define convenient securebits masks for prctl users (v2)
Hi James, would you mind taking the following into security-testing? The securebits are used by passing them to prctl with the PR_{S,G}ET_SECUREBITS commands. But the defines must be shifted to be used in prctl, which begs to be confused and misused by userspace. So define some more convenient values for userspace to specify. This way userspace does prctl(PR_SET_SECUREBITS, SECBIT_NOROOT); instead of prctl(PR_SET_SECUREBITS, 1 << SECURE_NOROOT); (Thanks to Michael for the idea) This patch also adds include/linux/securebits to the installed headers. Then perhaps it can be included by glibc's sys/prctl.h. Changelog: Oct 29: Stephen Rothwell points out that issecure can be under __KERNEL__. Oct 14: (Suggestions by Michael Kerrisk): 1. spell out SETUID in SECBIT_NO_SETUID* 2. SECBIT_X_LOCKED does not imply SECBIT_X 3. add definitions for keepcaps Oct 14: As suggested by Michael Kerrisk, don't use SB_* as that convention is already in use. Use SECBIT_ prefix instead.
