    landlock: Support file truncation · b9f5ce27
    Günther Noack authored
    Introduce the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE flag for file truncation.
    
    This flag hooks into the path_truncate, file_truncate and
    file_alloc_security LSM hooks and covers file truncation using
    truncate(2), ftruncate(2), open(2) with O_TRUNC, as well as creat().
    
    This change also increments the Landlock ABI version, updates
    corresponding selftests, and updates code documentation to document
    the flag.
    
    In security/security.c, allocate security blobs at pointer-aligned
    offsets. This fixes the problem where one LSM's security blob can
    shift another LSM's security blob to an unaligned address (reported
    by Nathan Chancellor).
    
    The following operations are restricted:
    
    open(2): requires the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE right if a file gets
    implicitly truncated as part of the open() (e.g. using O_TRUNC).
    
    Notable special cases:
    * open(..., O_RDONLY|O_TRUNC) can truncate files as well in Linux
    * open() with O_TRUNC does *not* need the TRUNCATE right when it
      creates a new file.
    
    truncate(2) (on a path): requires the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE
    right.
    
    ftruncate(2) (on a file): requires that the file had the TRUNCATE
    right when it was previously opened. File descriptors acquired by
    other means than open(2) (e.g. memfd_create(2)) continue to support
    truncation with ftruncate(2).
