SELinux was sometimes using the task "objective" credentials when
it could/should use the "subjective" credentials.  This was sometimes
hidden by the fact that we were unnecessarily passing around pointers
to the current task, making it appear as if the task could be something
other than current, so eliminate all such passing of current.  Inline
various permission checking helper functions that can be reduced to a
single avc_has_perm() call.

Since the credentials infrastructure only allows a task to alter
its own credentials, we can always assume that current must be the same
as the target task in selinux_setprocattr after the check. We likely
should move this check from selinux_setprocattr() to proc_pid_attr_write()
and drop the task argument to the security hook altogether; it can only
serve to confuse things.

<title>selinux: Convert isec-&gt;lock into a spinlock</title>

Convert isec-&gt;lock from a mutex into a spinlock.  Instead of holding
the lock while sleeping in inode_doinit_with_dentry, set
isec-&gt;initialized to LABEL_PENDING and release the lock.  Then, when
the sid has been determined, re-acquire the lock.  If isec-&gt;initialized
is still set to LABEL_PENDING, set isec-&gt;sid; otherwise, the sid has
been set by another task (LABEL_INITIALIZED) or invalidated
(LABEL_INVALID) in the meantime.

This fixes a deadlock on gfs2 where

 * one task is in inode_doinit_with_dentry -&gt; gfs2_getxattr, holds
   isec-&gt;lock, and tries to acquire the inode's glock, and

 * another task is in do_xmote -&gt; inode_go_inval -&gt;
   selinux_inode_invalidate_secctx, holds the inode's glock, and
   tries to acquire isec-&gt;lock.

<title>selinux: simply inode label states to INVALID and INITIALIZED</title>

There really is no need for LABEL_MISSING as we really only care if
the inode's label is INVALID or INITIALIZED.  Also adjust the
revalidate code to reload the label whenever the label is not
INITIALIZED so we are less sensitive to label state in the future.

<title>selinux: make the netif cache namespace aware</title>

While SELinux largely ignores namespaces, for good reason, there are
some places where it needs to at least be aware of namespaces in order
to function correctly.  Network namespaces are one example.  Basic
awareness of network namespaces are necessary in order to match a
network interface's index number to an actual network device.

This patch corrects a problem with network interfaces added to a
non-init namespace, and can be reproduced with the following commands:

 [NOTE: the NetLabel configuration is here only to active the dynamic
        networking controls ]

 # netlabelctl unlbl add default address:0.0.0.0/0 \
   label:system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0
 # netlabelctl unlbl add default address:::/0 \
   label:system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0
 # netlabelctl cipsov4 add pass doi:100 tags:1
 # netlabelctl map add domain:lspp_test_netlabel_t \
   protocol:cipsov4,100

 # ip link add type veth
 # ip netns add myns
 # ip link set veth1 netns myns
 # ip a add dev veth0 10.250.13.100/24
 # ip netns exec myns ip a add dev veth1 10.250.13.101/24
 # ip l set veth0 up
 # ip netns exec myns ip l set veth1 up

 # ping -c 1 10.250.13.101

Investigating, I found that the inode-&gt;i_security was NULL, and the
dereference of it caused the oops.

in selinux_inode_permission():

	isec = inode-&gt;i_security;

	rc = avc_has_perm_noaudit(sid, isec-&gt;sid, isec-&gt;sclass, perms, 0, &amp;avd);

Note, the crash came from stressing the deletion and reading of debugfs
files.  I was not able to recreate this via normal files.  But I'm not
sure they are safe.  It may just be that the race window is much harder
to hit.

What seems to have happened (and what I have traced), is the file is
being opened at the same time the file or directory is being deleted.
As the dentry and inode locks are not held during the path walk, nor is
the inodes ref counts being incremented, there is nothing saving these
structures from being discarded except for an rcu_read_lock().

The rcu_read_lock() protects against freeing of the inode, but it does
not protect freeing of the inode_security_struct.  Now if the freeing of
the i_security happens with a call_rcu(), and the i_security field of
the inode is not changed (it gets freed as the inode gets freed) then
there will be no issue here.  (Linus Torvalds suggested not setting the
field to NULL such that we do not need to check if it is NULL in the
permission check).

Note, this is a hack, but it fixes the problem at hand.  A real fix is
to restructure the destroy_inode() to call all the destructor handlers
from the RCU callback.  But that is a major job to do, and requires a
lot of work.  For now, we just band-aid this bug with this fix (it
works), and work on a more maintainable solution in the future.

We only have 6 options, so char is good enough, but use a short as that
packs nicely.  This shrinks the superblock_security_struct just a little
bit.

Just to make it clear that we have mount time options and flags,
separate them.  Since I decided to move the non-mount options above
above 0x10, we need a short instead of a char.  (x86 padding says
this takes up no additional space as we have a 3byte whole in the
structure)

<title>tun: fix LSM/SELinux labeling of tun/tap devices</title>

<id>5dbbaf2de89613d19a9286d4db0a535ca2735d26</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch corrects some problems with LSM/SELinux that were introduced
with the multiqueue patchset.  The problem stems from the fact that the
multiqueue work changed the relationship between the tun device and its
associated socket; before the socket persisted for the life of the
device, however after the multiqueue changes the socket only persisted
for the life of the userspace connection (fd open).  For non-persistent
devices this is not an issue, but for persistent devices this can cause
the tun device to lose its SELinux label.

We correct this problem by adding an opaque LSM security blob to the
tun device struct which allows us to have the LSM security state, e.g.
SELinux labeling information, persist for the lifetime of the tun
device.  In the process we tweak the LSM hooks to work with this new
approach to TUN device/socket labeling and introduce a new LSM hook,
security_tun_dev_attach_queue(), to approve requests to attach to a
TUN queue via TUNSETQUEUE.

The SELinux code has been adjusted to match the new LSM hooks, the
other LSMs do not make use of the LSM TUN controls.  This patch makes
use of the recently added "tun_socket:attach_queue" permission to
restrict access to the TUNSETQUEUE operation.  On older SELinux
policies which do not define the "tun_socket:attach_queue" permission
the access control decision for TUNSETQUEUE will be handled according
to the SELinux policy's unknown permission setting.
