* tomoyo: revert CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO_LKM supportPaul Moore2024-10-041-12/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reverts two TOMOYO patches that were merged into Linus' tree during the v6.12 merge window: 8b985bbfabbe ("tomoyo: allow building as a loadable LSM module") 268225a1de1a ("tomoyo: preparation step for building as a loadable LSM module") Together these two patches introduced the CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO_LKM Kconfig build option which enabled a TOMOYO specific dynamic LSM loading mechanism (see the original commits for more details). Unfortunately, this approach was widely rejected by the LSM community as well as some members of the general kernel community. Objections included concerns over setting a bad precedent regarding individual LSMs managing their LSM callback registrations as well as general kernel symbol exporting practices. With little to no support for the CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO_LKM approach outside of Tetsuo, and multiple objections, we need to revert these changes.

* tomoyo: allow building as a loadable LSM moduleTetsuo Handa2024-09-241-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of concerns for enabling TOMOYO in prebuilt kernels is that distributor wants to avoid bloating kernel packages. Although boot-time kernel command line options allows selecting built-in LSMs to enable, file size increase of vmlinux and memory footprint increase of vmlinux caused by builtin-but- not-enabled LSMs remains. If it becomes possible to make LSMs dynamically appendable after boot using loadable kernel modules, these problems will go away. Another of concerns for enabling TOMOYO in prebuilt kernels is that who can provide support when distributor cannot provide support. Due to "those who compiled kernel code is expected to provide support for that kernel code" spell, TOMOYO is failing to get enabled in Fedora distribution [1]. The point of loadable kernel module is to share the workload. If it becomes possible to make LSMs dynamically appendable after boot using loadable kernel modules, as with people can use device drivers not supported by distributors but provided by third party device vendors, we can break this spell and can lower the barrier for using TOMOYO. This patch is intended for demonstrating that there is nothing difficult for supporting TOMOYO-like loadable LSM modules. For now we need to live with a mixture of built-in part and loadable part because fully loadable LSM modules are not supported since Linux 2.6.24 [2] and number of LSMs which can reserve static call slots is determined at compile time in Linux 6.12. Major changes in this patch are described below. There are no behavior changes as long as TOMOYO is built into vmlinux. Add CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO_LKM as "bool" instead of changing CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO from "bool" to "tristate", for something went wrong with how Makefile is evaluated if I choose "tristate". Add proxy.c for serving as a bridge between vmlinux and tomoyo.ko . Move callback functions from init.c to proxy.c when building as a loadable LSM module. init.c is built-in part and remains for reserving static call slots. proxy.c contains module's init function and tells init.c location of callback functions, making it possible to use static call for tomoyo.ko . By deferring initialization of "struct tomoyo_task" until tomoyo.ko is loaded, threads created between init.c reserved LSM hooks and proxy.c updates LSM hooks will have NULL "struct tomoyo_task" instances. Assuming that tomoyo.ko is loaded by the moment when the global init process starts, initialize "struct tomoyo_task" instance for current thread as a kernel thread when tomoyo_task(current) is called for the first time. There is a hack for exporting currently not-exported functions. This hack will be removed after all relevant functions are exported.

* TOMOYO: fix __setup handlers return valuesRandy Dunlap2022-02-241-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __setup() handlers should return 1 if the parameter is handled. Returning 0 causes the entire string to be added to init's environment strings (limited to 32 strings), unnecessarily polluting it. Using the documented strings "TOMOYO_loader=string1" and "TOMOYO_trigger=string2" causes an Unknown parameter message: Unknown kernel command line parameters "BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc5 TOMOYO_loader=string1 \ TOMOYO_trigger=string2", will be passed to user space. and these strings are added to init's environment string space: Run /sbin/init as init process with arguments: /sbin/init with environment: HOME=/ TERM=linux BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc5 TOMOYO_loader=string1 TOMOYO_trigger=string2 With this change, these __setup handlers act as expected, and init's environment is not polluted with these strings.

* License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

* TOMOYO: Make several options configurable.Tetsuo Handa2011-06-291-23/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To be able to start using enforcing mode from the early stage of boot sequence, this patch adds support for activating access control without calling external policy loader program. This will be useful for systems where operations which can lead to the hijacking of the boot sequence are needed before loading the policy. For example, you can activate immediately after loading the fixed part of policy which will allow only operations needed for mounting a partition which contains the variant part of policy and verifying (e.g. running GPG check) and loading the variant part of policy. Since you can start using enforcing mode from the beginning, you can reduce the possibility of hijacking the boot sequence. This patch makes several variables configurable on build time. This patch also adds TOMOYO_loader= and TOMOYO_trigger= kernel command line option to boot the same kernel in two different init systems (BSD-style init and systemd).
