What more needs doing before we can land this airship?
The only outstanding issue I know about is the uses of
current_security() in SELinux, and Stephen has a patch
for that. I could see rebasing it, as security-next is
a little bit behind the times, but that's just merge work.
We could bikeshed the "compound" context format if we
have to, and argue about what capabilities are required
for /proc/self/attr/display if we must.

If there's objection to the number of patches (28 > 15)
there are reasonable ways to squash them. If there's objection
to the amount of change there are rational stages.

I'm heading off on holiday, and will be limiting my
screen time for the next couple weeks. Think about it.

My $0.02, roughly in order from what I think will be the largest obstacles to merging to the smallest:

1) Changes outside of the security subsystem:
1a) Userspace API changes e.g. /proc/self/attr/context, /proc/self/attr/display, and SO_PEERCONTEXT, likely needs vetting by linux-api and the latter by netdev, and audit record changes, needs vetting by linux-audit. 1b) lsmblob changes to core kernel data structures and code, likely needs vetting by relevant subsystem maintainers e.g. netdev for unix_skb_parms and scm_cookie changes, linux-audit for audit changes, ... Whether or not these changes are deemed acceptable by their respective maintainers is key to whether this patch set is viable irrespective of what any LSM or security module maintainer may think.

2) Controlling setting of /proc/pid/attr/display:
CAP_MAC_ADMIN isn't an appropriate check for this operation for SELinux. The security modules need to be able to provide their own access control logic for setting display just as with the other attributes, which they could do if you just called the hooks prior to setting the display. At present, in SELinux, CAP_MAC_ADMIN is used only to control what processes can get or set file security labels that are unknown to the currently loaded policy, as a means of supporting package managers that might set down file security labels before loading new policy modules or OS image generators that might be generating a filesystem image with a policy that differs from the build host OS policy. The set of processes that need that ability are quite different from the set of processes that will need to set the display, and we do not want to conflate them in policy. I think you are worried that if given the opportunity, the security module authors will just block setting the display to any value other than their own or setting it at all. How about we just agree to not do that, and if you see a patch doing that you can NAK it?

3) Code review and testing by at least the major LSM maintainers:
At least an Acked-by and preferably Reviewed-by and Tested-by lines from the major security module maintainers, not only for changes that directly touch the code of their module but all of the patches in the series. Because any of these changes could break or undermine the security of any of the security modules. Testing also needs to cover new functionality that wasn't previously possible, e.g. the new userspace APIs, actual stacking of AA with other modules, etc. So merely running existing testsuites isn't going to suffice.


Thank you.


v8: Incorporate feedback from v7
     - Minor clean-up in display value management
     - refactor "compound" context creation to use a common
       append_ctx() function.

v7: Incorporate feedback from v6
     - Make setting the display a privileged operation. The
       availability of compound contexts reduces the need for
       setting the display.

v6: Incorporate feedback from v5
     - Add subj_<lsm>= and obj_<lsm>= fields to audit records
     - Add /proc/.../attr/context to get the full context in
       lsmname\0value\0... format as suggested by Simon McVittie
     - Add SO_PEERCONTEXT for getsockopt() to get the full context
       in the same format, also suggested by Simon McVittie.
     - Add /sys/kernel/security/lsm_display_default to provide
       the display default value.

v5: Incorporate feedback from v4
     - Initialize the lsmcontext in security_secid_to_secctx()
     - Clear the lsmcontext in all security_release_secctx() cases
     - Don't use the "display" on strictly internal context
       interfaces.
     - The SELinux binder hooks check for cases where the context
       "display" isn't compatible with SELinux.

v4: Incorporate feedback from v3
     - Mark new lsm_<blob>_alloc functions static
     - Replace the lsm and slot fields of the security_hook_list
       with a pointer to a LSM allocated lsm_id structure. The
       LSM identifies if it needs a slot explicitly. Use the
       lsm_id rather than make security_add_hooks return the
       slot value.
     - Validate slot values used in security.c
     - Reworked the "display" process attribute handling so that
       it works right and doesn't use goofy list processing.
     - fix display value check in dentry_init_security
     - Replace audit_log of secids with '?' instead of deleting
       the audit log

v3: Incorporate feedback from v2
     - Make lsmblob parameter and variable names more
       meaningful, changing "le" and "l" to "blob".
     - Improve consistency of constant naming.
     - Do more sanity checking during LSM initialization.
     - Be a bit clearer about what is temporary scaffolding.
     - Rather than clutter security_getpeersec_dgram with
       otherwise unnecessary checks remove the apparmor
       stub, which does nothing useful.

Patches 0001-0003 complete the process of moving management
of security blobs that might be shared from the individual
modules to the infrastructure.

Patches 0004-0014 replace system use of a "secid" with
a structure "lsmblob" containing information from the
security modules to be held and reused later. At this
point lsmblob contains an array of u32 secids, one "slot"
for each of the security modules compiled into the
kernel that used secids. A "slot" is allocated when
a security module requests one.
The infrastructure is changed to use the slot number
to pass the correct secid to or from the security module
hooks.

It is important that the lsmblob be a fixed size entity
that does not have to be allocated. Several of the places
where it is used would have performance and/or locking
issues with dynamic allocation.

Patch 0015 provides a mechanism for a process to
identify which security module's hooks should be used
when displaying or converting a security context string.
A new interface /proc/.../attr/display contains the name
of the security module to show. Reading from this file
will present the name of the module, while writing to
it will set the value. Only names of active security
modules are accepted. Internally, the name is translated
to the appropriate "slot" number for the module which
is then stored in the task security blob. Setting the
display requires CAP_MAC_ADMIN.

Patch 0016 Starts the process of changing how a security
context is represented. Since it is possible for a
security context to have been generated by more than one
security module it is now necessary to note which module
created a security context so that the correct "release"
hook can be called. There are several places where the
module that created a security context cannot be inferred.

This is achieved by introducing a "lsmcontext" structure
which contains the context string, its length and the
"slot" number of the security module that created it.
The security_release_secctx() interface is changed,
replacing the (string,len) pointer pair with a lsmcontext
pointer.

Patches 0017-0019 convert the security interfaces from
(string,len) pointer pairs to a lsmcontext pointer.
The slot number identifying the creating module is
added by the infrastructure. Where the security context
is stored for extended periods the data type is changed.

The Netlabel code is converted to save lsmblob structures
instead of secids in Patches 0020-21.

Patch 0022 adds checks to the SELinux binder hooks
which verify that if either "display" used is SELinux
both are.

Patches 0023-24 add addition data to the audit records
to identify the LSM specific data for all active
modules.

Patches 0025-0027 add new interfaces for getting the
compound security contexts.

Finally, with all interference on the AppArmor hooks
removed, Patch 0028 removes the exclusive bit from
AppArmor. An unnecessary stub hook was also removed.

The Ubuntu project is using an earlier version of
this patchset in their distribution to enable stacking
for containers.

Performance measurements to date have the change
within the "noise". The sockperf and dbench results
are on the order of 0.2% to 0.8% difference, with
better performance being as common as worse. The
benchmarks were run with AppArmor and Smack on Ubuntu.
