Joel Granados d7a76ec871 sysctl: Remove check for sentinel element in ctl_table arrays
Use ARRAY_SIZE exclusively by removing the check to ->procname in the
stopping criteria of the loops traversing ctl_table arrays. This commit
finalizes the removal of the sentinel elements at the end of ctl_table
arrays which reduces the build time size and run time memory bloat by
~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Remove the entry->procname evaluation from the for loop stopping
criteria in sysctl and sysctl_net.

Thomas WeißschuhandJoel Granados 795f90c6f1 sysctl: treewide: constify argument ctl_table_root::permissions(table)
The permissions callback should not modify the ctl_table. Enforce this
expectation via the typesystem. This is a step to put "struct ctl_table"
into .rodata throughout the kernel.

The patch was created with the following coccinelle script:

  @@
  identifier func, head, ctl;
  @@

  int func(
    struct ctl_table_header *head,
  - struct ctl_table *ctl)
  + const struct ctl_table *ctl)
  { ... }

(insert_entry() from fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c is a false-positive)

No additional occurrences of '.permissions =' were found after a
tree-wide search for places missed by the conccinelle script.

Thomas WeißschuhandJoel Granados 520713a93d sysctl: treewide: drop unused argument ctl_table_root::set_ownership(table)
Remove the 'table' argument from set_ownership as it is never used. This
change is a step towards putting "struct ctl_table" into .rodata and
eventually having sysctl core only use "const struct ctl_table".

The patch was created with the following coccinelle script:

No additional occurrences of 'set_ownership' were found after doing a

Joel GranadosandLuis Chamberlain 95d4977876 sysctl: Add size to register_net_sysctl function
This commit adds size to the register_net_sysctl indirection function to
facilitate the removal of the sentinel elements (last empty markers)
from the ctl_table arrays. Though we don't actually remove any sentinels
in this commit, register_net_sysctl* now has the capability of
forwarding table_size for when that happens.

We create a new function register_net_sysctl_sz with an extra size
argument. A macro replaces the existing register_net_sysctl. The size in
the macro is SIZE_MAX instead of ARRAY_SIZE to avoid compilation errors
while we systematically migrate to register_net_sysctl_sz. Will change
to ARRAY_SIZE in subsequent commits.

Care is taken to add table_size to the stopping criteria in such a way
that when we remove the empty sentinel element, it will continue
stopping in the last element of the ctl_table array.

Joel GranadosandLuis Chamberlain 9edbfe92a0 sysctl: Add size to register_sysctl
This commit adds table_size to register_sysctl in preparation for the
removal of the sentinel elements in the ctl_table arrays (last empty
markers). And though we do *not* remove any sentinels in this commit, we
set things up by either passing the table_size explicitly or using
ARRAY_SIZE on the ctl_table arrays.

We replace the register_syctl function with a macro that will add the
ARRAY_SIZE to the new register_sysctl_sz function. In this way the
callers that are already using an array of ctl_table structs do not
change. For the callers that pass a ctl_table array pointer, we pass the
table_size to register_sysctl_sz instead of the macro.

Joel GranadosandLuis Chamberlain bff97cf11b sysctl: Add a size arg to __register_sysctl_table
We make these changes in order to prepare __register_sysctl_table and
its callers for when we remove the sentinel element (empty element at
the end of ctl_table arrays). We don't actually remove any sentinels in
this commit, but we *do* make sure to use ARRAY_SIZE so the table_size
is available when the removal occurs.

We add a table_size argument to __register_sysctl_table and adjust
callers, all of which pass ctl_table pointers and need an explicit call
to ARRAY_SIZE. We implement a size calculation in register_net_sysctl in
order to forward the size of the array pointer received from the network
register calls.

The new table_size argument does not yet have any effect in the
init_header call which is still dependent on the sentinel's presence.
table_size *does* however drive the `kzalloc` allocation in
__register_sysctl_table with no adverse effects as the allocated memory
is either one element greater than the calculated ctl_table array (for
the calls in ipc_sysctl.c, mq_sysctl.c and ucount.c) or the exact size
of the calculated ctl_table array (for the call from sysctl_net.c and
register_sysctl). This approach will allows us to "just" remove the
sentinel without further changes to __register_sysctl_table as
table_size will represent the exact size for all the callers at that
point.

Jonathon ReinhartandDavid S. Miller 31c4d2f160 net: Ensure net namespace isolation of sysctls
This adds an ensure_safe_net_sysctl() check during register_net_sysctl()
to validate that sysctl table entries for a non-init_net netns are
sufficiently isolated. To be netns-safe, an entry must adhere to at
least (and usually exactly) one of these rules:

1. It is marked read-only inside the netns.
2. Its data pointer does not point to kernel/module global data.

An entry which fails both of these checks is indicative of a bug,
whereby a child netns can affect global net sysctl values.

If such an entry is found, this code will issue a warning to the kernel
log, and force the entry to be read-only to prevent a leak.

To test, simply create a new netns:

    $ sudo ip netns add dummy

As it sits now, this patch will WARN for two sysctls which will be
addressed in a subsequent patch:
- /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_max
- /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_expect_max

Linus Torvalds 14986a34e1 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes is a number of smaller things that have been
  overlooked in other development cycles focused on more fundamental
  change. The devpts changes are small things that were a distraction
  until we managed to kill off DEVPTS_MULTPLE_INSTANCES. There is an
  trivial regression fix to autofs for the unprivileged mount changes
  that went in last cycle. A pair of ioctls has been added by Andrey
  Vagin making it is possible to discover the relationships between
  namespaces when referring to them through file descriptors.

  The big user visible change is starting to add simple resource limits
  to catch programs that misbehave. With namespaces in general and user
  namespaces in particular allowing users to use more kinds of
  resources, it has become important to have something to limit errant
  programs. Because the purpose of these limits is to catch errant
  programs the code needs to be inexpensive to use as it always on, and
  the default limits need to be high enough that well behaved programs
  on well behaved systems don't encounter them.

  To this end, after some review I have implemented per user per user
  namespace limits, and use them to limit the number of namespaces. The
  limits being per user mean that one user can not exhause the limits of
  another user. The limits being per user namespace allow contexts where
  the limit is 0 and security conscious folks can remove from their
  threat anlysis the code used to manage namespaces (as they have
  historically done as it root only). At the same time the limits being
  per user namespace allow other parts of the system to use namespaces.

  Namespaces are increasingly being used in application sand boxing
  scenarios so an all or nothing disable for the entire system for the
  security conscious folks makes increasing use of these sandboxes
  impossible.

  There is also added a limit on the maximum number of mounts present in
  a single mount namespace. It is nontrivial to guess what a reasonable
  system wide limit on the number of mount structure in the kernel would
  be, especially as it various based on how a system is using
  containers. A limit on the number of mounts in a mount namespace
  however is much easier to understand and set. In most cases in
  practice only about 1000 mounts are used. Given that some autofs
  scenarious have the potential to be 30,000 to 50,000 mounts I have set
  the default limit for the number of mounts at 100,000 which is well
  above every known set of users but low enough that the mount hash
  tables don't degrade unreaonsably.

  These limits are a start. I expect this estabilishes a pattern that
  other limits for resources that namespaces use will follow. There has
  been interest in making inotify event limits per user per user
  namespace as well as interest expressed in making details about what
  is going on in the kernel more visible"

Tyler HicksandDavid S. Miller d6169b0206 net: Use ns_capable_noaudit() when determining net sysctl permissions
The capability check should not be audited since it is only being used
to determine the inode permissions. A failed check does not indicate a
violation of security policy but, when an LSM is enabled, a denial audit
message was being generated.

The denial audit message caused confusion for some application authors
because root-running Go applications always triggered the denial. To
prevent this confusion, the capability check in net_ctl_permissions() is
switched to the noaudit variant.

If net namespace is attached to a user namespace let's make container's
root owner of sysctls affecting said network namespace instead of global
root.

This also allows us to clean up net_ctl_permissions() because we do not
need to fudge permissions anymore for the container's owner since it now
owns the objects in question.

Eric W. BiedermanandDavid S. Miller cff109768b net: Update the per network namespace sysctls to be available to the network namespace owner
- Allow anyone with CAP_NET_ADMIN rights in the user namespace of the
  the netowrk namespace to change sysctls.
- Allow anyone the uid of the user namespace root the same
  permissions over the network namespace sysctls as the global root.
- Allow anyone with gid of the user namespace root group the same
  permissions over the network namespace sysctl as the global root group.

Eric W. BiedermanandDavid S. Miller 73f7ef4359 sysctl: Pass useful parameters to sysctl permissions
- Current is implicitly avaiable so passing current->nsproxy isn't useful.
- The ctl_table_header is needed to find how the sysctl table is connected
  to the rest of sysctl.
- ctl_table_root is avaiable in the ctl_table_header so no need to it.

With these changes it becomes possible to write a version of
net_sysctl_permission that takes into account the network namespace of
the sysctl table, an important feature in extending the user namespace.

Paul Gortmaker 211ed86510 net: delete all instances of special processing for token ring
We are going to delete the Token ring support.  This removes any
special processing in the core networking for token ring, (aside
from net/tr.c itself), leaving the drivers and remaining tokenring
support present but inert.

The mass removal of the drivers and net/tr.c will be in a separate
commit, so that the history of these files that we still care
about won't have the giant deletion tied into their history.

Eric W. BiedermanandDavid S. Miller 4344475797 net: Kill register_sysctl_rotable
register_sysctl_rotable never caught on as an interesting way to
register sysctls.  My take on the situation is that what we want are
sysctls that we can only see in the initial network namespace.  What we
have implemented with register_sysctl_rotable are sysctls that we can
see in all of the network namespaces and can only change in the initial
network namespace.

That is a very silly way to go.  Just register the network sysctls
in the initial network namespace and we don't have any weird special
cases to deal with.

The sysctls affected are:
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ipfrag_secret_interval
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ipfrag_max_dist
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/ip6frag_secret_interval
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/mld_max_msf

I really don't expect anyone will miss them if they can't read them in a
child user namespace.

Eric W. BiedermanandDavid S. Miller 2ca794e5e8 net sysctl: Initialize the network sysctls sooner to avoid problems.
If the netfilter code is modified to use register_net_sysctl_table the
kernel fails to boot because the per net sysctl infrasturce is not setup
soon enough.  So to avoid races call net_sysctl_init from sock_init().

Eric W. BiedermanandDavid S. Miller bc8a36942a net sysctl: Register an empty /proc/sys/net
Implementation limitations of the sysctl core won't let /proc/sys/net
reside in a network namespace.  /proc/sys/net at least must be registered
as a normal sysctl.  So register /proc/sys/net early as an empty directory
to guarantee we don't violate this constraint and hit bugs in the sysctl
implementation.
