2007-06-08[NetLabel]: consolidate the struct socket/sock handling to just struct sockPaul Moore
The current NetLabel code has some redundant APIs which allow both "struct socket" and "struct sock" types to be used; this may have made sense at some point but it is wasteful now. Remove the functions that operate on sockets and convert the callers. Not only does this make the code smaller and more consistent but it pushes the locking burden up to the caller which can be more intelligent about the locks. Also, perform the same conversion (socket to sock) on the SELinux/NetLabel glue code where it make sense.

2007-04-26SELinux: extract the NetLabel SELinux support from the security serverPaul Moore
Up until this patch the functions which have provided NetLabel support to SELinux have been integrated into the SELinux security server, which for various reasons is not really ideal. This patch makes an effort to extract as much of the NetLabel support from the security server as possibile and move it into it's own file within the SELinux directory structure.

2006-12-02NetLabel: convert to an extensibile/sparse category bitmapPaul Moore
The original NetLabel category bitmap was a straight char bitmap which worked fine for the initial release as it only supported 240 bits due to limitations in the CIPSO restricted bitmap tag (tag type 0x01). This patch converts that straight char bitmap into an extensibile/sparse bitmap in order to lay the foundation for other CIPSO tag types and protocols. This patch also has a nice side effect in that all of the security attributes passed by NetLabel into the LSM are now in a format which is in the host's native byte/bit ordering which makes the LSM specific code much simpler; look at the changes in security/selinux/ss/ebitmap.c as an example.

2006-12-02NetLabel: check for a CIPSOv4 option before we do call into the CIPSOv4 layerPaul Moore
Right now the NetLabel code always jumps into the CIPSOv4 layer to determine if a CIPSO IP option is present. However, we can do this check directly in the NetLabel code by making use of the CIPSO_V4_OPTEXIST() macro which should save us a function call in the common case of not having a CIPSOv4 option present.

2006-12-02NetLabel: make netlbl_lsm_secattr struct easier/quicker to understandPaul Moore
The existing netlbl_lsm_secattr struct required the LSM to check all of the fields to determine if any security attributes were present resulting in a lot of work in the common case of no attributes. This patch adds a 'flags' field which is used to indicate which attributes are present in the structure; this should allow the LSM to do a quick comparison to determine if the structure holds any security attributes. Example: if (netlbl_lsm_secattr->flags) /* security attributes present */ else /* NO security attributes present */ Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
2006-10-11NetLabel: fix a cache race conditionpaul.moore@hp.com
Testing revealed a problem with the NetLabel cache where a cached entry could be freed while in use by the LSM layer causing an oops and other problems. This patch fixes that problem by introducing a reference counter to the cache entry so that it is only freed when it is no longer in use.

2006-09-25[NetLabel]: correct improper handling of non-NetLabel peer contextsPaul Moore
Fix a problem where NetLabel would always set the value of sk_security_struct->peer_sid in selinux_netlbl_sock_graft() to the context of the socket, causing problems when users would query the context of the connection. This patch fixes this so that the value in sk_security_struct->peer_sid is only set when the connection is NetLabel based, otherwise the value is untouched.

2006-09-22[NetLabel]: core NetLabel subsystemPaul Moore
Add a new kernel subsystem, NetLabel, to provide explicit packet labeling services (CIPSO, RIPSO, etc.) to LSM developers. NetLabel is designed to work in conjunction with a LSM to intercept and decode security labels on incoming network packets as well as ensure that outgoing network packets are labeled according to the security mechanism employed by the LSM. The NetLabel subsystem is configured through a Generic NETLINK interface described in the header files included in this patch. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
