2020-08-25selinux: convert policy read-write lock to RCUStephen Smalley1-5/+0
Convert the policy read-write lock to RCU. This is significantly simplified by the earlier work to encapsulate the policy data structures and refactor the policy load and boolean setting logic. Move the latest_granting sequence number into the selinux_policy structure so that it can be updated atomically with the policy. Since removing the policy rwlock and moving latest_granting reduces the selinux_ss structure to nothing more than a wrapper around the selinux_policy pointer, get rid of the extra layer of indirection. At present this change merely passes a hardcoded 1 to rcu_dereference_check() in the cases where we know we do not need to take rcu_read_lock(), with the preceding comment explaining why. Alternatively we could pass fsi->mutex down from selinuxfs and apply a lockdep check on it instead. Based in part on earlier attempts to convert the policy rwlock to RCU by Kaigai Kohei [1] and by Peter Enderborg [2].

2020-08-18selinux: refactor changing booleansStephen Smalley1-1/+1
Refactor the logic for changing SELinux policy booleans in a similar manner to the refactoring of policy load, thereby reducing the size of the critical section when the policy write-lock is held and making it easier to convert the policy rwlock to RCU in the future. Instead of directly modifying the policydb in place, modify a copy and then swap it into place through a single pointer update. Only fully copy the portions of the policydb that are affected by boolean changes to avoid the full cost of a deep policydb copy. Introduce another level of indirection for the sidtab since changing booleans does not require updating the sidtab, unlike policy load. While we are here, create a common helper for notifying other kernel components and userspace of a policy change and call it from both security_set_bools() and selinux_policy_commit(). Based on an old (2004) patch by Kaigai Kohei [1] to convert the policy rwlock to RCU that was deferred at the time since it did not significantly improve performance and introduced complexity. Peter Enderborg later submitted a patch series to convert to RCU [2] that would have made changing booleans a much more expensive operation by requiring a full policydb_write();policydb_read(); sequence to deep copy the entire policydb and also had concerns regarding atomic allocations. This change is now simplified by the earlier work to encapsulate policy state in the selinux_policy struct and to refactor policy load. After this change, the last major obstacle to converting the policy rwlock to RCU is likely the sidtab live convert support.

2020-08-18selinux: encapsulate policy state, refactor policy loadStephen Smalley1-3/+7
Encapsulate the policy state in its own structure (struct selinux_policy) that is separately allocated but referenced from the selinux_ss structure. The policy state includes the SID table (particularly the context structures), the policy database, and the mapping between the kernel classes/permissions and the policy values. Refactor the security server portion of the policy load logic to cleanly separate loading of the new structures from committing the new policy. Unify the initial policy load and reload code paths as much as possible, avoiding duplicated code. Make sure we are taking the policy read-lock prior to any dereferencing of the policy. Move the copying of the policy capability booleans into the state structure outside of the policy write-lock because they are separate from the policy and are read outside of any policy lock; possibly they should be using at least READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE or smp_load_acquire/store_release. These changes simplify the policy loading logic, reduce the size of the critical section while holding the policy write-lock, and should facilitate future changes to e.g. refactor the entire policy reload logic including the selinuxfs code to make the updating of the policy and the selinuxfs directory tree atomic and/or to convert the policy read-write lock to RCU.

2020-04-17selinux: hash context structure directlyOndrej Mosnacek1-3/+0
Always hashing the string representation is inefficient. Just hash the contents of the structure directly (using jhash). If the context is invalid (str & len are set), then hash the string as before, otherwise hash the structured data. Since the context hashing function is now faster (about 10 times), this patch decreases the overhead of security_transition_sid(), which is called from many hooks. The jhash function seemed as a good choice, since it is used as the default hashing algorithm in rhashtable.

2019-12-19selinux: randomize layout of key structuresStephen Smalley1-1/+1
Randomize the layout of key selinux data structures. Initially this is applied to the selinux_state, selinux_ss, policydb, and task_security_struct data structures. NB To test/use this mechanism, one must install the necessary build-time dependencies, e.g. gcc-plugin-devel on Fedora, and enable CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_RANDSTRUCT in the kernel configuration.

2019-12-10selinux: sidtab reverse lookup hash tableJeff Vander Stoep1-1/+3
This replaces the reverse table lookup and reverse cache with a hashtable which improves cache-miss reverse-lookup times from O(n) to O(1)* and maintains the same performance as a reverse cache hit. This reduces the time needed to add a new sidtab entry from ~500us to 5us on a Pixel 3 when there are ~10,000 sidtab entries. The implementation uses the kernel's generic hashtable API, It uses the context's string represtation as the hash source, and the kernels generic string hashing algorithm full_name_hash() to reduce the string to a 32 bit value. This change also maintains the improvement introduced in commit ee1a84fdfeed ("selinux: overhaul sidtab to fix bug and improve performance") which removed the need to keep the current sidtab locked during policy reload. It does however introduce periodic locking of the target sidtab while converting the hashtable. Sidtab entries are never modified or removed, so the context struct stored in the sid_to_context tree can also be used for the context_to_sid hashtable to reduce memory usage.

2018-12-05selinux: use separate table for initial SID lookupOndrej Mosnacek1-1/+1
This moves handling of initial SIDs into a separate table. Note that the SIDs stored in the main table are now shifted by SECINITSID_NUM and converted to/from the actual SIDs transparently by helper functions. This change doesn't make much sense on its own, but it simplifies further sidtab overhaul in a succeeding patch.

2018-03-02selinux: wrap global selinux stateStephen Smalley1-2/+22
Define a selinux state structure (struct selinux_state) for global SELinux state and pass it explicitly to all security server functions. The public portion of the structure contains state that is used throughout the SELinux code, such as the enforcing mode. The structure also contains a pointer to a selinux_ss structure whose definition is private to the security server and contains security server specific state such as the policy database and SID table. This change should have no effect on SELinux behavior or APIs (userspace or LSM). It merely wraps SELinux state and passes it explicitly as needed.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2015-07-13selinux: extended permissions for ioctlsJeff Vander Stoep1-0/+6
Add extended permissions logic to selinux. Extended permissions provides additional permissions in 256 bit increments. Extend the generic ioctl permission check to use the extended permissions for per-command filtering. Source/target/class sets including the ioctl permission may additionally include a set of commands. Example: allowxperm <source> <target>:<class> ioctl unpriv_app_socket_cmds auditallowxperm <source> <target>:<class> ioctl priv_gpu_cmds Where unpriv_app_socket_cmds and priv_gpu_cmds are macros representing commonly granted sets of ioctl commands. When ioctl commands are omitted only the permissions are checked. This feature is intended to provide finer granularity for the ioctl permission that may be too imprecise. For example, the same driver may use ioctls to provide important and benign functionality such as driver version or socket type as well as dangerous capabilities such as debugging features, read/write/execute to physical memory or access to sensitive data. Per-command filtering provides a mechanism to reduce the attack surface of the kernel, and limit applications to the subset of commands required. The format of the policy binary has been modified to include ioctl commands, and the policy version number has been incremented to POLICYDB_VERSION_XPERMS_IOCTL=30 to account for the format change. The extended permissions logic is deliberately generic to allow components to be reused e.g. netlink filters Signed-off-by: Jeff Vander Stoep <jeffv@google.com> Acked-by: Nick Kralevich <nnk@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
