Even when a process is restricted with the new
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_RESOLVE_UNIX right, the kernel can continue writing
its coredump to the configured coredump socket.
In the test, we create a local server and rewire the system to write
coredumps into it. We then create a child process within a Landlock
domain where LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_RESOLVE_UNIX is restricted and make
the process crash. The test uses SO_PEERCRED to check that the
connecting client process is the expected one.
Includes a fix by Mickaël Salaün for setting the EUID to 0 (see [1]).

These tests exercise the cross product of the following scenarios:

Seqpacket connect().
* Child-to-parent and parent-to-child communication
* The Landlock policy configuration as listed in the scoped_domains
fixture.
* In the default variant, Landlock domains are only placed where
prescribed in the fixture.
* In the "ALL_DOMAINS" variant, Landlock domains are also placed in
the places where the fixture says to omit them, but with a
LANDLOCK_RULE_PATH_BENEATH that allows connection.

* Add a new access right LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_RESOLVE_UNIX, which
controls the lookup operations for named UNIX domain sockets. The
resolution happens during connect() and sendmsg() (depending on
socket type).
* Change access_mask_t from u16 to u32 (see below)
* Hook into the path lookup in unix_find_bsd() in af_unix.c, using a
LSM hook. Make policy decisions based on the new access rights
* Increment the Landlock ABI version.
* Minor test adaptations to keep the tests working.
* Document the design rationale for scoped access rights,
and cross-reference it from the header documentation.
With this access right, access is granted if either of the following
conditions is met:
* The target socket's filesystem path was allow-listed using a
LANDLOCK_RULE_PATH_BENEATH rule, *or*:
* The target socket was created in the same Landlock domain in which
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_RESOLVE_UNIX was restricted.
In case of a denial, connect() and sendmsg() return EACCES, which is
the same error as it is returned if the user does not have the write
bit in the traditional UNIX file system permissions of that file.
The access_mask_t type grows from u16 to u32 to make space for the new
access right. This also doubles the size of struct layer_access_masks
from 32 byte to 64 byte. To avoid memory layout inconsistencies between
architectures (especially m68k), pack and align struct access_masks [2].
Document the (possible future) interaction between scoped flags and
other access rights in struct landlock_ruleset_attr, and summarize the
rationale, as discussed in code review leading up to [3].
This feature was created with substantial discussion and input from
Justin Suess, Tingmao Wang and Mickaël Salaün.

Domain deallocation records are emitted asynchronously from kworker
threads (via free_ruleset_work()). Stale deallocation records from a
previous test can arrive during the current test's deallocation read
loop and be picked up by audit_match_record() instead of the expected
record, causing a domain ID mismatch. The audit.layers test (which
creates 16 nested domains) is particularly vulnerable because it reads
16 deallocation records in sequence, providing a large window for stale
records to interleave.
The same issue affects audit_flags.signal, where deallocation records
from a previous test (audit.layers) can leak into the next test and be
picked up by audit_match_record() instead of the expected record.
Fix this by continuing to read records when the type matches but the
content pattern does not. Stale records are silently consumed, and the
loop only stops when both type and pattern match (or the socket times
out with -EAGAIN).
Additionally, extend matches_log_domain_deallocated() with an
expected_domain_id parameter. When set, the regex pattern includes the
specific domain ID as a literal hex value, so that deallocation records
for a different domain do not match the pattern at all. This handles
the case where the stale record has the same denial count as the
expected one (e.g. both have denials=1), which the type+pattern loop
alone cannot distinguish. Callers that already know the expected domain
ID (from a prior denial or allocation record) now pass it to filter
precisely.
When expected_domain_id is set, matches_log_domain_deallocated() also
temporarily increases the socket timeout to audit_tv_dom_drop (1 second)
to wait for the asynchronous kworker deallocation, and restores
audit_tv_default afterward. This removes the need for callers to manage
the timeout switch manually.

Non-audit Landlock tests generate audit records as side effects when
audit_enabled is non-zero (e.g. from boot configuration). These records
accumulate in the kernel audit backlog while no audit daemon socket is
open. When the next test opens a new netlink socket and registers as
the audit daemon, the stale backlog is delivered, causing baseline
record count checks to fail spuriously.
Fix this by draining all pending records in audit_init() right after
setting the receive timeout. The 1-usec SO_RCVTIMEO causes audit_recv()
to return -EAGAIN once the backlog is empty, naturally terminating the
drain loop.
Domain deallocation records are emitted asynchronously from a work
queue, so they may still arrive after the drain. Remove records.domain
== 0 checks that are not preceded by audit_match_record() calls, which
would otherwise consume stale records before the count. Document this
constraint above audit_count_records().
Increasing the drain timeout to catch in-flight deallocation records was
considered but rejected: a longer timeout adds latency to every
audit_init() call even when no stale record is pending, and any fixed
timeout is still not guaranteed to catch all records under load.
Removing the unprotected checks is simpler and avoids the spurious
failures.

Apply the same fix to audit_init_with_exe_filter(), which leaks the file

audit_filter_exe() fails, and to audit_cleanup(), which leaks it if
audit_init_filter_exe() fails in FIXTURE_TEARDOWN_PARENT().

hook_cred_transfer() only copies the Landlock security blob when the
source credential has a domain. This is inconsistent with
landlock_restrict_self() which can set LOG_SUBDOMAINS_OFF on a
credential without creating a domain (via the ruleset_fd=-1 path): the
field is committed but not preserved across fork() because the child's
prepare_creds() calls hook_cred_transfer() which skips the copy when
domain is NULL.
This breaks the documented use case where a process mutes subdomain logs
before forking sandboxed children: the children lose the muting and
their domains produce unexpected audit records.
Fix this by unconditionally copying the Landlock credential blob.

Add tsync_interrupt test to exercise the signal interruption path in
landlock_restrict_sibling_threads(). When a signal interrupts
wait_for_completion_interruptible() while the calling thread waits for
sibling threads to finish credential preparation, the kernel:
1. Sets ERESTARTNOINTR to request a transparent syscall restart.
2. Calls cancel_tsync_works() to opportunistically dequeue task works
that have not started running yet.
3. Breaks out of the preparation loop, then unblocks remaining
task works via complete_all() and waits for them to finish.
4. Returns the error, causing abort_creds() in the syscall handler.
Specifically, cancel_tsync_works() in its entirety, the ERESTARTNOINTR
error branch in landlock_restrict_sibling_threads(), and the
abort_creds() error branch in the landlock_restrict_self() syscall
handler are timing-dependent and not exercised by the existing tsync
tests, making code coverage measurements non-deterministic.
The test spawns a signaler thread that rapidly sends SIGUSR1 to the
calling thread while it performs landlock_restrict_self() with
LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_TSYNC. Since ERESTARTNOINTR causes a
transparent restart, userspace always sees the syscall succeed.
This is a best-effort coverage test: the interruption path is exercised
when the signal lands during the preparation wait, which depends on
thread scheduling. The test creates enough idle sibling threads (200)
to ensure multiple serialized waves of credential preparation even on
machines with many cores (e.g., 64), widening the window for the
signaler. Deterministic coverage would require wrapping the wait call
with ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() and using CONFIG_FAIL_FUNCTION.
Test coverage for security/landlock was 90.2% of 2105 lines according to
LLVM 21, and it is now 91.1% of 2105 lines with this new test.

Introduce the LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_TSYNC flag. With this flag, a
given Landlock ruleset is applied to all threads of the calling
process, instead of only the current one.
Without this flag, multithreaded userspace programs currently resort
to using the nptl(7)/libpsx hack for multithreaded policy enforcement,
which is also used by libcap and for setuid(2). Using this
userspace-based scheme, the threads of a process enforce the same
Landlock policy, but the resulting Landlock domains are still
separate. The domains being separate causes multiple problems:
* When using Landlock's "scoped" access rights, the domain identity is
used to determine whether an operation is permitted. As a result,
when using LANLDOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL, signaling between sibling threads
stops working. This is a problem for programming languages and
frameworks which are inherently multithreaded (e.g. Go).
* In audit logging, the domains of separate threads in a process will
get logged with different domain IDs, even when they are based on
the same ruleset FD, which might confuse users.
