selinux: enclose macro arguments in parenthesis

2022-01-26T20:13:58Z

Enclose the macro arguments in parenthesis to avoid potential evaluation order issues. Note the xperm and ebitmap macros are still not side-effect safe due to double evaluation.

selinux: hash context structure directly

2020-04-17T20:04:34Z

Always hashing the string representation is inefficient. Just hash the contents of the structure directly (using jhash). If the context is invalid (str & len are set), then hash the string as before, otherwise hash the structured data. Since the context hashing function is now faster (about 10 times), this patch decreases the overhead of security_transition_sid(), which is called from many hooks. The jhash function seemed as a good choice, since it is used as the default hashing algorithm in rhashtable.

selinux: default_range glblub implementation

2019-10-07T23:01:35Z

A policy developer can now specify glblub as a default_range default and the computed transition will be the intersection of the mls range of the two contexts. The glb (greatest lower bound) lub (lowest upper bound) of a range is calculated as the greater of the low sensitivities and the lower of the high sensitivities and the and of each category bitmap. This can be used by MLS solution developers to compute a context that satisfies, for example, the range of a network interface and the range of a user logging in. Some examples are: User Permitted Range | Network Device Label | Computed Label ---------------------|----------------------|---------------- s0-s1:c0.c12 | s0 | s0 s0-s1:c0.c12 | s0-s1:c0.c1023 | s0-s1:c0.c12 s0-s4:c0.c512 | s1-s1:c0.c1023 | s1-s1:c0.c512 s0-s15:c0,c2 | s4-s6:c0.c128 | s4-s6:c0,c2 s0-s4 | s2-s6 | s2-s4 s0-s4 | s5-s8 | INVALID s5-s8 | s0-s4 | INVALID Signed-off-by: Joshua Brindle [PM: subject lines and checkpatch.pl fixes] Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

selinux: wrap global selinux state

2018-03-01T23:48:02Z

Define a selinux state structure (struct selinux_state) for global SELinux state and pass it explicitly to all security server functions. The public portion of the structure contains state that is used throughout the SELinux code, such as the enforcing mode. The structure also contains a pointer to a selinux_ss structure whose definition is private to the security server and contains security server specific state such as the policy database and SID table. This change should have no effect on SELinux behavior or APIs (userspace or LSM). It merely wraps SELinux state and passes it explicitly as needed.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

selinux: use kmem_cache for ebitmap

2017-06-09T20:13:50Z

The allocated size for each ebitmap_node is 192byte by kzalloc(). Then, ebitmap_node size is fixed, so it's possible to use only 144byte for each object by kmem_cache_zalloc(). It can reduce some dynamic allocation size. Signed-off-by: Junil Lee Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

netlabel: shorter names for the NetLabel catmap funcs/structs

2014-08-01T15:17:37Z

Historically the NetLabel LSM secattr catmap functions and data structures have had very long names which makes a mess of the NetLabel code and anyone who uses NetLabel. This patch renames the catmap functions and structures from "*_secattr_catmap_*" to just "*_catmap_*" which improves things greatly. There are no substantial code or logic changes in this patch.

SELinux: Increase ebitmap_node size for 64-bit configuration

2013-07-25T17:02:31Z

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.

SELinux: Reduce overhead of mls_level_isvalid() function call

2013-07-25T17:02:18Z

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.
