Likewise for me; I don't generally try building for 32-bit systems.
Remapping FS_IOC32_* to FS_IOC_* in selinux_file_ioctl() seems
reasonable to me although optimally that would be conditional on
whether selinux_file_ioctl() is being called from the compat ioctl
syscall (e.g. adding a flag to the LSM hook to indicate this or using
a separate hook for it). Otherwise we might misinterpret some other
ioctl on 64-bit.
If we didn't have compatibility requirements, it would be tempting to
just get rid of all the special case ioctl command handling in
selinux_file_ioctl() and let ioctl_has_perm() handle them all with the
extended ioctl permissions support. But that would require a SELinux
policy cap to switch it on conditionally for compatibility at least
and not sure anyone is willing to refactor their policies accordingly.
