[PATCH v4 0/8] LSM: Three basic syscalls

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



LSM: Three basic syscalls

Add three system calls for the Linux Security Module ABI.

lsm_get_self_attr() provides the security module specific attributes
that have previously been visible in the /proc/self/attr directory.
For each security module that uses the specified attribute on the
current process the system call will return an LSM identifier and
the value of the attribute. The LSM and attribute identifier values
are defined in include/uapi/linux/lsm.h

LSM identifiers are simple integers and reflect the order in which
the LSM was added to the mainline kernel. This is a convention, not
a promise of the API. LSM identifiers below the value of 100 are
reserved for unspecified future uses. That could include information
about the security infrastructure itself, or about how multiple LSMs
might interact with each other.

lsm_module_list() provides the LSM identifiers, in order, of the
security modules that are active on the system. This has been
available in the securityfs file /sys/kernel/security/lsm.

lsm_set_self_attr() changes the specified LSM attribute. Only one
attribute can be changed at a time, and then only if the specified
security module allows the change.

Patch 0001 changes the LSM registration from passing the name
of the module to passing a lsm_id structure that contains the
name of the module, an LSM identifier number and an attribute
identifier.
Patch 0002 adds the registered lsm_ids to a table.
Patch 0003 changes security_[gs]etprocattr() to use LSM IDs instead
of LSM names.
Patch 0004 implements lsm_get_self_attr().
Patch 0005 implements lsm_module_list().
Patch 0006 implements lsm_set_self_attr().
Patch 0007 wires up the syscalls.
Patch 0008 implements selftests for the three new syscalls.

v4: Restore "reserved" LSM ID values. Add explaination.
    Squash patches that introduce fields in lsm_id.
    Correct a wireup error.

v3: Add lsm_set_self_attr().
    Rename lsm_self_attr() to lsm_get_self_attr().
    Provide the values only for a specifed attribute in
    lsm_get_self_attr().
    Add selftests for the three new syscalls.
    Correct some parameter checking.

v2: Use user-interface safe data types.
    Remove "reserved" LSM ID values.
    Improve kerneldoc comments
    Include copyright dates
    Use more descriptive name for LSM counter
    Add documentation
    Correct wireup errors

Casey Schaufler (8):
  LSM: Identify modules by more than name
  LSM: Maintain a table of LSM attribute data
  proc: Use lsmids instead of lsm names for attrs
  LSM: lsm_get_self_attr syscall for LSM self attributes
  LSM: Create lsm_module_list system call
  LSM: lsm_set_self_attr syscall for LSM self attributes
  LSM: wireup Linux Security Module syscalls
  LSM: selftests for Linux Security Module syscalls
