2008-01-31[SELinux]: Fix double free in selinux_netlbl_sock_setsid()Paul Moore
As pointed out by Adrian Bunk, commit 45c950e0f839fded922ebc0bfd59b1081cc71b70 ("fix memory leak in netlabel code") caused a double-free when security_netlbl_sid_to_secattr() fails. This patch fixes this by removing the netlbl_secattr_destroy() call from that function since we are already releasing the secattr memory in selinux_netlbl_sock_setsid().

2008-01-30SELinux: Allow NetLabel to directly cache SIDsPaul Moore
Now that the SELinux NetLabel "base SID" is always the netmsg initial SID we can do a big optimization - caching the SID and not just the MLS attributes. This not only saves a lot of per-packet memory allocations and copies but it has a nice side effect of removing a chunk of code.

2008-01-30SELinux: Better integration between peer labeling subsystemsPaul Moore
Rework the handling of network peer labels so that the different peer labeling subsystems work better together. This includes moving both subsystems to a single "peer" object class which involves not only changes to the permission checks but an improved method of consolidating multiple packet peer labels. As part of this work the inbound packet permission check code has been heavily modified to handle both the old and new behavior in as sane a fashion as possible.

2008-01-30SELinux: Convert the netif code to use ifindex valuesPaul Moore
The current SELinux netif code requires the caller have a valid net_device struct pointer to lookup network interface information. However, we don't always have a valid net_device pointer so convert the netif code to use the ifindex values we always have as part of the sk_buff. This patch also removes the default message SID from the network interface record, it is not being used and therefore is "dead code".

2008-01-30NetLabel: Add secid token support to the NetLabel secattr structPaul Moore
This patch adds support to the NetLabel LSM secattr struct for a secid token and a type field, paving the way for full LSM/SELinux context support and "static" or "fallback" labels. In addition, this patch adds a fair amount of documentation to the core NetLabel structures used as part of the NetLabel kernel API.

2008-01-26selinux: fix labeling of /proc/net inodesStephen Smalley
The proc net rewrite had a side effect on selinux, leading it to mislabel the /proc/net inodes, thereby leading to incorrect denials.

2008-01-25selinux: make mls_compute_sid always polyinstantiateEamon Walsh
This patch removes the requirement that the new and related object types differ in order to polyinstantiate by MLS level.

2007-10-17SELinux: improve performance when AVC misses.KaiGai Kohei
* We add ebitmap_for_each_positive_bit() which enables to walk on any positive bit on the given ebitmap, to improve its performance using common bit-operations defined in linux/bitops.h. In the previous version, this logic was implemented using a combination of ebitmap_for_each_bit() and ebitmap_node_get_bit(), but is was worse in performance aspect. This logic is most frequestly used to compute a new AVC entry, so this patch can improve SELinux performance when AVC misses are happen. * struct ebitmap_node is redefined as an array of "unsigned long", to get suitable for using find_next_bit() which is fasted than iteration of shift and logical operation, and to maximize memory usage allocated from general purpose slab. * Any ebitmap_for_each_bit() are repleced by the new implementation in ss/service.c and ss/mls.c. Some of related implementation are changed, however, there is no incompatibility with the previous version. * The width of any new line are less or equal than 80-chars. The following benchmark shows the effect of this patch, when we access many files which have different security context one after another. The number is more than /selinux/avc/cache_threshold, so any access always causes AVC misses. selinux-2.6 selinux-2.6-ebitmap AVG: 22.763 [s] 8.750 [s] STD: 0.265 0.019 ------------------------------------------ 1st: 22.558 [s] 8.786 [s] 2nd: 22.458 [s] 8.750 [s] 3rd: 22.478 [s] 8.754 [s] 4th: 22.724 [s] 8.745 [s] 5th: 22.918 [s] 8.748 [s] 6th: 22.905 [s] 8.764 [s] 7th: 23.238 [s] 8.726 [s] 8th: 22.822 [s] 8.729 [s] Signed-off-by: KaiGai Kohei <kaigai@ak.jp.nec.com> Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either.

2007-07-11SELinux: allow preemption between transition permission checksStephen Smalley
In security_get_user_sids, move the transition permission checks outside of the section holding the policy rdlock, and use the AVC to perform the checks, calling cond_resched after each one. These changes should allow preemption between the individual checks and enable caching of the results. It may however increase the overall time spent in the function in some cases, particularly in the cache miss case. The long term fix will be to take much of this logic to userspace by exporting additional state via selinuxfs, and ultimately deprecating and eliminating this interface from the kernel.

2007-07-11selinux: introduce schedule points in policydb_destroy()Eric Paris
During the LSPP testing we found that it was possible for policydb_destroy() to take 10+ seconds of kernel time to complete. Basically all policydb_destroy() does is walk some (possibly long) lists and free the memory it finds. Turning off slab debugging config options made the problem go away since the actual functions which took most of the time were (as seen by oprofile) > 121202 23.9879 .check_poison_obj > 78247 15.4864 .check_slabp were caused by that. So I decided to also add some voluntary schedule points in that code so config voluntary preempt would be enough to solve the problem. Something similar was done in places like shmem_free_pages() when we have to walk a list of memory and free it. This was tested by the LSPP group on the hardware which could reproduce the problem just loading a new policy and was found to not trigger the softlock detector. It takes just as much processing time, but the kernel doesn't spend all that time stuck doing one thing and never scheduling. Someday a better way to handle memory might make the time needed in this function a lot less, but this fixes the current issue as it stands today.

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.

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.

2006-11-28SELinux: validate kernel object classes and permissionsChad Sellers
This is a new object class and permission validation scheme that validates against the defined kernel headers. This scheme allows extra classes and permissions that do not conflict with the kernel definitions to be added to the policy. This validation is now done for all policy loads, not just subsequent loads after the first policy load. The implementation walks the three structrures containing the defined object class and permission values and ensures their values are the same in the policy being loaded. This includes verifying the object classes themselves, the permissions they contain, and the permissions they inherit from commons. Classes or permissions that are present in the kernel but missing from the policy cause a warning (printed to KERN_INFO) to be printed, but do not stop the policy from loading, emulating current behavior. Any other inconsistencies cause the load to fail. Signed-off-by: Chad Sellers <csellers@tresys.com> Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
2006-11-28SELinux: ensure keys constant in hashtab_searchChad Sellers
Makes the key argument passed into hashtab_search and all the functions it calls constant. These functions include hash table function pointers hash_value and keycmp. The only implementations of these currently are symhash and symcmp, which do not modify the key. The key parameter should never be changed by any of these, so it should be const. This is necessary to allow calling these functions with keys found in kernel object class and permission definitions.

2006-11-28SELinux: remove current object class and permission validation mechanismChad Sellers
Removes the current SELinux object class and permission validation code, as the current code makes it impossible to change or remove object classes and permissions on a running system. Additionally, the current code does not actually validate that the classes and permissions are correct, but instead merely validates that they do not change between policy reloads.

2006-10-30[NetLabel]: protect the CIPSOv4 socket option from setsockopt()Paul Moore
This patch makes two changes to protect applications from either removing or tampering with the CIPSOv4 IP option on a socket. The first is the requirement that applications have the CAP_NET_RAW capability to set an IPOPT_CIPSO option on a socket; this prevents untrusted applications from setting their own CIPSOv4 security attributes on the packets they send. The second change is to SELinux and it prevents applications from setting any IPv4 options when there is an IPOPT_CIPSO option already present on the socket; this prevents applications from removing CIPSOv4 security attributes from the packets they send.

2006-10-15NetLabel: better error handling involving mls_export_cat()Paul Moore
Upon inspection it looked like the error handling for mls_export_cat() was rather poor. This patch addresses this by NULL'ing out kfree()'d pointers before returning and checking the return value of the function everywhere it is called.
