Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
- Introduce the concept of a SELinux "neveraudit" type which prevents
all auditing of the given type/domain.
Taken by itself, the benefit of marking a SELinux domain with the
"neveraudit" tag is likely not very interesting, especially given the
significant overlap with the "dontaudit" tag.
However, given that the "neveraudit" tag applies to *all* auditing of
the tagged domain, we can do some fairly interesting optimizations
when a SELinux domain is marked as both "permissive" and "dontaudit"
(think of the unconfined_t domain).
While this pull request includes optimized inode permission and
getattr hooks, these optimizations require SELinux policy changes,
therefore the improvements may not be visible on standard downstream
Linux distos for a period of time.
- Continue the deprecation process of /sys/fs/selinux/user.
After removing the associated userspace code in 2020, we marked the
/sys/fs/selinux/user interface as deprecated in Linux v6.13 with
pr_warn() and the usual documention update.
This adds a five second sleep after the pr_warn(), following a
previous deprecation process pattern that has worked well for us in
the past in helping identify any existing users that we haven't yet
reached.
- Add a __GFP_NOWARN flag to our initial hash table allocation.
Fuzzers such a syzbot often attempt abnormally large SELinux policy
loads, which the SELinux code gracefully handles by checking for
allocation failures, but not before the allocator emits a warning
which causes the automated fuzzing to flag this as an error and
report it to the list. While we want to continue to support the work
done by the fuzzing teams, we want to focus on proper issues and not
an error case that is already handled safely. Add a NOWARN flag to
quiet the allocator and prevent syzbot from tripping on this again.

Pull fileattr updates from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces the new file_getattr() and file_setattr() system calls
after lengthy discussions.
Both system calls serve as successors and extensible companions to
the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR system calls which have
started to show their age in addition to being named in a way that
makes it easy to conflate them with extended attribute related
operations.
These syscalls allow userspace to set filesystem inode attributes on
special files. One of the usage examples is the XFS quota projects.
XFS has project quotas which could be attached to a directory. All new
inodes in these directories inherit project ID set on parent
directory.
The project is created from userspace by opening and calling
FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR on each inode. This is not possible for special
files such as FIFO, SOCK, BLK etc. Therefore, some inodes are left
with empty project ID. Those inodes then are not shown in the quota
accounting but still exist in the directory. This is not critical but
in the case when special files are created in the directory with
already existing project quota, these new inodes inherit extended
attributes. This creates a mix of special files with and without
attributes. Moreover, special files with attributes don't have a
possibility to become clear or change the attributes. This, in turn,
prevents userspace from re-creating quota project on these existing
files.
In addition, these new system calls allow the implementation of
additional attributes that we couldn't or didn't want to fit into the
legacy ioctls anymore"

Max Kellerman recently experienced a problem[1] when calling exec with
differing uid and euid's and he triggered the logic that is supposed
to only handle setuid executables.
When exec isn't changing anything in struct cred it doesn't make sense
to go into the code that is there to handle the case when the
credentials change.
When looking into the history of the code I discovered that this issue
was not present in Linux-2.4.0-test12 and was introduced in
Linux-2.4.0-prerelease when the logic for handling this case was moved
from prepare_binprm to compute_creds in fs/exec.c.
The bug introdused was to comparing euid in the new credentials with
uid instead of euid in the old credentials, when testing if setuid
had changed the euid.
Since triggering the keep ptrace limping along case for setuid
executables makes no sense when it was not a setuid exec revert back
to the logic present in Linux-2.4.0-test12.
This removes the confusingly named and subtlety incorrect helpers
is_setuid and is_setgid, that helped this bug to persist.
The varaiable is_setid is renamed to id_changed (it's Linux-2.4.0-test12)
as the old name describes what matters rather than it's cause.
The code removed in Linux-2.4.0-prerelease was:
- /* Set-uid? */
- if (mode & S_ISUID) {
- bprm->e_uid = inode->i_uid;
- if (bprm->e_uid != current->euid)
- id_change = 1;
- }
-
- /* Set-gid? */
- /*
- * If setgid is set but no group execute bit then this
- * is a candidate for mandatory locking, not a setgid
- * executable.
- */
- if ((mode & (S_ISGID | S_IXGRP)) == (S_ISGID | S_IXGRP)) {
- bprm->e_gid = inode->i_gid;
- if (!in_group_p(bprm->e_gid))
- id_change = 1;
Linux-2.4.0-prerelease added the current logic as:
+ if (bprm->e_uid != current->uid || bprm->e_gid != current->gid ||
+ !cap_issubset(new_permitted, current->cap_permitted)) {
+ current->dumpable = 0;
+
+ lock_kernel();
+ if (must_not_trace_exec(current)
+ || atomic_read(¤t->fs->count) > 1
+ || atomic_read(¤t->files->count) > 1
+ || atomic_read(¤t->sig->count) > 1) {
+ if(!capable(CAP_SETUID)) {
+ bprm->e_uid = current->uid;
+ bprm->e_gid = current->gid;
+ }
+ if(!capable(CAP_SETPCAP)) {
+ new_permitted = cap_intersect(new_permitted,
+ current->cap_permitted);
+ }
+ }
+ do_unlock = 1;
+ }
I have condenced the logic from Linux-2.4.0-test12 to just:
id_changed = !uid_eq(new->euid, old->euid) || !in_group_p(new->egid);
This change is userspace visible, but I don't expect anyone to care.
For the bug that is being fixed to trigger bprm->unsafe has to be set.
The variable bprm->unsafe is set when ptracing an executable, when
sharing a working directory, or when no_new_privs is set. Properly
testing for cases that are safe even in those conditions and doing
nothing special should not affect anyone. Especially if they were
previously ok with their credentials getting munged
To minimize behavioural changes the code continues to set secureexec
when euid != uid or when egid != gid.

Extend the task avdcache to also cache whether the task SID is both
permissive and neveraudit, and return immediately if so in both
selinux_inode_getattr() and selinux_inode_permission().
The same approach could be applied to many of the hook functions
although the avdcache would need to be updated for more than directory
search checks in order for this optimization to be beneficial for checks
on objects other than directories.
To test, apply https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/pull/473 to
your selinux userspace, build and install libsepol, and use the following
CIL policy module:
$ cat neverauditpermissive.cil
(typeneveraudit unconfined_t)
(typepermissive unconfined_t)
Without this module inserted, running the following commands:
perf record make -jN # on an already built allmodconfig tree
perf report --sort=symbol,dso
yields the following percentages (only showing __d_lookup_rcu for
reference and only showing relevant SELinux functions):
1.65% [k] __d_lookup_rcu
0.53% [k] selinux_inode_permission
0.40% [k] selinux_inode_getattr
0.15% [k] avc_lookup

0.01% [k] selinux_file_alloc_security
for a total of 1.24% for SELinux compared to 1.65% for
__d_lookup_rcu().
After running the following command to insert this module:
semodule -i neverauditpermissive.cil
and then re-running the same perf commands from above yields
the following non-zero percentages:

Introduce neveraudit types i.e. types that should never trigger
audit messages. This allows the AVC to skip all audit-related
processing for such types. Note that neveraudit differs from
dontaudit not only wrt being applied for all checks with a given
source type but also in that it disables all auditing, not just
permission denials.
When a type is both a permissive type and a neveraudit type,
the security server can short-circuit the security_compute_av()
logic, allowing all permissions and not auditing any permissions.
This change just introduces the basic support but does not yet
further optimize the AVC or hook function logic when a type
is both a permissive type and a dontaudit type.

"Require gcc-8 and binutils-2.30
x86 already uses gcc-8 as the minimum version, this changes all other
architectures to the same version. gcc-8 is used is Debian 10 and Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 8, both of which are still supported, and
binutils 2.30 is the oldest corresponding version on those.
Ubuntu Pro 18.04 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 both use gcc-7 as
the system compiler but additionally include toolchains that remain
supported.
With the new minimum toolchain versions, a number of workarounds for
older versions can be dropped, in particular on x86_64 and arm64.
Importantly, the updated compiler version allows removing two of the
five remaining gcc plugins, as support for sancov and structeak
features is already included in modern compiler versions.
I tried collecting the known changes that are possible based on the
new toolchain version, but expect that more cleanups will be possible.
Since this touches multiple architectures, I merged the patches
through the asm-generic tree."

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core:
- Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy
data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire.
- Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope,
under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times
faster.
- Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing again
the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane
scalability.
- Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded
abstraction layers and improving significantly the related
micro-benchmarks.
- Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10%
performance improvement in related stream tests.
- Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a
prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable()
on PREMPT_RT.
- Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds
verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages.
Netfilter:
- Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving
considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools still
use this interface.
- Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain and
flowtables.
- Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure.
- Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better
introspection.
BPF:
- BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops
programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs
using the "tc qdisc" command.
- Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues
WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets.
Protocols:
- Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default
upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the
single flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%.
- Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport
security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server.
- Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always
matches the nexthop device.
- Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS,
and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs.
- Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major
distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better
organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit
in the fast path.
- Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks.
Driver API:
- Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for
the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new
unsupported flags.
- Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs.
- Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for
dump operations targeting PHYs.
Tests and tooling:
- Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that
ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and
qdisc layer configuration.
- Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output
known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic
netlink output.
- Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage.
- Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.
New hardware / drivers:
- OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing to
the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT the
user-space implementation.
- Renesas glue driver for the gigabit ethernet RZ/V2H(P) SoC.
- Broadcom asp-v3.0 ethernet driver.

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
- Reduce the SELinux impact on path walks.
Add a small directory access cache to the per-task SELinux state.
This cache allows SELinux to cache the most recently used directory
access decisions in order to avoid repeatedly querying the AVC on
path walks where the majority of the directories have similar
security contexts/labels.
My performance measurements are crude, but prior to this patch the
time spent in SELinux code on a 'make allmodconfig' run was 103% that
of __d_lookup_rcu(), and with this patch the time spent in SELinux
code dropped to 63% of __d_lookup_rcu(), a ~40% improvement.
Additional improvments can be expected in the future, but those will
require additional SELinux policy/toolchain support.
- Add support for wildcards in genfscon policy statements.
This patch allows for wildcards in the genfscon patch matching logic
as opposed to the prefix matching that was used prior to this change.
Adding wilcard support allows for more expressive and efficient path
matching in the policy which is especially helpful for sysfs, and has
resulted in a ~15% boot time reduction in Android.
SELinux policies can opt into wilcard matching by using the
"genfs_seclabel_wildcard" policy capability.
- Unify the error/OOM handling of the SELinux network caches.
A failure to allocate memory for the SELinux network caches isn't
fatal as the object label can still be safely returned to the caller,
it simply means that we cannot add the new data to the cache, at
least temporarily. This patch corrects this behavior for the
InfiniBand cache and does some minor cleanup.
- Minor improvements around constification, 'likely' annotations, and
removal of bogus comments.

Pull integrity updates from Mimi Zohar:
"Carrying the IMA measurement list across kexec is not a new feature,
but is updated to address a couple of issues:
- Carrying the IMA measurement list across kexec required knowing
apriori all the file measurements between the "kexec load" and
"kexec execute" in order to measure them before the "kexec load".
Any delay between the "kexec load" and "kexec exec" exacerbated the
problem.
- Any file measurements post "kexec load" were not carried across
kexec, resulting in the measurement list being out of sync with the
TPM PCR.
With these changes, the buffer for the IMA measurement list is still
allocated at "kexec load", but copying the IMA measurement list is
deferred to after quiescing the TPM.
Two new kexec critical data records are defined"
