AVC seen when a process writes to /dev/log socket, system logins are slow and/or service logs are not seen in the journal

Issue

• On SELinux enabled systems, the following AVC can be seen when a process (or a service) attempts to write to /dev/log socket

  # ausearch -m avc | grep "devtmpfs"
  type=AVC ... avc: denied { write } ... name=log dev="devtmpfs" ... tcontext=system_u:object_r:device_t:s0 tclass=sock_file
  

• System logins are very slow after some time

• Services that were started after rsyslogd don't log to the journal but rsyslogd directly, while services that were started before rsyslogd log to the journal
