There are several kernel subsystems that contain critical data which if accidentally or maliciously altered, can compromise the integrity of the system. Examples of such subsystems would include LSMs like SELinux, or AppArmor; or device-mapper targets like dm-crypt, dm-verity etc. "critical data" in this context is kernel subsystem specific information that is stored in kernel memory. Examples of critical data could be kernel in-memory r/o structures, hash of the memory structures, or data that represents a linux kernel subsystem state. This patch set defines a new IMA hook namely CRITICAL_DATA, and a function ima_measure_critical_data() - to measure the critical data. Kernel subsystems can use this functionality, to take advantage of IMA's measuring and quoting abilities - thus ultimately enabling remote attestation for the subsystem specific information stored in the kernel memory. The functionality is generic enough to measure the data of any kernel subsystem at run-time. To ensure that only data from supported sources are measured, the kernel subsystem needs to be added to a compile-time list of supported sources (an "allowed list of components"). IMA validates the source passed to ima_measure_critical_data() against this allowed list at run-time. System administrators may want to pick and choose which kernel subsystem information they would want to enable for measurements, quoting, and remote attestation. To enable that, a new IMA policy is introduced. This patch set also addresses the need for the kernel subsystems to measure their data before a custom IMA policy is loaded - by providing a builtin IMA policy. And lastly, the use of the overall functionality is demonstrated by measuring the kernel in-memory data for one such subsystem - SeLinux. This series is based on the following repo/branch: repo: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/selinux.git branch: next commit 3650b228f83a ("Linux 5.10-rc1") Change Log v5: (1) Incorporated feedback from Stephen on the last SeLinux patch. SeLinux Patch: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11801585/ - Freed memory in the reverse order of allocation in selinux_measure_state(). - Used scnprintf() instead of snprintf() to create the string for selinux state. - Allocated event name passed to ima_measure_critical_data() before gathering selinux state and policy information for measuring. (2) Incorporated feedback from Mimi on v4 of this series. V4 of this Series: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-integrity/list/?series=354437 - Removed patch "[v4,2/6] IMA: conditionally allow empty rule data" - Reversed the order of following patches. [v4,4/6] IMA: add policy to measure critical data from kernel components [v4,5/6] IMA: add hook to measure critical data from kernel components and renamed them to remove "from kernel components" - Added a new patch to this series - IMA: add critical_data to built-in policy rules - Added the next version of SeLinux patch (mentioned above) to this series selinux: measure state and hash of the policy using IMA - Updated cover-letter description to give broader perspective of the feature, rearranging paragraphs, removing unnecessary info, clarifying terms etc. - Got rid of opt_list param from ima_match_rule_data(). - Updated the documentation to remove sources that don't yet exist. - detailed IMA hook description added to ima_measure_critical_data(), as well as elaborating terms event_name, event_data_source. - "data_sources:=" is not a mandatory policy option for func=CRITICAL_DATA anymore. If not present, all the data sources specified in __ima_supported_kernel_data_sources will be measured. Change Log v4: Incorporated feedback from Mimi on v3. - Split patch #1 into two patches to move introduction of bool allow_empty_opt_list into the 2nd patch. - Reverted return type of process_buffer_measurement() from int to void which got rid of patch #2 from the v3 of the series. - Renamed the policy "critical_kernel_data_sources" to "data_sources". - Updated process_buffer_measurement() to avoid code and variable duplication in the if(measure_buf_hash) block. - Changed return type of ima_measure_critical_data() from int to void. - Updated patch description for patch #3 and #4 as per Mimi's feedback. Change Log v3: Incorporated feedback from Mimi on v2. - Renamed the policy "data_sources" to "critical_kernel_data_sources". - Added "critical_kernel_data_sources" description in Documentation/ima-policy. - Split CRITICAL_DATA + critical_kernel_data_sources into two separate patches. - Merged hook ima_measure_critical_data() + CRITICAL_DATA into a single patch. - Added functionality to validate data sources before measurement. Change Log v2: - Reverted the unnecessary indentations in existing #define. - Updated the description to replace the word 'enlightened' with 'supported'. - Reverted the unnecessary rename of attribute size to buf_len. - Introduced a boolean parameter measure_buf_hash as per community feedback to support measuring hash of the buffer, instead of the buffer itself.
