Add two flags LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_CHMOD and LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_CHOWN to
support restriction to chmod(2) and chown(2) with landlock.
Also change the landlock ABI version from 3 to 4.

This section talk about "access rights that only apply to the content of
a directory, not the directory itself", which is not correct (see
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_READ_DIR). I'd like these access rights to remain
here but this kernel patch and the related tests need some changes.
What about a LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_CHGRP? I'm not sure if we need to
differentiate these actions or not, but we need arguments to choose.

One implication of this approach is that the chown+chmod right on a
directory's contents are always going together with the same rights on
the directory itself.
For example, if you grant chmod+chown access rights for "datadir/",
the command "chmod 0600 datadir/file1" will work, but so will the
command "chmod 0600 datadir". But the approach of checking just the
parent directory's rights is also inflexible if you think through the
kinds of rights you can grant with it. (It would also not be possible
to grant chmod+chown on individual files.)
Good point. For an initial chmod/chown/chgrp access right, I'd prefer to
be able to set these access rights on a directory but only for its
content, not the directory itself. I think it is much safer and should
be enough for the majority of use cases, but let me know if I'm missing
something. I'm not sure being able to change the root directory access
rights may be a good idea anyway (even for containers). ;)
A path_beneath rule enables to identify a file hierarchy (i.e. the
content of a directory), not to make modifications visible outside of
the directory identifying the hierarchy (hence the "parent_fd" field),
which would be the case with the current chmod/chown access rights.
Do you have any thoughts on how to resolve this if this flexibility
might be needed?
I wonder whether the right way to resolve this would be to give users
a way to make that distinction at the level of landlock_add_rule(),
with an API like this (note the additional flag):
err = landlock_add_rule(ruleset_fd, LANDLOCK_RULE_PATH_BENEATH,
&path_beneath, LANDLOCK_STRICTLY_BENEATH);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Multiple calls of landlock_add_rule() on the same file are already
today joining the requested access rights, so it would be possible to
mix-and-match "strict beneath" with "beneath" rights on the same
directory, and it would work in the same way for other access rights
as well.
This kind of option is interesting. For now, some access rights are kind
of "doubled" to enable to differentiate between a file and a directory
(i.e. READ_DIR/READ_FILE, REMOVE_DIR/REMOVE_FILE, WRITE_FILE/MAKE_*)
when it may be useful, but this is different.
I think this "strictly beneath" behavior should be the default, which is
currently the case.
To be clear: I'm proposing this approach not because I think it should
be part of this patch set, but because it would be good to have a way
forward if that kind of flexibility is needed in the future.
Does that seem reasonable?
This is the kind of questions that made such access rights not
appropriate for the initial version of Landlock. But we should talk
about that now.
