The LSM (Linux security mechanism) list is the successor of the now legacy *major LSM*. Instead of defining a single security mechanism the LSM symbol is a comma separated list of mechanisms to load. Until recently OpenWrt would only support DAC (Unix discretionary access controls) which don't require an additional entry in the LSM list. With the newly introduced SELinux support the LSM needs to be extended else only a manual modified Kernel cmdline (`security=selinux`) would activate SELinux. As the default OpenWrt Kernel config sets DAC as default security mechanism, SELinux is stripped from the LSM list, even if `KERNEL_DEFAULT_SECURITY_SELINUX` is activated. To allow SELinux without a modified cmdline this commit sets a specific LSM list if `KERNEL_SECURITY_SELINUX` is enabled. The upstream Kconfig adds even more mechanisms (smack,selinux,tomoyo,apparmor), but until they're ported to OpenWrt, these can be ignored. To compile SELinux Kernel support but disable it from loading, the already present options `KERNEL_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE` or `KERNEL_SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM` (with custom cmdline `selinux=0`) can be used. Further it's possible to edit `/etc/selinux/config`. Signed-off-by: Paul Spooren <mail@aparcar.org> |

README.md
OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.
Sunshine!
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
gcc binutils bzip2 flex python3 perl make find grep diff unzip gawk getopt
subversion libz-dev libc-dev
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -a
to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -a
to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfig
to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
make
to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.
Related Repositories
The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of
different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package
manager called opkg
. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port
packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.
