From: Deven Bowers <deven.desai@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
dm-verity provides a strong guarantee of a block device's integrity. As
a generic way to check the integrity of a block device, it provides
those integrity guarantees to its higher layers, including the filesystem
level.
However, critical security metadata like the dm-verity roothash and its
signing information are not easily accessible to the LSMs.
To address this limitation, this patch introduces a mechanism to store
and manage these essential security details within a newly added LSM blob
in the block_device structure.
This addition allows LSMs to make access control decisions on the integrity
data stored within the block_device, enabling more flexible security
policies. For instance, LSMs can now revoke access to dm-verity devices
based on their roothashes, ensuring that only authorized and verified
content is accessible. Additionally, LSMs can enforce policies to only
allow files from dm-verity devices that have a valid digital signature to
execute, effectively blocking any unsigned files from execution, thus
enhancing security against unauthorized modifications.
The patch includes new hook calls, `security_bdev_setintegrity()`, in
dm-verity to expose the dm-verity roothash and the roothash signature to
LSMs via preresume() callback. By using the preresume() callback, it
ensures that the security metadata is consistently in sync with the
metadata of the dm-verity target in the current active mapping table.
The hook calls are depended on CONFIG_SECURITY.

v6:
+ Fix an improper cleanup that can result in
a leak
v7:
+ Squash patch 08/12, 10/12 to [11/16]
+ Use part0 for block_device, to retrieve the block_device, when
calling security_bdev_setsecurity
v8:
+ Undo squash of 08/12, 10/12 - separating drivers/md/ from
security/ & block/
+ Use common-audit function for dmverity_signature.
+ Change implementation for storing the dm-verity digest to use the
newly introduced dm_verity_digest structure introduced in patch
14/20.
+ Create new structure, dm_verity_digest, containing digest algorithm,
size, and digest itself to pass to the LSM layer. V7 was missing the
algorithm.
+ Create an associated public header containing this new structure and
the key values for the LSM hook, specific to dm-verity.
+ Additional information added to commit, discussing the layering of
the changes and how the information passed will be used.
