This patch enables to read security context anytime to prepare parsing "%C" none

Description KaiGai Kohei 2006-11-21 14:44:39 UTC
Description of problem:
When we execute 'stat' with -c option and a format string including "%C",
it prints "(null)" in spite of the security context of the files specified.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
I confirmed it on coreutils-5.97-14.fc7.
Probably, we can reproduce this problem in any recent version of coreutils.

How reproducible:
% stat -c "%C" hoge.txt
(null)

We expect the following result.
% stat -c "%C" hoge.txt
user_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0
