Casey Schaufler 46a2f3b9e9 Smack: setprocattr memory leak fix
The data structure allocations being done in prepare_creds
are duplicated in smack_setprocattr. This results in the
structure allocated in prepare_creds being orphaned and
never freed. The duplicate code is removed from
smack_setprocattr.

I have a slightly different version that applies to the
current smack-next tree.

Allow SIGCHLD to be passed to child process without
explicit policy. This will help to keep the access
control policy simple and easily maintainable with
complex applications that require use of multiple
security contexts. It will also help to keep them
as isolated as possible.

In this case strlen(data) = 64

Rafal Krypa 65ee7f45cf Smack: don't show empty rules when /smack/load or /smack/load2 is read
This patch removes empty rules (i.e. with access set to '-') from the
rule list presented to user space.

Smack by design never removes labels nor rules from its lists. Access
for a rule may be set to '-' to effectively disable it. Such rules would
show up in the listing generated when /smack/load or /smack/load2 is
read. This may cause clutter if many rules were disabled.

As a rule with access set to '-' is equivalent to no rule at all, they
may be safely hidden from the listing.

Casey Schaufler 1880eff77e Smack: onlycap limits on CAP_MAC_ADMIN
Smack is integrated with the POSIX capabilities scheme,
using the capabilities CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_MAC_ADMIN to
determine if a process is allowed to ignore Smack checks or
change Smack related data respectively. Smack provides an
additional restriction that if an onlycap value is set
by writing to /smack/onlycap only tasks with that Smack
label are allowed to use CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE.

This change adds CAP_MAC_ADMIN as a capability that is affected
by the onlycap mechanism.

In January of 2012 Al Viro pointed out three bits of code that
he titled "new_inode_smack bogosities". This patch repairs these
errors.

1. smack_sb_kern_mount() included a NULL check that is impossible.
   The check and NULL case are removed.
2. smack_kb_kern_mount() included pointless locking. The locking is
   removed. Since this is the only place that lock was used the lock
   is removed from the superblock_smack structure.
3. smk_fill_super() incorrectly and unnecessarily set the Smack label
   for the smackfs root inode. The assignment has been removed.

Casey Schaufler f7112e6c9a Smack: allow for significantly longer Smack labels v4
V4 updated to current linux-security#next
Targeted for git://gitorious.org/smack-next/kernel.git

Modern application runtime environments like to use
naming schemes that are structured and generated without
human intervention. Even though the Smack limit of 23
characters for a label name is perfectly rational for
human use there have been complaints that the limit is
a problem in environments where names are composed from
a set or sources, including vendor, author, distribution
channel and application name. Names like

	softwarehouse-pgwodehouse-coolappstore-mellowmuskrats

are becoming harder to avoid. This patch introduces long
label support in Smack. Labels are now limited to 255
characters instead of the old 23.

The primary reason for limiting the labels to 23 characters
was so they could be directly contained in CIPSO category sets.
This is still done were possible, but for labels that are too
large a mapping is required. This is perfectly safe for communication
that stays "on the box" and doesn't require much coordination
between boxes beyond what would have been required to keep label
names consistent.

The bulk of this patch is in smackfs, adding and updating
administrative interfaces. Because existing APIs can't be
changed new ones that do much the same things as old ones
have been introduced.

The Smack specific CIPSO data representation has been removed
and replaced with the data format used by netlabel. The CIPSO
header is now computed when a label is imported rather than
on use. This results in improved IP performance. The smack
label is now allocated separately from the containing structure,
allowing for larger strings.

Four new /smack interfaces have been introduced as four
of the old interfaces strictly required labels be specified
in fixed length arrays.

The access interface is supplemented with the check interface:
	access  "Subject                 Object                  rwxat"
	access2 "Subject Object rwaxt"

The load interface is supplemented with the rules interface:
	load   "Subject                 Object                  rwxat"
	load2  "Subject Object rwaxt"

The load-self interface is supplemented with the self-rules interface:
	load-self   "Subject                 Object                  rwxat"
	load-self2  "Subject Object rwaxt"

The cipso interface is supplemented with the wire interface:
	cipso  "Subject                  lvl cnt  c1  c2 ..."
	cipso2 "Subject lvl cnt  c1  c2 ..."

The old interfaces are maintained for compatibility.

I'm not sure, but can call trace happen where somewhere inside network

[PATCH] SMACK: Fix incorrect GFP_KERNEL usage.

new_inode_smack() which can be called from smack_inode_alloc_security() needs
to use GFP_NOFS like SELinux's inode_alloc_security() does, for
security_inode_alloc() is called from inode_init_always() and
inode_init_always() is called from xfs_inode_alloc() which is using GFP_NOFS.

smack_inode_init_security() needs to use GFP_NOFS like
selinux_inode_init_security() does, for initxattrs() callback function (e.g.
btrfs_initxattrs()) which is called from security_inode_init_security() is
using GFP_NOFS.

smack_audit_rule_match() needs to use GFP_ATOMIC, for
security_audit_rule_match() can be called from audit_filter_user_rules() and
audit_filter_user_rules() is called from audit_filter_user() with RCU read lock
held.

After shrinking the common_audit_data stack usage for private LSM data I'm

Casey Schaufler 272cd7a8c6 Smack: Rule list lookup performance
This patch is targeted for the smack-next tree.

Smack access checks suffer from two significant performance
issues. In cases where there are large numbers of rules the
search of the single list of rules is wasteful. Comparing the
string values of the smack labels is less efficient than a
numeric comparison would.

These changes take advantage of the Smack label list, which
maintains the mapping of Smack labels to secids and optional
CIPSO labels. Because the labels are kept perpetually, an
access check can be done strictly based on the address of the
label in the list without ever looking at the label itself.
Rather than keeping one global list of rules the rules with
a particular subject label can be based off of that label
list entry. The access check need never look at entries that
do not use the current subject label.

This requires that packets coming off the network with
CIPSO direct Smack labels that have never been seen before
be treated carefully. The only case where they could be
delivered is where the receiving socket has an IPIN star
label, so that case is explicitly addressed.

On a system with 39,800 rules (200 labels in all permutations)
a system with this patch runs an access speed test in 5% of
the time of the old version. That should be a best case
improvement. If all of the rules are associated with the
same subject label and all of the accesses are for processes
with that label (unlikely) the improvement is about 30%.

Casey Schaufler 75a25637bf Smack: correct final mmap check comparison
The mmap policy enforcement checks the access of the
SMACK64MMAP subject against the current subject incorrectly.
The check as written works correctly only if the access
rules involved have the same access. This is the common
case, so initial testing did not find a problem.

Casey Schaufler 0e0a070d3a Smack: correct behavior in the mmap hook
The mmap policy enforcement was not properly handling the
  interaction between the global and local rule lists.
  Instead of going through one and then the other, which
  missed the important case where a rule specified that
  there should be no access, combine the access limitations
  where there is a rule in each list.

Eric Paris 2a7dba391e fs/vfs/security: pass last path component to LSM on inode creation
SELinux would like to implement a new labeling behavior of newly created
inodes.  We currently label new inodes based on the parent and the creating
process.  This new behavior would also take into account the name of the
new object when deciding the new label.  This is not the (supposed) full path,
just the last component of the path.

This is very useful because creating /etc/shadow is different than creating
/etc/passwd but the kernel hooks are unable to differentiate these
operations.  We currently require that userspace realize it is doing some
difficult operation like that and than userspace jumps through SELinux hoops
to get things set up correctly.  This patch does not implement new
behavior, that is obviously contained in a seperate SELinux patch, but it
does pass the needed name down to the correct LSM hook.  If no such name
exists it is fine to pass NULL.

Casey Schaufler 7898e1f8e9 Subject: [PATCH] Smack: mmap controls for library containment
In the embedded world there are often situations
  where libraries are updated from a variety of sources,
  for a variety of reasons, and with any number of
  security characteristics. These differences
  might include privilege required for a given library
  provided interface to function properly, as occurs
  from time to time in graphics libraries. There are
  also cases where it is important to limit use of
  libraries based on the provider of the library and
  the security aware application may make choices
  based on that criteria.

  These issues are addressed by providing an additional
  Smack label that may optionally be assigned to an object,
  the SMACK64MMAP attribute. An mmap operation is allowed
  if there is no such attribute.

  If there is a SMACK64MMAP attribute the mmap is permitted
  only if a subject with that label has all of the access
  permitted a subject with the current task label.

  Security aware applications may from time to time
  wish to reduce their "privilege" to avoid accidental use
  of privilege. One case where this arises is the
  environment in which multiple sources provide libraries
  to perform the same functions. An application may know
  that it should eschew services made available from a
  particular vendor, or of a particular version.

  In support of this a secondary list of Smack rules has
  been added that is local to the task. This list is
  consulted only in the case where the global list has
  approved access. It can only further restrict access.
  Unlike the global last, if no entry is found on the
  local list access is granted. An application can add
  entries to its own list by writing to /smack/load-self.

  The changes appear large as they involve refactoring
  the list handling to accomodate there being more
  than one rule list.
