To be consistent with most LSM hooks, convert the return value of
hook inode_copy_up_xattr to 0 or a negative error code.

Before:
- Hook inode_copy_up_xattr returns 0 when accepting xattr, 1 when
  discarding xattr, -EOPNOTSUPP if it does not know xattr, or any
  other negative error code otherwise.

After:
- Hook inode_copy_up_xattr returns 0 when accepting xattr, *-ECANCELED*
  when discarding xattr, -EOPNOTSUPP if it does not know xattr, or
  any other negative error code otherwise.

<title>evm: Enforce signatures on unsupported filesystem for EVM_INIT_X509</title>

<id>47add87ad181473e5ef2438918669540ba5016a6</id>
<content type='text'>
Unsupported filesystems currently do not enforce any signatures. Add
support for signature enforcement of the "original" and "portable &amp;
immutable" signatures when EVM_INIT_X509 is enabled.

The "original" signature type contains filesystem specific metadata.
Thus it cannot be copied up and verified. However with EVM_INIT_X509
and EVM_ALLOW_METADATA_WRITES enabled, the "original" file signature
may be written.

When EVM_ALLOW_METADATA_WRITES is not set or once it is removed from
/sys/kernel/security/evm by setting EVM_INIT_HMAC for example, it is not
possible to write or remove xattrs on the overlay filesystem.

This change still prevents EVM from writing HMAC signatures on
unsupported filesystem when EVM_INIT_HMAC is enabled.

On stacked filesystem the metadata inode may be different than the one
file data inode and therefore changes to it need to be detected
independently. Therefore, store the i_version, device number, and inode
number associated with the file metadata inode.

Implement a function to detect changes to the inode and if a change is
detected reset the evm_status. This function will be called by IMA when
IMA detects that the metadata inode is different from the file's inode.

Changes to file attributes (mode bits, uid, gid) on the lower layer are
not taken into account when d_backing_inode() is used when a file is
accessed on the overlay layer and this file has not yet been copied up.
This is because d_backing_inode() does not return the real inode of the
lower layer but instead returns the backing inode which in this case
holds wrong file attributes. Further, when CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_METACOPY is
enabled and a copy-up is triggered due to file metadata changes, then
the metadata are held by the backing inode while the data are still held
by the real inode. Therefore, use d_inode(d_real(dentry, D_REAL_METADATA))
to get to the file's metadata inode and use it to calculate the metadata
hash with.

To support "portable and immutable signatures" on otherwise unsupported
filesystems, determine the EVM signature type by the content of a file's
xattr. If the file has the appropriate signature type then allow it to be
copied up. All other signature types are discarded as before.

"Portable and immutable" EVM signatures can be copied up by stacked file-
system since the metadata their signature covers does not include file-
system-specific data such as a file's inode number, generation, and UUID.

Copying up xattrs is solely based on the security xattr name. For finer
granularity add a dentry parameter to the security_inode_copy_up_xattr
hook definition, allowing decisions to be based on the xattr content as
well.

<title>integrity: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings</title>

<content type='text'>
-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end is coming in GCC-14, and we are getting
ready to enable it globally.

There is currently an object (`hdr)` in `struct ima_max_digest_data`
that contains a flexible structure (`struct ima_digest_data`):

 struct ima_max_digest_data {
        struct ima_digest_data hdr;
        u8 digest[HASH_MAX_DIGESTSIZE];
 } __packed;

So, in order to avoid ending up with a flexible-array member in the
middle of a struct, we use the `__struct_group()` helper to separate
the flexible array from the rest of the members in the flexible
structure:

struct ima_digest_data {
        __struct_group(ima_digest_data_hdr, hdr, __packed,

        ... the rest of the members

        );
        u8 digest[];
} __packed;

And similarly for `struct evm_ima_xattr_data`.

With the change described above, we can now declare an object of the
type of the tagged `struct ima_digest_data_hdr`, without embedding the
flexible array in the middle of another struct:

 struct ima_max_digest_data {
        struct ima_digest_data_hdr hdr;
        u8 digest[HASH_MAX_DIGESTSIZE];
 } __packed;

And similarly for `struct evm_digest` and `struct evm_xattr`.

We also use `container_of()` whenever we need to retrieve a pointer to
the flexible structure.

So, with these changes, fix the following warnings:

security/integrity/evm/evm.h:64:32: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

Define a new structure for EVM-specific metadata, called evm_iint_cache,
and embed it in the inode security blob. Introduce evm_iint_inode() to
retrieve metadata, and register evm_inode_alloc_security() for the
inode_alloc_security LSM hook, to initialize the structure (before
splitting metadata, this task was done by iint_init_always()).

Keep the non-NULL checks after calling evm_iint_inode() except in
evm_inode_alloc_security(), to take into account inodes for which
security_inode_alloc() was not called. When using shared metadata,
obtaining a NULL pointer from integrity_iint_find() meant that the file
wasn't in the IMA policy. Now, because IMA and EVM use disjoint metadata,
the EVM status has to be stored for every inode regardless of the IMA
policy.

Given that from now on EVM relies on its own metadata, remove the iint
parameter from evm_verifyxattr(). Also, directly retrieve the iint in
evm_verify_hmac(), called by both evm_verifyxattr() and
evm_verify_current_integrity(), since now there is no performance penalty
in retrieving EVM metadata (constant time).

Replicate the management of the IMA_NEW_FILE flag, by introducing
evm_post_path_mknod() and evm_file_release() to respectively set and clear
the newly introduced flag EVM_NEW_FILE, at the same time IMA does. Like for
IMA, select CONFIG_SECURITY_PATH when EVM is enabled, to ensure that files
are marked as new.

Unlike ima_post_path_mknod(), evm_post_path_mknod() cannot check if a file
must be appraised. Thus, it marks all affected files. Also, it does not
clear EVM_NEW_FILE depending on i_version, but that is not a problem
because IMA_NEW_FILE is always cleared when set in ima_check_last_writer().

Move the EVM-specific flag EVM_IMMUTABLE_DIGSIG to
security/integrity/evm/evm.h, since that definition is now unnecessary in
the common integrity layer.

Finally, switch to the LSM reservation mechanism for the EVM xattr, and
consequently decrement by one the number of xattrs to allocate in
security_inode_init_security().
