Eric SuenandPaul Moore 5473a722f7 selinux: add support for BPF token access control
BPF token support was introduced to allow a privileged process to delegate
limited BPF functionality—such as map creation and program loading—to
an unprivileged process:
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-security-module/20231130185229.2688956-1-andrii@kernel.org/

This patch adds SELinux support for controlling BPF token access. With
this change, SELinux policies can now enforce constraints on BPF token
usage based on both the delegating (privileged) process and the recipient
(unprivileged) process.

Supported operations currently include:
  - map_create
  - prog_load

High-level workflow:
  1. An unprivileged process creates a VFS context via `fsopen()` and
     obtains a file descriptor.
  2. This descriptor is passed to a privileged process, which configures
     BPF token delegation options and mounts a BPF filesystem.
  3. SELinux records the `creator_sid` of the privileged process during
     mount setup.
  4. The unprivileged process then uses this BPF fs mount to create a
     token and attach it to subsequent BPF syscalls.
  5. During verification of `map_create` and `prog_load`, SELinux uses
     `creator_sid` and the current SID to check policy permissions via:
       avc_has_perm(creator_sid, current_sid, SECCLASS_BPF,
                    BPF__MAP_CREATE, NULL);

The implementation introduces two new permissions:
  - map_create_as
  - prog_load_as

At token creation time, SELinux verifies that the current process has the
appropriate `*_as` permission (depending on the `allowed_cmds` value in
the bpf_token) to act on behalf of the `creator_sid`.

Example SELinux policy:
  allow test_bpf_t self:bpf {
      map_create map_read map_write prog_load prog_run
      map_create_as prog_load_as
  };

Additionally, a new policy capability bpf_token_perms is added to ensure
backward compatibility. If disabled, previous behavior ((checks based on
current process SID)) is preserved.

Thiébaud WeksteenandPaul Moore 094e94d13b memfd,selinux: call security_inode_init_security_anon()
Prior to this change, no security hooks were called at the creation of a
memfd file. It means that, for SELinux as an example, it will receive
the default type of the filesystem that backs the in-memory inode. In
most cases, that would be tmpfs, but if MFD_HUGETLB is passed, it will
be hugetlbfs. Both can be considered implementation details of memfd.

It also means that it is not possible to differentiate between a file
coming from memfd_create and a file coming from a standard tmpfs mount
point.

Additionally, no permission is validated at creation, which differs from
the similar memfd_secret syscall.

Call security_inode_init_security_anon during creation. This ensures
that the file is setup similarly to other anonymous inodes. On SELinux,
it means that the file will receive the security context of its task.

The ability to limit fexecve on memfd has been of interest to avoid
potential pitfalls where /proc/self/exe or similar would be executed
[1][2]. Reuse the "execute_no_trans" and "entrypoint" access vectors,
similarly to the file class. These access vectors may not make sense for
the existing "anon_inode" class. Therefore, define and assign a new
class "memfd_file" to support such access vectors.

Guard these changes behind a new policy capability named "memfd_class".

Kuniyuki IwashimaandJakub Kicinski 2a63dd0edf net: Retire DCCP socket.
DCCP was orphaned in 2021 by commit 054c4610bd ("MAINTAINERS: dccp:
move Gerrit Renker to CREDITS"), which noted that the last maintainer
had been inactive for five years.

In recent years, it has become a playground for syzbot, and most changes
to DCCP have been odd bug fixes triggered by syzbot.  Apart from that,
the only changes have been driven by treewide or networking API updates
or adjustments related to TCP.

Thus, in 2023, we announced we would remove DCCP in 2025 via commit
b144fcaf46 ("dccp: Print deprecation notice.").

Since then, only one individual has contacted the netdev mailing list. [0]

There is ongoing research for Multipath DCCP.  The repository is hosted
on GitHub [1], and development is not taking place through the upstream
community.  While the repository is published under the GPLv2 license,
the scheduling part remains proprietary, with a LICENSE file [2] stating:

  "This is not Open Source software."

The researcher mentioned a plan to address the licensing issue, upstream
the patches, and step up as a maintainer, but there has been no further
communication since then.

Maintaining DCCP for a decade without any real users has become a burden.

Therefore, it's time to remove it.

Removing DCCP will also provide significant benefits to TCP.  It allows
us to freely reorganize the layout of struct inet_connection_sock, which
is currently shared with DCCP, and optimize it to reduce the number of
cachelines accessed in the TCP fast path.

Note that we keep DCCP netfilter modules as requested.  [3]

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:

 - Add additional SELinux access controls for kernel file reads/loads

   The SELinux kernel file read/load access controls were never updated
   beyond the initial kernel module support, this pull request adds
   support for firmware, kexec, policies, and x.509 certificates.

 - Add support for wildcards in network interface names

   There are a number of userspace tools which auto-generate network
   interface names using some pattern of <XXXX>-<NN> where <XXXX> is a
   fixed string, e.g. "podman", and <NN> is a increasing counter.
   Supporting wildcards in the SELinux policy for network interfaces
   simplifies the policy associted with these interfaces.

 - Fix a potential problem in the kernel read file SELinux code

   SELinux should always check the file label in the
   security_kernel_read_file() LSM hook, regardless of if the file is
   being read in chunks. Unfortunately, the existing code only
   considered the file label on the first chunk; this pull request fixes
   this problem.

   There is more detail in the individual commit, but thankfully the
   existing code didn't expose a bug due to multi-stage reads only
   taking place in one driver, and that driver loading a file type that
   isn't targeted by the SELinux policy.

 - Fix the subshell error handling in the example policy loader

   Minor fix to SELinux example policy loader in scripts/selinux due to
   an undesired interaction with subshells and errexit.

   Changes include marking trivial Rust bindings as inlines and comment

 - Add LSM/SELinux access controls to io_uring_allowed()

   Similar to the io_uring_disabled sysctl, add a LSM hook to

   policy on the use of io_uring. This pull request includes SELinux

 - Remove an unused parameter from the security_perf_event_open() hook

   The perf_event_attr struct parameter was not used by any currently
   supported LSMs, remove it from the hook.

 - Add an explicit MAINTAINERS entry for the credentials code

   We've seen problems in the past where patches to the credentials code
   sent by non-maintainers would often languish on the lists for
   multiple months as there was no one explicitly tasked with the
   responsibility of reviewing and/or merging credentials related code.

   Considering that most of the code under security/ has a vested
   interest in ensuring that the credentials code is well maintained,
   I'm volunteering to look after the credentials code and Serge Hallyn
   has also volunteered to step up as an official reviewer. I posted the
   MAINTAINERS update as a RFC to LKML in hopes that someone else would
   jump up with an "I'll do it!", but beyond Serge it was all crickets.

Thiébaud WeksteenandPaul Moore d1d991efaf selinux: Add netlink xperm support
Reuse the existing extended permissions infrastructure to support
policies based on the netlink message types.

A new policy capability "netlink_xperm" is introduced. When disabled,
the previous behaviour is preserved. That is, netlink_send will rely on
the permission mappings defined in nlmsgtab.c (e.g, nlmsg_read for
RTM_GETADDR on NETLINK_ROUTE). When enabled, the mappings are ignored
and the generic "nlmsg" permission is used instead.

The new "nlmsg" permission is an extended permission. The 16 bits of the
extended permission are mapped to the nlmsg_type field.

Example policy on Android, preventing regular apps from accessing the
device's MAC address and ARP table, but allowing this access to
privileged apps, looks as follows:

allow netdomain self:netlink_route_socket {
	create read getattr write setattr lock append connect getopt
	setopt shutdown nlmsg
};
allowxperm netdomain self:netlink_route_socket nlmsg ~{
	RTM_GETLINK RTM_GETNEIGH RTM_GETNEIGHTBL
};
allowxperm priv_app self:netlink_route_socket nlmsg {
	RTM_GETLINK RTM_GETNEIGH RTM_GETNEIGHTBL
};

The constants in the example above (e.g., RTM_GETLINK) are explicitly
defined in the policy.

It is possible to generate policies to support kernels that may or
may not have the capability enabled by generating a rule for each
scenario. For instance:

allow domain self:netlink_audit_socket nlmsg_read;
allow domain self:netlink_audit_socket nlmsg;
allowxperm domain self:netlink_audit_socket nlmsg { AUDIT_GET };

The approach of defining a new permission ("nlmsg") instead of relying
on the existing permissions (e.g., "nlmsg_read", "nlmsg_readpriv" or
"nlmsg_tty_audit") has been preferred because:
  1. This is similar to the other extended permission ("ioctl");
  2. With the new extended permission, the coarse-grained mapping is not
     necessary anymore. It could eventually be removed, which would be
     impossible if the extended permission was defined below these.
  3. Having a single extra extended permission considerably simplifies
     the implementation here and in libselinux.

Masahiro YamadaandPaul Moore 541b57e313 selinux: do not include <linux/*.h> headers from host programs
The header, security/selinux/include/classmap.h, is included not only
from kernel space but also from host programs.

It includes <linux/capability.h> and <linux/socket.h>, which pull in
more <linux/*.h> headers. This makes the host programs less portable,
specifically causing build errors on macOS.

Those headers are included for the following purposes:

 - <linux/capability.h> for checking CAP_LAST_CAP
 - <linux/socket.h> for checking PF_MAX

These checks can be guarded by __KERNEL__ so they are skipped when
building host programs. Testing them when building the kernel should
be sufficient.

The header, security/selinux/include/initial_sid_to_string.h, includes
<linux/stddef.h> for the NULL definition, but this is not portable
either. Instead, <stddef.h> should be included for host programs.

Pull LSM updates from Paul Moore:
 "Seven patches for the LSM layer and we've got a mix of trivial and
  significant patches. Highlights below, starting with the smaller bits
  first so they don't get lost in the discussion of the larger items:

   - Remove some redundant NULL pointer checks in the common LSM audit
     code.

   - Ratelimit the lockdown LSM's access denial messages.

     With this change there is a chance that the last visible lockdown
     message on the console is outdated/old, but it does help preserve
     the initial series of lockdown denials that started the denial
     message flood and my gut feeling is that these might be the more
     valuable messages.

   - Open userfaultfds as readonly instead of read/write.

     While this code obviously lives outside the LSM, it does have a
     noticeable impact on the LSMs with Ondrej explaining the situation
     in the commit description. It is worth noting that this patch
     languished on the VFS list for over a year without any comments
     (objections or otherwise) so I took the liberty of pulling it into
     the LSM tree after giving fair notice. It has been in linux-next
     since the end of August without any noticeable problems.

   - Add a LSM hook for user namespace creation, with implementations
     for both the BPF LSM and SELinux.

     Even though the changes are fairly small, this is the bulk of the
     diffstat as we are also including BPF LSM selftests for the new
     hook.

     It's also the most contentious of the changes in this pull request
     with Eric Biederman NACK'ing the LSM hook multiple times during its
     development and discussion upstream. While I've never taken NACK's
     lightly, I'm sending these patches to you because it is my belief
     that they are of good quality, satisfy a long-standing need of
     users and distros, and are in keeping with the existing nature of
     the LSM layer and the Linux Kernel as a whole.

     The patches in implement a LSM hook for user namespace creation
     that allows for a granular approach, configurable at runtime, which
     enables both monitoring and control of user namespaces. The general
     consensus has been that this is far preferable to the other
     solutions that have been adopted downstream including outright
     removal from the kernel, disabling via system wide sysctls, or
     various other out-of-tree mechanisms that users have been forced to
     adopt since we haven't been able to provide them an upstream
     solution for their requests. Eric has been steadfast in his
     objections to this LSM hook, explaining that any restrictions on
     the user namespace could have significant impact on userspace.
     While there is the possibility of impacting userspace, it is
     important to note that this solution only impacts userspace when it
     is requested based on the runtime configuration supplied by the
     distro/admin/user. Frederick (the pathset author), the LSM/security
     community, and myself have tried to work with Eric during
     development of this patchset to find a mutually acceptable
     solution, but Eric's approach and unwillingness to engage in a
     meaningful way have made this impossible. I have CC'd Eric directly
     on this pull request so he has a chance to provide his side of the
     story; there have been no objections outside of Eric's"

Paul Moore f5d0e5e9d7 selinux: remove the SELinux lockdown implementation
NOTE: This patch intentionally omits any "Fixes:" metadata or stable
tagging since it removes a SELinux access control check; while
removing the control point is the right thing to do moving forward,
removing it in stable kernels could be seen as a regression.

The original SELinux lockdown implementation in 59438b4647
("security,lockdown,selinux: implement SELinux lockdown") used the
current task's credentials as both the subject and object in the
SELinux lockdown hook, selinux_lockdown().  Unfortunately that
proved to be incorrect in a number of cases as the core kernel was
calling the LSM lockdown hook in places where the credentials from
the "current" task_struct were not the correct credentials to use
in the SELinux access check.

Attempts were made to resolve this by adding a credential pointer
to the LSM lockdown hook as well as suggesting that the single hook
be split into two: one for user tasks, one for kernel tasks; however
neither approach was deemed acceptable by Linus.  Faced with the
prospect of either changing the subj/obj in the access check to a
constant context (likely the kernel's label) or removing the SELinux
lockdown check entirely, the SELinux community decided that removing
the lockdown check was preferable.

The supporting changes to the general LSM layer are left intact, this
patch only removes the SELinux implementation.

Paul Moore 740b03414b selinux: add support for the io_uring access controls
This patch implements two new io_uring access controls, specifically
support for controlling the io_uring "personalities" and
IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL.  Controlling the sharing of io_urings themselves
is handled via the normal file/inode labeling and sharing mechanisms.

The io_uring { override_creds } permission restricts which domains
the subject domain can use to override it's own credentials.
Granting a domain the io_uring { override_creds } permission allows
it to impersonate another domain in io_uring operations.

The io_uring { sqpoll } permission restricts which domains can create
asynchronous io_uring polling threads.  This is important from a
security perspective as operations queued by this asynchronous thread
inherit the credentials of the thread creator by default; if an
io_uring is shared across process/domain boundaries this could result
in one domain impersonating another.  Controlling the creation of
sqpoll threads, and the sharing of io_urings across processes, allow
policy authors to restrict the ability of one domain to impersonate
another via io_uring.

As a quick summary, this patch adds a new object class with two
permissions:

 io_uring { override_creds sqpoll }

These permissions can be seen in the two simple policy statements
below:

  allow domA_t domB_t : io_uring { override_creds };
  allow domA_t self : io_uring { sqpoll };

Paul Moore e4c82eafb6 selinux: add proper NULL termination to the secclass_map permissions
This patch adds the missing NULL termination to the "bpf" and
"perf_event" object class permission lists.

This missing NULL termination should really only affect the tools
under scripts/selinux, with the most important being genheaders.c,
although in practice this has not been an issue on any of my dev/test
systems.  If the problem were to manifest itself it would likely
result in bogus permissions added to the end of the object class;
thankfully with no access control checks using these bogus
permissions and no policies defining these permissions the impact
would likely be limited to some noise about undefined permissions
during policy load.

Daniel ColascioneandPaul Moore 29cd6591ab selinux: teach SELinux about anonymous inodes
This change uses the anon_inodes and LSM infrastructure introduced in
the previous patches to give SELinux the ability to control
anonymous-inode files that are created using the new
anon_inode_getfd_secure() function.

A SELinux policy author detects and controls these anonymous inodes by
adding a name-based type_transition rule that assigns a new security
type to anonymous-inode files created in some domain. The name used
for the name-based transition is the name associated with the
anonymous inode for file listings --- e.g., "[userfaultfd]" or
"[perf_event]".

Example:

type uffd_t;
type_transition sysadm_t sysadm_t : anon_inode uffd_t "[userfaultfd]";
allow sysadm_t uffd_t:anon_inode { create };

(The next patch in this series is necessary for making userfaultfd
support this new interface.  The example above is just
for exposition.)

Adrian ReberandChristian Brauner 124ea650d3 capabilities: Introduce CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE
This patch introduces CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE, a new capability facilitating
checkpoint/restore for non-root users.

Over the last years, The CRIU (Checkpoint/Restore In Userspace) team has
been asked numerous times if it is possible to checkpoint/restore a
process as non-root. The answer usually was: 'almost'.

The main blocker to restore a process as non-root was to control the PID
of the restored process. This feature available via the clone3 system
call, or via /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid is unfortunately guarded by
CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

In the past two years, requests for non-root checkpoint/restore have
increased due to the following use cases:
* Checkpoint/Restore in an HPC environment in combination with a
  resource manager distributing jobs where users are always running as
  non-root. There is a desire to provide a way to checkpoint and
  restore long running jobs.
* Container migration as non-root
* We have been in contact with JVM developers who are integrating
  CRIU into a Java VM to decrease the startup time. These
  checkpoint/restore applications are not meant to be running with
  CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

We have seen the following workarounds:
* Use a setuid wrapper around CRIU:
  See https://github.com/FredHutch/slurm-examples/blob/master/checkpointer/lib/checkpointer/checkpointer-suid.c
* Use a setuid helper that writes to ns_last_pid.
  Unfortunately, this helper delegation technique is impossible to use
  with clone3, and is thus prone to races.
  See https://github.com/twosigma/set_ns_last_pid
* Cycle through PIDs with fork() until the desired PID is reached:
  This has been demonstrated to work with cycling rates of 100,000 PIDs/s
  See https://github.com/twosigma/set_ns_last_pid
* Patch out the CAP_SYS_ADMIN check from the kernel
* Run the desired application in a new user and PID namespace to provide
  a local CAP_SYS_ADMIN for controlling PIDs. This technique has limited
  use in typical container environments (e.g., Kubernetes) as /proc is
  typically protected with read-only layers (e.g., /proc/sys) for
  hardening purposes. Read-only layers prevent additional /proc mounts
  (due to proc's SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE property), making the use of new
  PID namespaces limited as certain applications need access to /proc
  matching their PID namespace.

The introduced capability allows to:
* Control PIDs when the current user is CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE capable
  for the corresponding PID namespace via ns_last_pid/clone3.
* Open files in /proc/pid/map_files when the current user is
  CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE capable in the root namespace, useful for
  recovering files that are unreachable via the file system such as
  deleted files, or memfd files.

See corresponding selftest for an example with clone3().

Alexei StarovoitovandDaniel Borkmann a17b53c4a4 bpf, capability: Introduce CAP_BPF
Split BPF operations that are allowed under CAP_SYS_ADMIN into
combination of CAP_BPF, CAP_PERFMON, CAP_NET_ADMIN.
For backward compatibility include them in CAP_SYS_ADMIN as well.

The end result provides simple safety model for applications that use BPF:
- to load tracing program types
  BPF_PROG_TYPE_{KPROBE, TRACEPOINT, PERF_EVENT, RAW_TRACEPOINT, etc}
  use CAP_BPF and CAP_PERFMON
- to load networking program types
  BPF_PROG_TYPE_{SCHED_CLS, XDP, SK_SKB, etc}
  use CAP_BPF and CAP_NET_ADMIN

There are few exceptions from this rule:
- bpf_trace_printk() is allowed in networking programs, but it's using
  tracing mechanism, hence this helper needs additional CAP_PERFMON
  if networking program is using this helper.
- BPF_F_ZERO_SEED flag for hash/lru map is allowed under CAP_SYS_ADMIN only
  to discourage production use.
- BPF HW offload is allowed under CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
- bpf_probe_write_user() is allowed under CAP_SYS_ADMIN only.

CAPs are not checked at attach/detach time with two exceptions:
- loading BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB is allowed for unprivileged users,
  hence CAP_NET_ADMIN is required at attach time.
- flow_dissector detach doesn't check prog FD at detach,
  hence CAP_NET_ADMIN is required at detach time.

CAP_SYS_ADMIN is required to iterate BPF objects (progs, maps, links) via get_next_id
command and convert them to file descriptor via GET_FD_BY_ID command.
This restriction guarantees that mutliple tasks with CAP_BPF are not able to
affect each other. That leads to clean isolation of tasks. For example:
task A with CAP_BPF and CAP_NET_ADMIN loads and attaches a firewall via bpf_link.
task B with the same capabilities cannot detach that firewall unless
task A explicitly passed link FD to task B via scm_rights or bpffs.
CAP_SYS_ADMIN can still detach/unload everything.

Two networking user apps with CAP_SYS_ADMIN and CAP_NET_ADMIN can
accidentely mess with each other programs and maps.
Two networking user apps with CAP_NET_ADMIN and CAP_BPF cannot affect each other.

CAP_NET_ADMIN + CAP_BPF allows networking programs access only packet data.
Such networking progs cannot access arbitrary kernel memory or leak pointers.

bpftool, bpftrace, bcc tools binaries should NOT be installed with
CAP_BPF and CAP_PERFMON, since unpriv users will be able to read kernel secrets.
But users with these two permissions will be able to use these tracing tools.

CAP_PERFMON is least secure, since it allows kprobes and kernel memory access.
CAP_NET_ADMIN can stop network traffic via iproute2.
CAP_BPF is the safest from security point of view and harmless on its own.

Having CAP_BPF and/or CAP_NET_ADMIN is not enough to write into arbitrary map
and if that map is used by firewall-like bpf prog.
CAP_BPF allows many bpf prog_load commands in parallel. The verifier
may consume large amount of memory and significantly slow down the system.

Existing unprivileged BPF operations are not affected.
In particular unprivileged users are allowed to load socket_filter and cg_skb
program types and to create array, hash, prog_array, map-in-map map types.

Alexey BudankovandArnaldo Carvalho de Melo 9807372822 capabilities: Introduce CAP_PERFMON to kernel and user space
Introduce the CAP_PERFMON capability designed to secure system
performance monitoring and observability operations so that CAP_PERFMON
can assist CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in its governing role for
performance monitoring and observability subsystems.

CAP_PERFMON hardens system security and integrity during performance
monitoring and observability operations by decreasing attack surface that
is available to a CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileged process [2]. Providing the access
to system performance monitoring and observability operations under CAP_PERFMON
capability singly, without the rest of CAP_SYS_ADMIN credentials, excludes
chances to misuse the credentials and makes the operation more secure.

Thus, CAP_PERFMON implements the principle of least privilege for
performance monitoring and observability operations (POSIX IEEE 1003.1e:
2.2.2.39 principle of least privilege: A security design principle that
  states that a process or program be granted only those privileges
(e.g., capabilities) necessary to accomplish its legitimate function,
and only for the time that such privileges are actually required)

CAP_PERFMON meets the demand to secure system performance monitoring and
observability operations for adoption in security sensitive, restricted,
multiuser production environments (e.g. HPC clusters, cloud and virtual compute
environments), where root or CAP_SYS_ADMIN credentials are not available to
mass users of a system, and securely unblocks applicability and scalability
of system performance monitoring and observability operations beyond root
and CAP_SYS_ADMIN use cases.

CAP_PERFMON takes over CAP_SYS_ADMIN credentials related to system performance
monitoring and observability operations and balances amount of CAP_SYS_ADMIN
credentials following the recommendations in the capabilities man page [1]
for CAP_SYS_ADMIN: "Note: this capability is overloaded; see Notes to kernel
developers, below." For backward compatibility reasons access to system
performance monitoring and observability subsystems of the kernel remains
open for CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileged processes but CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability
usage for secure system performance monitoring and observability operations
is discouraged with respect to the designed CAP_PERFMON capability.

Although the software running under CAP_PERFMON can not ensure avoidance
of related hardware issues, the software can still mitigate these issues
following the official hardware issues mitigation procedure [2]. The bugs
in the software itself can be fixed following the standard kernel development
process [3] to maintain and harden security of system performance monitoring
and observability operations.

Stephen SmalleyandPaul Moore 59438b4647 security,lockdown,selinux: implement SELinux lockdown
Implement a SELinux hook for lockdown.  If the lockdown module is also
enabled, then a denial by the lockdown module will take precedence over
SELinux, so SELinux can only further restrict lockdown decisions.
The SELinux hook only distinguishes at the granularity of integrity
versus confidentiality similar to the lockdown module, but includes the
full lockdown reason as part of the audit record as a hint in diagnosing
what triggered the denial.  To support this auditing, move the
lockdown_reasons[] string array from being private to the lockdown
module to the security framework so that it can be used by the lsm audit
code and so that it is always available even when the lockdown module
is disabled.

Note that the SELinux implementation allows the integrity and
confidentiality reasons to be controlled independently from one another.
Thus, in an SELinux policy, one could allow operations that specify
an integrity reason while blocking operations that specify a
confidentiality reason. The SELinux hook implementation is
stricter than the lockdown module in validating the provided reason value.

Sample AVC audit output from denials:
avc:  denied  { integrity } for pid=3402 comm="fwupd"
 lockdown_reason="/dev/mem,kmem,port" scontext=system_u:system_r:fwupd_t:s0
 tcontext=system_u:system_r:fwupd_t:s0 tclass=lockdown permissive=0

avc:  denied  { confidentiality } for pid=4628 comm="cp"
