[ Upstream commit 8b0ba61df5a1c44e2b3cf683831a4fc5e24ea99d ]
The vfs has long had a fallback to obtain the security.* xattrs from the LSM when the filesystem does not implement its own listxattr, but shmem/tmpfs and kernfs later gained their own xattr handlers to support other xattrs. Unfortunately, as a side effect, tmpfs and kernfs-based filesystems like sysfs no longer return the synthetic security.* xattr names via listxattr unless they are explicitly set by userspace or initially set upon inode creation after policy load. coreutils has recently switched from unconditionally invoking getxattr for security.* for ls -Z via libselinux to only doing so if listxattr returns the xattr name, breaking ls -Z of such inodes.
Before: $ getfattr -m.* /run/initramfs <no output> $ getfattr -m.* /sys/kernel/fscaps <no output> $ setfattr -n user.foo /run/initramfs $ getfattr -m.* /run/initramfs user.foo
After: $ getfattr -m.* /run/initramfs security.selinux $ getfattr -m.* /sys/kernel/fscaps security.selinux $ setfattr -n user.foo /run/initramfs $ getfattr -m.* /run/initramfs security.selinux user.foo
