<content type='text'>
When SELinux was first added to the kernel, a process could only get
and set its own resource limits via getrlimit(2) and setrlimit(2), so no
MAC checks were required for those operations, and thus no security hooks
were defined for them. Later, SELinux introduced a hook for setlimit(2)
with a check if the hard limit was being changed in order to be able to
rely on the hard limit value as a safe reset point upon context
transitions.

Later on, when prlimit(2) was added to the kernel with the ability to get
or set resource limits (hard or soft) of another process, LSM/SELinux was
not updated other than to pass the target process to the setrlimit hook.
This resulted in incomplete control over both getting and setting the
resource limits of another process.

Add a new security_task_prlimit() hook to the check_prlimit_permission()
function to provide complete mediation.  The hook is only called when
acting on another task, and only if the existing DAC/capability checks
would allow access.  Pass flags down to the hook to indicate whether the
prlimit(2) call will read, write, or both read and write the resource
limits of the target process.

The existing security_task_setrlimit() hook is left alone; it continues
to serve a purpose in supporting the ability to make decisions based on
the old and/or new resource limit values when setting limits.  This
is consistent with the DAC/capability logic, where
check_prlimit_permission() performs generic DAC/capability checks for
acting on another task, while do_prlimit() performs a capability check
based on a comparison of the old and new resource limits.  Fix the
inline documentation for the hook to match the code.

Implement the new hook for SELinux.  For setting resource limits, we
reuse the existing setrlimit permission.  Note that this does overload
the setrlimit permission to mean the ability to set the resource limit
(soft or hard) of another process or the ability to change one's own
hard limit.  For getting resource limits, a new getrlimit permission
is defined.  This was not originally defined since getrlimit(2) could
only be used to obtain a process' own limits.

commit 1ea0ce40690dff38935538e8dab7b12683ded0d3 ("selinux: allow
changing labels for cgroupfs") broke the Android init program,
which looks up security contexts whenever creating directories
and attempts to assign them via setfscreatecon().
When creating subdirectories in cgroup mounts, this would previously
be ignored since cgroup did not support userspace setting of security
contexts.  However, after the commit, SELinux would attempt to honor
the requested context on cgroup directories and fail due to permission
denial.  Avoid breaking existing userspace/policy by wrapping this change
with a conditional on a new cgroup_seclabel policy capability.  This
preserves existing behavior until/unless a new policy explicitly enables
this capability.

Several of the extended socket classes introduced by
commit da69a5306ab92e07 ("selinux: support distinctions
among all network address families") are never used because
sockets can never be created with the associated address family.
Remove these unused socket security classes.  The removed classes
are bridge_socket for PF_BRIDGE, ib_socket for PF_IB, and mpls_socket
for PF_MPLS.

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.

<content type='text'>
Extend SELinux to support distinctions among all network address families
implemented by the kernel by defining new socket security classes
and mapping to them. Otherwise, many sockets are mapped to the generic
socket class and are indistinguishable in policy.  This has come up
previously with regard to selectively allowing access to bluetooth sockets,
and more recently with regard to selectively allowing access to AF_ALG
sockets.  Guido Trentalancia submitted a patch that took a similar approach
to add only support for distinguishing AF_ALG sockets, but this generalizes
his approach to handle all address families implemented by the kernel.
Socket security classes are also added for ICMP and SCTP sockets.
Socket security classes were not defined for AF_* values that are reserved
but unimplemented in the kernel, e.g. AF_NETBEUI, AF_SECURITY, AF_ASH,
AF_ECONET, AF_SNA, AF_WANPIPE.

Backward compatibility is provided by only enabling the finer-grained
socket classes if a new policy capability is set in the policy; older
policies will behave as before.  The legacy redhat1 policy capability
that was only ever used in testing within Fedora for ptrace_child
is reclaimed for this purpose; as far as I can tell, this policy
capability is not enabled in any supported distro policy.

Add a pair of conditional compilation guards to detect when new AF_* values
are added so that we can update SELinux accordingly rather than having to
belatedly update it long after new address families are introduced.

Commit 3322d0d64f4e ("selinux: keep SELinux in sync with new capability
definitions") added a check on the defined capabilities without
explicitly including the capability header file which caused problems
when building genheaders for users of clang/llvm.  Resolve this by
using the kernel headers when building genheaders, which is arguably
the right thing to do regardless, and explicitly including the
kernel's capability.h header file in classmap.h.  We also update the
mdp build, even though it wasn't causing an error we really should
be using the headers from the kernel we are building.

Commit 3322d0d64f4e ("selinux: keep SELinux in sync with new capability
definitions") added a check on the defined capabilities without
explicitly including the capability header file which caused problems
when building genheaders for users of clang/llvm.  Resolve this by
using the kernel headers when building genheaders, which is arguably
the right thing to do regardless, and explicitly including the
kernel's capability.h header file in classmap.h.  We also update the
mdp build, even though it wasn't causing an error we really should
be using the headers from the kernel we are building.

<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: keep SELinux in sync with new capability definitions</title>

When a new capability is defined, SELinux needs to be updated.
Trigger a build error if a new capability is defined without
corresponding update to security/selinux/include/classmap.h's
COMMON_CAP2_PERMS.  This is similar to BUILD_BUG_ON() guards
in the SELinux nlmsgtab code to ensure that SELinux tracks
new netlink message types as needed.

Note that there is already a similar build guard in
security/selinux/hooks.c to detect when more than 64
capabilities are defined, since that will require adding
a third capability class to SELinux.

A nicer way to do this would be to extend scripts/selinux/genheaders
or a similar tool to auto-generate the necessary definitions and code
for SELinux capability checking from include/uapi/linux/capability.h.
AppArmor does something similar in its Makefile, although it only
needs to generate a single table of names.  That is left as future
work.

Remove the SECURITY_SELINUX_POLICYDB_VERSION_MAX Kconfig option

Per: https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/wiki/Kernel-Todo

This was only needed on Fedora 3 and 4 and just causes issues now,
so drop it.

The MAX and MIN should just be whatever the kernel can support.
