.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
||
|
|
The userspace AVC maintains two internal hash tables, one to store security ID's and one to cache access decisions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.B avc_av_stats
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.B avc_sid_stats
|
||
|
|
produce log messages indicating the status of the access decision and SID tables, respectively. The messages contain the number of entries in the table, number of hash buckets and number of buckets used, and maximum number of entries in a single bucket.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.B avc_cache_stats
|
||
|
|
populates a structure whose fields reflect cache activity:

.SH "NOTES"
|
||
|
|
When the cache is flushed as a result of a call to
|
||
|
|
.B avc_reset
|
||
|
|
or a policy change notification,
|
||
|
|
the statistics returned by
|
||
|
|
.B avc_cache_stats
|
||
|
|
are reset to zero. The SID table, however, is left
|
||
|
|
unchanged.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When a policy change notification is received, a call to
|
||
|
|
.B avc_av_stats
|
||
|
|
is made before the cache is flushed.
