fs/kernel_file_read: Add "offset" arg for partial reads

2020-10-05T11:37:04+00:00

To perform partial reads, callers of kernel_read_file*() must have a
non-NULL file_size argument and a preallocated buffer. The new "offset"
argument can then be used to seek to specific locations in the file to
fill the buffer to, at most, "buf_size" per call.

Where possible, the LSM hooks can report whether a full file has been
read or not so that the contents can be reasoned about.

LSM: Add "contents" flag to kernel_read_file hook

2020-10-05T11:37:03+00:00

As with the kernel_load_data LSM hook, add a "contents" flag to the
kernel_read_file LSM hook that indicates whether the LSM can expect
a matching call to the kernel_post_read_file LSM hook with the full
contents of the file. With the coming addition of partial file read
support for kernel_read_file*() API, the LSM will no longer be able
to always see the entire contents of a file during the read calls.

For cases where the LSM must read examine the complete file contents,
it will need to do so on its own every time the kernel_read_file
hook is called with contents=false (or reject such cases). Adjust all
existing LSMs to retain existing behavior.

fs/kernel_read_file: Add file_size output argument

2020-10-05T11:37:03+00:00

In preparation for adding partial read support, add an optional output
argument to kernel_read_file*() that reports the file size so callers
can reason more easily about their reading progress.

fs/kernel_read_file: Switch buffer size arg to size_t

2020-10-05T11:34:19+00:00

In preparation for further refactoring of kernel_read_file*(), rename
the "max_size" argument to the more accurate "buf_size", and correct
its type to size_t. Add kerndoc to explain the specifics of how the
arguments will be used. Note that with buf_size now size_t, it can no
longer be negative (and was never called with a negative value). Adjust
callers to use it as a "maximum size" when *buf is NULL.

fs/kernel_read_file: Remove redundant size argument

2020-10-05T11:34:18+00:00

In preparation for refactoring kernel_read_file*(), remove the redundant
"size" argument which is not needed: it can be included in the return
code, with callers adjusted. (VFS reads already cannot be larger than
INT_MAX.)

fs/kernel_read_file: Split into separate source file

2020-10-05T11:34:18+00:00

These routines are used in places outside of exec(2), so in preparation
for refactoring them, move them into a separate source file,
fs/kernel_read_file.c.
