      scripts: add boot policy generation program · ba199dc9
      Deven Bowers authored
      Enables an IPE policy to be enforced from kernel start, enabling access
      control based on trust from kernel startup. This is accomplished by
      transforming an IPE policy indicated by CONFIG_IPE_BOOT_POLICY into a
      c-string literal that is parsed at kernel startup as an unsigned policy.

      ipe: enable support for fs-verity as a trust provider · 31f8c868
      Fan Wu authored
      Enable IPE policy authors to indicate trust for a singular fsverity
      file, identified by the digest information, through "fsverity_digest"
      and all files using valid fsverity builtin signatures via
      "fsverity_signature".
      
      This enables file-level integrity claims to be expressed in IPE,
      allowing individual files to be authorized, giving some flexibility
      for policy authors. Such file-level claims are important to be expressed
      for enforcing the integrity of packages, as well as address some of the
      scalability issues in a sole dm-verity based solution (# of loop back
      devices, etc).
      
      This solution cannot be done in userspace as the minimum threat that
      IPE should mitigate is an attacker downloads malicious payload with
      all required dependencies. These dependencies can lack the userspace
      check, bypassing the protection entirely. A similar attack succeeds if
      the userspace component is replaced with a version that does not
      perform the check. As a result, this can only be done in the common
      entry point - the kernel.

      fsverity: expose verified fsverity built-in signatures to LSMs · 7c373e4f
      Fan Wu authored
      This patch enhances fsverity's capabilities to support both integrity and
      authenticity protection by introducing the exposure of built-in
      signatures through a new LSM hook. This functionality allows LSMs,
      e.g. IPE, to enforce policies based on the authenticity and integrity of
      files, specifically focusing on built-in fsverity signatures. It enables
      a policy enforcement layer within LSMs for fsverity, offering granular
      control over the usage of authenticity claims. For instance, a policy
      could be established to only permit the execution of all files with
      verified built-in fsverity signatures.
      
      The introduction of a security_inode_setintegrity() hook call within
      fsverity's workflow ensures that the verified built-in signature of a file
      is exposed to LSMs. This enables LSMs to recognize and label fsverity files
      that contain a verified built-in fsverity signature. This hook is invoked
      subsequent to the fsverity_verify_signature() process, guaranteeing the
      signature's verification against fsverity's keyring. This mechanism is
      crucial for maintaining system security, as it operates in kernel space,
      effectively thwarting attempts by malicious binaries to bypass user space
      stack interactions.
      
      The second to last commit in this patch set will add a link to the IPE
      documentation in fsverity.rst.

      dm-verity: expose root hash digest and signature data to LSMs · a6af7bc3
      Deven Bowers authored
      dm-verity provides a strong guarantee of a block device's integrity. As
      a generic way to check the integrity of a block device, it provides
      those integrity guarantees to its higher layers, including the filesystem
      level.
      
      However, critical security metadata like the dm-verity roothash and its
      signing information are not easily accessible to the LSMs.
      To address this limitation, this patch introduces a mechanism to store
      and manage these essential security details within a newly added LSM blob
      in the block_device structure.
      
      This addition allows LSMs to make access control decisions on the integrity
      data stored within the block_device, enabling more flexible security
      policies. For instance, LSMs can now revoke access to dm-verity devices
      based on their roothashes, ensuring that only authorized and verified
      content is accessible. Additionally, LSMs can enforce policies to only
      allow files from dm-verity devices that have a valid digital signature to
      execute, effectively blocking any unsigned files from execution, thus
      enhancing security against unauthorized modifications.
      
      The patch includes new hook calls, `security_bdev_setintegrity()`, in
      dm-verity to expose the dm-verity roothash and the roothash signature to
      LSMs via preresume() callback. By using the preresume() callback, it
      ensures that the security metadata is consistently in sync with the
      metadata of the dm-verity target in the current active mapping table.
      The hook calls are depended on CONFIG_SECURITY.

      block,lsm: add LSM blob and new LSM hooks for block devices · b55d26bd
      Deven Bowers authored
      This patch introduces a new LSM blob to the block_device structure,
      enabling the security subsystem to store security-sensitive data related
      to block devices. Currently, for a device mapper's mapped device containing
      a dm-verity target, critical security information such as the roothash and
      its signing state are not readily accessible. Specifically, while the
      dm-verity volume creation process passes the dm-verity roothash and its
      signature from userspace to the kernel, the roothash is stored privately
      within the dm-verity target, and its signature is discarded
      post-verification. This makes it extremely hard for the security subsystem
      to utilize these data.
      
      With the addition of the LSM blob to the block_device structure, the
      security subsystem can now retain and manage important security metadata
      such as the roothash and the signing state of a dm-verity by storing them
      inside the blob. Access decisions can then be based on these stored data.
      
      The implementation follows the same approach used for security blobs in
      other structures like struct file, struct inode, and struct superblock.
      The initialization of the security blob occurs after the creation of the
      struct block_device, performed by the security subsystem. Similarly, the
      security blob is freed by the security subsystem before the struct
      block_device is deallocated or freed.
      
      This patch also introduces a new hook security_bdev_setintegrity() to save
      block device's integrity data to the new LSM blob. For example, for
      dm-verity, it can use this hook to expose its roothash and signing state
      to LSMs, then LSMs can save these data into the LSM blob.
      
      Please note that the new hook should be invoked every time the security
      information is updated to keep these data current. For example, in
      dm-verity, if the mapping table is reloaded and configured to use a
      different dm-verity target with a new roothash and signing information,
      the previously stored data in the LSM blob will become obsolete. It is
      crucial to re-invoke the hook to refresh these data and ensure they are up
      to date. This necessity arises from the design of device-mapper, where a
      device-mapper device is first created, and then targets are subsequently
      loaded into it. These targets can be modified multiple times during the
      device's lifetime. Therefore, while the LSM blob is allocated during the
      creation of the block device, its actual contents are not initialized at
      this stage and can change substantially over time. This includes
      alterations from data that the LSM 'trusts' to those it does not, making
      it essential to handle these changes correctly. Failure to address this
      dynamic aspect could potentially allow for bypassing LSM checks.

      ipe: add permissive toggle · a68916ea
      Deven Bowers authored
      IPE, like SELinux, supports a permissive mode. This mode allows policy
      authors to test and evaluate IPE policy without it affecting their
      programs. When the mode is changed, a 1404 AUDIT_MAC_STATUS will
      be reported.
      
      This patch adds the following audit records:
      
          audit: MAC_STATUS enforcing=0 old_enforcing=1 auid=4294967295
            ses=4294967295 enabled=1 old-enabled=1 lsm=ipe res=1

      audit,ipe: add IPE auditing support · f44554b5
      Deven Bowers authored
      Users of IPE require a way to identify when and why an operation fails,
      allowing them to both respond to violations of policy and be notified
      of potentially malicious actions on their systems with respect to IPE
      itself.
      
      This patch introduces 3 new audit events.
      
      AUDIT_IPE_ACCESS(1420) indicates the result of an IPE policy evaluation
      of a resource.
      AUDIT_IPE_CONFIG_CHANGE(1421) indicates the current active IPE policy
      has been changed to another loaded policy.
      AUDIT_IPE_POLICY_LOAD(1422) indicates a new IPE policy has been loaded
      into the kernel.
      
      This patch also adds support for success auditing, allowing users to
      identify why an allow decision was made for a resource. However, it is
      recommended to use this option with caution, as it is quite noisy.
      
      Here are some examples of the new audit record types:
      
      AUDIT_IPE_ACCESS(1420):
      
          audit: AUDIT1420 ipe_op=EXECUTE ipe_hook=BPRM_CHECK enforcing=1
            pid=297 comm="sh" path="/root/vol/bin/hello" dev="tmpfs"
            ino=3897 rule="op=EXECUTE boot_verified=TRUE action=ALLOW"
      
          audit: AUDIT1420 ipe_op=EXECUTE ipe_hook=BPRM_CHECK enforcing=1
            pid=299 comm="sh" path="/mnt/ipe/bin/hello" dev="dm-0"
            ino=2 rule="DEFAULT action=DENY"
      
          audit: AUDIT1420 ipe_op=EXECUTE ipe_hook=BPRM_CHECK enforcing=1
           pid=300 path="/tmp/tmpdp2h1lub/deny/bin/hello" dev="tmpfs"
            ino=131 rule="DEFAULT action=DENY"
      
      The above three records were generated when the active IPE policy only
      allows binaries from the initramfs to run. The three identical `hello`
      binary were placed at different locations, only the first hello from
      the rootfs(initramfs) was allowed.
      
      Field ipe_op followed by the IPE operation name associated with the log.
      
      Field ipe_hook followed by the name of the LSM hook that triggered the IPE
      event.
      
      Field enforcing followed by the enforcement state of IPE. (it will be
      introduced in the next commit)
      
      Field pid followed by the pid of the process that triggered the IPE
      event.
      
      Field comm followed by the command line program name of the process that
      triggered the IPE event.
      
      Field path followed by the file's path name.
      
      Field dev followed by the device name as found in /dev where the file is
      from.
      Note that for device mappers it will use the name `dm-X` instead of
      the name in /dev/mapper.
      For a file in a temp file system, which is not from a device, it will use
      `tmpfs` for the field.
      The implementation of this part is following another existing use case
      LSM_AUDIT_DATA_INODE in security/lsm_audit.c
      
      Field ino followed by the file's inode number.
      
      Field rule followed by the IPE rule made the access decision. The whole
      rule must be audited because the decision is based on the combination of
      all property conditions in the rule.
      
      Along with the syscall audit event, user can know why a blocked
      happened. For example:
      
          audit: AUDIT1420 ipe_op=EXECUTE ipe_hook=BPRM_CHECK enforcing=1
            pid=2138 comm="bash" path="/mnt/ipe/bin/hello" dev="dm-0"
            ino=2 rule="DEFAULT action=DENY"
          audit[1956]: SYSCALL arch=c000003e syscall=59
            success=no exit=-13 a0=556790138df0 a1=556790135390 a2=5567901338b0
            a3=ab2a41a67f4f1f4e items=1 ppid=147 pid=1956 auid=4294967295 uid=0
            gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=pts0
            ses=4294967295 comm="bash" exe="/usr/bin/bash" key=(null)
      
      The above two records showed bash used execve to run "hello" and got
      blocked by IPE. Note that the IPE records are always prior to a SYSCALL
      record.
      
      AUDIT_IPE_CONFIG_CHANGE(1421):
      
          audit: AUDIT1421
            old_active_pol_name="Allow_All" old_active_pol_version=0.0.0
            old_policy_digest=sha256:E3B0C44298FC1C149AFBF4C8996FB92427AE41E4649
            new_active_pol_name="boot_verified" new_active_pol_version=0.0.0
            new_policy_digest=sha256:820EEA5B40CA42B51F68962354BA083122A20BB846F
            auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 lsm=ipe res=1
      
      The above record showed the current IPE active policy switch from
      `Allow_All` to `boot_verified` along with the version and the hash
      digest of the two policies. Note IPE can only have one policy active
      at a time, all access decision evaluation is based on the current active
      policy.
      The normal procedure to deploy a policy is loading the policy to deploy
      into the kernel first, then switch the active policy to it.
      
      AUDIT_IPE_POLICY_LOAD(1422):
      
          audit: AUDIT1422 policy_name="boot_verified" policy_version=0.0.0
            policy_digest=sha256:820EEA5B40CA42B51F68962354BA083122A20BB846F2676
            auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 lsm=ipe res=1
      
      The above record showed a new policy has been loaded into the kernel
      with the policy name, policy version and policy hash.

      lsm: add new securityfs delete function · 7138679f
      Fan Wu authored
      When deleting a directory in the security file system, the existing
      securityfs_remove requires the directory to be empty, otherwise
      it will do nothing. This leads to a potential risk that the security
      file system might be in an unclean state when the intended deletion
      did not happen.
      
      This commit introduces a new function securityfs_recursive_remove
      to recursively delete a directory without leaving an unclean state.

      ipe: introduce 'boot_verified' as a trust provider · a8a74df1
      Fan Wu authored
      IPE is designed to provide system level trust guarantees, this usually
      implies that trust starts from bootup with a hardware root of trust,
      which validates the bootloader. After this, the bootloader verifies
      the kernel and the initramfs.
      
      As there's no currently supported integrity method for initramfs, and
      it's typically already verified by the bootloader. This patch introduces
      a new IPE property `boot_verified` which allows author of IPE policy to
      indicate trust for files from initramfs.
      
      The implementation of this feature utilizes the newly added
      `initramfs_populated` hook. This hook marks the superblock of the rootfs
      after the initramfs has been unpacked into it.
      
      Before mounting the real rootfs on top of the initramfs, initramfs
      script will recursively remove all files and directories on the
      initramfs. This is typically implemented by using switch_root(8)
      (https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/switch_root.8.html).
      Therefore the initramfs will be empty and not accessible after the real
      rootfs takes over. It is advised to switch to a different policy
      that doesn't rely on the `boot_verified` property after this point.
      This ensures that the trust policies remain relevant and effective
      throughout the system's operation.

      initramfs,lsm: add a security hook to do_populate_rootfs() · 2fea0c26
      Fan Wu authored
      This patch introduces a new hook to notify security system that the
      content of initramfs has been unpacked into the rootfs.
      
      Upon receiving this notification, the security system can activate
      a policy to allow only files that originated from the initramfs to
      execute or load into kernel during the early stages of booting.
      
      This approach is crucial for minimizing the attack surface by
      ensuring that only trusted files from the initramfs are operational

      ipe: add LSM hooks on execution and kernel read · 52443cb6
      Deven Bowers authored
      IPE's initial goal is to control both execution and the loading of
      kernel modules based on the system's definition of trust. It
      accomplishes this by plugging into the security hooks for
      bprm_check_security, file_mprotect, mmap_file, kernel_load_data,
      and kernel_read_data.

      ipe: add evaluation loop · 05a35163
      Deven Bowers authored
      Introduce a core evaluation function in IPE that will be triggered by
      various security hooks (e.g., mmap, bprm_check, kexec). This function
      systematically assesses actions against the defined IPE policy, by
      iterating over rules specific to the action being taken. This critical
      addition enables IPE to enforce its security policies effectively,
      ensuring that actions intercepted by these hooks are scrutinized for policy
      compliance before they are allowed to proceed.

      ipe: add policy parser · 54a88cd2
      Deven Bowers authored
      IPE's interpretation of the what the user trusts is accomplished through
      its policy. IPE's design is to not provide support for a single trust
      provider, but to support multiple providers to enable the end-user to
      choose the best one to seek their needs.
      
      This requires the policy to be rather flexible and modular so that
      integrity providers, like fs-verity, dm-verity, or some other system,
      can plug into the policy with minimal code changes.

      lsm: add IPE lsm · 03115077
      Deven Bowers authored
      Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE) is an LSM that provides an
      complimentary approach to Mandatory Access Control than existing LSMs
      today.
      
      Existing LSMs have centered around the concept of access to a resource
      should be controlled by the current user's credentials. IPE's approach,
      is that access to a resource should be controlled by the system's trust
      of a current resource.
      
      The basis of this approach is defining a global policy to specify which
      resource can be trusted.

      lsm: add the inode_free_security_rcu() LSM implementation hook · 63dff3e4
      Paul Moore authored
      The LSM framework has an existing inode_free_security() hook which
      is used by LSMs that manage state associated with an inode, but
      due to the use of RCU to protect the inode, special care must be
      taken to ensure that the LSMs do not fully release the inode state
      until it is safe from a RCU perspective.
      
      This patch implements a new inode_free_security_rcu() implementation
      hook which is called when it is safe to free the LSM's internal inode
      state.  Unfortunately, this new hook does not have access to the inode
      itself as it may already be released, so the existing
      inode_free_security() hook is retained for those LSMs which require
      access to the inode.

      minmax: simplify and clarify min_t()/max_t() implementation · 017fa3e8
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This simplifies the min_t() and max_t() macros by no longer making them
      work in the context of a C constant expression.
      
      That means that you can no longer use them for static initializers or
      for array sizes in type definitions, but there were only a couple of
      such uses, and all of them were converted (famous last words) to use
      MIN_T/MAX_T instead.

      minmax: add a few more MIN_T/MAX_T users · 4477b39c
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit 3a7e02c0 ("minmax: avoid overly complicated constant
      expressions in VM code") added the simpler MIN_T/MAX_T macros in order
      to avoid some excessive expansion from the rather complicated regular
      min/max macros.
      
      The complexity of those macros stems from two issues:
      
       (a) trying to use them in situations that require a C constant
           expression (in static initializers and for array sizes)
      
       (b) the type sanity checking
      
      and MIN_T/MAX_T avoids both of these issues.
      
      Now, in the whole (long) discussion about all this, it was pointed out
      that the whole type sanity checking is entirely unnecessary for
      min_t/max_t which get a fixed type that the comparison is done in.
      
      But that still leaves min_t/max_t unnecessarily complicated due to
      worries about the C constant expression case.
      
      However, it turns out that there really aren't very many cases that use
      min_t/max_t for this, and we can just force-convert those.
      
      This does exactly that.
      
      Which in turn will then allow for much simpler implementations of
      min_t()/max_t().  All the usual "macros in all upper case will evaluate
      the arguments multiple times" rules apply.
      
      We should do all the same things for the regular min/max() vs MIN/MAX()
      cases, but that has the added complexity of various drivers defining
      their own local versions of MIN/MAX, so that needs another level of
      fixes first.

      kbuild: Fix '-S -c' in x86 stack protector scripts · 3415b10a
      Nathan Chancellor authored
      After a recent change in clang to stop consuming all instances of '-S'
      and '-c' [1], the stack protector scripts break due to the kernel's use
      of -Werror=unused-command-line-argument to catch cases where flags are
      not being properly consumed by the compiler driver:
      
        $ echo | clang -o - -x c - -S -c -Werror=unused-command-line-argument
        clang: error: argument unused during compilation: '-c' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
      
      This results in CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR getting disabled because
      CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR is no longer set.
      
      '-c' and '-S' both instruct the compiler to stop at different stages of
      the pipeline ('-S' after compiling, '-c' after assembling), so having
      them present together in the same command makes little sense. In this
      case, the test wants to stop before assembling because it is looking at
      the textual assembly output of the compiler for either '%fs' or '%gs',
      so remove '-c' from the list of arguments to resolve the error.
      
      All versions of GCC continue to work after this change, along with
      versions of clang that do or do not contain the change mentioned above.
