2024-09-30rust: security: add abstraction for secctxAlice Ryhl
Add an abstraction for viewing the string representation of a security context. This is needed by Rust Binder because it has a feature where a process can view the string representation of the security context for incoming transactions. The process can use that to authenticate incoming transactions, and since the feature is provided by the kernel, the process can trust that the security context is legitimate. This abstraction makes the following assumptions about the C side: * When a call to `security_secid_to_secctx` is successful, it returns a pointer and length. The pointer references a byte string and is valid for reading for that many bytes. * The string may be referenced until `security_release_secctx` is called. * If CONFIG_SECURITY is set, then the three methods mentioned in rust/helpers are available without a helper. (That is, they are not a #define or `static inline`.)

2024-09-30rust: cred: add Rust abstraction for `struct cred`Wedson Almeida Filho
Add a wrapper around `struct cred` called `Credential`, and provide functionality to get the `Credential` associated with a `File`. Rust Binder must check the credentials of processes when they attempt to perform various operations, and these checks usually take a `&Credential` as parameter. The security_binder_set_context_mgr function would be one example. This patch is necessary to access these security_* methods from Rust. This Rust abstraction makes the following assumptions about the C side: * `struct cred` is refcounted with `get_cred`/`put_cred`. * It's okay to transfer a `struct cred` across threads, that is, you do not need to call `put_cred` on the same thread as where you called `get_cred`. * The `euid` field of a `struct cred` never changes after initialization. * The `f_cred` field of a `struct file` never changes after initialization.

2024-09-30rust: file: add Rust abstraction for `struct file`Wedson Almeida Filho
This abstraction makes it possible to manipulate the open files for a process. The new `File` struct wraps the C `struct file`. When accessing it using the smart pointer `ARef<File>`, the pointer will own a reference count to the file. When accessing it as `&File`, then the reference does not own a refcount, but the borrow checker will ensure that the reference count does not hit zero while the `&File` is live. Since this is intended to manipulate the open files of a process, we introduce an `fget` constructor that corresponds to the C `fget` method. In future patches, it will become possible to create a new fd in a process and bind it to a `File`. Rust Binder will use these to send fds from one process to another. We also provide a method for accessing the file's flags. Rust Binder will use this to access the flags of the Binder fd to check whether the non-blocking flag is set, which affects what the Binder ioctl does. This introduces a struct for the EBADF error type, rather than just using the Error type directly. This has two advantages: * `File::fget` returns a `Result<ARef<File>, BadFdError>`, which the compiler will represent as a single pointer, with null being an error. This is possible because the compiler understands that `BadFdError` has only one possible value, and it also understands that the `ARef<File>` smart pointer is guaranteed non-null. * Additionally, we promise to users of the method that the method can only fail with EBADF, which means that they can rely on this promise without having to inspect its implementation. That said, there are also two disadvantages: * Defining additional error types involves boilerplate. * The question mark operator will only utilize the `From` trait once, which prevents you from using the question mark operator on `BadFdError` in methods that return some third error type that the kernel `Error` is convertible into. (However, it works fine in methods that return `Error`.)

2024-08-31rust: rbtree: add red-black tree implementation backed by the C versionWedson Almeida Filho
The rust rbtree exposes a map-like interface over keys and values, backed by the kernel red-black tree implementation. Values can be inserted, deleted, and retrieved from a `RBTree` by key. This base abstraction is used by binder to store key/value pairs and perform lookups, for example the patch "[PATCH RFC 03/20] rust_binder: add threading support" in the binder RFC [1].

This removes the need to explicitly export all symbols. Generate helper exports similarly to what's currently done for Rust crates. These helpers are exclusively called from within Rust code and therefore can be treated similar as other Rust symbols.

2024-08-18rust: kbuild: split up helpers.cAndreas Hindborg
This patch splits up the rust helpers C file. When rebasing patch sets on upstream linux, merge conflicts in helpers.c is common and time consuming [1]. Thus, split the file so that each kernel component can live in a separate file. This patch lists helper files explicitly and thus conflicts in the file list is still likely. However, they should be more simple to resolve than the conflicts usually seen in helpers.c. [ Removed `README.md` and undeleted the original comment since now, in v3 of the series, we have a `helpers.c` again; which also allows us to keep the "Sorted alphabetically" line and makes the diff easier. In addition, updated the Documentation/ mentions of the file, reworded title and removed blank lines at the end of `page.c`. - Miguel ] Link: https://rust-for-linux.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/288089-General/topic/Splitting.20up.20helpers.2Ec/near/426694012 [1] Signed-off-by: Andreas Hindborg <a.hindborg@samsung.com> Reviewed-by: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net> Acked-by: Dirk Behme <dirk.behme@de.bosch.com> Reviewed-by: Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl@google.com> Reviewed-by: Benno Lossin <benno.lossin@proton.me> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240815103016.2771842-1-nmi@metaspace.dk Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>
