Linus Torvalds a66d2c8f7e Merge branch 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull the big VFS changes from Al Viro:
 "This one is *big* and changes quite a few things around VFS.  What's in there:

   - the first of two really major architecture changes - death to open
     intents.

     The former is finally there; it was very long in making, but with
     Miklos getting through really hard and messy final push in
     fs/namei.c, we finally have it.  Unlike his variant, this one
     doesn't introduce struct opendata; what we have instead is
     ->atomic_open() taking preallocated struct file * and passing
     everything via its fields.

     Instead of returning struct file *, it returns -E...  on error, 0
     on success and 1 in "deal with it yourself" case (e.g.  symlink
     found on server, etc.).

     See comments before fs/namei.c:atomic_open().  That made a lot of
     goodies finally possible and quite a few are in that pile:
     ->lookup(), ->d_revalidate() and ->create() do not get struct
     nameidata * anymore; ->lookup() and ->d_revalidate() get lookup
     flags instead, ->create() gets "do we want it exclusive" flag.

     With the introduction of new helper (kern_path_locked()) we are rid
     of all struct nameidata instances outside of fs/namei.c; it's still
     visible in namei.h, but not for long.  Come the next cycle,
     declaration will move either to fs/internal.h or to fs/namei.c
     itself.  [me, miklos, hch]

   - The second major change: behaviour of final fput().  Now we have
     __fput() done without any locks held by caller *and* not from deep
     in call stack.

     That obviously lifts a lot of constraints on the locking in there.
     Moreover, it's legal now to call fput() from atomic contexts (which
     has immediately simplified life for aio.c).  We also don't need
     anti-recursion logics in __scm_destroy() anymore.

     There is a price, though - the damn thing has become partially
     asynchronous.  For fput() from normal process we are guaranteed
     that pending __fput() will be done before the caller returns to
     userland, exits or gets stopped for ptrace.

     For kernel threads and atomic contexts it's done via
     schedule_work(), so theoretically we might need a way to make sure
     it's finished; so far only one such place had been found, but there
     might be more.

     There's flush_delayed_fput() (do all pending __fput()) and there's
     __fput_sync() (fput() analog doing __fput() immediately).  I hope
     we won't need them often; see warnings in fs/file_table.c for
     details.  [me, based on task_work series from Oleg merged last
     cycle]

   - sync series from Jan

   - large part of "death to sync_supers()" work from Artem; the only
     bits missing here are exofs and ext4 ones.  As far as I understand,
     those are going via the exofs and ext4 trees resp.; once they are
     in, we can put ->write_super() to the rest, along with the thread
     calling it.

   - preparatory bits from unionmount series (from dhowells).

   - assorted cleanups and fixes all over the place, as usual.

  This is not the last pile for this cycle; there's at least jlayton's
  ESTALE work and fsfreeze series (the latter - in dire need of fixes,
  so I'm not sure it'll make the cut this cycle).  I'll probably throw
  symlink/hardlink restrictions stuff from Kees into the next pile, too.
  Plus there's a lot of misc patches I hadn't thrown into that one -
  it's large enough as it is..."

Linus Torvalds e2f3b78557 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
Pull SELinux regression fixes from James Morris.

Andrew Morton has a box that hit that open perms problem.

I also renamed the "epollwakeup" selinux name for the new capability to
be "block_suspend", to match the rename done by commit d9914cf661
("PM: Rename CAP_EPOLLWAKEUP to CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND").

Eric Paris 2e33405785 SELinux: delay initialization of audit data in selinux_inode_permission
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.

Eric Paris aa893269de SELinux: allow default source/target selectors for user/role/range
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

Eric Paris 3b3b0e4fc1 LSM: shrink sizeof LSM specific portion of common_audit_data
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.

Eric Paris 9ade0cf440 SELINUX: Make selinux cache VFS RCU walks safe
Now that the security modules can decide whether they support the
dcache RCU walk or not it's possible to make selinux a bit more
RCU friendly.  The SELinux AVC and security server access decision
code is RCU safe.  A specific piece of the LSM audit code may not
be RCU safe.

This patch makes the VFS RCU walk retry if it would hit the non RCU
safe chunk of code.  It will normally just work under RCU.  This is
done simply by passing the VFS RCU state as a flag down into the
avc_audit() code and returning ECHILD there if it would have an issue.

Eric Paris 652bb9b0d6 SELinux: Use dentry name in new object labeling
Currently SELinux has rules which label new objects according to 3 criteria.
The label of the process creating the object, the label of the parent
directory, and the type of object (reg, dir, char, block, etc.)  This patch
adds a 4th criteria, the dentry name, thus we can distinguish between
creating a file in an etc_t directory called shadow and one called motd.

There is no file globbing, regex parsing, or anything mystical.  Either the
policy exactly (strcmp) matches the dentry name of the object or it doesn't.
This patch has no changes from today if policy does not implement the new
rules.

Eric Paris cee74f47a6 SELinux: allow userspace to read policy back out of the kernel
There is interest in being able to see what the actual policy is that was
loaded into the kernel.  The patch creates a new selinuxfs file
/selinux/policy which can be read by userspace.  The actual policy that is
loaded into the kernel will be written back out to userspace.

Eric Paris 2606fd1fa5 secmark: make secmark object handling generic
Right now secmark has lots of direct selinux calls.  Use all LSM calls and
remove all SELinux specific knowledge.  The only SELinux specific knowledge
we leave is the mode.  The only point is to make sure that other LSMs at
least test this generic code before they assume it works.  (They may also
have to make changes if they do not represent labels as strings)

KaiGai Kohei 1190416725 selinux: fast status update interface (/selinux/status)
This patch provides a new /selinux/status entry which allows applications
read-only mmap(2).
This region reflects selinux_kernel_status structure in kernel space.
  struct selinux_kernel_status
  {
          u32     length;         /* length of this structure */
          u32     sequence;       /* sequence number of seqlock logic */
          u32     enforcing;      /* current setting of enforcing mode */
          u32     policyload;     /* times of policy reloaded */
          u32     deny_unknown;   /* current setting of deny_unknown */
  };

When userspace object manager caches access control decisions provided
by SELinux, it needs to invalidate the cache on policy reload and setenforce
to keep consistency.
However, the applications need to check the kernel state for each accesses
on userspace avc, or launch a background worker process.
In heuristic, frequency of invalidation is much less than frequency of
making access control decision, so it is annoying to invoke a system call
to check we don't need to invalidate the userspace cache.
If we can use a background worker thread, it allows to receive invalidation
messages from the kernel. But it requires us an invasive coding toward the
base application in some cases; E.g, when we provide a feature performing
with SELinux as a plugin module, it is unwelcome manner to launch its own
worker thread from the module.

If we could map /selinux/status to process memory space, application can
know updates of selinux status; policy reload or setenforce.

A typical application checks selinux_kernel_status::sequence when it tries
to reference userspace avc. If it was changed from the last time when it
checked userspace avc, it means something was updated in the kernel space.
Then, the application can reset userspace avc or update current enforcing
mode, without any system call invocations.
This sequence number is updated according to the seqlock logic, so we need
to wait for a while if it is odd number.

Eric Paris b424485abe SELinux: Move execmod to the common perms
execmod "could" show up on non regular files and non chr files.  The current
implementation would actually make these checks against non-existant bits
since the code assumes the execmod permission is same for all file types.
To make this line up for chr files we had to define execute_no_trans and
entrypoint permissions.  These permissions are unreachable and only existed
to to make FILE__EXECMOD and CHR_FILE__EXECMOD the same.  This patch drops
those needless perms as well.

Eric Paris b782e0a68d SELinux: special dontaudit for access checks
Currently there are a number of applications (nautilus being the main one) which
calls access() on files in order to determine how they should be displayed.  It
is normal and expected that nautilus will want to see if files are executable
or if they are really read/write-able.  access() should return the real
permission.  SELinux policy checks are done in access() and can result in lots
of AVC denials as policy denies RWX on files which DAC allows.  Currently
SELinux must dontaudit actual attempts to read/write/execute a file in
order to silence these messages (and not flood the logs.)  But dontaudit rules
like that can hide real attacks.  This patch addes a new common file
permission audit_access.  This permission is special in that it is meaningless
and should never show up in an allow rule.  Instead the only place this
permission has meaning is in a dontaudit rule like so:

dontaudit nautilus_t sbin_t:file audit_access

With such a rule if nautilus just checks access() we will still get denied and
thus userspace will still get the correct answer but we will not log the denial.
If nautilus attempted to actually perform one of the forbidden actions
(rather than just querying access(2) about it) we would still log a denial.
This type of dontaudit rule should be used sparingly, as it could be a
method for an attacker to probe the system permissions without detection.

Stephen Smalley 19439d05b8 selinux: change the handling of unknown classes
If allow_unknown==deny, SELinux treats an undefined kernel security
class as an error condition rather than as a typical permission denial
and thus does not allow permissions on undefined classes even when in
permissive mode.  Change the SELinux logic so that this case is handled
as a typical permission denial, subject to the usual permissive mode and
permissive domain handling.

Also drop the 'requested' argument from security_compute_av() and
helpers as it is a legacy of the original security server interface and
is unused.

Changes:
- Handle permissive domains consistently by moving up the test for a
permissive domain.
- Make security_compute_av_user() consistent with security_compute_av();
the only difference now is that security_compute_av() performs mapping
between the kernel-private class and permission indices and the policy
values.  In the userspace case, this mapping is handled by libselinux.
- Moved avd_init inside the policy lock.

Based in part on a patch by Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com>.
