2009-09-23SELinux: do not destroy the avc_cache_nodepEric Paris
The security_ops reset done when SELinux is disabled at run time is done after the avc cache is freed and after the kmem_cache for the avc is also freed. This means that between the time the selinux disable code destroys the avc_node_cachep another process could make a security request and could try to allocate from the cache. We are just going to leave the cachep around, like we always have. SELinux: Disabled at runtime.

2009-08-17SELinux: Convert avc_audit to use lsm_audit.hThomas Liu
Convert avc_audit in security/selinux/avc.c to use lsm_audit.h, for better maintainability. - changed selinux to use common_audit_data instead of avc_audit_data - eliminated code in avc.c and used code from lsm_audit.h instead. Had to add a LSM_AUDIT_NO_AUDIT to lsm_audit.h so that avc_audit can call common_lsm_audit and do the pre and post callbacks without doing the actual dump. This makes it so that the patched version behaves the same way as the unpatched version. Also added a denied field to the selinux_audit_data private space, once again to make it so that the patched version behaves like the unpatched. I've tested and confirmed that AVCs look the same before and after this patch.

2009-04-02Permissive domain in userspace object managerKaiGai Kohei
This patch enables applications to handle permissive domain correctly. Since the v2.6.26 kernel, SELinux has supported an idea of permissive domain which allows certain processes to work as if permissive mode, even if the global setting is enforcing mode. However, we don't have an application program interface to inform what domains are permissive one, and what domains are not. It means applications focuses on SELinux (XACE/SELinux, SE-PostgreSQL and so on) cannot handle permissive domain correctly. This patch add the sixth field (flags) on the reply of the /selinux/access interface which is used to make an access control decision from userspace. If the first bit of the flags field is positive, it means the required access control decision is on permissive domain, so application should allow any required actions, as the kernel doing. This patch also has a side benefit. The av_decision.flags is set at context_struct_compute_av(). It enables to check required permissions without read_lock(&policy_rwlock).

2009-02-14SELinux: convert the avc cache hash list to an hlistEric Paris
We do not need O(1) access to the tail of the avc cache lists and so we are wasting lots of space using struct list_head instead of struct hlist_head. This patch converts the avc cache to use hlists in which there is a single pointer from the head which saves us about 4k of global memory. Resulted in about a 1.5% decrease in time spent in avc_has_perm_noaudit based on oprofile sampling of tbench. Although likely within the noise....

2009-02-14SELinux: remove unused av.decided fieldEric Paris
It appears there was an intention to have the security server only decide certain permissions and leave other for later as some sort of a portential performance win. We are currently always deciding all 32 bits of permissions and this is a useless couple of branches and wasted space. This patch completely drops the av.decided concept.

2009-02-14SELinux: remove the unused ae.usedEric Paris
Currently SELinux code has an atomic which was intended to track how many times an avc entry was used and to evict entries when they haven't been used recently. Instead we never let this atomic get above 1 and evict when it is first checked for eviction since it hits zero. This is a total waste of time so I'm completely dropping ae.used.

2009-01-05SELinux: shrink sizeof av_inhert selinux_class_perm and contextEric Paris
I started playing with pahole today and decided to put it against the selinux structures. Found we could save a little bit of space on x86_64 (and no harm on i686) just reorganizing some structs. Object size changes: av_inherit: 24 -> 16 selinux_class_perm: 48 -> 40 context: 80 -> 72 Admittedly there aren't many of av_inherit or selinux_class_perm's in the kernel (33 and 1 respectively) But the change to the size of struct context reverberate out a bit. I can get some hard number if they are needed, but I don't see why they would be. We do change which cacheline context->len and context->str would be on, but I don't see that as a problem since we are clearly going to have to load both if the context is to be of any value. I've run with the patch and don't seem to be having any problems. An example of what's going on using struct av_inherit would be: form: to: struct av_inherit { struct av_inherit { u16 tclass; const char **common_pts; const char **common_pts; u32 common_base; u32 common_base; u16 tclass; }; (notice all I did was move u16 tclass to the end of the struct instead of the beginning) Memory layout before the change: struct av_inherit { u16 tclass; /* 2 */ /* 6 bytes hole */ const char** common_pts; /* 8 */ u32 common_base; /* 4 */ /* 4 byes padding */ /* size: 24, cachelines: 1 */ /* sum members: 14, holes: 1, sum holes: 6 */ /* padding: 4 */ }; Memory layout after the change: struct av_inherit { const char ** common_pts; /* 8 */ u32 common_base; /* 4 */ u16 tclass; /* 2 */ /* 2 bytes padding */ /* size: 16, cachelines: 1 */ /* sum members: 14, holes: 0, sum holes: 0 */ /* padding: 2 */ }; Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

2008-08-29SELinux: add boundary support and thread context assignmentKaiGai Kohei
The purpose of this patch is to assign per-thread security context under a constraint. It enables multi-threaded server application to kick a request handler with its fair security context, and helps some of userspace object managers to handle user's request. When we assign a per-thread security context, it must not have wider permissions than the original one. Because a multi-threaded process shares a single local memory, an arbitary per-thread security context also means another thread can easily refer violated information. The constraint on a per-thread security context requires a new domain has to be equal or weaker than its original one, when it tries to assign a per-thread security context. Bounds relationship between two types is a way to ensure a domain can never have wider permission than its bounds. We can define it in two explicit or implicit ways. The first way is using new TYPEBOUNDS statement. It enables to define a boundary of types explicitly. The other one expand the concept of existing named based hierarchy. If we defines a type with "." separated name like "httpd_t.php", toolchain implicitly set its bounds on "httpd_t". This feature requires a new policy version. The 24th version (POLICYDB_VERSION_BOUNDARY) enables to ship them into kernel space, and the following patch enables to handle it.

2007-07-22[PATCH] get rid of AVC_PATH postponed treatmentAl Viro
Selinux folks had been complaining about the lack of AVC_PATH records when audit is disabled. I must admit my stupidity - I assumed that avc_audit() really couldn't use audit_log_d_path() because of deadlocks (== could be called with dcache_lock or vfsmount_lock held). Shouldn't have made that assumption - it never gets called that way. It _is_ called under spinlocks, but not those. Since audit_log_d_path() uses ab->gfp_mask for allocations, kmalloc() in there is not a problem. IOW, the simple fix is sufficient: let's rip AUDIT_AVC_PATH out and simply generate pathname as part of main record. It's trivial to do.

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either. This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create() completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves, or the documentation references).

2007-07-11SELinux: allow preemption between transition permission checksStephen Smalley
In security_get_user_sids, move the transition permission checks outside of the section holding the policy rdlock, and use the AVC to perform the checks, calling cond_resched after each one. These changes should allow preemption between the individual checks and enable caching of the results. It may however increase the overall time spent in the function in some cases, particularly in the cache miss case. The long term fix will be to take much of this logic to userspace by exporting additional state via selinuxfs, and ultimately deprecating and eliminating this interface from the kernel.

Moves the definition of the 3 structs containing object class and permission definitions from avc.c to avc_ss.h so that the security server can access them for validation on policy load. This also adds a new struct type, defined_classes_perms_t, suitable for allowing the security server to access these data structures from the avc.

2006-05-01[PATCH] support for context based audit filteringDarrel Goeddel
The following patch provides selinux interfaces that will allow the audit system to perform filtering based on the process context (user, role, type, sensitivity, and clearance). These interfaces will allow the selinux module to perform efficient matches based on lower level selinux constructs, rather than relying on context retrievals and string comparisons within the audit module. It also allows for dominance checks on the mls portion of the contexts that are impossible with only string comparisons.

2005-06-22AUDIT: Wait for backlog to clear when generating messages.David Woodhouse
Add a gfp_mask to audit_log_start() and audit_log(), to reduce the amount of GFP_ATOMIC allocation -- most of it doesn't need to be GFP_ATOMIC. Also if the mask includes __GFP_WAIT, then wait up to 60 seconds for the auditd backlog to clear instead of immediately abandoning the message. The timeout should probably be made configurable, but for now it'll suffice that it only happens if auditd is actually running. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2005-05-24AUDIT: Fix remaining cases of direct logging of untrusted strings by avc_auditStephen Smalley
Per Steve Grubb's observation that there are some remaining cases where avc_audit() directly logs untrusted strings without escaping them, here is a patch that changes avc_audit() to use audit_log_untrustedstring() or audit_log_hex() as appropriate. Note that d_name.name is nul- terminated by d_alloc(), and that sun_path is nul-terminated by unix_mkname(), so it is not necessary for the AVC to create nul- terminated copies or to alter audit_log_untrustedstring to take a length argument. In the case of an abstract name, we use audit_log_hex() with an explicit length. Signed-off-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

They'll all be logged correctly if full auditing is enabled, but we should still print them in case auditing _isn't_ enabled. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
