SELinux has been distributed as a part of mainlined Linux 2.6.x series for the recent five years. It can be enabled/disabled on both of compile time and system bootup time, by user's preference. SELinux is implemented as a security module on the LSM framework which provides a set of neutral hooks for any other stuffs. SE-PostgreSQL also had a similar stuff named as PGACE, but I agreed an opinion that we (pgsql-hackers) don't want in-code framework two months ago, so the PGACE has gone now.
