| * VFS: (Scripted) Convert S_ISLNK/DIR/REG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_*(dentry)David Howells2015-02-222-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert the following where appropriate: (1) S_ISLNK(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry). (2) S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry). (3) S_ISDIR(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry). This is actually more complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to d_can_lookup() instead. The difference is whether the directory in question is a real dir with a ->lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with a ->d_automount op. In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry->d_inode not being NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer). Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer. In such a case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the type of the lower dentry. However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem. There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE. Strictly, this was intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes. The following perl+coccinelle script was used: use strict; my @callers; open($fd, 'git grep -l \'S_IS[A-Z].*->d_inode\' |') || die "Can't grep for S_ISDIR and co. callers"; @callers = <$fd>; close($fd); unless (@callers) { print "No matches\n"; exit(0); } my @cocci = ( '@@', 'expression E;', '@@', '', '- S_ISLNK(E->d_inode->i_mode)', '+ d_is_symlink(E)', '', '@@', 'expression E;', '@@', '', '- S_ISDIR(E->d_inode->i_mode)', '+ d_is_dir(E)', '', '@@', 'expression E;', '@@', '', '- S_ISREG(E->d_inode->i_mode)', '+ d_is_reg(E)' ); my $coccifile = "tmp.sp.cocci"; open($fd, ">$coccifile") || die $coccifile; print($fd "$_\n") || die $coccifile foreach (@cocci); close($fd); foreach my $file (@callers) { chomp $file; print "Processing ", $file, "\n"; system("spatch", "--sp-file", $coccifile, $file, "--in-place", "--no-show-diff") == 0 || die "spatch failed"; } [AV: overlayfs parts skipped] Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

| * | | | Add security hooks to binder and implement the hooks for SELinux.Stephen Smalley2015-01-254-0/+125

The security hooks enable security modules such as SELinux to implement controls over binder IPC. The security hooks include support for controlling what process can become the binder context manager (binder_set_context_mgr), controlling the ability of a process to invoke a binder transaction/IPC to another process (binder_transaction), controlling the ability of a process to transfer a binder reference to another process (binder_transfer_binder), and controlling the ability of a process to transfer an open file to another process (binder_transfer_file). These hooks have been included in the Android kernel trees since Android 4.3. (Updated to reflect upstream relocation and changes to the binder driver, changes to the LSM audit data structures, coding style cleanups, and to add inline documentation for the hooks).

Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to the nommu mmap code instead. Splitting this from the backing_dev_info structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a backing_dev_info for a character device. It also removes the need for the mtd_inodefs filesystem.

It cannot be used for pointer members since what they point to may disapper after dropping RCU read lock. Mainly task_security() used this way: smk_of_task(task_security(p)) Intead of this introduce function smk_of_task_struct() which takes task_struct as argument and returns pointer to smk_known struct and do this under RCU read lock. Bogus task_security() macro is not used anymore, so remove it.

The netfilter facility was not used to allow for Smack to work properly without netfilter configuration. Smack does not need netfilter, however there are cases where it would be handy. As a side effect, the labeling of local IPv4 packets can be optimized and the handling of local IPv6 packets is just all out better. The best part is that the netfilter tools use "contexts" that are just strings, and they work just as well for Smack as they do for SELinux. All of the conditional compilation for IPv6 was implemented by Rafal Krypa <r.krypa@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>
| * | | Smack: Rework file hooksCasey Schaufler2015-01-201-21/+19

There are a number of LSM hooks that work off of file pointers, and most of them really want the security data from the inode. Some, however, really want the security context that the process had when the file was opened. The difference went undetected in Smack until it started getting used in a real system with real testing. At that point it was clear that something was amiss. This patch corrects the misuse of the f_security value in several of the hooks. The behavior will not usually be any different, as the process had to be able to open the file in the first place, and the old check almost always succeeded, as will the new, but for different reasons. Thanks to the Samsung Tizen development team that identified this. Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>

For tinification efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable.

* / KEYS: close race between key lookup and freeingSasha Levin2015-01-051-2/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a key is being garbage collected, it's key->user would get put before the ->destroy() callback is called, where the key is removed from it's respective tracking structures. This leaves a key hanging in a semi-invalid state which leaves a window open for a different task to try an access key->user. An example is find_keyring_by_name() which would dereference key->user for a key that is in the process of being garbage collected (where key->user was freed but ->destroy() wasn't called yet - so it's still present in the linked list). This would cause either a panic, or corrupt memory. Fixes CVE-2014-9529. Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When loading encrypted-keys module, if the last check of aes_get_sizes() in init_encrypted() fails, the driver just returns an error without unregistering its key type. This results in the stale entry in the list. In addition to memory leaks, this leads to a kernel crash when registering a new key type later. This patch fixes the problem by swapping the calls of aes_get_sizes() and register_key_type(), and releasing resources properly at the error paths.

Fix this by passing the correct length to strncpy(). Now we can remove initialization of the last byte in 'smack' string because kzalloc() already did this for us.

| | * | Security: smack: replace kzalloc with kmem_cache for inode_smackRohit2014-10-311-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch use kmem_cache to allocate/free inode_smack since they are alloced in high volumes making it a perfect case for kmem_cache. As per analysis, 24 bytes of memory is wasted per allocation due to internal fragmentation. With kmem_cache, this can be avoided. Accounting of memory allocation is below : total slack net count-alloc/free caller Before (with kzalloc) 1919872 719952 1919872 29998/0 new_inode_smack+0x14 After (with kmem_cache) 1201680 0 1201680 30042/0 new_inode_smack+0x18 >From above data, we found that 719952 bytes(~700 KB) of memory is saved on allocation of 29998 smack inodes.

| | * | Smack: Lock mode for the floor and hat labelsCasey Schaufler2014-10-281-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The lock access mode allows setting a read lock on a file for with the process has only read access. The floor label is defined to make it easy to have the basic system installed such that everyone can read it. Once there's a desire to read lock (rationally or otherwise) a floor file a rule needs to get set. This happens all the time, so make the floor label a little bit more special and allow everyone lock access, too. By implication, give processes with the hat label (hat can read everything) lock access as well. This reduces clutter in the Smack rule set. Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>
