Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:
- Move vm_table members out of kernel/sysctl.c
All vm_table array members have moved to their respective subsystems
leading to the removal of vm_table from kernel/sysctl.c. This
increases modularity by placing the ctl_tables closer to where they
are actually used and at the same time reducing the chances of merge
conflicts in kernel/sysctl.c.
- ctl_table range fixes
Replace the proc_handler function that checks variable ranges in
coredump_sysctls and vdso_table with the one that actually uses the
extra{1,2} pointers as min/max values. This tightens the range of the
values that users can pass into the kernel effectively preventing
{under,over}flows.
- Misc fixes
Correct grammar errors and typos in test messages. Update sysctl
files in MAINTAINERS. Constified and removed array size in

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
- Add additional SELinux access controls for kernel file reads/loads
The SELinux kernel file read/load access controls were never updated
beyond the initial kernel module support, this pull request adds
support for firmware, kexec, policies, and x.509 certificates.
- Add support for wildcards in network interface names
There are a number of userspace tools which auto-generate network
interface names using some pattern of <XXXX>-<NN> where <XXXX> is a
fixed string, e.g. "podman", and <NN> is a increasing counter.
Supporting wildcards in the SELinux policy for network interfaces
simplifies the policy associted with these interfaces.
- Fix a potential problem in the kernel read file SELinux code
SELinux should always check the file label in the
security_kernel_read_file() LSM hook, regardless of if the file is
being read in chunks. Unfortunately, the existing code only
considered the file label on the first chunk; this pull request fixes
this problem.
There is more detail in the individual commit, but thankfully the
existing code didn't expose a bug due to multi-stage reads only
taking place in one driver, and that driver loading a file type that
isn't targeted by the SELinux policy.
- Fix the subshell error handling in the example policy loader
Minor fix to SELinux example policy loader in scripts/selinux due to
an undesired interaction with subshells and errexit.

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
- Mount notifications
The day has come where we finally provide a new api to listen for
mount topology changes outside of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo. A mount
namespace file descriptor can be supplied and registered with
fanotify to listen for mount topology changes.
Currently notifications for mount, umount and moving mounts are
generated. The generated notification record contains the unique
mount id of the mount.
The listmount() and statmount() api can be used to query detailed
information about the mount using the received unique mount id.
This allows userspace to figure out exactly how the mount topology
changed without having to generating diffs of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo
in userspace.
- Support O_PATH file descriptors with FSCONFIG_SET_FD in the new mount
api
- Support detached mounts in overlayfs
Since last cycle we support specifying overlayfs layers via file
descriptors. However, we don't allow detached mounts which means
userspace cannot user file descriptors received via
open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE) and fsmount() directly. They have to
attach them to a mount namespace via move_mount() first.
This is cumbersome and means they have to undo mounts via umount().
Allow them to directly use detached mounts.
- Allow to retrieve idmappings with statmount
Currently it isn't possible to figure out what idmapping has been
attached to an idmapped mount. Add an extension to statmount() which
allows to read the idmapping from the mount.
- Allow creating idmapped mounts from mounts that are already idmapped
So far it isn't possible to allow the creation of idmapped mounts
from already idmapped mounts as this has significant lifetime
implications. Make the creation of idmapped mounts atomic by allow to
pass struct mount_attr together with the open_tree_attr() system call
allowing to solve these issues without complicating VFS lookup in any
way.
The system call has in general the benefit that creating a detached
mount and applying mount attributes to it becomes an atomic operation
for userspace.
- Add a way to query statmount() for supported options
Allow userspace to query which mount information can be retrieved
through statmount().

Once a key's reference count has been reduced to 0, the garbage collector
thread may destroy it at any time and so key_put() is not allowed to touch
the key after that point. The most key_put() is normally allowed to do is
to touch key_gc_work as that's a static global variable.
However, in an effort to speed up the reclamation of quota, this is now
done in key_put() once the key's usage is reduced to 0 - but now the code
is looking at the key after the deadline, which is forbidden.
Fix this by using a flag to indicate that a key can be gc'd now rather than
looking at the key's refcount in the garbage collector.

Some filesystems, such as NFS, cifs, ceph, and fuse, do not have
complete control of sequencing on the actual filesystem (e.g. on a
different server) and may find that the inode created for a mkdir
request already exists in the icache and dcache by the time the mkdir
request returns. For example, if the filesystem is mounted twice the
directory could be visible on the other mount before it is on the
original mount, and a pair of name_to_handle_at(), open_by_handle_at()
calls could instantiate the directory inode with an IS_ROOT() dentry
before the first mkdir returns.
This means that the dentry passed to ->mkdir() may not be the one that
is associated with the inode after the ->mkdir() completes. Some
callers need to interact with the inode after the ->mkdir completes and
they currently need to perform a lookup in the (rare) case that the
dentry is no longer hashed.
This lookup-after-mkdir requires that the directory remains locked to
avoid races. Planned future patches to lock the dentry rather than the
directory will mean that this lookup cannot be performed atomically with
the mkdir.
To remove this barrier, this patch changes ->mkdir to return the
resulting dentry if it is different from the one passed in.
Possible returns are:
NULL - the directory was created and no other dentry was used
ERR_PTR() - an error occurred
non-NULL - this other dentry was spliced in
This patch only changes file-systems to return "ERR_PTR(err)" instead of
"err" or equivalent transformations. Subsequent patches will make
further changes to some file-systems to return a correct dentry.
Not all filesystems reliably result in a positive hashed dentry:
- NFS, cifs, hostfs will sometimes need to perform a lookup of
the name to get inode information. Races could result in this
returning something different. Note that this lookup is
non-atomic which is what we are trying to avoid. Placing the
lookup in filesystem code means it only happens when the filesystem
has no other option.
- kernfs and tracefs leave the dentry negative and the ->revalidate
operation ensures that lookup will be called to correctly populate
the dentry. This could be fixed but I don't think it is important
to any of the users of vfs_mkdir() which look at the dentry.
The recommendation to use
d_drop();d_splice_alias()
is ugly but fits with current practice. A planned future patch will
change this.

If SMACK label has CIPSO representation w/o categories, e.g.:
| # cat /smack/cipso2
| foo 10
| @ 250/2
| ...
then SMACK does not recognize such CIPSO in input ipv4 packets
and substitues '*' label instead. Audit records may look like
| lsm=SMACK fn=smack_socket_sock_rcv_skb action=denied
| subject="*" object="_" requested=w pid=0 comm="swapper/1" ...
This happens in two steps:
1) security/smack/smackfs.c`smk_set_cipso
does not clear NETLBL_SECATTR_MLS_CAT
from (struct smack_known *)skp->smk_netlabel.flags
on assigning CIPSO w/o categories:
| rcu_assign_pointer(skp->smk_netlabel.attr.mls.cat, ncats.attr.mls.cat);
| skp->smk_netlabel.attr.mls.lvl = ncats.attr.mls.lvl;
2) security/smack/smack_lsm.c`smack_from_secattr
can not match skp->smk_netlabel with input packet's
struct netlbl_lsm_secattr *sap
because sap->flags have not NETLBL_SECATTR_MLS_CAT (what is correct)
but skp->smk_netlabel.flags have (what is incorrect):
| if ((sap->flags & NETLBL_SECATTR_MLS_CAT) == 0) {
| if ((skp->smk_netlabel.flags &
| NETLBL_SECATTR_MLS_CAT) == 0)
| found = 1;
| break;
| }
This commit sets/clears NETLBL_SECATTR_MLS_CAT in
skp->smk_netlabel.flags according to the presense of CIPSO categories.

still may be incorrect during short time while update proceeds.

Since inception [1], SMACK initializes ipv* child socket security
for connection-oriented communications (tcp/sctp/dccp)
during accept() syscall, in the security_sock_graft() hook:
| void smack_sock_graft(struct sock *sk, ...)
| {
| // only ipv4 and ipv6 are eligible here
| // ...
| ssp = sk->sk_security; // socket security
| ssp->smk_in = skp; // process label: smk_of_current()
| ssp->smk_out = skp; // process label: smk_of_current()
| }
This approach is incorrect for two reasons:
A) initialization occurs too late for child socket security:
The child socket is created by the kernel once the handshake
completes (e.g., for tcp: after receiving ack for syn+ack).
Data can legitimately start arriving to the child socket
immediately, long before the application calls accept()
on the socket.
Those data are (currently — were) processed by SMACK using
incorrect child socket security attributes.
B) Incoming connection requests are handled using the listening
socket's security, hence, the child socket must inherit the
listening socket's security attributes.
smack_sock_graft() initilizes the child socket's security with
a process label, as is done for a new socket()
But ... the process label is not necessarily the same as the
listening socket label. A privileged application may legitimately
set other in/out labels for a listening socket.
When this happens, SMACK processes incoming packets using
incorrect socket security attributes.
In [2] Michael Lontke noticed (A) and fixed it in [3] by adding
socket initialization into security_sk_clone_security() hook like
| void smack_sk_clone_security(struct sock *oldsk, struct sock *newsk)
| {
| *(struct socket_smack *)newsk->sk_security =
| *(struct socket_smack *)oldsk->sk_security;
| }
This initializes the child socket security with the parent (listening)
socket security at the appropriate time.
I was forced to revisit this old story because
smack_sock_graft() was left in place by [3] and continues overwriting
the child socket's labels with the process label,
and there might be a reason for this, so I undertook a study.
If the process label differs from the listening socket's labels,
the following occurs for ipv4:
assigning the smk_out is not accompanied by netlbl_sock_setattr,
so the outgoing packet's cipso label does not change.
So, the only effect of this assignment for interhost communications
is a divergence between the program-visible “out” socket label and
the cipso network label. For intrahost communications this label,
however, becomes visible via secmark netfilter marking, and is
checked for access rights by the client, receiving side.
Assigning the smk_in affects both interhost and intrahost
communications: the server begins to check access rights against
an wrong label.
Access check against wrong label (smk_in or smk_out),
unsurprisingly fails, breaking the connection.
The above affects protocols that calls security_sock_graft()
during accept(), namely: {tcp,dccp,sctp}/{ipv4,ipv6}
One extra security_sock_graft() caller, crypto/af_alg.c`af_alg_accept
is not affected, because smack_sock_graft() does nothing for PF_ALG.
To reproduce, assign non-default in/out labels to a listening socket,
setup rules between these labels and client label, attempt to connect
and send some data.
Ipv6 specific: ipv6 packets do not convey SMACK labels. To reproduce
the issue in interhost communications set opposite labels in
/smack/ipv6host on both hosts.
Ipv6 intrahost communications do not require tricking, because SMACK
labels are conveyed via secmark netfilter marking.
So, currently smack_sock_graft() is not useful, but harmful,
therefore, I have removed it.
This fixes the issue for {tcp,dccp}/{ipv4,ipv6},
but not sctp/{ipv4,ipv6}.
Although this change is necessary for sctp+smack to function
correctly, it is not sufficient because:
sctp/ipv4 does not call security_sk_clone() and
sctp/ipv6 ignores SMACK completely.
These are separate issues, belong to other subsystem,
and should be addressed separately.

I want to be sure that ipv6-specific code
is not compiled in kernel binaries
if ipv6 is not configured.
[1] was getting rid of "unused variable" warning, but,
with that, it also mandated compilation of a handful ipv6-
specific functions in ipv4-only kernel configurations:
smk_ipv6_localhost, smack_ipv6host_label, smk_ipv6_check.
Their compiled bodies are likely to be removed by compiler
from the resulting binary, but, to be on the safe side,
I remove them from the compiler view.

It is desirable to allow LSM to configure accessibility to io_uring
because it is a coarse yet very simple way to restrict access to it. So,
add an LSM for io_uring_allowed() to guard access to io_uring.

Commit 2039bda1fa ("LSM: Add "contents" flag to kernel_read_file hook")
added a new flag to the security_kernel_read_file() LSM hook, "contents",
which was set if a file was being read in its entirety or if it was the
first chunk read in a multi-step process. The SELinux LSM callback was
updated to only check against the file label if this "contents" flag was
set, meaning that in multi-step reads the file label was not considered
in the access control decision after the initial chunk.
Thankfully the only in-tree user that performs a multi-step read is the
"bcm-vk" driver and it is loading firmware, not a kernel module, so there
are no security regressions to worry about. However, we still want to
ensure that the SELinux code does the right thing, and *always* checks
the file label, especially as there is a chance the file could change
between chunk reads.

The dac_mmap_min_addr belongs to min_addr.c, move it to
min_addr.c from /kernel/sysctl.c. In the previous Linux kernel
boot process, sysctl_init_bases needs to be executed before
init_mmap_min_addr, So, register_sysctl_init should be executed
before update_mmap_min_addr in init_mmap_min_addr. And according
to the compilation condition in security/Makefile:
obj-$(CONFIG_MMU) += min_addr.o
if CONFIG_MMU is not defined, min_addr.c would not be included in the
compilation process. So, drop the CONFIG_MMU check.

Commit 0d73a55208 ("ima: re-introduce own integrity cache lock")
mistakenly reverted the performance improvement introduced in commit
42a4c60319 ("ima: fix ima_inode_post_setattr"). The unused bit mask was
subsequently removed by commit 11c60f23ed ("integrity: Remove unused
macro IMA_ACTION_RULE_FLAGS").
Restore the performance improvement by introducing the new mask
IMA_NONACTION_RULE_FLAGS, equal to IMA_NONACTION_FLAGS without
IMA_NEW_FILE, which is not a rule-specific flag.
Finally, reset IMA_NONACTION_RULE_FLAGS instead of IMA_NONACTION_FLAGS in
process_measurement(), if the IMA_CHANGE_ATTR atomic flag is set (after
file metadata modification).
With this patch, new files for which metadata were modified while they are
still open, can be reopened before the last file close (when security.ima
is written), since the IMA_NEW_FILE flag is not cleared anymore. Otherwise,
appraisal fails because security.ima is missing (files with IMA_NEW_FILE
set are an exception).

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25c ("sysctl: treewide:

proc_handlers.

Pull fsnotify pre-content notification support from Jan Kara:
"This introduces a new fsnotify event (FS_PRE_ACCESS) that gets
generated before a file contents is accessed.
The event is synchronous so if there is listener for this event, the
kernel waits for reply. On success the execution continues as usual,
on failure we propagate the error to userspace. This allows userspace
to fill in file content on demand from slow storage. The context in
which the events are generated has been picked so that we don't hold
any locks and thus there's no risk of a deadlock for the userspace
handler.
The new pre-content event is available only for users with global
CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (similarly to other parts of fanotify
functionality) and it is an administrator responsibility to make sure
the userspace event handler doesn't do stupid stuff that can DoS the
system.
Based on your feedback from the last submission, fsnotify code has
been improved and now file->f_mode encodes whether pre-content event
needs to be generated for the file so the fast path when nobody wants
pre-content event for the file just grows the additional file->f_mode
check. As a bonus this also removes the checks whether the old
FS_ACCESS event needs to be generated from the fast path. Also the
place where the event is generated during page fault has been moved so
now filemap_fault() generates the event if and only if there is no
uptodate folio in the page cache.
Also we have dropped FS_PRE_MODIFY event as current real-world users
of the pre-content functionality don't really use it so let's start
with the minimal useful feature set"
