2011-03-03SELinux: Socket retains creator role and MLS attributeHarry Ciao
The socket SID would be computed on creation and no longer inherit its creator's SID by default. Socket may have a different type but needs to retain the creator's role and MLS attribute in order not to break labeled networking and network access control. The kernel value for a class would be used to determine if the class if one of socket classes. If security_compute_sid is called from userspace the policy value for a class would be mapped to the relevant kernel value first.

2011-02-01SELinux: Use dentry name in new object labelingEric Paris
Currently SELinux has rules which label new objects according to 3 criteria. The label of the process creating the object, the label of the parent directory, and the type of object (reg, dir, char, block, etc.) This patch adds a 4th criteria, the dentry name, thus we can distinguish between creating a file in an etc_t directory called shadow and one called motd. There is no file globbing, regex parsing, or anything mystical. Either the policy exactly (strcmp) matches the dentry name of the object or it doesn't. This patch has no changes from today if policy does not implement the new rules. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2010-12-07selinux: cache sidtab_context_to_sid resultsEric Paris
sidtab_context_to_sid takes up a large share of time when creating large numbers of new inodes (~30-40% in oprofile runs). This patch implements a cache of 3 entries which is checked before we do a full context_to_sid lookup. On one system this showed over a x3 improvement in the number of inodes that could be created per second and around a 20% improvement on another system. Any time we look up the same context string sucessivly (imagine ls -lZ) we should hit this cache hot. A cache miss should have a relatively minor affect on performance next to doing the full table search. All operations on the cache are done COMPLETELY lockless. We know that all struct sidtab_node objects created will never be deleted until a new policy is loaded thus we never have to worry about a pointer being dereferenced. Since we also know that pointer assignment is atomic we know that the cache will always have valid pointers. Given this information we implement a FIFO cache in an array of 3 pointers. Every result (whether a cache hit or table lookup) will be places in the 0 spot of the cache and the rest of the entries moved down one spot. The 3rd entry will be lost. Races are possible and are even likely to happen. Lets assume that 4 tasks are hitting sidtab_context_to_sid. The first task checks against the first entry in the cache and it is a miss. Now lets assume a second task updates the cache with a new entry. This will push the first entry back to the second spot. Now the first task might check against the second entry (which it already checked) and will miss again. Now say some third task updates the cache and push the second entry to the third spot. The first task my check the third entry (for the third time!) and again have a miss. At which point it will just do a full table lookup. No big deal! Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2010-10-21SELinux: drop useless (and incorrect) AVTAB_MAX_SIZEEric Paris
AVTAB_MAX_SIZE was a define which was supposed to be used in userspace to define a maximally sized avtab when userspace wasn't sure how big of a table it needed.

2010-10-21security: secid_to_secctx returns len when data is NULLEric Paris
With the (long ago) interface change to have the secid_to_secctx functions do the string allocation instead of having the caller do the allocation we lost the ability to query the security server for the length of the upcoming string. The SECMARK code would like to allocate a netlink skb with enough length to hold the string but it is just too unclean to do the string allocation twice or to do the allocation the first time and hold onto the string and slen. This patch adds the ability to call security_secid_to_secctx() with a NULL data pointer and it will just set the slen pointer.

2010-10-21selinux: really fix dependency causing parallel compile failure.Paul Gortmaker
While the previous change to the selinux Makefile reduced the window significantly for this failure, it is still possible to see a compile failure where cpp starts processing selinux files before the auto generated flask.h file is completed. This is easily reproduced by adding the following temporary change to expose the issue everytime: - cmd_flask = scripts/selinux/genheaders/genheaders ... + cmd_flask = sleep 30 ; scripts/selinux/genheaders/genheaders ... This failure happens because the creation of the object files in the ss subdir also depends on flask.h. So simply incorporate them into the parent Makefile, as the ss/Makefile really doesn't do anything unique. With this change, compiling of all selinux files is dependent on completion of the header file generation, and this test case with the "sleep 30" now confirms it is functioning as expected.

2010-10-21selinux: fast status update interface (/selinux/status)KaiGai Kohei
This patch provides a new /selinux/status entry which allows applications read-only mmap(2). This region reflects selinux_kernel_status structure in kernel space. struct selinux_kernel_status { u32 length; /* length of this structure */ u32 sequence; /* sequence number of seqlock logic */ u32 enforcing; /* current setting of enforcing mode */ u32 policyload; /* times of policy reloaded */ u32 deny_unknown; /* current setting of deny_unknown */ }; When userspace object manager caches access control decisions provided by SELinux, it needs to invalidate the cache on policy reload and setenforce to keep consistency. However, the applications need to check the kernel state for each accesses on userspace avc, or launch a background worker process. In heuristic, frequency of invalidation is much less than frequency of making access control decision, so it is annoying to invoke a system call to check we don't need to invalidate the userspace cache. If we can use a background worker thread, it allows to receive invalidation messages from the kernel. But it requires us an invasive coding toward the base application in some cases; E.g, when we provide a feature performing with SELinux as a plugin module, it is unwelcome manner to launch its own worker thread from the module. If we could map /selinux/status to process memory space, application can know updates of selinux status; policy reload or setenforce. A typical application checks selinux_kernel_status::sequence when it tries to reference userspace avc. If it was changed from the last time when it checked userspace avc, it means something was updated in the kernel space. Then, the application can reset userspace avc or update current enforcing mode, without any system call invocations. This sequence number is updated according to the seqlock logic, so we need to wait for a while if it is odd number.

2010-08-02selinux: convert the policy type_attr_map to flex_arrayEric Paris
Current selinux policy can have over 3000 types. The type_attr_map in policy is an array sized by the number of types times sizeof(struct ebitmap) (12 on x86_64). Basic math tells us the array is going to be of length 3000 x 12 = 36,000 bytes. The largest 'safe' allocation on a long running system is 16k. Most of the time a 32k allocation will work. But on long running systems a 64k allocation (what we need) can fail quite regularly. In order to deal with this I am converting the type_attr_map to use flex_arrays. Let the library code deal with breaking this into PAGE_SIZE pieces. -v2 rework some of the if(!obj) BUG() to be BUG_ON(!obj) drop flex_array_put() calls and just use a _get() object directly -v3 make apply to James' tree (drop the policydb_write changes) Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Acked-by: Stephen D.

2010-08-02selinux: cleanup return codes in avtab_read_item()Dan Carpenter
The avtab_read_item() function tends to return -1 as a default error code which is wrong (-1 means -EPERM).

This patch removes dead code in type_attribute_bounds_av(). Due to the historical reason, the type boundary feature is delivered from hierarchical types in libsepol, it has supported boundary features both of subject type (domain; in most cases) and target type. However, we don't have any actual use cases in bounded target types, and it tended to make conceptual confusion. So, this patch removes the dead code to apply boundary checks on the target types.
