The disabled/enforcing/initialized flags are all accessed concurrently
by threads so use the appropriate accessors that ensure atomicity and
document that it is expected.

Use smp_load/acquire...() helpers (with memory barriers) for the
initialized flag, since it gates access to the rest of the state
structures.

Note that the disabled flag is currently not used for anything other
than avoiding double disable, but it will be used for bailing out of
hooks once security_delete_hooks() is removed.

Randomize the layout of key selinux data structures.
Initially this is applied to the selinux_state, selinux_ss,
policydb, and task_security_struct data structures.

NB To test/use this mechanism, one must install the
necessary build-time dependencies, e.g. gcc-plugin-devel on Fedora,
and enable CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_RANDSTRUCT in the kernel configuration.

Rename selinux_enabled to selinux_enabled_boot to make it clear that
it only reflects whether SELinux was enabled at boot.  Replace the
references to it in the MAC_STATUS audit log in sel_write_enforce()
with hardcoded "1" values because this code is only reachable if SELinux
is enabled and does not change its value, and update the corresponding
MAC_STATUS audit log in sel_write_disable().  Stop clearing
selinux_enabled in selinux_disable() since it is not used outside of
initialization code that runs before selinux_disable() can be reached.
Mark both selinux_enabled_boot and selinux_enforcing_boot as __initdata
since they are only used in initialization code.

Wrap the disabled field in the struct selinux_state with
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE since it is only used for
runtime disable.

<title>selinux: sidtab reverse lookup hash table</title>

<id>66f8e2f03c02e812002f8e9e465681cc62edda5b</id>
<content type='text'>
This replaces the reverse table lookup and reverse cache with a
hashtable which improves cache-miss reverse-lookup times from
O(n) to O(1)* and maintains the same performance as a reverse
cache hit.

This reduces the time needed to add a new sidtab entry from ~500us
to 5us on a Pixel 3 when there are ~10,000 sidtab entries.

The implementation uses the kernel's generic hashtable API,
It uses the context's string represtation as the hash source,
and the kernels generic string hashing algorithm full_name_hash()
to reduce the string to a 32 bit value.

This change also maintains the improvement introduced in
commit ee1a84fdfeed ("selinux: overhaul sidtab to fix bug and improve
performance") which removed the need to keep the current sidtab
locked during policy reload. It does however introduce periodic
locking of the target sidtab while converting the hashtable. Sidtab
entries are never modified or removed, so the context struct stored
in the sid_to_context tree can also be used for the context_to_sid
hashtable to reduce memory usage.

This bug was reported by:
- On the selinux bug tracker.
  BUG: kernel softlockup due to too many SIDs/contexts #37
  https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux-kernel/issues/37
- Jovana Knezevic on Android's bugtracker.
  Bug: 140252993
  "During multi-user performance testing, we create and remove users
  many times. selinux_android_restorecon_pkgdir goes from 1ms to over
  20ms after about 200 user creations and removals. Accumulated over
  ~280 packages, that adds a significant time to user creation,
  making perf benchmarks unreliable."

* Hashtable lookup is only O(1) when n &lt; the number of buckets.

<title>selinux: default_range glblub implementation</title>

<id>42345b68c2e3e2b6549fc34b937ff44240dfc3b6</id>
<content type='text'>
A policy developer can now specify glblub as a default_range default and
the computed transition will be the intersection of the mls range of
the two contexts.

The glb (greatest lower bound) lub (lowest upper bound) of a range is calculated
as the greater of the low sensitivities and the lower of the high sensitivities
and the and of each category bitmap.

This can be used by MLS solution developers to compute a context that satisfies,
for example, the range of a network interface and the range of a user logging in.

Some examples are:

User Permitted Range | Network Device Label | Computed Label
---------------------|----------------------|----------------
s0-s1:c0.c12         | s0                   | s0

<title>selinux: try security xattr after genfs for kernfs filesystems</title>

<id>b754026bd98e644f9337224ffd4201e02dfe1c43</id>
<content type='text'>
Since kernfs supports the security xattr handlers, we can simply use
these to determine the inode's context, dropping the need to update it
from kernfs explicitly using a security_inode_notifysecctx() call.

We achieve this by setting a new sbsec flag SE_SBGENFS_XATTR to all
mounts that are known to use kernfs under the hood and then fetching the
xattrs after determining the fallback genfs sid in
inode_doinit_with_dentry() when this flag is set.

This will allow implementing full security xattr support in kernfs and
removing the ...notifysecctx() call in a subsequent patch.

In case a file has an invalid context set, in an AVC record generated
upon access to such file, the target context is always reported as
unlabeled. This patch adds new optional fields to the AVC record
(srawcon and trawcon) that report the actual context string if it
differs from the one reported in scontext/tcontext. This is useful for
diagnosing SELinux denials involving invalid contexts.

To trigger an AVC that illustrates this situation:

    # setenforce 0
    # touch /tmp/testfile
    # setfattr -n security.selinux -v system_u:object_r:banana_t:s0 /tmp/testfile
    # runcon system_u:system_r:sshd_t:s0 cat /tmp/testfile

AVC before:

type=AVC msg=audit(1547801083.248:11): avc:  denied  { open } for  pid=1149 comm="cat" path="/tmp/testfile" dev="tmpfs" ino=6608 scontext=system_u:system_r:sshd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s15:c0.c1023 tclass=file permissive=1

AVC after:

type=AVC msg=audit(1547801083.248:11): avc:  denied  { open } for  pid=1149 comm="cat" path="/tmp/testfile" dev="tmpfs" ino=6608 scontext=system_u:system_r:sshd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s15:c0.c1023 tclass=file permissive=1 trawcon=system_u:object_r:banana_t:s0

Note that it is also possible to encounter this situation with the
'scontext' field - e.g. when a new policy is loaded while a process is
running, whose context is not valid in the new policy.
