Ondrej / Paul / Jiri: at least for the BPF tracing case specifically (I haven't looked
at the rest but it's also kind of independent), the attached fix should address both

Thanks a lot,

Subject: [PATCH bpf] bpf, audit, lockdown: Fix bogus SELinux lockdown permission checks
Commit 59438b46471a ("security,lockdown,selinux: implement SELinux lockdown")
added an implementation of the locked_down LSM hook to SELinux, with the aim
to restrict which domains are allowed to perform operations that would breach
lockdown. This is indirectly also getting audit subsystem involved to report
events. The latter is problematic, as reported by Ondrej and Serhei, since it
can bring down the whole system via audit:
i) The audit events that are triggered due to calls to security_locked_down()
can OOM kill a machine, see below details [0].
ii) It seems to be causing a deadlock via slow_avc_audit() -> audit_log_end()
when presumingly trying to wake up kauditd [1].
Fix both at the same time by taking a completely different approach, that is,
move the check into the program verification phase where we actually retrieve
the func proto. This also reliably gets the task (current) that is trying to
install the tracing program, e.g. bpftrace/bcc/perf/systemtap/etc, and it also
fixes the OOM since we're moving this out of the BPF helpers which can be called
millions of times per second.

I starting seeing this with F-34. When I run a container that is traced with
BPF to record the syscalls it is doing, auditd is flooded with messages like:
type=AVC msg=audit(1619784520.593:282387): avc: denied { confidentiality }
for pid=476 comm="auditd" lockdown_reason="use of bpf to read kernel RAM"
scontext=system_u:system_r:auditd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:auditd_t:s0
tclass=lockdown permissive=0
This seems to be leading to auditd running out of space in the backlog buffer
and eventually OOMs the machine.

auditd running at 99% CPU presumably processing all the messages, eventually I get:

Upstream kernel 5.11.0-rc7 and later was found to deadlock during a
bpf_probe_read_compat() call within a sched_switch tracepoint. The problem
is reproducible with the reg_alloc3 testcase from SystemTap's BPF backend
testsuite on x86_64 as well as the runqlat,runqslower tools from bcc on
ppc64le. Example stack trace:

Thanks Jiri! If Paul is fine with this as well, I can later route this fix via
bpf tree.
Best,
