<content type='text'>
secid_to_secctx is not stackable, and since the BPF LSM registers this
hook by default, the call_int_hook logic is not suitable which
"bails-on-fail" and casues issues when other LSMs register this hook and
eventually breaks Audit.

In order to fix this, directly iterate over the security hooks instead
of using call_int_hook as suggested in:

The information about the different types of LSM hooks is scattered
in two locations i.e. union security_list_options and
struct security_hook_heads. Rather than duplicating this information
even further for BPF_PROG_TYPE_LSM, define all the hooks with the
LSM_HOOK macro in lsm_hook_defs.h which is then used to generate all
the data structures required by the LSM framework.

The LSM hooks are defined as:

  LSM_HOOK(&lt;return_type&gt;, &lt;default_value&gt;, &lt;hook_name&gt;, args...)

with &lt;default_value&gt; acccessible in security.c as:

  LSM_RET_DEFAULT(&lt;hook_name&gt;)

<id>urn:sha1:59438b46471ae6cdfb761afc8c9beaf1e428a331</id>
<content type='text'>
Implement a SELinux hook for lockdown.  If the lockdown module is also
enabled, then a denial by the lockdown module will take precedence over
SELinux, so SELinux can only further restrict lockdown decisions.
The SELinux hook only distinguishes at the granularity of integrity
versus confidentiality similar to the lockdown module, but includes the
full lockdown reason as part of the audit record as a hint in diagnosing
what triggered the denial.  To support this auditing, move the
lockdown_reasons[] string array from being private to the lockdown
module to the security framework so that it can be used by the lsm audit
code and so that it is always available even when the lockdown module
is disabled.

Note that the SELinux implementation allows the integrity and
confidentiality reasons to be controlled independently from one another.
Thus, in an SELinux policy, one could allow operations that specify
an integrity reason while blocking operations that specify a
confidentiality reason. The SELinux hook implementation is
stricter than the lockdown module in validating the provided reason value.

Sample AVC audit output from denials:
avc:  denied  { integrity } for pid=3402 comm="fwupd"
 lockdown_reason="/dev/mem,kmem,port" scontext=system_u:system_r:fwupd_t:s0
 tcontext=system_u:system_r:fwupd_t:s0 tclass=lockdown permissive=0

avc:  denied  { confidentiality } for pid=4628 comm="cp"
 lockdown_reason="/proc/kcore access"
 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:test_lockdown_integrity_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:test_lockdown_integrity_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023

<title>perf_event: Add support for LSM and SELinux checks</title>

<id>urn:sha1:da97e18458fb42d7c00fac5fd1c56a3896ec666e</id>
<content type='text'>
In current mainline, the degree of access to perf_event_open(2) system
call depends on the perf_event_paranoid sysctl.  This has a number of
limitations:

1. The sysctl is only a single value. Many types of accesses are controlled
   based on the single value thus making the control very limited and
   coarse grained.
2. The sysctl is global, so if the sysctl is changed, then that means
   all processes get access to perf_event_open(2) opening the door to
   security issues.

This patch adds LSM and SELinux access checking which will be used in
Android to access perf_event_open(2) for the purposes of attaching BPF
programs to tracepoints, perf profiling and other operations from
userspace. These operations are intended for production systems.

5 new LSM hooks are added:
1. perf_event_open: This controls access during the perf_event_open(2)
   syscall itself. The hook is called from all the places that the
   perf_event_paranoid sysctl is checked to keep it consistent with the
   systctl. The hook gets passed a 'type' argument which controls CPU,
   kernel and tracepoint accesses (in this context, CPU, kernel and
   tracepoint have the same semantics as the perf_event_paranoid sysctl).
   Additionally, I added an 'open' type which is similar to
   perf_event_paranoid sysctl == 3 patch carried in Android and several other
   distros but was rejected in mainline [1] in 2016.

2. perf_event_alloc: This allocates a new security object for the event
   which stores the current SID within the event. It will be useful when
   the perf event's FD is passed through IPC to another process which may
   try to read the FD. Appropriate security checks will limit access.

3. perf_event_free: Called when the event is closed.

4. perf_event_read: Called from the read(2) and mmap(2) syscalls for the event.

5. perf_event_write: Called from the ioctl(2) syscalls for the event.

[1] https://lwn.net/Articles/696240/

Since Peter had suggest LSM hooks in 2016 [1], I am adding his
Suggested-by tag below.

To use this patch, we set the perf_event_paranoid sysctl to -1 and then
apply selinux checking as appropriate (default deny everything, and then
add policy rules to give access to domains that need it). In the future
we can remove the perf_event_paranoid sysctl altogether.

Pull kernel lockdown mode from James Morris:
 "This is the latest iteration of the kernel lockdown patchset, from
  Matthew Garrett, David Howells and others.

  From the original description:

    This patchset introduces an optional kernel lockdown feature,
    intended to strengthen the boundary between UID 0 and the kernel.
    When enabled, various pieces of kernel functionality are restricted.
    Applications that rely on low-level access to either hardware or the
    kernel may cease working as a result - therefore this should not be
    enabled without appropriate evaluation beforehand.

    The majority of mainstream distributions have been carrying variants
    of this patchset for many years now, so there's value in providing a
    doesn't meet every distribution requirement, but gets us much closer
    to not requiring external patches.

  There are two major changes since this was last proposed for mainline:

   - Separating lockdown from EFI secure boot. Background discussion is
     covered here: https://lwn.net/Articles/751061/

   -  Implementation as an LSM, with a default stackable lockdown LSM
      module. This allows the lockdown feature to be policy-driven,
      rather than encoding an implicit policy within the mechanism.

  The new locked_down LSM hook is provided to allow LSMs to make a
  policy decision around whether kernel functionality that would allow
  tampering with or examining the runtime state of the kernel should be
  permitted.

  The included lockdown LSM provides an implementation with a simple
  policy intended for general purpose use. This policy provides a coarse
  level of granularity, controllable via the kernel command line:

    lockdown={integrity|confidentiality}

  Enable the kernel lockdown feature. If set to integrity, kernel features
  that allow userland to modify the running kernel are disabled. If set to
  confidentiality, kernel features that allow userland to extract
  confidential information from the kernel are also disabled.

  This may also be controlled via /sys/kernel/security/lockdown and
  overriden by kernel configuration.

  New or existing LSMs may implement finer-grained controls of the
  lockdown features. Refer to the lockdown_reason documentation in
  include/linux/security.h for details.

  The lockdown feature has had signficant design feedback and review
  across many subsystems. This code has been in linux-next for some
  weeks, with a few fixes applied along the way.

  Stephen Rothwell noted that commit 9d1f8be5cf42 ("bpf: Restrict bpf
  when kernel lockdown is in confidentiality mode") is missing a
  Signed-off-by from its author. Matthew responded that he is providing
  this under category (c) of the DCO"

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:

 - Add LSM hooks, and SELinux access control hooks, for dnotify,
   fanotify, and inotify watches. This has been discussed with both the
   LSM and fs/notify folks and everybody is good with these new hooks.

 - The LSM stacking changes missed a few calls to current_security() in
   the SELinux code; we fix those and remove current_security() for
   good.

 - Improve our network object labeling cache so that we always return
   the object's label, even when under memory pressure. Previously we
   would return an error if we couldn't allocate a new cache entry, now
   we always return the label even if we can't create a new cache entry
   for it.

 - Convert the sidtab atomic_t counter to a normal u32 with
   READ/WRITE_ONCE() and memory barrier protection.

 - A few patches to policydb.c to clean things up (remove forward
   declarations, long lines, bad variable names, etc)

The lockdown module is intended to allow for kernels to be locked down
early in boot - sufficiently early that we don't have the ability to
kmalloc() yet. Add support for early initialisation of some LSMs, and
then add them to the list of names when we do full initialisation later.
Early LSMs are initialised in link order and cannot be overridden via
boot parameters, and cannot make use of kmalloc() (since the allocator
isn't initialised yet).

(Fixed by Stephen Rothwell to include a stub to fix builds when
!CONFIG_SECURITY)
