Not considering sub filesystem has the following limitation. Support for SELinux in FUSE is dependent on the particular userspace filesystem, which is identified by the subtype. For e.g, GlusterFS, a FUSE based filesystem supports SELinux (by mounting and processing FUSE requests in different threads, avoiding the mount time deadlock), whereas other FUSE based filesystems (identified by a different subtype) have the mount time deadlock. By considering the subtype of the filesytem in the SELinux policies, allows us to specify a filesystem subtype, in the following way: fs_use_xattr fuse.glusterfs gen_context(system_u:object_r:fs_t,s0); This way not all FUSE filesystems are put in the same bucket and subjected to the limitations of the other subtypes.

Currently the packet class in SELinux is not checked if there are no SECMARK rules in the security or mangle netfilter tables. Some systems prefer that packets are always checked, for example, to protect the system should the netfilter rules fail to load or if the nefilter rules were maliciously flushed. Add the always_check_network policy capability which, when enabled, treats SECMARK as enabled, even if there are no netfilter SECMARK rules and treats peer labeling as enabled, even if there is no Netlabel or labeled IPSEC configuration. Includes definition of "redhat1" SELinux policy capability, which exists in the SELinux userpace library, to keep ordering correct. The SELinux userpace portion of this was merged last year, but this kernel change fell on the floor. Signed-off-by: Chris PeBenito <cpebenito@tresys.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

When the BUG() macro is disabled at compile time it can cause some problems in the SELinux netnode code: invalid return codes and uninitialized variables. This patch fixes this by making sure we take some corrective action after the BUG() macro.

Use a helper to determine if a superblock should have the seclabel flag rather than doing it in the function. I'm going to use this in the security server as well. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Rather than passing pointers to memory locations, strings, and other stuff just give up on the separation and give security_fs_use the superblock. It just makes the code easier to read (even if not easier to reuse on some other OS) Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Just to make it clear that we have mount time options and flags, separate them. Since I decided to move the non-mount options above above 0x10, we need a short instead of a char. (x86 padding says this takes up no additional space as we have a 3byte whole in the structure) Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Currently we set the initialize and seclabel flag in one place. Do some unrelated printk then we unset the seclabel flag. Eww.

We check if the fsname is proc and if so set the proc superblock security struct flag. We then check if the flag is set and use the string 'proc' for the fsname instead of just using the fsname.

The /sys/fs/selinux/policy file is not valid on big endian systems like ppc64 or s390. Let's see why: static int hashtab_cnt(void *key, void *data, void *ptr) { int *cnt = ptr; *cnt = *cnt + 1; return 0; } static int range_write(struct policydb *p, void *fp) { size_t nel; [...] /* count the number of entries in the hashtab */ nel = 0; rc = hashtab_map(p->range_tr, hashtab_cnt, &nel); if (rc) return rc; buf[0] = cpu_to_le32(nel); rc = put_entry(buf, sizeof(u32), 1, fp); So size_t is 64 bits. But then we pass a pointer to it as we do to hashtab_cnt. hashtab_cnt thinks it is a 32 bit int and only deals with the first 4 bytes. On x86_64 which is little endian, those first 4 bytes and the least significant, so this works out fine. On ppc64/s390 those first 4 bytes of memory are the high order bits. So at the end of the call to hashtab_map nel has a HUGE number. But the least significant 32 bits are all 0's. We then pass that 64 bit number to cpu_to_le32() which happily truncates it to a 32 bit number and does endian swapping. But the low 32 bits are all 0's. So no matter how many entries are in the hashtab, big endian systems always say there are 0 entries because I screwed up the counting. The fix is easy. Use a 32 bit int, as the hashtab_cnt expects, for nel. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com>

rootfs (ramfs) can support setting of security contexts by userspace due to the vfs fallback behavior of calling the security module to set the in-core inode state for security.* attributes when the filesystem does not provide an xattr handler. No xattr handler required as the inodes are pinned in memory and have no backing store. This is useful in allowing early userspace to label individual files within a rootfs while still providing a policy-defined default via genfs.

Currently, the ebitmap_node structure has a fixed size of 32 bytes. On a 32-bit system, the overhead is 8 bytes, leaving 24 bytes for being used as bitmaps. The overhead ratio is 1/4. On a 64-bit system, the overhead is 16 bytes. Therefore, only 16 bytes are left for bitmap purpose and the overhead ratio is 1/2. With a 3.8.2 kernel, a boot-up operation will cause the ebitmap_get_bit() function to be called about 9 million times. The average number of ebitmap_node traversal is about 3.7. This patch increases the size of the ebitmap_node structure to 64 bytes for 64-bit system to keep the overhead ratio at 1/4. This may also improve performance a little bit by making node to node traversal less frequent (< 2) as more bits are available in each node.

While running the high_systime workload of the AIM7 benchmark on a 2-socket 12-core Westmere x86-64 machine running 3.10-rc4 kernel (with HT on), it was found that a pretty sizable amount of time was spent in the SELinux code. Below was the perf trace of the "perf record -a -s" of a test run at 1500 users: 5.04% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ebitmap_get_bit 1.96% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mls_level_isvalid 1.95% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_next_bit The ebitmap_get_bit() was the hottest function in the perf-report output. Both the ebitmap_get_bit() and find_next_bit() functions were, in fact, called by mls_level_isvalid(). As a result, the mls_level_isvalid() call consumed 8.95% of the total CPU time of all the 24 virtual CPUs which is quite a lot. The majority of the mls_level_isvalid() function invocations come from the socket creation system call. Looking at the mls_level_isvalid() function, it is checking to see if all the bits set in one of the ebitmap structure are also set in another one as well as the highest set bit is no bigger than the one specified by the given policydb data structure. It is doing it in a bit-by-bit manner. So if the ebitmap structure has many bits set, the iteration loop will be done many times. The current code can be rewritten to use a similar algorithm as the ebitmap_contains() function with an additional check for the highest set bit. The ebitmap_contains() function was extended to cover an optional additional check for the highest set bit, and the mls_level_isvalid() function was modified to call ebitmap_contains(). With that change, the perf trace showed that the used CPU time drop down to just 0.08% (ebitmap_contains + mls_level_isvalid) of the total which is about 100X less than before. 0.07% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ebitmap_contains 0.05% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ebitmap_get_bit 0.01% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mls_level_isvalid 0.01% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_next_bit The remaining ebitmap_get_bit() and find_next_bit() functions calls are made by other kernel routines as the new mls_level_isvalid() function will not call them anymore. This patch also improves the high_systime AIM7 benchmark result, though the improvement is not as impressive as is suggested by the reduction in CPU time spent in the ebitmap functions. The table below shows the performance change on the 2-socket x86-64 system (with HT on) mentioned above. +--------------+---------------+----------------+-----------------+ | Workload | mean % change | mean % change | mean % change | | | 10-100 users | 200-1000 users | 1100-2000 users | +--------------+---------------+----------------+-----------------+ | high_systime | +0.1% | +0.9% | +2.6% | +--------------+---------------+----------------+-----------------+ Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hp.com> Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

The xfrm_state_alloc_security() LSM hook implementation is really a multiplexed hook with two different behaviors depending on the arguments passed to it by the caller. This patch splits the LSM hook implementation into two new hook implementations, which match the LSM hooks in the rest of the kernel: * xfrm_state_alloc * xfrm_state_alloc_acquire Also included in this patch are the necessary changes to the SELinux code; no other LSMs are affected.

Pull powerpc fixes from Ben Herrenschmidt: "We discovered some breakage in our "EEH" (PCI Error Handling) code while doing error injection, due to a couple of regressions. One of them is due to a patch (37f02195 "powerpc/pci: fix PCI-e devices rescan issue on powerpc platform") that, in hindsight, I shouldn't have merged considering that it caused more problems than it solved. Please pull those two fixes. One for a simple EEH address cache initialization issue. The other one is a patch from Guenter that I had originally planned to put in 3.11 but which happens to also fix that other regression (a kernel oops during EEH error handling and possibly hotplug). With those two, the couple of test machines I've hammered with error injection are remaining up now. EEH appears to still fail to recover on some devices, so there is another problem that Gavin is looking into but at least it's no longer crashing the kernel." * 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: powerpc/pci: Improve device hotplug initialization powerpc/eeh: Add eeh_dev to the cache during boot

Due to recent changes and expecations of proper cpu bindings, there are now cases for many of the in-tree devicetrees where a WARN() will hit on boot due to badly formatted /cpus nodes. Downgrade this to a pr_warn() to be less alarmist, since it's not a new problem. Tested on Arndale, Cubox, Seaboard and Panda ES. Panda hits the WARN without this, the others do not.

Commit 37f02195 (powerpc/pci: fix PCI-e devices rescan issue on powerpc platform) fixes a problem with interrupt and DMA initialization on hot plugged devices. With this commit, interrupt and DMA initialization for hot plugged devices is handled in the pci device enable function. This approach has a couple of drawbacks. First, it creates two code paths for device initialization, one for hot plugged devices and another for devices known during the initial PCI scan. Second, the initialization code for hot plugged devices is only called when the device is enabled, ie typically in the probe function. Also, the platform specific setup code is called each time pci_enable_device() is called, not only once during device discovery, meaning it is actually called multiple times, once for devices discovered during the initial scan and again each time a driver is re-loaded. The visible result is that interrupt pins are only assigned to hot plugged devices when the device driver is loaded. Effectively this changes the PCI probe API, since pci_dev->irq and the device's dma configuration will now only be valid after pci_enable() was called at least once. A more subtle change is that platform specific PCI device setup is moved from device discovery into the driver's probe function, more specifically into the pci_enable_device() call. To fix the inconsistencies, add new function pcibios_add_device. Call pcibios_setup_device from pcibios_setup_bus_devices if device setup is not complete, and from pcibios_add_device if bus setup is complete. With this change, device setup code is moved back into device initialization, and called exactly once for both static and hot plugged devices. [ This also fixes a regression introduced by the above patch which causes dev->irq to be overwritten under some cirumstances after MSIs have been enabled for the device which leads to crashes due to the MSI core "hijacking" dev->irq to store the base MSI number and not the LSI. --BenH ] Cc: Yuanquan Chen <Yuanquan.Chen@freescale.com> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Hiroo Matsumoto <matsumoto.hiroo@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
