Smack: Updates for Smack documentation

Document the Smack bringup features. Update the proper location for
mounting smackfs from /smack to /sys/fs/smackfs. Fix some spelling errors.
Suggest the use of the load2 interface instead of the load interface.

 team. Smack labels are unstructured, case sensitive, and the only operation

 Spaces are not allowed in labels. Since a subject always has access to files
 with the same label specifying a rule for that case is pointless. Only

 Solaris system, but there are other, less widely deployed systems out there.
 CIPSO provides 3 important values, a Domain Of Interpretation (DOI), a level,
 and a category set with each packet. The DOI is intended to identify a group
 of systems that use compatible labeling schemes, and the DOI specified on the
-smack system must match that of the remote system or packets will be
-discarded. The DOI is 3 by default. The value can be read from /smack/doi and

 The mapping of Smack labels to CIPSO values is defined by writing to

 In addition to explicit mappings Smack supports direct CIPSO mappings. One
 CIPSO level is used to indicate that the category set passed in the packet is
 in fact an encoding of the Smack label. The level used is 250 by default. The

 Smack Netlabel Exceptions
 
 You will often find that your labeled application has to talk to the outside,
-unlabeled world. To do this there's a special file /smack/netlabel where you can
-add some exceptions in the form of :
+unlabeled world. To do this there's a special file /sys/fs/smackfs/netlabel
+where you can add some exceptions in the form of :
 @IP1	   LABEL1 or
 @IP2/MASK  LABEL2
 
···
 write access on LABEL1, and access to the subnet @IP2/MASK if it has write
 access on LABEL2.
 
-Entries in the /smack/netlabel file are matched by longest mask first, like in
-classless IPv4 routing.
+Entries in the /sys/fs/smackfs/netlabel file are matched by longest mask
+first, like in classless IPv4 routing.
 
 A special label '@' and an option '-CIPSO' can be used there :
 @      means Internet, any application with any label has access to it
 -CIPSO means standard CIPSO networking
 
 If you don't know what CIPSO is and don't plan to use it, you can just do :
-echo 127.0.0.1 -CIPSO > /smack/netlabel
-echo 0.0.0.0/0 @      > /smack/netlabel
+echo 127.0.0.1 -CIPSO > /sys/fs/smackfs/netlabel
+echo 0.0.0.0/0 @      > /sys/fs/smackfs/netlabel
 
 If you use CIPSO on your 192.168.0.0/16 local network and need also unlabeled
 Internet access, you can have :
-echo 127.0.0.1      -CIPSO > /smack/netlabel
-echo 192.168.0.0/16 -CIPSO > /smack/netlabel
-echo 0.0.0.0/0      @      > /smack/netlabel
+echo 127.0.0.1      -CIPSO > /sys/fs/smackfs/netlabel

 Writing Applications for Smack
···
 If you want Smack auditing of security events, you need to set CONFIG_AUDIT
 in your kernel configuration.
 By default, all denied events will be audited. You can change this behavior by
-writing a single character to the /smack/logging file :
+writing a single character to the /sys/fs/smackfs/logging file :
 0 : no logging
 1 : log denied (default)
 2 : log accepted
···
 the subject, the object, the rights requested, the action, the kernel function
 that triggered the event, plus other pairs depending on the type of event
 audited.
+
+Bringup Mode
+
+Bringup mode provides logging features that can make application
+configuration and system bringup easier. Configure the kernel with
+CONFIG_SECURITY_SMACK_BRINGUP to enable these features. When bringup
+mode is enabled accesses that succeed due to rules marked with the "b"
+access mode will logged. When a new label is introduced for processes
+rules can be added aggressively, marked with the "b". The logging allows
+tracking of which rules actual get used for that label.
+
+Another feature of bringup mode is the "unconfined" option. Writing
+a label to /sys/fs/smackfs/unconfined makes subjects with that label
+able to access any object, and objects with that label accessible to
+all subjects. Any access that is granted because a label is unconfined
+is logged. This feature is dangerous, as files and directories may
+be created in places they couldn't if the policy were being enforced.
