As part of on ongoing effort to perform more automated testing and
provide more tools for individual developers to validate their
patches before submitting, we are trying to make our code
"clang-format clean". My hope is that once we have fixed all of our
style "quirks", developers will be able to run clang-format on their
patches to help avoid silly formatting problems and ensure their
changes fit in well with the rest of the SELinux kernel code.

Currently, SELinux doesn't allow distinguishing between kernel threads
and userspace processes that are started before the policy is first
loaded - both get the label corresponding to the kernel SID. The only
way a process that persists from early boot can get a meaningful label
is by doing a voluntary dyntransition or re-executing itself.
Reusing the kernel label for userspace processes is problematic for
several reasons:
1. The kernel is considered to be a privileged domain and generally
needs to have a wide range of permissions allowed to work correctly,
which prevents the policy writer from effectively hardening against
early boot processes that might remain running unintentionally after
the policy is loaded (they represent a potential extra attack surface
that should be mitigated).
2. Despite the kernel being treated as a privileged domain, the policy
writer may want to impose certain special limitations on kernel
threads that may conflict with the requirements of intentional early
boot processes. For example, it is a good hardening practice to limit
what executables the kernel can execute as usermode helpers and to
confine the resulting usermode helper processes. However, a
(legitimate) process surviving from early boot may need to execute a
different set of executables.
3. As currently implemented, overlayfs remembers the security context of
the process that created an overlayfs mount and uses it to bound
subsequent operations on files using this context. If an overlayfs
mount is created before the SELinux policy is loaded, these "mounter"
checks are made against the kernel context, which may clash with
restrictions on the kernel domain (see 2.).
To resolve this, introduce a new initial SID (reusing the slot of the
former "init" initial SID) that will be assigned to any userspace
process started before the policy is first loaded. This is easy to do,
as we can simply label any process that goes through the
bprm_creds_for_exec LSM hook with the new init-SID instead of
propagating the kernel SID from the parent.
To provide backwards compatibility for existing policies that are
unaware of this new semantic of the "init" initial SID, introduce a new
policy capability "userspace_initial_context" and set the "init" SID to
the same context as the "kernel" SID unless this capability is set by
the policy.
Another small backwards compatibility measure is needed in
security_sid_to_context_core() for before the initial SELinux policy
load - see the code comment for explanation.

In four separate functions within avtab, the same comparison logic is
used. The only difference is how the result is handled or whether there
is a unique specifier value to be checked for or used.
Extracting this functionality into the avtab_node_cmp() function unifies
the comparison logic between searching and insertion and gets rid of
duplicative code so that the implementation is easier to maintain.

avtab_read_item() is a hot function called when reading each rule in a
binary policydb. With the current Fedora policy and refpolicy, this
function is called nearly 100,000 times per policy load.
A single avtab node is only permitted to have a single specifier to
describe the data it holds. As such, a check is performed to make sure
only one specifier is set. Previously this was done via a for-loop.
However, there is already an optimal function for finding the number of
bits set (hamming weight) and on some architectures, dedicated
instructions (popcount) which can be executed much more efficiently.
Even when using -mcpu=generic on a x86-64 Fedora 38 VM, this commit
results in a modest 2-4% speedup for policy loading due to a substantial
reduction in the number of instructions executed.

The number of buckets is calculated by performing a binary AND against
the mask of the hash table, which is one less than its size (which is a
power of two). This leads to all top bits being discarded, e.g. with
the Reference Policy on Debian there exists 376 entries, leading to a
size of 512, discarding the top 23 bits.
Use jhash to improve the hash table utilization:
# current
roletr: 376 entries and 124/512 buckets used,
longest chain length 8, sum of chain length^2 1496
# patch
roletr: 376 entries and 266/512 buckets used,
longest chain length 4, sum of chain length^2 646

Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by
attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have
their accesses bounds-checked at run-time checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS
(for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family
functions).
As found with Coccinelle[1], add __counted_by for struct sidtab_str_cache.

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
"Thirty three SELinux patches, which is a pretty big number for us, but
there isn't really anything scary in here; in fact we actually manage
to remove 10 lines of code with this :)
- Promote the SELinux DEBUG_HASHES macro to CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DEBUG
The DEBUG_HASHES macro was a buried SELinux specific preprocessor
debug macro that was a problem waiting to happen. Promoting the
debug macro to a proper Kconfig setting should help both improve
the visibility of the feature as well enable improved test
coverage. We've moved some additional debug functions under the
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DEBUG flag and we may see more work in the
future.
- Emit a pr_notice() message if virtual memory is executable by default
As this impacts the SELinux access control policy enforcement, if
the system's configuration is such that virtual memory is
executable by default we print a single line notice to the console.
- Drop avtab_search() in favor of avtab_search_node()
Both functions are nearly identical so we removed avtab_search()
and converted the callers to avtab_search_node().
- Add some SELinux network auditing helpers
The helpers not only reduce a small amount of code duplication, but
they provide an opportunity to improve UDP flood performance
slightly by delaying initialization of the audit data in some
cases.
- Convert GFP_ATOMIC allocators to GFP_KERNEL when reading SELinux policy
There were two SELinux policy load helper functions that were
allocating memory using GFP_ATOMIC, they have been converted to
GFP_KERNEL.
- Quiet a KMSAN warning in selinux_inet_conn_request()
A one-line error path (re)set patch that resolves a KMSAN warning.
It is important to note that this doesn't represent a real bug in
the current code, but it quiets KMSAN and arguably hardens the code
against future changes.
- Cleanup the policy capability accessor functions
This is a follow-up to the patch which reverted SELinux to using a
global selinux_state pointer. This patch cleans up some artifacts
of that change and turns each accessor into a one-line READ_ONCE()
call into the policy capabilities array.
- A number of patches from Christian Göttsche
Christian submitted almost two-thirds of the patches in this pull
request as he worked to harden the SELinux code against type
differences, variable overflows, etc.
- Support for separating early userspace from the kernel in policy,
with a later revert
We did have a patch that added a new userspace initial SID which
would allow SELinux to distinguish between early user processes
created before the initial policy load and the kernel itself.
Unfortunately additional post-merge testing revealed a problematic
interaction with an old SELinux userspace on an old version of
Ubuntu so we've reverted the patch until we can resolve the
compatibility issue.
- Remove some outdated comments dealing with LSM hook registration
When we removed the runtime disable functionality we forgot to
remove some old comments discussing the importance of LSM hook
registration ordering.
- Minor administrative changes
Stephen Smalley updated his email address and "debranded" SELinux
from "NSA SELinux" to simply "SELinux". We've come a long way from
the original NSA submission and I would consider SELinux a true
community project at this point so removing the NSA branding just
makes sense"

avtab_search() shares the same logic with avtab_search_node(), except
that it returns, if found, a pointer to the struct avtab_node member
datum instead of the node itself. Since the member is an embedded
struct, and not a pointer, the returned value of avtab_search() and
avtab_search_node() will always in unison either be NULL or non-NULL.
Drop avtab_search() and replace its calls by avtab_search_node() to
deduplicate logic and adopt the only caller caring for the type of
the returned value accordingly.

The object context type `fs`, not to be confused with the well used
object context type `fscon`, was introduced in the initial git commit
1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") but never actually used since.
The paper "A Security Policy Configuration for the Security-Enhanced
Linux" [1] mentions it under `7.2 File System Contexts` but also states:
Currently, this configuration is unused.
The policy statement defining such object contexts is `fscon`, e.g.:
fscon 2 3 gen_context(system_u:object_r:conA_t,s0) \
gen_context(system_u:object_r:conB_t,s0)
It is not documented at selinuxproject.org or in the SELinux notebook
and not supported by the Reference Policy buildsystem - the statement is
not properly sorted - and thus not used in the Reference or Fedora
Policy.
Print a warning message at policy load for each such object context:
SELinux: void and deprecated fs ocon 02:03

benefit. The original idea was to pave the way for SELinux namespaces
but those have not yet been implemented and there isn't currently
a concrete plan to do so. Remove the passing of the selinux_state
pointers, reverting to direct use of the single global selinux_state,
and likewise remove passing of child pointers like the selinux_avc.
The selinux_policy pointer remains as it is needed for atomic switching
of policies.

"Two SELinux patches: one increases the sleep time on deprecated
functionality, and one removes the indirect calls in the sidtab
context conversion code"
* tag 'selinux-pr-20221212' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/selinux:
selinux: remove the sidtab context conversion indirect calls
selinux: increase the deprecation sleep for checkreqprot and runtime disable
|
|
The sidtab conversion code has support for multiple context
conversion routines through the use of function pointers and
indirect calls. However, the reality is that all current users rely
on the same conversion routine: convert_context(). This patch does
away with this extra complexity and replaces the indirect calls
with direct function calls; allowing us to remove a layer of
obfuscation and create cleaner, more maintainable code.

SELinux: Context system_u:object_r:pssp_rsyslog_log_t:s0:c0 is
not valid (left unmapped).
It was found that within a critical section of spin_lock_irqsave in
sidtab_context_to_sid(), convert_context() (hooked by
sidtab_convert_params.func) might cause the process to sleep via
allocating memory with GFP_KERNEL, which is problematic.
As Ondrej pointed out [1], convert_context()/sidtab_convert_params.func
has another caller sidtab_convert_tree(), which is okay with GFP_KERNEL.
Therefore, fix this problem by adding a gfp_t argument for
convert_context()/sidtab_convert_params.func and pass GFP_KERNEL/_ATOMIC
properly in individual callers.

Declare ebitmap, mls_level and mls_context parameters const where they
are only read from. This allows callers to supply pointers to const
as arguments and increases readability.
