  • This patch removes from net/ (but not any netfilter files)
    all the unnecessary return; statements that precede the
    last closing brace of void functions.

    It does not remove the returns that are immediately
    preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that.

    Done via:
    $ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \
    xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }'

  • The recent changes to add RCU lock verification to rcu_dereference() calls
    caught out a problem with netlbl_unlhsh_hash(), see below.

    ===================================================
    [ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
    ---------------------------------------------------
    net/netlabel/netlabel_unlabeled.c:246 invoked rcu_dereference_check()
    without protection!

    This patch fixes this problem as well as others like it in the NetLabel
    code. Also included in this patch is the identification of future work
    to eliminate the RCU read lock in netlbl_domhsh_add(), but in the interest
    of getting this patch out quickly that work will happen in another patch
    to be finished later.

    Thanks to Eric Dumazet and Paul McKenney for their help in understanding
    the recent RCU changes.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • The NetLabel address selector mechanism has a problem where it can get
    mistakenly remove the wrong selector when similar addresses are used. The
    problem is caused when multiple addresses are configured that have different
    netmasks but the same address, e.g. 127.0.0.0/8 and 127.0.0.0/24. This patch
    fixes the problem.

  • This patch cleans up a lot of the Smack network access control code. The
    largest changes are to fix the labeling of incoming TCP connections in a
    manner similar to the recent SELinux changes which use the
    security_inet_conn_request() hook to label the request_sock and let the label
    move to the child socket via the normal network stack mechanisms. In addition
    to the incoming TCP connection fixes this patch also removes the smk_labled
    field from the socket_smack struct as the minor optimization advantage was
    outweighed by the difficulty in maintaining it's proper state.

  • The current NetLabel/SELinux behavior for incoming TCP connections works but
    only through a series of happy coincidences that rely on the limited nature of
    standard CIPSO (only able to convey MLS attributes) and the write equality
    imposed by the SELinux MLS constraints. The problem is that network sockets
    created as the result of an incoming TCP connection were not on-the-wire
    labeled based on the security attributes of the parent socket but rather based
    on the wire label of the remote peer. The issue had to do with how IP options
    were managed as part of the network stack and where the LSM hooks were in
    relation to the code which set the IP options on these newly created child
    sockets. While NetLabel/SELinux did correctly set the socket's on-the-wire
    label it was promptly cleared by the network stack and reset based on the IP
    options of the remote peer.

    This patch, in conjunction with a prior patch that adjusted the LSM hook
    locations, works to set the correct on-the-wire label format for new incoming
    connections through the security_inet_conn_request() hook. Besides the
    correct behavior there are many advantages to this change, the most significant
    is that all of the NetLabel socket labeling code in SELinux now lives in hooks
    which can return error codes to the core stack which allows us to finally get
    ride of the selinux_netlbl_inode_permission() logic which greatly simplfies
    the NetLabel/SELinux glue code. In the process of developing this patch I
    also ran into a small handful of AF_INET6 cleanliness issues that have been
    fixed which should make the code safer and easier to extend in the future.

  • Add the necessary NetLabel support for the new CIPSO mapping,

  • This patch accomplishes three minor tasks: add a new tag type for local
    labeling, rename the CIPSO_V4_MAP_STD define to CIPSO_V4_MAP_TRANS and
    replace some of the CIPSO "magic numbers" with constants from the header
    file. The first change allows CIPSO to support full LSM labels/contexts,
    not just MLS attributes. The second change brings the mapping names inline
    with what userspace is using, compatibility is preserved since we don't
    actually change the value. The last change is to aid readability and help
    prevent mistakes.

  • Previous work enabled the use of address based NetLabel selectors, which while
    highly useful, brought the potential for additional per-packet overhead when
    used. This patch attempts to solve that by applying NetLabel socket labels
    when sockets are connect()'d. This should alleviate the per-packet NetLabel
    labeling for all connected sockets (yes, it even works for connected DGRAM
    sockets).

  • This patch builds upon the new NetLabel address selector functionality by
    providing the NetLabel KAPI and CIPSO engine support needed to enable the
    new packet-based labeling. The only new addition to the NetLabel KAPI at
    this point is shown below:

    * int netlbl_skbuff_setattr(skb, family, secattr)

    ... and is designed to be called from a Netfilter hook after the packet's
    IP header has been populated such as in the FORWARD or LOCAL_OUT hooks.

    This patch also provides the necessary SELinux hooks to support this new
    functionality. Smack support is not currently included due to uncertainty
    regarding the permissions needed to expand the Smack network access controls.

  • Create an ordered IP address linked list mechanism similar to the core
    kernel's linked list construct. The idea behind this list functionality
    is to create an extensibile linked list ordered by IP address mask to
    ease the matching of network addresses. The linked list is ordered with
    larger address masks at the front of the list and shorter address masks
    at the end to facilitate overriding network entries with individual host
    or subnet entries.

  • NetLabel has always had a list of backpointers in the CIPSO DOI definition
    structure which pointed to the NetLabel LSM domain mapping structures which
    referenced the CIPSO DOI struct. The rationale for this was that when an
    administrator removed a CIPSO DOI from the system all of the associated
    NetLabel LSM domain mappings should be removed as well; a list of
    backpointers made this a simple operation.

    Unfortunately, while the backpointers did make the removal easier they were
    a bit of a mess from an implementation point of view which was making
    further development difficult. Since the removal of a CIPSO DOI is a
    realtively rare event it seems to make sense to remove this backpointer
    list as the optimization was hurting us more then it was helping. However,
    we still need to be able to track when a CIPSO DOI definition is being used
    so replace the backpointer list with a reference count. In order to
    preserve the current functionality of removing the associated LSM domain
    mappings when a CIPSO DOI is removed we walk the LSM domain mapping table,
    removing the relevant entries.

  • After some discussions with the Smack folks, well just Casey, I now have a
    better idea of what Smack wants out of NetLabel in the future so I think it
    is now safe to do some API "pruning". If another LSM comes along that
    needs this functionality we can always add it back in, but I don't see any
    LSMs on the horizon which might make use of these functions.

  • Fix a few sparse warnings. One dealt with a RCU lock being held on error,
    another dealt with an improper type caused by a signed/unsigned mixup while
    the rest appeared to be caused by using rcu_dereference() in a
    list_for_each_entry_rcu() call. The latter probably isn't a big deal, but
    I derive a certain pleasure from knowing that the net/netlabel is nice and
