selinux: ensure av_permissions.h is built when needed

2023-04-12T23:46:35Z

The Makefile rule responsible for building flask.h and av_permissions.h only lists flask.h as a target which means that av_permissions.h is only generated when flask.h needs to be generated. This patch fixes this by adding av_permissions.h as a target to the rule. Fixes: 8753f6bec352 ("selinux: generate flask headers during kernel build") Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

selinux: fix Makefile dependencies of flask.h

2023-04-12T17:34:20Z

Make the flask.h target depend on the genheaders binary instead of classmap.h to ensure that it is rebuilt if any of the dependencies of genheaders are changed. Notably this fixes flask.h not being rebuilt when initial_sid_to_string.h is modified.

selinux: stop returning node from avc_insert()

2023-04-04T16:05:42Z

The callers haven't used the returned node since commit 21193dcd1f3570dd ("SELinux: more careful use of avd in avc_has_perm_noaudit") and the return value assignments were removed in commit 0a9876f36b08706d ("selinux: Remove redundant assignments"). Stop returning the node altogether and make the functions return void. Signed-off-by: Stephen Smalley PM: minor subj tweak, repair whitespace damage Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

selinux: remove the runtime disable functionality

2023-03-20T16:34:23Z

After working with the larger SELinux-based distros for several years, we're finally at a place where we can disable the SELinux runtime disable functionality. The existing kernel deprecation notice explains the functionality and why we want to remove it: The selinuxfs "disable" node allows SELinux to be disabled at runtime prior to a policy being loaded into the kernel. If disabled via this mechanism, SELinux will remain disabled until the system is rebooted. The preferred method of disabling SELinux is via the "selinux=0" boot parameter, but the selinuxfs "disable" node was created to make it easier for systems with primitive bootloaders that did not allow for easy modification of the kernel command line. Unfortunately, allowing for SELinux to be disabled at runtime makes it difficult to secure the kernel's LSM hooks using the "__ro_after_init" feature. It is that last sentence, mentioning the '__ro_after_init' hardening, which is the real motivation for this change, and if you look at the diffstat you'll see that the impact of this patch reaches across all the different LSMs, helping prevent tampering at the LSM hook level. From a SELinux perspective, it is important to note that if you continue to disable SELinux via "/etc/selinux/config" it may appear that SELinux is disabled, but it is simply in an uninitialized state. If you load a policy with `load_policy -i`, you will see SELinux come alive just as if you had loaded the policy during early-boot. It is also worth noting that the "/sys/fs/selinux/disable" file is always writable now, regardless of the Kconfig settings, but writing to the file has no effect on the system, other than to display an error on the console if a non-zero/true value is written. Finally, in the several years where we have been working on deprecating this functionality, there has only been one instance of someone mentioning any user visible breakage. In this particular case it was an individual's kernel test system, and the workaround documented in the deprecation notice ("selinux=0" on the kernel command line) resolved the issue without problem.

selinux: remove the 'checkreqprot' functionality

2023-03-20T16:33:50Z

We originally promised that the SELinux 'checkreqprot' functionality would be removed no sooner than June 2021, and now that it is March 2023 it seems like it is a good time to do the final removal. The deprecation notice in the kernel provides plenty of detail on why 'checkreqprot' is not desirable, with the key point repeated below: This was a compatibility mechanism for legacy userspace and for the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag. However, if set to 1, it weakens security by allowing mappings to be made executable without authorization by policy. The default value of checkreqprot at boot was changed starting in Linux v4.4 to 0 (i.e. check the actual protection), and Android and Linux distributions have been explicitly writing a "0" to /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot during initialization for some time. Along with the official deprecation notice, we have been discussing this on-list and directly with several of the larger SELinux-based distros and everyone is happy to see this feature finally removed. In an attempt to catch all of the smaller, and DIY, Linux systems we have been writing a deprecation notice URL into the kernel log, along with a growing ssleep() penalty, when admins enabled checkreqprot at runtime or via the kernel command line. We have yet to have anyone come to us and raise an objection to the deprecation or planned removal. It is worth noting that while this patch removes the checkreqprot functionality, it leaves the user visible interfaces (kernel command line and selinuxfs file) intact, just inert. This should help prevent breakages with existing userspace tools that correctly, but unnecessarily, disable checkreqprot at boot or runtime. Admins that attempt to enable checkreqprot will be met with a removal message in the kernel log. Acked-by: Stephen Smalley Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

selinux: stop passing selinux_state pointers and their offspring

2023-03-14T19:22:45Z

Linus observed that the pervasive passing of selinux_state pointers introduced by me in commit aa8e712cee93 ("selinux: wrap global selinux state") adds overhead and complexity without providing any 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.

selinux: uninline unlikely parts of avc_has_perm_noaudit()

2023-03-08T16:48:27Z

This is based on earlier patch posted to the list by Linus, his commit description read: "avc_has_perm_noaudit()is one of those hot functions that end up being used by almost all filesystem operations (through "avc_has_perm()") and it's intended to be cheap enough to inline. However, it turns out that the unlikely parts of it (where it doesn't find an existing avc node) need a fair amount of stack space for the automatic replacement node, so if it were to be inlined (at least clang does not) it would just use stack space unnecessarily. So split the unlikely part out of it, and mark that part noinline. That improves the actual likely part." The basic idea behind the patch was reasonable, but there were minor nits (double indenting, etc.) and the RCU read lock unlock/re-lock in avc_compute_av() began to look even more ugly. This patch builds on Linus' first effort by cleaning things up a bit and removing the RCU unlock/lock dance in avc_compute_av(). Removing the RCU lock dance in avc_compute_av() is safe as there are currently two callers of avc_compute_av(): avc_has_perm_noaudit() and avc_has_extended_perms(). The first caller in avc_has_perm_noaudit() does not require a RCU lock as there is no avc_node to protect so the RCU lock can be dropped before calling avc_compute_av(). The second caller, avc_has_extended_perms(), is similar in that there is no avc_node that requires RCU protection, but the code is simplified by holding the RCU look around the avc_compute_av() call, and given that we enter a RCU critical section in security_compute_av() (called from av_compute_av()) the impact will likely be unnoticeable. It is also worth noting that avc_has_extended_perms() is only called from the SELinux ioctl() access control hook at the moment. Acked-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

fs: port inode_owner_or_capable() to mnt_idmap

2023-01-19T08:24:29Z

Convert to struct mnt_idmap. Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in 256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap. Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for bugs. Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems only operate on struct mnt_idmap.
