Tom Lane	18555b1323	Establish conventions about global object names used in regression tests. ... To ensure that "make installcheck" can be used safely against an existing installation, we need to be careful about what global object names (database, role, and tablespace names) we use; otherwise we might accidentally clobber important objects. There's been a weak consensus that test databases should have names including "regression", and that test role names should start with "regress_", but we didn't have any particular rule about tablespace names; and neither of the other rules was followed with any consistency either. This commit moves us a long way towards having a hard-and-fast rule that regression test databases must have names including "regression", and that test role and tablespace names must start with "regress_". It's not completely there because I did not touch some test cases in rolenames.sql that test creation of special role names like "session_user". That will require some rethinking of exactly what we want to test, whereas the intent of this patch is just to hit all the cases in which the needed renamings are cosmetic. There is no enforcement mechanism in this patch either, but if we don't add one we can expect that the tests will soon be violating the convention again. Again, that's not such a cosmetic change and it will require discussion. (But I did use a quick-hack enforcement patch to find these cases.) Discussion: <16638.1468620817@sss.pgh.pa.us>	10 years ago
Joe Conway	794e2558be	Fix sepgsql regression tests. ... The regression tests for sepgsql were broken by changes in the base distro as-shipped policies. Specifically, definition of unconfined_t in the system default policy was changed to bypass multi-category rules, which the regression test depended on. Fix that by defining a custom privileged domain (sepgsql_regtest_superuser_t) and using it instead of system's unconfined_t domain. The new sepgsql_regtest_superuser_t domain performs almost like the current unconfined_t, but restricted by multi-category policy as the traditional unconfined_t was. The custom policy module is a self defined domain, and so should not be affected by related future system policy changes. However, it still uses the unconfined_u:unconfined_r pair for selinux-user and role. Those definitions have not been changed for several years and seem less risky to rely on than the unconfined_t domain. Additionally, if we define custom user/role, they would need to be manually defined at the operating system level, adding more complexity to an already non-standard and complex regression test. Back-patch to 9.3. The regression tests will need more work before working correctly on 9.2. Starting with 9.2, sepgsql has had dependencies on libselinux versions that are only available on newer distros with the changed set of policies (e.g. RHEL 7.x). On 9.1 sepgsql works fine with the older distros with original policy set (e.g. RHEL 6.x), and on which the existing regression tests work fine. We might want eventually change 9.1 sepgsql regression tests to be more independent from the underlying OS policies, however more work will be needed to make that happen and it is not clear that it is worth the effort.
