This is discussed in several places, e.g.: selinux-doc/PORTING
selinux-doc/module/syscall.sgml (in the latest selinux-doc, version 1.18)
http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/papers/module/x360.html http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/papers/ols2003-selinux/text8.html

Please look at the existing documentation and mailing list archives (more easily searchable via marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=selinux) before asking questions here.
