Paul Moore 06643d5584 smack: move initcalls to the LSM framework
As the LSM framework only supports one LSM initcall callback for each
initcall type, the init_smk_fs() and smack_nf_ip_init() functions were
wrapped with a new function, smack_initcall() that is registered with
the LSM framework.

Konstantin AndreevandCasey Schaufler 674e2b2479 smack: fix bug: setting task label silently ignores input garbage
This command:
    # echo foo/bar >/proc/$$/attr/smack/current

gives the task a label 'foo' w/o indication
that label does not match input.
Setting the label with lsm_set_self_attr() syscall
behaves identically.

This occures because:

1) smk_parse_smack() is used to convert input to a label
2) smk_parse_smack() takes only that part from the
   beginning of the input that looks like a label.
3) `/' is prohibited in labels, so only "foo" is taken.

(2) is by design, because smk_parse_smack() is used
for parsing strings which are more than just a label.

Silent failure is not a good thing, and there are two
indicators that this was not done intentionally:

    (size >= SMK_LONGLABEL) ~> invalid

clause at the beginning of the do_setattr() and the
"Returns the length of the smack label" claim
in the do_setattr() description.

So I fixed this by adding one tiny check:
the taken label length == input length.

Since input length is now strictly controlled,
I changed the two ways of setting label

   smack_setselfattr(): lsm_set_self_attr() syscall
   smack_setprocattr(): > /proc/.../current

to accommodate the divergence in
what they understand by "input length":

  smack_setselfattr counts mandatory \0 into input length,
  smack_setprocattr does not.

  smack_setprocattr allows various trailers after label

Related changes:

* fixed description for smk_parse_smack

* allow unprivileged tasks validate label syntax.

* extract smk_parse_label_len() from smk_parse_smack()
  so parsing may be done w/o string allocation.

* extract smk_import_valid_label() from smk_import_entry()
  to avoid repeated parsing.

* smk_parse_smack(): scan null-terminated strings
  for no more than SMK_LONGLABEL(256) characters

* smack_setselfattr(): require struct lsm_ctx . flags == 0
  to reserve them for future.

I want to be sure that ipv6-specific code

[1] was getting rid of "unused variable" warning, but,

smk_ipv6_localhost, smack_ipv6host_label, smk_ipv6_check.

Their compiled bodies are likely to be removed by compiler
from the resulting binary, but, to be on the safe side,
I remove them from the compiler view.

Roberto SassuandPaul Moore baed456a6a smack: Set the SMACK64TRANSMUTE xattr in smack_inode_init_security()
With the newly added ability of LSMs to supply multiple xattrs, set
SMACK64TRASMUTE in smack_inode_init_security(), instead of d_instantiate().
Do it by incrementing SMACK_INODE_INIT_XATTRS to 2 and by calling
lsm_get_xattr_slot() a second time, if the transmuting conditions are met.

The LSM infrastructure passes all xattrs provided by LSMs to the
filesystems through the initxattrs() callback, so that filesystems can
store xattrs in the disk.

After the change, the SMK_INODE_TRANSMUTE inode flag is always set by
d_instantiate() after fetching SMACK64TRANSMUTE from the disk. Before it
was done by smack_inode_post_setxattr() as result of the __vfs_setxattr()
call.

Removing __vfs_setxattr() also prevents invalidating the EVM HMAC, by
adding a new xattr without checking and updating the existing HMAC.

Roberto SassuandCasey Schaufler 2c085f3a8f smack: Record transmuting in smk_transmuted
smack_dentry_create_files_as() determines whether transmuting should occur
based on the label of the parent directory the new inode will be added to,
and not the label of the directory where it is created.

This helps for example to do transmuting on overlayfs, since the latter
first creates the inode in the working directory, and then moves it to the
correct destination.

However, despite smack_dentry_create_files_as() provides the correct label,
smack_inode_init_security() does not know from passed information whether
or not transmuting occurred. Without this information,
smack_inode_init_security() cannot set SMK_INODE_CHANGED in smk_flags,
which will result in the SMACK64TRANSMUTE xattr not being set in
smack_d_instantiate().

Thus, add the smk_transmuted field to the task_smack structure, and set it
in smack_dentry_create_files_as() to smk_task if transmuting occurred. If
smk_task is equal to smk_transmuted in smack_inode_init_security(), act as
if transmuting was successful but without taking the label from the parent
directory (the inode label was already set correctly from the current
credentials in smack_inode_alloc_security()).

Paul Moore 6326948f94 lsm: security_task_getsecid_subj() -> security_current_getsecid_subj()
The security_task_getsecid_subj() LSM hook invites misuse by allowing
callers to specify a task even though the hook is only safe when the
current task is referenced.  Fix this by removing the task_struct
argument to the hook, requiring LSM implementations to use the
current task.  While we are changing the hook declaration we also
rename the function to security_current_getsecid_subj() in an effort
to reinforce that the hook captures the subjective credentials of the
current task and not an arbitrary task on the system.

Linus Torvalds 17ae69aba8 Merge tag 'landlock_v34' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
Pull Landlock LSM from James Morris:
 "Add Landlock, a new LSM from Mickaël Salaün.

  Briefly, Landlock provides for unprivileged application sandboxing.

  From Mickaël's cover letter:
    "The goal of Landlock is to enable to restrict ambient rights (e.g.
     global filesystem access) for a set of processes. Because Landlock
     is a stackable LSM [1], it makes possible to create safe security
     sandboxes as new security layers in addition to the existing
     system-wide access-controls. This kind of sandbox is expected to
     help mitigate the security impact of bugs or unexpected/malicious
     behaviors in user-space applications. Landlock empowers any
     process, including unprivileged ones, to securely restrict
     themselves.

     Landlock is inspired by seccomp-bpf but instead of filtering
     syscalls and their raw arguments, a Landlock rule can restrict the
     use of kernel objects like file hierarchies, according to the
     kernel semantic. Landlock also takes inspiration from other OS
     sandbox mechanisms: XNU Sandbox, FreeBSD Capsicum or OpenBSD
     Pledge/Unveil.

     In this current form, Landlock misses some access-control features.
     This enables to minimize this patch series and ease review. This
     series still addresses multiple use cases, especially with the
     combined use of seccomp-bpf: applications with built-in sandboxing,
     init systems, security sandbox tools and security-oriented APIs [2]"

Casey Schaufler 921bb1cbb3 Smack:- Remove mutex lock "smk_lock" from inode_smack
"smk_lock" mutex is used during inode instantiation in
smack_d_instantiate()function. It has been used to avoid
simultaneous access on same inode security structure.
Since smack related initialization is done only once i.e during
inode creation. If the inode has already been instantiated then
smack_d_instantiate() function just returns without doing
anything.

So it means mutex lock is required only during inode creation.
But since 2 processes can't create same inodes or files
simultaneously. Also linking or some other file operation can't
be done simultaneously when the file is getting created since
file lookup will fail before dentry inode linkup which is done
after smack initialization.
So no mutex lock is required in inode_smack structure.

It will save memory as well as improve some performance.
If 40000 inodes are created in system, it will save 1.5 MB on
32-bit systems & 2.8 MB on 64-bit systems.

This patch allows for small memory optimization by creating the
kmem cache for "struct smack_rule" instead of using kzalloc.
For adding new smack rule, kzalloc is used to allocate the memory
for "struct smack_rule". kzalloc will always allocate 32 or 64 bytes
for 1 structure depending upon the kzalloc cache sizes available in
system. Although the size of structure is 20 bytes only, resulting
in memory wastage per object in the default pool.

For e.g., if there are 20000 rules, then it will save 240KB(20000*12)
which is crucial for small memory targets.
