Policy broken since kernel 5

Asked by Michael

Dear Maintainer,

I have tried to run SELinux on server/desktop from version 18 to 19 and it seems like everything from kernel 5 and above and it looks like the Policy is broken. we can see that PID 1 is unlabeled (when running in permissive and checking in journalctl)
the first two denies are:
avc: denied { compute_create } for pid=1 comm="systemd" scontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:security_t:s0 tclass=security permissive=1

avc: denied { setcurrent } for pid=1 comm="systemd" scontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=process permissive=1

avc: denied { use } for pid=1 comm="systemd" path="/etc/selinux/default/contexts/files/file_contexts.bin" dev="dm-0" ino=129737 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=fd permissive=1

avc: denied { getcap } for pid=1 comm="systemd" scontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tclass=process permissive=1

avc: denied { module_load } for pid=1 comm="systemd" path="/usr/lib/modules/5.0.0-25-generic/kernel/fs/autofs/autofs4.ko" dev="dm-0" ino=397719 scontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:modules_object_t:s0 tclass=system permissive=1

The installation was:
1. purge apparmor
2. install selinux-basics (also tried with the package selinux)
3. relabel the system
4. reboot
5. setenforce 1
and the system hangs.
It must be that i am doing something wrong since nobody else is complaining about this.

i would greatly appreciate any input.
Thanks,
Michael

Thank you for answering!
So this means that Ubuntu does not support SELinux in anyway since kernel 5?

Thanks again,
Michael

If you look at the document linked in comment #1 of bug #1805350 https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/483246/selinux-demands-constant-relabeling you will see "Ubuntu does not fully support selinux policy".
You should also read the warning at the top of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SELinux
And another link about that problem: https://askubuntu.com/q/1090842
