    This reverts merge 0f75ef6a9cff49ff612f7ce0578bced9d0b38325 (and thus
    effectively commits

    7a1ade847596 ("keys: Provide KEYCTL_GRANT_PERMISSION")
    2e12256b9a76 ("keys: Replace uid/gid/perm permissions checking with an ACL")

    that the merge brought in).

    It turns out that it breaks booting with an encrypted volume, and Eric
    biggers reports that it also breaks the fscrypt tests [1] and loading of
    in-kernel X.509 certificates [2].

    The root cause of all the breakage is likely the same, but David Howells
    is off email so rather than try to work it out it's getting reverted in
    order to not impact the rest of the merge window.

  • Pull keyring ACL support from David Howells:
    "This changes the permissions model used by keys and keyrings to be
    based on an internal ACL by the following means:

    - Replace the permissions mask internally with an ACL that contains a
    list of ACEs, each with a specific subject with a permissions mask.
    Potted default ACLs are available for new keys and keyrings.

    ACE subjects can be macroised to indicate the UID and GID specified
    on the key (which remain). Future commits will be able to add
    additional subject types, such as specific UIDs or domain
    tags/namespaces.

    Also split a number of permissions to give finer control. Examples
    include splitting the revocation permit from the change-attributes
    permit, thereby allowing someone to be granted permission to revoke
    a key without allowing them to change the owner; also the ability
    to join a keyring is split from the ability to link to it, thereby
    stopping a process accessing a keyring by joining it and thus
    acquiring use of possessor permits.

    - Provide a keyctl to allow the granting or denial of one or more
    permits to a specific subject. Direct access to the ACL is not
    granted, and the ACL cannot be viewed"

    Pull keyring namespacing from David Howells:
    "These patches help make keys and keyrings more namespace aware.

    Firstly some miscellaneous patches to make the process easier:

    - Simplify key index_key handling so that the word-sized chunks
    assoc_array requires don't have to be shifted about, making it
    easier to add more bits into the key.

    - Cache the hash value in the key so that we don't have to calculate
    on every key we examine during a search (it involves a bunch of
    multiplications).

    - Allow keying_search() to search non-recursively.

    Then the main patches:

    - Make it so that keyring names are per-user_namespace from the point
    of view of KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING so that they're not
    accessible cross-user_namespace.

    keyctl_capabilities() shows KEYCTL_CAPS1_NS_KEYRING_NAME for this.

    - Move the user and user-session keyrings to the user_namespace
    rather than the user_struct. This prevents them propagating
    directly across user_namespaces boundaries (ie. the KEY_SPEC_*
    flags will only pick from the current user_namespace).

    - Make it possible to include the target namespace in which the key
    shall operate in the index_key. This will allow the possibility of
    multiple keys with the same description, but different target
    domains to be held in the same keyring.

    keyctl_capabilities() shows KEYCTL_CAPS1_NS_KEY_TAG for this.

    - Make it so that keys are implicitly invalidated by removal of a
    domain tag, causing them to be garbage collected.

    - Institute a network namespace domain tag that allows keys to be
    differentiated by the network namespace in which they operate. New
    keys that are of a type marked 'KEY_TYPE_NET_DOMAIN' are assigned
    the network domain in force when they are created.

    - Make it so that the desired network namespace can be handed down
    into the request_key() mechanism. This allows AFS, NFS, etc. to
    request keys specific to the network namespace of the superblock.

    This also means that the keys in the DNS record cache are
    thenceforth namespaced, provided network filesystems pass the
    appropriate network namespace down into dns_query().

    For DNS, AFS and NFS are good, whilst CIFS and Ceph are not. Other
    cache keyrings, such as idmapper keyrings, also need to set the
    domain tag - for which they need access to the network namespace of
    the superblock"

  • Replace the uid/gid/perm permissions checking on a key with an ACL to allow
    the SETATTR and SEARCH permissions to be split. This will also allow a
    greater range of subjects to represented.

    ============
    WHY DO THIS?
    ============

    The problem is that SETATTR and SEARCH cover a slew of actions, not all of
    which should be grouped together.

    For SETATTR, this includes actions that are about controlling access to a
    key:

    (1) Changing a key's ownership.

    (2) Changing a key's security information.

    (3) Setting a keyring's restriction.

    And actions that are about managing a key's lifetime:

    (4) Setting an expiry time.

    (5) Revoking a key.

    and (proposed) managing a key as part of a cache:

    (6) Invalidating a key.

    Managing a key's lifetime doesn't really have anything to do with
    controlling access to that key.

    Expiry time is awkward since it's more about the lifetime of the content
    and so, in some ways goes better with WRITE permission. It can, however,
    be set unconditionally by a process with an appropriate authorisation token
    for instantiating a key, and can also be set by the key type driver when a
    key is instantiated, so lumping it with the access-controlling actions is
    probably okay.

    As for SEARCH permission, that currently covers:

    (1) Finding keys in a keyring tree during a search.

    (2) Permitting keyrings to be joined.

    (3) Invalidation.

    But these don't really belong together either, since these actions really
    need to be controlled separately.

    Finally, there are number of special cases to do with granting the
    administrator special rights to invalidate or clear keys that I would like
    to handle with the ACL rather than key flags and special checks.

    ===============
    WHAT IS CHANGED
    ===============

    The SETATTR permission is split to create two new permissions:

    (1) SET_SECURITY - which allows the key's owner, group and ACL to be
    changed and a restriction to be placed on a keyring.

    (2) REVOKE - which allows a key to be revoked.

    The SEARCH permission is split to create:

    (1) SEARCH - which allows a keyring to be search and a key to be found.

    (2) JOIN - which allows a keyring to be joined as a session keyring.

    (3) INVAL - which allows a key to be invalidated.

    The WRITE permission is also split to create:

    (1) WRITE - which allows a key's content to be altered and links to be
    added, removed and replaced in a keyring.

    (2) CLEAR - which allows a keyring to be cleared completely. This is
    split out to make it possible to give just this to an administrator.

    (3) REVOKE - see above.

    Keys acquire ACLs which consist of a series of ACEs, and all that apply are
    unioned together. An ACE specifies a subject, such as:

    (*) Possessor - permitted to anyone who 'possesses' a key
    (*) Owner - permitted to the key owner
    (*) Group - permitted to the key group
    (*) Everyone - permitted to everyone

    Note that 'Other' has been replaced with 'Everyone' on the assumption that
    you wouldn't grant a permit to 'Other' that you wouldn't also grant to
    everyone else.

    Further subjects may be made available by later patches.

    The ACE also specifies a permissions mask. The set of permissions is now:

    VIEW Can view the key metadata
    READ Can read the key content
    WRITE Can update/modify the key content
    SEARCH Can find the key by searching/requesting
    LINK Can make a link to the key
    SET_SECURITY Can change owner, ACL, expiry
    INVAL Can invalidate
    REVOKE Can revoke
    JOIN Can join this keyring
    CLEAR Can clear this keyring

    The KEYCTL_SETPERM function is then deprecated.

    The KEYCTL_SET_TIMEOUT function then is permitted if SET_SECURITY is set,
    or if the caller has a valid instantiation auth token.

    The KEYCTL_INVALIDATE function then requires INVAL.

    The KEYCTL_REVOKE function then requires REVOKE.

    The KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING function then requires JOIN to join an
    existing keyring.

    The JOIN permission is enabled by default for session keyrings and manually
    created keyrings only.

    ======================
    BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY
    ======================

    To maintain backward compatibility, KEYCTL_SETPERM will translate the
    permissions mask it is given into a new ACL for a key - unless
    KEYCTL_SET_ACL has been called on that key, in which case an error will be
    returned.

    It will convert possessor, owner, group and other permissions into separate
    ACEs, if each portion of the mask is non-zero.

    SETATTR permission turns on all of INVAL, REVOKE and SET_SECURITY. WRITE
    permission turns on WRITE, REVOKE and, if a keyring, CLEAR. JOIN is turned
    on if a keyring is being altered.

    The KEYCTL_DESCRIBE function translates the ACL back into a permissions
    mask to return depending on possessor, owner, group and everyone ACEs.

    It will make the following mappings:

    (1) INVAL, JOIN -> SEARCH

    (2) SET_SECURITY -> SETATTR

    (3) REVOKE -> WRITE if SETATTR isn't already set

    (4) CLEAR -> WRITE

    Note that the value subsequently returned by KEYCTL_DESCRIBE may not match
    the value set with KEYCTL_SETATTR.

    =======
    TESTING
    =======

    This passes the keyutils testsuite for all but a couple of tests:

    (1) tests/keyctl/dh_compute/badargs: The first wrong-key-type test now
    returns EOPNOTSUPP rather than ENOKEY as READ permission isn't removed
    if the type doesn't have ->read(). You still can't actually read the
    key.

    (2) tests/keyctl/permitting/valid: The view-other-permissions test doesn't
    work as Other has been replaced with Everyone in the ACL.

  • Add the following:

    (1) A new system keyring that is used to store information about
    blacklisted certificates and signatures.

    (2) A new key type (called 'blacklist') that is used to store a
    blacklisted hash in its description as a hex string. The key accepts
    no payload.

    (3) The ability to configure a list of blacklisted hashes into the kernel
    at build time. This is done by setting
    CONFIG_SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_HASH_LIST to the filename of a list of hashes
    that are in the form:

    "", "", ..., ""

    where each is a hex string representation of the hash and must
    include all necessary leading zeros to pad the hash to the right size.

    The above are enabled with CONFIG_SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_KEYRING.

    Once the kernel is booted, the blacklist keyring can be listed:

    root@andromeda ~]# keyctl show %:.blacklist
    Keyring
    723359729 ---lswrv 0 0 keyring: .blacklist
    676257228 ---lswrv 0 0 \_ blacklist: 123412341234c55c1dcc601ab8e172917706aa32fb5eaf826813547fdf02dd46

    The blacklist cannot currently be modified by userspace, but it will be
    possible to load it, for example, from the UEFI blacklist database.

    A later commit will make it possible to load blacklisted asymmetric keys in
    here too.
