environment. It is published on
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html
and in use by many applications.
In this patch, we introduce the xdg-specific types and give the standard
interfaces for dealing with these types. We also provide a typeattribute
for each of the xdg-specific locations, allowing applications that
create files therein to mark these files as the appropriate xdg type.

Now that named file transitions are supported [1], I'd like to add a rule that,
when a one of the following directories is created, that directory is
immediately labeled appropriately:
- ~/.cache -> xdg_cache_home_t
- ~/.config -> xdg_config_home_t
- ~/.local -> xdg_data_home_t
To do so, I thought about doing this in the following steps:
(1.) Enhance userdom_user_home_dir_filetrans with a fourth argument
(filename) and use that in its filetrans_pattern() call
(2.) Enhance xdg.if with the xdg_*_home_filetrans statements that accomplish
something like
userdom_user_home_dir_filetrans($1, xdg_cache_home_t, dir, ".cache")
for the xdg_cache_home_filetrans (others very related)
(3.) Enhance application.te with optional calls like
"xdg_cache_home_filetrans(application_domain_type)"
Is this a proper way to handle the above? Is application_domain_type the
right level?

These two are fine. I've attached my working patch for interfaces with optional parameters to support name filetrans. I'm trying to decide (with CIL in mind) if we really want interfaces with optional parameters.

I would say no. The application module is for all applications, not just X ones. Possibly in the xserver_user_x_domain_template() it would make more sense.

As opposed to different interface names? Like using a _named_filetrans:
userdom_user_home_dir_filetrans versus
userdom_user_home_dir_named_filetrans (just a hypothetical example) ?
I'm okay with either. If you were to allow optional parameters, you probably
will end up with at most one optional parameter (if you have two, how would
you allow having the second one set but not the first).

Yes.

I don't have a compelling argument either way. I suspect that if we did go the optional parameter route, the refpolicy->CIL compiler would have to convert optional parameter interfaces into to two CIL macros with different names anyway.

Got your mind settled yet?
I noticed that the filetrans_pattern() definition supports the fifth
argument (as an optional parameter). Is it okay if we apply your patch
(except for the filetrans_pattern() part) and continue from there?

Yes. I merged it.
