Per the documentation, is_selinux_enabled() returns -1 on error.
Account for this. Previously when -1 was being returned the condition
would still be true. I was noticing this because on my system that has
selinux disabled I was getting this in the libvirt.log every 5
seconds:
error : virIdentityGetSystem:173 : Unable to lookup SELinux process context: Invalid argument
With this patch applied, I no longer get these messages every 5
seconds. I am submitting this in case its deemed useful for inclusion.
Anyone have any comments on this change? This is a patch off current
master.

Any source file which calls the logging APIs now needs
to have a VIR_LOG_INIT("source.name") declaration at
the start of the file. This provides a static variable
of the virLogSource type.

If SELinux is compiled into libvirt but it is disabled on the host,
libvirtd logs:
error : virIdentityGetSystem:173 : Unable to lookup SELinux process
context: Invalid argument
on each and every client connection.
Use is_selinux_enabled() to skip retrieval of the process's SELinux
context if SELinux is disabled.

Most of the usage of getuid()/getgid() is in cases where we are
considering what privileges we have. As such the code should be
using the effective IDs, not real IDs.

The polkit access driver will want to use the process start
time field. This was already set for network identities, but
not for the system identity.

Future improvements to the polkit code will require access to
the numeric user ID, not merely user name.

There are various methods named "virXXXXSecurityContext",
which are specific to SELinux. Rename them all to
"virXXXXSELinuxContext". They will still raise errors at
runtime if SELinux is not compiled in

Some code mistakenly called virIdentityOnceInit directly
instead of virIdentityInitialize(). This meant that one-time
initializer was run many times with predictably bad results.
The virNetSocket & virIdentity classes accidentally got some
conditionals using HAVE_SELINUX instead of WITH_SELINUX.

If no user identity is available, some operations may wish to
use the system identity. ie the identity of the current process
itself. Add an API to get such an identity.

To allow any internal API to get the current identity, add APIs
to associate a virIdentityPtr with the current thread, via a

Introduce a local object virIdentity for managing security
attributes used to form a client application's identity.
Instances of this object are intended to be used as if they
