From 21c7eae21a2100a89cfb8cebaf7b770271f32c6e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Lukasz Pawelczyk <l.pawelczyk@samsung.com>
Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2014 17:02:55 +0200
Subject: Make Smack operate on smack_known struct where it still used char*

Smack used to use a mix of smack_known struct and char* throughout its
APIs and implementation. This patch unifies the behaviour and makes it
store and operate exclusively on smack_known struct pointers when managing
labels.
