2012-04-09SELinux: remove unused common_audit_data in flush_unauthorized_filesEric Paris
We don't need this variable and it just eats stack space. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2012-04-09SELinux: avc: remove the useless fields in avc_add_callbackWanlong Gao
avc_add_callback now just used for registering reset functions in initcalls, and the callback functions just did reset operations. So, reducing the arguments to only one event is enough now. Signed-off-by: Wanlong Gao <gaowanlong@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2012-04-09SELinux: replace weak GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_KERNEL in avc_add_callbackWanlong Gao

2012-04-09SELinux: unify the selinux_audit_data and selinux_late_audit_dataEric Paris

2012-04-09LSM: do not initialize common_audit_data to 0Eric Paris
It isn't needed. If you don't set the type of the data associated with that type it is a pretty obvious programming bug. So why waste the cycles? Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2012-04-09SELinux: move common_audit_data to a noinline slow path functionEric Paris
selinux_inode_has_perm is a hot path. Instead of declaring the common_audit_data on the stack move it to a noinline function only used in the rare case we need to send an audit message. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2012-04-09SELinux: delay initialization of audit data in selinux_inode_permissionEric Paris
We pay a rather large overhead initializing the common_audit_data. Since we only need this information if we actually emit an audit message there is little need to set it up in the hot path. This patch splits the functionality of avc_has_perm() into avc_has_perm_noaudit(), avc_audit_required() and slow_avc_audit(). But we take care of setting up to audit between required() and the actual audit call. Thus saving measurable time in a hot path.

2012-04-09SELinux: if sel_make_bools errors don't leave inconsistent stateEric Paris
We reset the bool names and values array to NULL, but do not reset the number of entries in these arrays to 0. If we error out and then get back into this function we will walk these NULL pointers based on the belief that they are non-zero length.

2012-04-09SELinux: remove needless sel_div functionEric Paris
I'm not really sure what the idea behind the sel_div function is, but it's useless. Since a and b are both unsigned, it's impossible for a % b < 0. That means that part of the function never does anything. Thus it's just a normal /. Just do that instead. I don't even understand what that operation was supposed to mean in the signed case however.... If it was signed: sel_div(-2, 4) == ((-2 / 4) - ((-2 % 4) < 0)) ((0) - ((-2) < 0)) ((0) - (1)) (-1) What actually happens: sel_div(-2, 4) == ((18446744073709551614 / 4) - ((18446744073709551614 % 4) < 0)) ((4611686018427387903) - ((2 < 0)) (4611686018427387903 - 0) ((unsigned int)4611686018427387903) (4294967295) Neither makes a whole ton of sense to me. So I'm getting rid of the function entirely. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2012-04-09SELinux: possible NULL deref in context_struct_to_stringEric Paris
It's possible that the caller passed a NULL for scontext. However if this is a defered mapping we might still attempt to call *scontext=kstrdup(). This is bad. Instead just return the len. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2012-04-09SELinux: audit failed attempts to set invalid labelsEric Paris
We know that some yum operation is causing CAP_MAC_ADMIN failures. This implies that an RPM is laying down (or attempting to lay down) a file with an invalid label. The problem is that we don't have any information to track down the cause. This patch will cause such a failure to report the failed label in an SELINUX_ERR audit message. This is similar to the SELINUX_ERR reports on invalid transitions and things like that. It should help run down problems on what is trying to set invalid labels in the future. Resulting records look something like: type=AVC msg=audit(1319659241.138:71): avc: denied { mac_admin } for pid=2594 comm="chcon" capability=33 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=capability2 type=SELINUX_ERR msg=audit(1319659241.138:71): op=setxattr invalid_context=unconfined_u:object_r:hello:s0 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1319659241.138:71): arch=c000003e syscall=188 success=no exit=-22 a0=a2c0e0 a1=390341b79b a2=a2d620 a3=1f items=1 ppid=2519 pid=2594 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=pts0 ses=1 comm="chcon" exe="/usr/bin/chcon" subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) type=CWD msg=audit(1319659241.138:71): cwd="/root" type=PATH msg=audit(1319659241.138:71): item=0 name="test" inode=785879 dev=fc:03 mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2012-04-09SELinux: check OPEN on truncate callsEric Paris
In RH BZ 578841 we realized that the SELinux sandbox program was allowed to truncate files outside of the sandbox. The reason is because sandbox confinement is determined almost entirely by the 'open' permission. The idea was that if the sandbox was unable to open() files it would be unable to do harm to those files. This turns out to be false in light of syscalls like truncate() and chmod() which don't require a previous open() call. I looked at the syscalls that did not have an associated 'open' check and found that truncate(), did not have a seperate permission and even if it did have a separate permission such a permission owuld be inadequate for use by sandbox (since it owuld have to be granted so liberally as to be useless). This patch checks the OPEN permission on truncate. I think a better solution for sandbox is a whole new permission, but at least this fixes what we have today.

2012-04-09SELinux: add default_type statementsEric Paris

2012-04-09SELinux: allow default source/target selectors for user/role/rangeEric Paris
When new objects are created we have great and flexible rules to determine the type of the new object. We aren't quite as flexible or mature when it comes to determining the user, role, and range. This patch adds a new ability to specify the place a new objects user, role, and range should come from. For users and roles it can come from either the source or the target of the operation. aka for files the user can either come from the source (the running process and todays default) or it can come from the target (aka the parent directory of the new file) examples always are done with directory context: system_u:object_r:mnt_t:s0-s0:c0.c512 process context: unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 [no rule] unconfined_u:object_r:mnt_t:s0 test_none [default user source] unconfined_u:object_r:mnt_t:s0 test_user_source [default user target] system_u:object_r:mnt_t:s0 test_user_target [default role source] unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mnt_t:s0 test_role_source [default role target] unconfined_u:object_r:mnt_t:s0 test_role_target [default range source low] unconfined_u:object_r:mnt_t:s0 test_range_source_low [default range source high] unconfined_u:object_r:mnt_t:s0:c0.c1023 test_range_source_high [default range source low-high] unconfined_u:object_r:mnt_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 test_range_source_low-high [default range target low] unconfined_u:object_r:mnt_t:s0 test_range_target_low [default range target high] unconfined_u:object_r:mnt_t:s0:c0.c512 test_range_target_high [default range target low-high] unconfined_u:object_r:mnt_t:s0-s0:c0.c512 test_range_target_low-high Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

common_audit_data' It just bloats the audit data structure for no good reason, since the only time those fields are filled are just before calling the common_lsm_audit() function, which is also the only user of those fields.

2012-04-03LSM: shrink the common_audit_data data unionEric Paris
After shrinking the common_audit_data stack usage for private LSM data I'm not going to shrink the data union. To do this I'm going to move anything larger than 2 void * ptrs to it's own structure and require it to be declared separately on the calling stack. Thus hot paths which don't need more than a couple pointer don't have to declare space to hold large unneeded structures. I could get this down to one void * by dealing with the key struct and the struct path. We'll see if that is helpful after taking care of networking.

2012-04-03LSM: shrink sizeof LSM specific portion of common_audit_dataEric Paris
Linus found that the gigantic size of the common audit data caused a big perf hit on something as simple as running stat() in a loop. This patch requires LSMs to declare the LSM specific portion separately rather than doing it in a union. Thus each LSM can be responsible for shrinking their portion and don't have to pay a penalty just because other LSMs have a bigger space requirement.

2012-03-31selinux: inline avc_audit() and avc_has_perm_noaudit() into callerLinus Torvalds
Now that all the slow-path code is gone from these functions, we can inline them into the main caller - avc_has_perm_flags(). Now the compiler can see that 'avc' is allocated on the stack for this case, which helps register pressure a bit. It also actually shrinks the total stack frame, because the stack frame that avc_has_perm_flags() always needed (for that 'avc' allocation) is now sufficient for the inlined functions too. Inlining isn't bad - but mindless inlining of cold code (see the previous commit) is. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-03-31selinux: don't inline slow-path code into avc_has_perm_noaudit()Linus Torvalds
The selinux AVC paths remain some of the hottest (and deepest) codepaths at filename lookup time, and we make it worse by having the slow path cases take up I$ and stack space even when they don't trigger. Gcc tends to always want to inline functions that are just called once - never mind that this might make for slower and worse code in the caller. So this tries to improve on it a bit by making the slow-path cases explicitly separate functions that are marked noinline, causing gcc to at least no longer allocate stack space for them unless they are actually called. It also seems to help register allocation a tiny bit, since gcc now doesn't take the slow case code into account. Uninlining the slow path may also allow us to inline the remaining hot path into the one caller that actually matters: avc_has_perm_flags(). I'll have to look at that separately, but both avc_audit() and avc_has_perm_noaudit() are now small and lean enough that inlining them may make sense.

2012-03-22security: optimize avc_audit() common pathLinus Torvalds
avc_audit() did a lot of jumping around and had a big stack frame, all for the uncommon case. Split up the uncommon case (which we really can't make go fast anyway) into its own slow function, and mark the conditional branches appropriately for the common likely case. This causes avc_audit() to no longer show up as one of the hottest functions on the branch profiles (the new "perf -b" thing), and makes the cycle profiles look really nice and dense too. The whole audit path is still annoyingly very much one of the biggest costs of name lookup, so these things are worth optimizing for. I wish we could just tell people to turn it off, but realistically we do need it: we just need to make sure that the overhead of the necessary evil is as low as possible.

2012-02-19Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longsDavid Howells
Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longs and then use the standard non-atomic bit operations rather than the FD_* macros. This: (1) Removes the abuses of struct fd_set: (a) Since we don't want to allocate a full fd_set the vast majority of the time, we actually, in effect, just allocate a just-big-enough array of unsigned longs and cast it to an fd_set type - so why bother with the fd_set at all? (b) Some places outside of the core fdtable handling code (such as SELinux) want to look inside the array of unsigned longs hidden inside the fd_set struct for more efficient iteration over the entire set. (2) Eliminates the use of FD_*() macros in the kernel completely. (3) Permits the __FD_*() macros to be deleted entirely where not exposed to userspace.

2012-01-05ptrace: do not audit capability check when outputing /proc/pid/statEric Paris
Reading /proc/pid/stat of another process checks if one has ptrace permissions on that process. If one does have permissions it outputs some data about the process which might have security and attack implications. If the current task does not have ptrace permissions the read still works, but those fields are filled with inocuous (0) values. Since this check and a subsequent denial is not a violation of the security policy we should not audit such denials. This can be quite useful to removing ptrace broadly across a system without flooding the logs when ps is run or something which harmlessly walks proc.

2012-01-05capabilities: remove the task from capable LSM hook entirelyEric Paris
The capabilities framework is based around credentials, not necessarily the current task. Yet we still passed the current task down into LSMs from the security_capable() LSM hook as if it was a meaningful portion of the security decision. This patch removes the 'generic' passing of current and instead forces individual LSMs to use current explicitly if they think it is appropriate. In our case those LSMs are SELinux and AppArmor. I believe the AppArmor use of current is incorrect, but that is wholely unrelated to this patch. This patch does not change what AppArmor does, it just makes it clear in the AppArmor code that it is doing it. The SELinux code still uses current in it's audit message, which may also be wrong and needs further investigation. Again this is NOT a change, it may have always been wrong, this patch just makes it clear what is happening. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
