/*
 * The selinux_status_page shall be exposed to userspace applications
 * using mmap interface on /selinux/status.
 * It enables to notify applications a few events that will cause reset
 * of userspace access vector without context switching.
 *
 * The selinux_kernel_status structure on the head of status page is
 * protected from concurrent accesses using seqlock logic, so userspace
 * application should reference the status page according to the seqlock
 * logic.
 *
 * Typically, application checks status->sequence at the head of access
 * control routine. If it is odd-number, kernel is updating the status,
 * so please wait for a moment. If it is changed from the last sequence
 * number, it means something happen, so application will reset userspace
 * avc, if needed.
 * In most cases, application shall confirm the kernel status is not
 * changed without any system call invocations.
