      scripts/selinux,selinux: update mdp to enable policy capabilities · 339949be
      Stephen Smalley authored
      
      Presently mdp does not enable any SELinux policy capabilities
      in the dummy policy it generates. Thus, policies derived from
      it will by default lack various features commonly used in modern
      policies such as open permission, extended socket classes, network
      peer controls, etc.  Split the policy capability definitions out into
      their own headers so that we can include them into mdp without pulling in
      other kernel headers and extend mdp generate policycap statements for the
      policy capabilities known to the kernel.  Policy authors may wish to
      selectively remove some of these from the generated policy.

      kbuild: introduce hostprogs-always-y and userprogs-always-y · faabed29
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      To build host programs, you need to add the program names to 'hostprogs'
      to use the necessary build rule, but it is not enough to build them
      because there is no dependency.
      
      There are two types of host programs: built as the prerequisite of
      another (e.g. gen_crc32table in lib/Makefile), or always built when
      Kbuild visits the Makefile (e.g. genksyms in scripts/genksyms/Makefile).
      
      The latter is typical in Makefiles under scripts/, which contains host
      programs globally used during the kernel build. To build them, you need
      to add them to both 'hostprogs' and 'always-y'.
      
      This commit adds hostprogs-always-y as a shorthand.
      
      The same applies to user programs. net/bpfilter/Makefile builds
      bpfilter_umh on demand, hence always-y is unneeded. In contrast,
      programs under samples/ are added to both 'userprogs' and 'always-y'
      so they are always built when Kbuild visits the Makefiles.
      
      userprogs-always-y works as a shorthand.

      selinux: remove unused initial SIDs and improve handling · e3e0b582
      Stephen Smalley authored
      Remove initial SIDs that have never been used or are no longer used by
      the kernel from its string table, which is also used to generate the
      SECINITSID_* symbols referenced in code.  Update the code to
      gracefully handle the fact that these can now be NULL. Stop treating
      it as an error if a policy defines additional initial SIDs unknown to
      the kernel.  Do not load unused initial SID contexts into the sidtab.
      Fix the incorrect usage of the name from the ocontext in error
      messages when loading initial SIDs since these are not presently
      written to the kernel policy and are therefore always NULL.
      
      After this change, it is possible to safely reclaim and reuse some of
      the unused initial SIDs without compatibility issues.  Specifically,
      unused initial SIDs that were being assigned the same context as the
      unlabeled initial SID in policies can be reclaimed and reused for
      another purpose, with existing policies still treating them as having
      the unlabeled context and future policies having the option of mapping
      them to a more specific context.  For example, this could have been
      used when the infiniband labeling support was introduced to define
      initial SIDs for the default pkey and endport SIDs similar to the
      handling of port/netif/node SIDs rather than always using
      SECINITSID_UNLABELED as the default.
      
      The set of safely reclaimable unused initial SIDs across all known
      policies is igmp_packet (13), icmp_socket (14), tcp_socket (15), kmod
      (24), policy (25), and scmp_packet (26); these initial SIDs were
      assigned the same context as unlabeled in all known policies including
      mls.  If only considering non-mls policies (i.e. assuming that mls
      users always upgrade policy with their kernels), the set of safely
      reclaimable unused initial SIDs further includes file_labels (6), init
      (7), sysctl_modprobe (16), and sysctl_fs (18) through sysctl_dev (23).
      
      Adding new initial SIDs beyond SECINITSID_NUM to policy unfortunately
      became a fatal error in commit 24ed7fda ("selinux: use separate
      table for initial SID lookup") and even before that it could cause
      problems on a policy reload (collision between the new initial SID and
      one allocated at runtime) ever since commit 42596eaf ("selinux:
      load the initial SIDs upon every policy load") so we cannot safely
      start adding new initial SIDs to policies beyond SECINITSID_NUM (27)
      until such a time as all such kernels do not need to be supported and
      only those that include this commit are relevant. That is not a big
      deal since we haven't added a new initial SID since 2004 (v2.6.7) and
      we have plenty of unused ones we can reclaim if we truly need one.
      
      If we want to avoid the wasted storage in initial_sid_to_string[]
      and/or sidtab->isids[] for the unused initial SIDs, we could introduce
      an indirection between the kernel initial SID values and the policy
      initial SID values and just map the policy SID values in the ocontexts
      to the kernel values during policy_load_isids(). Originally I thought
      we'd do this by preserving the initial SID names in the kernel policy
      and creating a mapping at load time like we do for the security
      classes and permissions but that would require a new kernel policy
      format version and associated changes to libsepol/checkpolicy and I'm
      not sure it is justified. Simpler approach is just to create a fixed
      mapping table in the kernel from the existing fixed policy values to
      the kernel values. Less flexible but probably sufficient.
      
      A separate selinux userspace change was applied in
      https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/commit/8677ce5e8f592950ae6f14cea1b68a20ddc1ac25
      to enable removal of most of the unused initial SID contexts from
      policies, but there is no dependency between that change and this one.
      That change permits removing all of the unused initial SID contexts
      from policy except for the fs and sysctl SID contexts.  The initial
      SID declarations themselves would remain in policy to preserve the
      values of subsequent ones but the contexts can be dropped.  If/when
      the kernel decides to reuse one of them, future policies can change
      the name and start assigning a context again without breaking
      compatibility.
      
      Here is how I would envision staging changes to the initial SIDs in a
      compatible manner after this commit is applied:
      
      1. At any time after this commit is applied, the kernel could choose
      to reclaim one of the safely reclaimable unused initial SIDs listed
      above for a new purpose (i.e. replace its NULL entry in the
      initial_sid_to_string[] table with a new name and start using the
      newly generated SECINITSID_name symbol in code), and refpolicy could
      at that time rename its declaration of that initial SID to reflect its
      new purpose and start assigning it a context going
      forward. Existing/old policies would map the reclaimed initial SID to
      the unlabeled context, so that would be the initial default behavior
      until policies are updated. This doesn't depend on the selinux
      userspace change; it will work with existing policies and userspace.
      
      2. In 6 months or so we'll have another SELinux userspace release that
      will include the libsepol/checkpolicy support for omitting unused
      initial SID contexts.
      
      3. At any time after that release, refpolicy can make that release its
      minimum build requirement and drop the sid context statements (but not
      the sid declarations) for all of the unused initial SIDs except for
      fs and sysctl, which must remain for compatibility on policy
      reload with old kernels and for compatibility with kernels that were
      still using SECINITSID_SYSCTL (< 2.6.39). This doesn't depend on this
      kernel commit; it will work with previous kernels as well.
      
      4. After N years for some value of N, refpolicy decides that it no
      longer cares about policy reload compatibility for kernels that
      predate this kernel commit, and refpolicy drops the fs and sysctl
      SID contexts from policy too (but retains the declarations).
      
      5. After M years for some value of M, the kernel decides that it no
      longer cares about compatibility with refpolicies that predate step 4
      (dropping the fs and sysctl SIDs), and those two SIDs also become
      safely reclaimable.  This step is optional and need not ever occur unless
      we decide that the need to reclaim those two SIDs outweighs the
      compatibility cost.
      
      6. After O years for some value of O, refpolicy decides that it no
      longer cares about policy load (not just reload) compatibility for
      kernels that predate this kernel commit, and both kernel and refpolicy
      can then start adding and using new initial SIDs beyond 27. This does
      not depend on the previous change (step 5) and can occur independent
      of it.

      kbuild: rename hostprogs-y/always to hostprogs/always-y · 5f2fb52f
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host
      programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004.
      
      It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to
      selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration.
      
      This commit renames like follows:
      
        always       ->  always-y
        hostprogs-y  ->  hostprogs
      
      So, scripts/Makefile will look like this:
      
        always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ...
        always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS)    += ...
            ...
        hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m)
      
      I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host
      program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify
      which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier.
      
      The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward
      compatibility for a while.

      scripts/selinux: modernize mdp · e37c1877
      Stephen Smalley authored
      
      Derived in part from a patch by Dominick Grift.
      
      The MDP example no longer works on modern systems.  Fix it.
      While we are at it, add MLS support and enable it.
      
      NB This still does not work on systems using dbus-daemon instead of
      dbus-broker because dbus-daemon does not yet gracefully handle unknown
      classes/permissions.  This appears to be a deficiency in libselinux's
      selinux_set_mapping() interface and underlying implementation,
      which was never fully updated to deal with unknown classes/permissions
      unlike the kernel.  The same problem also occurs with XSELinux.
      Programs that instead use selinux_check_access() like dbus-broker
      should not have this problem.
      
      Changes to mdp:
      Add support for devtmpfs, required by modern Linux distributions.
      Add MLS support, with sample sensitivities, categories, and constraints.
      Generate fs_use and genfscon rules based on kernel configuration.
      Update list of filesystem types for fs_use and genfscon rules.
      Use object_r for object contexts.
      
      Changes to install_policy.sh:
      Bail immediately on any errors.
      Provide more helpful error messages when unable to find userspace tools.
      Refuse to run if SELinux is already enabled.
      Unconditionally move aside /etc/selinux/config and create a new one.
      Build policy with -U allow so that userspace object managers do not break.
      Build policy with MLS enabled by default.
      Create seusers, failsafe_context, and default_contexts for use by
      pam_selinux / libselinux.
      Create x_contexts for the SELinux X extension.
      Create virtual_domain_context and virtual_image_context for libvirtd.
      Set to permissive mode rather than enforcing to permit initial autorelabel.
      Update the list of filesystem types to be relabeled.
      Write -F to /.autorelabel to cause a forced autorelabel on reboot.
      Drop broken attempt to relabel the /dev mountpoint directory.

      Please, use at least K&R C; printf had been able to left-adjust

      width had been there since v7.  Yes, the first edition of K&R
      didn't cover the latter feature (it slightly predates v7), but
      you are using a much later feature of the language than that -
      in K&R C
      static char *stoupperx(const char *s)
      {
      ...

      would've been spelled as
      static char *stoupperx(s)
      char *s;
      {
      ...
      }
      
      While we are at it, the use of strstr() is bogus - it finds the
      _first_ instance of substring, so it's a lousy fit for checking
      if a string ends with given suffix...

      staging: lustre: delete the filesystem from the tree. · be65f9ed
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored
      
      The Lustre filesystem has been in the kernel tree for over 5 years now.
      While it has been an endless source of enjoyment for new kernel
      developers learning how to do basic codingstyle cleanups, as well as an
      semi-entertaining source of bewilderment from the vfs developers any
      time they have looked into the codebase to try to figure out how to port
      their latest api changes to this filesystem, it has not really moved
      forward into the "this is in shape to get out of staging" despite many
      half-completed attempts.
      
      And getting code out of staging is the main goal of that portion of the
      kernel tree.  Code should not stagnate and it feels like having this
      code in staging is only causing the development cycle of the filesystem
      to take longer than it should.  There is a whole separate out-of-tree
      copy of this codebase where the developers work on it, and then random
      changes are thrown over the wall at staging at some later point in time.
      This dual-tree development model has never worked, and the state of this
      codebase is proof of that.
      
      So, let's just delete the whole mess.  Now the lustre developers can go
      off and work in their out-of-tree codebase and not have to worry about
      providing valid changelog entries and breaking their patches up into
      logical pieces.  They can take the time they have spend doing those
      types of housekeeping chores and get the codebase into a much better
      shape, and it can be submitted for inclusion into the real part of the
      kernel tree when ready.

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored
      
      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.

      selinux: include sys/socket.h in host programs to have PF_MAX · c017c71c
      Nicolas Iooss authored
      
      Compiling with clang and -Wundef makes the compiler report a usage of
      undefined PF_MAX macro in security/selinux/include/classmap.h:
      
          In file included from scripts/selinux/mdp/mdp.c:48:

          security/selinux/include/classmap.h:235:5: error: 'PF_MAX' is not
          defined, evaluates to 0 [-Werror,-Wundef]
          #if PF_MAX > 43
              ^
          In file included from scripts/selinux/genheaders/genheaders.c:17:

          struct security_class_mapping secclass_map[] = {

          #if PF_MAX > 43
              ^
      
      PF_MAX is defined in include/linux/socket.h but not in
      include/uapi/linux/socket.h. Therefore host programs have to rely on the
      definition from libc's /usr/include/bits/socket.h, included by
      <sys/socket.h>.
      
      Fix the issue by using sys/socket.h in mdp and genheaders. When
      classmap.h is included by security/selinux/avc.c, it uses the kernel
      definition of PF_MAX, which makes the test consistent.

      selinux: use the kernel headers when building scripts/selinux · bfc5e3a6
      Paul Moore authored
      
      Commit 3322d0d6 ("selinux: keep SELinux in sync with new capability
      definitions") added a check on the defined capabilities without
      explicitly including the capability header file which caused problems
      when building genheaders for users of clang/llvm.  Resolve this by
      using the kernel headers when building genheaders, which is arguably
      the right thing to do regardless, and explicitly including the
      kernel's capability.h header file in classmap.h.  We also update the
      mdp build, even though it wasn't causing an error we really should
      be using the headers from the kernel we are building.

      selinux: generate flask headers during kernel build · 8753f6be
      Stephen Smalley authored
      
      Add a simple utility (scripts/selinux/genheaders) and invoke it to
      generate the kernel-private class and permission indices in flask.h
      and av_permissions.h automatically during the kernel build from the
      security class mapping definitions in classmap.h.  Adding new kernel
      classes and permissions can then be done just by adding them to classmap.h.

      selinux: dynamic class/perm discovery · c6d3aaa4
      Stephen Smalley authored
      
      Modify SELinux to dynamically discover class and permission values
      upon policy load, based on the dynamic object class/perm discovery
      logic from libselinux.  A mapping is created between kernel-private
      class and permission indices used outside the security server and the
      policy values used within the security server.
      
      The mappings are only applied upon kernel-internal computations;
      similar mappings for the private indices of userspace object managers
      is handled on a per-object manager basis by the userspace AVC.  The
      interfaces for compute_av and transition_sid are split for kernel
      vs. userspace; the userspace functions are distinguished by a _user
      suffix.
      
      The kernel-private class indices are no longer tied to the policy
      values and thus do not need to skip indices for userspace classes;
      thus the kernel class index values are compressed.  The flask.h
      definitions were regenerated by deleting the userspace classes from
      refpolicy's definitions and then regenerating the headers.  Going
      forward, we can just maintain the flask.h, av_permissions.h, and
      classmap.h definitions separately from policy as they are no longer
      tied to the policy values.  The next patch introduces a utility to
      automate generation of flask.h and av_permissions.h from the
      classmap.h definitions.
      
      The older kernel class and permission string tables are removed and
      replaced by a single security class mapping table that is walked at
      policy load to generate the mapping.  The old kernel class validation
      logic is completely replaced by the mapping logic.
      
      The handle unknown logic is reworked.  reject_unknown=1 is handled
      when the mappings are computed at policy load time, similar to the old
      handling by the class validation logic.  allow_unknown=1 is handled
      when computing and mapping decisions - if the permission was not able
      to be mapped (i.e. undefined, mapped to zero), then it is
      automatically added to the allowed vector.  If the class was not able
      to be mapped (i.e. undefined, mapped to zero), then all permissions
      are allowed for it if allow_unknown=1.
      
      avc_audit leverages the new security class mapping table to lookup the
      class and permission names from the kernel-private indices.
      
      The mdp program is updated to use the new table when generating the
      class definitions and allow rules for a minimal boot policy for the
      kernel.  It should be noted that this policy will not include any
      userspace classes, nor will its policy index values for the kernel
      classes correspond with the ones in refpolicy (they will instead match
      the kernel-private indices).

      selinux: add support for installing a dummy policy (v2) · 93c06cbb
      Serge E. Hallyn authored
      
      In August 2006 I posted a patch generating a minimal SELinux policy.  This
      week, David P. Quigley posted an updated version of that as a patch against
      the kernel.  It also had nice logic for auto-installing the policy.
      
      Following is David's original patch intro (preserved especially
      bc it has stats on the generated policies):
      
      se interested in the changes there were only two significant
      changes. The first is that the iteration through the list of classes
      used NULL as a sentinel value. The problem with this is that the
      class_to_string array actually has NULL entries in its table as place
      holders for the user space object classes.
      
      The second change was that it would seem at some point the initial sids
      table was NULL terminated. This is no longer the case so that iteration
      has to be done on array length instead of looking for NULL.
      
      Some statistics on the policy that it generates:
      
      The policy consists of 523 lines which contain no blank lines. Of those
      523 lines 453 of them are class, permission, and initial sid
      definitions. These lines are usually little to no concern to the policy
      developer since they will not be adding object classes or permissions.
      Of the remaining 70 lines there is one type, one role, and one user
      statement. The remaining lines are broken into three portions. The first
      group are TE allow rules which make up 29 of the remaining lines, the
      second is assignment of labels to the initial sids which consist of 27
      lines, and file system labeling statements which are the remaining 11.
      
      In addition to the policy.conf generated there is a single file_contexts
      file containing two lines which labels the entire system with base_t.
      
      This policy generates a policy.23 binary that is 7920 bytes.
      
      (then a few versions later...):
      
      The new policy is 587 lines (stripped of blank lines) with 476 of those
      lines being the boilerplate that I mentioned last time. The remaining
      111 lines have the 3 lines for type, user, and role, 70 lines for the
      allow rules (one for each object class including user space object
      classes), 27 lines to assign types to the initial sids, and 11 lines for
      file system labeling. The policy binary is 9194 bytes.
      
      Changelog:
      
      	Aug 26: Added Documentation/SELinux.txt
      	Aug 26: Incorporated a set of comments by Stephen Smalley:
      		1. auto-setup SELINUXTYPE=dummy
      		2. don't auto-install if selinux is enabled with
      			non-dummy policy
      		3. don't re-compute policy version
      		4. /sbin/setfiles not /usr/sbin/setfiles
      	Aug 22: As per JMorris comments, made sure make distclean
      		cleans up the mdp directory.
      		Removed a check for file_contexts which is now
      		created in the same file as the check, making it
      		superfluous.
