  • 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

  • The kernel print macros use the KBUILD_MODNAME, which is initialized
    to the module name. The current integrity/Makefile makes every file
    as its own module, so pr_xxx messages are prefixed with the file name
    instead of the module. Similar to the evm/Makefile and ima/Makefile,
    this patch fixes the integrity/Makefile to use the single name
    'integrity'.

  • This patch moves the integrity_audit_msg() function and defintion to
    security/integrity/, the parent directory, renames the 'ima_audit'
    boot command line option to 'integrity_audit', and fixes the Kconfig
    help text to reflect the actual code.

    Changelog:
    - Fixed ifdef inclusion of integrity_audit_msg() (Fengguang Wu)

  • Asymmetric keys were introduced in linux-3.7 to verify the signature on
    signed kernel modules. The asymmetric keys infrastructure abstracts the
    signature verification from the crypto details. This patch adds IMA/EVM
    signature verification using asymmetric keys. Support for additional
    signature verification methods can now be delegated to the asymmetric
    key infrastructure.

    Although the module signature header and the IMA/EVM signature header
    could use the same format, to minimize the signature length and save
    space in the extended attribute, this patch defines a new IMA/EVM
    header format. The main difference is that the key identifier is a
    sha1[12 - 19] hash of the key modulus and exponent, similar to the
    current implementation. The only purpose of the key identifier is to
    identify the corresponding key in the kernel keyring. ima-evm-utils
    was updated to support the new signature format.

    While asymmetric signature verification functionality supports many
    different hash algorithms, the hash used in this patch is calculated
    during the IMA collection phase, based on the configured algorithm.
    The default algorithm is sha1, but for backwards compatibility md5
    is supported. Due to this current limitation, signatures should be
    generated using a sha1 hash algorithm.

    Changes in this patch:
    - Functionality has been moved to separate source file in order to get rid of
    in source #ifdefs.
    - keyid is derived according to the RFC 3280. It does not require to assign
    IMA/EVM specific "description" when loading X509 certificate. Kernel
    asymmetric key subsystem automatically generate the description. Also
    loading a certificate does not require using of ima-evm-utils and can be
    done using keyctl only.
    - keyid size is reduced to 32 bits to save xattr space. Key search is done
    using partial match functionality of asymmetric_key_match().
    - Kconfig option title was changed

  • EVM protects a file's security extended attributes(xattrs) against integrity
    attacks. This patchset provides the framework and an initial method. The
    initial method maintains an HMAC-sha1 value across the security extended
    attributes, storing the HMAC value as the extended attribute 'security.evm'.
    Other methods of validating the integrity of a file's metadata will be posted
    separately (eg. EVM-digital-signatures).

    While this patchset does authenticate the security xattrs, and
    cryptographically binds them to the inode, coming extensions will bind other
    directory and inode metadata for more complete protection. To help simplify
    the review and upstreaming process, each extension will be posted separately
    (eg. IMA-appraisal, IMA-appraisal-directory). For a general overview of the
    proposed Linux integrity subsystem, refer to Dave Safford's whitepaper:
    http://downloads.sf.net/project/linux-ima/linux-ima/Integrity_overview.pdf.

    EVM depends on the Kernel Key Retention System to provide it with a
    trusted/encrypted key for the HMAC-sha1 operation. The key is loaded onto the
    root's keyring using keyctl. Until EVM receives notification that the key has
    been successfully loaded onto the keyring (echo 1 > /evm), EVM can
    not create or validate the 'security.evm' xattr, but returns INTEGRITY_UNKNOWN.
    Loading the key and signaling EVM should be done as early as possible. Normally
    this is done in the initramfs, which has already been measured as part of the
    trusted boot. For more information on creating and loading existing
    trusted/encrypted keys, refer to Documentation/keys-trusted-encrypted.txt. A
    sample dracut patch, which loads the trusted/encrypted key and enables EVM, is
    available from http://linux-ima.sourceforge.net/#EVM.

    Based on the LSMs enabled, the set of EVM protected security xattrs is defined
    at compile. EVM adds the following three calls to the existing security hooks:
    evm_inode_setxattr(), evm_inode_post_setxattr(), and evm_inode_removexattr. To
    initialize and update the 'security.evm' extended attribute, EVM defines three
    calls: evm_inode_post_init(), evm_inode_post_setattr() and
    evm_inode_post_removexattr() hooks. To verify the integrity of a security
    xattr, EVM exports evm_verifyxattr().

    Changelog v7:
    - Fixed URL in EVM ABI documentation

    Changelog v6: (based on Serge Hallyn's review)
    - fix URL in patch description
    - remove evm_hmac_size definition
    - use SHA1_DIGEST_SIZE (removed both MAX_DIGEST_SIZE and evm_hmac_size)
    - moved linux include before other includes
    - test for crypto_hash_setkey failure
    - fail earlier for invalid key
    - clear entire encrypted key, even on failure
    - check xattr name length before comparing xattr names

    Changelog:
    - locking based on i_mutex, remove evm_mutex
    - using trusted/encrypted keys for storing the EVM key used in the HMAC-sha1
    operation.
    - replaced crypto hash with shash (Dmitry Kasatkin)
    - support for additional methods of verifying the security xattrs
    (Dmitry Kasatkin)
    - iint not allocated for all regular files, but only for those appraised
    - Use cap_sys_admin in lieu of cap_mac_admin
    - Use __vfs_setxattr_noperm(), without permission checks, from EVM

  • Move the inode integrity data(iint) management up to the integrity directory
    in order to share the iint among the different integrity models.

    Changelog:
    - don't define MAX_DIGEST_SIZE
    - rename several globally visible 'ima_' prefixed functions, structs,
    locks, etc to 'integrity_'
    - replace '20' with SHA1_DIGEST_SIZE
    - reflect location change in appropriate Kconfig and Makefiles
    - remove unnecessary initialization of iint_initialized to 0
    - rebased on current ima_iint.c
    - define integrity_iint_store/lock as static

    There should be no other functional changes.
