Normally libvirtd should run with a SELinux label
system_u:system_r:virtd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
If a user manually runs libvirtd though, it is sometimes
possible to get into a situation where it is running
system_u:system_r:init_t:s0
The SELinux security driver isn't expecting this and can't
parse the security label since it lacks the ':c0.c1023' part
causing it to complain
internal error Cannot parse sensitivity level in s0
This updates the parser to cope with this, so if no category
is present, libvirtd will hardcode the equivalent of c0.c1023.
Now this won't work if SELinux is in Enforcing mode, but that's
not an issue, because the user can only get into this problem
if in Permissive mode. This means they can now start VMs in
Permissive mode without hitting that parsing error

Conflicts:
src/security/security_selinux.c
If securityselinuxtest was run on a system with newer SELinux
policy it would fail, due to using svirt_tcg_t instead of
svirt_t. Fixing the domain type to be KVM avoids this issue.
(cherry picked from commit 32df483f1d)
We are currently able to work only with non-translated SELinux
contexts, but we are using functions that work with translated
contexts throughout the code. This patch swaps all SELinux context
translation relative calls with their raw sisters to avoid parsing
problems.
The problems can be experienced with mcstrans for example. The
difference is that if you have translations enabled (yum install
mcstrans; service mcstrans start), fgetfilecon_raw() will get you
something like 'system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:s0', whereas
fgetfilecon() will return 'system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:SystemLow'
that we cannot parse.
I was trying to confirm that the _raw variants were here since the dawn of
time, but the only thing I see now is that it was imported together in
the upstream repo [1] from svn, so before 2008.
Thanks Laurent Bigonville for finding this out.

This test case validates the correct generation of SELinux labels
for VMs, wrt the current process label. Since we can't actually
change the label of the test program process, we create a shared
library libsecurityselinuxhelper.so which overrides the getcon()
and setcon() libselinux.so functions. When started the test case
will check to see if LD_PRELOAD is set, and if not, it will
re-exec() itself setting LD_PRELOAD=libsecurityselinuxhelper.so
