  • We lack proper synchronization to manipulate inet->opt ip_options

    Problem is ip_make_skb() calls ip_setup_cork() and
    ip_setup_cork() possibly makes a copy of ipc->opt (struct ip_options),
    without any protection against another thread manipulating inet->opt.

    Another thread can change inet->opt pointer and free old one under us.

    Use RCU to protect inet->opt (changed to inet->inet_opt).

    Instead of handling atomic refcounts, just copy ip_options when
    necessary, to avoid cache line dirtying.

    We cant insert an rcu_head in struct ip_options since its included in
    skb->cb[], so this patch is large because I had to introduce a new
    ip_options_rcu structure.

  • 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; }'

  • …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 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.

  • The CIPSO protocol engine incorrectly stated that the FIPS-188 specification
    could be found in the kernel's Documentation directory. This patch corrects
    that by removing the comment and directing users to the FIPS-188 documented
    hosted online. For the sake of completeness I've also included a link to the
    CIPSO draft specification on the NetLabel website.

    Thanks to Randy Dunlap for spotting the error and letting me know.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The cipso_v4_cache is allocated to contain CIPSO_V4_CACHE_BUCKETS
    buckets. The CIPSO_V4_CACHE_BUCKETS = 1 << CIPSO_V4_CACHE_BUCKETBITS,
    where CIPSO_V4_CACHE_BUCKETBITS = 7.

    The bucket-selection function for this hash is calculated like this:

    bkt = hash & (CIPSO_V4_CACHE_BUCKETBITS - 1);

  • IPv4 options are not very well aligned within the packet and the
    format of a CIPSO option is even worse. The result is that the CIPSO
    engine in the kernel does a few unaligned accesses when parsing and
    validating incoming packets with CIPSO options attached which generate
    error messages on certain alignment sensitive platforms. This patch
    fixes this by marking these unaligned accesses with the
    get_unaliagned() macro.

  • The current NetLabel code has some redundant APIs which allow both
    "struct socket" and "struct sock" types to be used; this may have made
    sense at some point but it is wasteful now. Remove the functions that
    operate on sockets and convert the callers. Not only does this make
    the code smaller and more consistent but it pushes the locking burden
    up to the caller which can be more intelligent about the locks. Also,
    perform the same conversion (socket to sock) on the SELinux/NetLabel
    glue code where it make sense.

  • Commit 484b366932be0b73a22c74a82748ca10a721643e added support for the CIPSO
    ranged categories tag. However, it appears that I made a mistake when rebasing
    then patch to the latest upstream sources for submission and dropped the part
    of the patch that actually parses the tag on incoming packets. This patch
    fixes this mistake by adding the required function call to the
    cipso_v4_skbuff_getattr() function.

    I've run this patch over the weekend and have not noticed any problems.

  • The current CIPSO engine has a problem where it does not verify that
    the given sensitivity level has a valid CIPSO mapping when the "std"
    CIPSO DOI type is used. The end result is that bad packets are sent
    on the wire which should have never been sent in the first place.
    This patch corrects this problem by verifying the sensitivity level
    mapping similar to what is done with the category mapping. This patch
    also changes the returned error code in this case to -EPERM to better
    match what the category mapping verification code returns.

  • The original NetLabel category bitmap was a straight char bitmap which worked
    fine for the initial release as it only supported 240 bits due to limitations
    in the CIPSO restricted bitmap tag (tag type 0x01). This patch converts that
    straight char bitmap into an extensibile/sparse bitmap in order to lay the
    foundation for other CIPSO tag types and protocols.

    This patch also has a nice side effect in that all of the security attributes
    passed by NetLabel into the LSM are now in a format which is in the host's
    native byte/bit ordering which makes the LSM specific code much simpler; look
    at the changes in security/selinux/ss/ebitmap.c as an example.
