<title>selinux: add gfp argument to security_xfrm_policy_alloc and fix callers</title>

<id>52a4c6404f91f2d2c5592ee6365a8418c4565f53</id>
<content type='text'>
security_xfrm_policy_alloc can be called in atomic context so the
allocation should be done with GFP_ATOMIC. Add an argument to let the
callers choose the appropriate way. In order to do so a gfp argument
needs to be added to the method xfrm_policy_alloc_security in struct
security_operations and to the internal function
selinux_xfrm_alloc_user. After that switch to GFP_ATOMIC in the atomic
callers and leave GFP_KERNEL as before for the rest.
The path that needed the gfp argument addition is:
security_xfrm_policy_alloc -&gt; security_ops.xfrm_policy_alloc_security -&gt;
all users of xfrm_policy_alloc_security (e.g. selinux_xfrm_policy_alloc) -&gt;
selinux_xfrm_alloc_user (here the allocation used to be GFP_KERNEL only)

Now adding a gfp argument to selinux_xfrm_alloc_user requires us to also
add it to security_context_to_sid which is used inside and prior to this
patch did only GFP_KERNEL allocation. So add gfp argument to
security_context_to_sid and adjust all of its callers as well.

<title>security: have cap_dentry_init_security return error</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently, cap_dentry_init_security returns 0 without actually
initializing the security label. This confuses its only caller
(nfs4_label_init_security) which expects an error in that situation, and
causes it to end up sending out junk onto the wire instead of simply
suppressing the label in the attributes sent.

When CONFIG_SECURITY is disabled, security_dentry_init_security returns
-EOPNOTSUPP. Have cap_dentry_init_security do the same.

resolve a conflict in security/selinux/hooks.c:selinux_set_mnt_opts()
between the labeled NFS patches and Eric's security_fs_use()

<content type='text'>
The xfrm_state_alloc_security() LSM hook implementation is really a
multiplexed hook with two different behaviors depending on the
arguments passed to it by the caller.  This patch splits the LSM hook
implementation into two new hook implementations, which match the
LSM hooks in the rest of the kernel:

 * xfrm_state_alloc
 * xfrm_state_alloc_acquire

Also included in this patch are the necessary changes to the SELinux
code; no other LSMs are affected.

Since everybody sets kstrdup()ed constant string to "struct xattr"-&gt;name but
nobody modifies "struct xattr"-&gt;name , we can omit kstrdup() and its failure

   - 4.1 enabled on the server by default: the last 4.1-specific issues
     I know of are fixed, so we're not going to find the rest of the
     bugs without more exposure.
   - Experimental support for NFSv4.2 MAC Labeling (to allow running
     selinux over NFS), from Dave Quigley.
   - Fixes for some delicate cache/upcall races that could cause rare
     server hangs; thanks to Neil Brown and Bodo Stroesser for extreme
     debugging persistence.
   - Fixes for some bugs found at the recent NFS bakeathon, mostly v4
     and v4.1-specific, but also a generic bug handling fragmented rpc
     calls"

<content type='text'>
There is no way to differentiate if a text mount option is passed from user
space or the kernel. A flags field is being added to the
security_sb_set_mnt_opts hook to allow for in kernel security flags to be sent
to the LSM for processing in addition to the text options received from mount.
This patch also updated existing code to fix compilation errors.

The interface to request security labels from user space is the xattr
interface. When requesting the security label from an NFS server it is
important to make sure the requested xattr actually is a MAC label. This allows
us to make sure that we get the desired semantics from the attribute instead of
something else such as capabilities or a time based LSM.
