2021-05-18debugfs: fix security_locked_down() call for SELinuxOndrej Mosnacek
When (ia->ia_valid & (ATTR_MODE | ATTR_UID | ATTR_GID)) is zero, then the SELinux implementation of the locked_down hook might report a denial even though the operation would actually be allowed. To fix this, make sure that security_locked_down() is called only when the return value will be taken into account (i.e. when changing one of the problematic attributes). Note: this was introduced by commit 5496197f9b08 ("debugfs: Restrict debugfs when the kernel is locked down"), but it didn't matter at that time, as the SELinux support came in later.

2021-01-24fs: make helpers idmap mount awareChristian Brauner
Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all relevant helpers in earlier patches. As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

With this option we can have same configuration for system with need of debugfs and a way to turn it off.

It is controlled by a configurable default value that can be override with a kernel command line parameter. (debugfs=) It can be on or off, but also internally on but not seen from user-space. This no-mount mode do not register a debugfs as filesystem, but client can register their parts in the internal structures. This data can be readed with a debugger or saved with a crashkernel.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security Pull kernel lockdown mode from James Morris: "This is the latest iteration of the kernel lockdown patchset, from Matthew Garrett, David Howells and others. From the original description: This patchset introduces an optional kernel lockdown feature, intended to strengthen the boundary between UID 0 and the kernel. When enabled, various pieces of kernel functionality are restricted. Applications that rely on low-level access to either hardware or the kernel may cease working as a result - therefore this should not be enabled without appropriate evaluation beforehand. The majority of mainstream distributions have been carrying variants of this patchset for many years now, so there's value in providing a doesn't meet every distribution requirement, but gets us much closer to not requiring external patches. There are two major changes since this was last proposed for mainline: - Separating lockdown from EFI secure boot. Background discussion is covered here: https://lwn.net/Articles/751061/ - Implementation as an LSM, with a default stackable lockdown LSM module. This allows the lockdown feature to be policy-driven, rather than encoding an implicit policy within the mechanism. The new locked_down LSM hook is provided to allow LSMs to make a policy decision around whether kernel functionality that would allow tampering with or examining the runtime state of the kernel should be permitted. The included lockdown LSM provides an implementation with a simple policy intended for general purpose use. This policy provides a coarse level of granularity, controllable via the kernel command line: lockdown={integrity|confidentiality} Enable the kernel lockdown feature. If set to integrity, kernel features that allow userland to modify the running kernel are disabled. If set to confidentiality, kernel features that allow userland to extract confidential information from the kernel are also disabled. This may also be controlled via /sys/kernel/security/lockdown and overriden by kernel configuration. New or existing LSMs may implement finer-grained controls of the lockdown features. Refer to the lockdown_reason documentation in include/linux/security.h for details. The lockdown feature has had signficant design feedback and review across many subsystems. This code has been in linux-next for some weeks, with a few fixes applied along the way.

2019-08-19debugfs: Restrict debugfs when the kernel is locked downDavid Howells
Disallow opening of debugfs files that might be used to muck around when the kernel is locked down as various drivers give raw access to hardware through debugfs. Given the effort of auditing all 2000 or so files and manually fixing each one as necessary, I've chosen to apply a heuristic instead. The following changes are made: (1) chmod and chown are disallowed on debugfs objects (though the root dir can be modified by mount and remount, but I'm not worried about that). (2) When the kernel is locked down, only files with the following criteria are permitted to be opened: - The file must have mode 00444 - The file must not have ioctl methods - The file must not have mmap (3) When the kernel is locked down, files may only be opened for reading. Normal device interaction should be done through configfs, sysfs or a miscdev, not debugfs. Note that this makes it unnecessary to specifically lock down show_dsts(), show_devs() and show_call() in the asus-wmi driver. I would actually prefer to lock down all files by default and have the the files unlocked by the creator. This is tricky to manage correctly, though, as there are 19 creation functions and ~1600 call sites (some of them in loops scanning tables).

When an error happens, debugfs should return an error pointer value, not NULL. This will prevent the totally theoretical error where a debugfs call fails due to lack of memory, returning NULL, and that dentry value is then passed to another debugfs call, which would end up succeeding, creating a file at the root of the debugfs tree, but would then be impossible to remove (because you can not remove the directory NULL). So, to make everyone happy, always return errors, this makes the users of debugfs much simpler (they do not have to ever check the return value), and everyone can rest easy.

Now that the SPDX tag is in all debugfs files, that identifies the license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all. This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never needed. No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

2017-11-07debugfs: defer debugfs_fsdata allocation to first usageNicolai Stange
Currently, __debugfs_create_file allocates one struct debugfs_fsdata instance for every file created. However, there are potentially many debugfs file around, most of which are never touched by userspace. Thus, defer the allocations to the first usage, i.e. to the first debugfs_file_get(). A dentry's ->d_fsdata starts out to point to the "real", user provided fops. After a debugfs_fsdata instance has been allocated (and the real fops pointer has been moved over into its ->real_fops member), ->d_fsdata is changed to point to it from then on. The two cases are distinguished by setting BIT(0) for the real fops case. struct debugfs_fsdata's foremost purpose is to track active users and to make debugfs_remove() block until they are done. Since no debugfs_fsdata instance means no active users, make debugfs_remove() return immediately in this case. Take care of possible races between debugfs_file_get() and debugfs_remove(): either debugfs_remove() must see a debugfs_fsdata instance and thus wait for possible active users or debugfs_file_get() must see a dead dentry and return immediately. Make a dentry's ->d_release(), i.e. debugfs_release_dentry(), check whether ->d_fsdata is actually a debugfs_fsdata instance before kfree()ing it. Similarly, make debugfs_real_fops() check whether ->d_fsdata is actually a debugfs_fsdata instance before returning it, otherwise emit a warning. The set of possible error codes returned from debugfs_file_get() has grown from -EIO to -EIO and -ENOMEM. Make open_proxy_open() and full_proxy_open() pass the -ENOMEM onwards to their callers.

2017-11-07debugfs: implement per-file removal protectionNicolai Stange
Since commit 49d200deaa68 ("debugfs: prevent access to removed files' private data"), accesses to a file's private data are protected from concurrent removal by covering all file_operations with a SRCU read section and sychronizing with those before returning from debugfs_remove() by means of synchronize_srcu(). As pointed out by Johannes Berg, there are debugfs files with forever blocking file_operations. Their corresponding SRCU read side sections would block any debugfs_remove() forever as well, even unrelated ones. This results in a livelock. Because a remover can't cancel any indefinite blocking within foreign files, this is a problem. Resolve this by introducing support for more granular protection on a per-file basis. This is implemented by introducing an 'active_users' refcount_t to the per-file struct debugfs_fsdata state. At file creation time, it is set to one and a debugfs_remove() will drop that initial reference. The new debugfs_file_get() and debugfs_file_put(), intended to be used in place of former debugfs_use_file_start() and debugfs_use_file_finish(), increment and decrement it respectively. Once the count drops to zero, debugfs_file_put() will signal a completion which is possibly being waited for from debugfs_remove(). Thus, as long as there is a debugfs_file_get() not yet matched by a corresponding debugfs_file_put() around, debugfs_remove() will block. Actual users of debugfs_use_file_start() and -finish() will get converted to the new debugfs_file_get() and debugfs_file_put() by followup patches.

2017-11-07debugfs: add support for more elaborate ->d_fsdataNicolai Stange
Currently, the user provided fops, "real_fops", are stored directly into ->d_fsdata. In order to be able to store more per-file state and thus prepare for more granular file removal protection, wrap the real_fops into a dynamically allocated container struct, debugfs_fsdata. A struct debugfs_fsdata gets allocated at file creation and freed from the newly intoduced ->d_release(). Finally, move the implementation of debugfs_real_fops() out of the public debugfs header such that struct debugfs_fsdata's declaration can be kept private.

take_dentry_name_snapshot() takes a safe snapshot of dentry name; if the name is a short one, it gets copied into caller-supplied structure, otherwise an extra reference to external name is grabbed (those are never modified). In either case the pointer to stable string is stored into the same structure. dentry must be held by the caller of take_dentry_name_snapshot(), but may be freely dropped afterwards - the snapshot will stay until destroyed by release_dentry_name_snapshot(). Intended use: struct name_snapshot s; take_dentry_name_snapshot(&s, dentry); ... access s.name ... release_dentry_name_snapshot(&s); Replaces fsnotify_oldname_...(), gets used in fsnotify to obtain the name to pass down with event.

A lot of these changes result in subtle user visible differences in kernel behavior. I don't expect anything will care but I will revert/fix things immediately if any regressions show up. From Seth Forshee there is a continuation of the work to make the vfs ready for unpriviled mounts. We had thought the previous changes prevented the creation of files outside of s_user_ns of a filesystem, but it turns we missed the O_CREAT path. Ooops. Pavel Tikhomirov and Oleg Nesterov worked together to fix a long standing bug in the implemenation of PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER where only children that are forked after the prctl are considered and not children forked before the prctl. The only known user of this prctl systemd forks all children after the prctl. So no userspace regressions will occur. Holding earlier forked children to the same rules as later forked children creates a semantic that is sane enough to allow checkpoing of processes that use this feature. There is a long delayed change by Nikolay Borisov to limit inotify instances inside a user namespace. Michael Kerrisk extends the API for files used to maniuplate namespaces with two new trivial ioctls to allow discovery of the hierachy and properties of namespaces. Konstantin Khlebnikov with the help of Al Viro adds code that when a network namespace exits purges it's sysctl entries from the dcache. As in some circumstances this could use a lot of memory. Vivek Goyal fixed a bug with stacked filesystems where the permissions on the wrong inode were being checked. I continue previous work on ptracing across exec. Allowing a file to be setuid across exec while being ptraced if the tracer has enough credentials in the user namespace, and if the process has CAP_SETUID in it's own namespace. Proc files for setuid or otherwise undumpable executables are now owned by the root in the user namespace of their mm. Allowing debugging of setuid applications in containers to work better. A bug I introduced with permission checking and automount is now fixed. The big change is to mark the mounts that the kernel initiates as a result of an automount. This allows the permission checks in sget to be safely suppressed for this kind of mount. As the permission check happened when the original filesystem was mounted. Finally a special case in the mount namespace is removed preventing unbounded chains in the mount hash table, and making the semantics simpler which benefits CRIU. The vfs fix along with related work in ima and evm I believe makes us ready to finish developing and merge fully unprivileged mounts of the fuse filesystem. The cleanups of the mount namespace makes discussing how to fix the worst case complexity of umount.

2017-02-02debugfs: add debugfs_lookup()Omar Sandoval
We don't always have easy access to the dentry of a file or directory we created in debugfs. Add a helper which allows us to get a dentry we previously created. The motivation for this change is a problem with blktrace and the blk-mq debugfs entries introduced in 07e4fead45e6 ("blk-mq: create debugfs directory tree"). Namely, in some cases, the directory that blktrace needs to create may already exist, but in other cases, it may not. We _could_ rely on a bunch of implied knowledge to decide whether to create the directory or not, but it's much cleaner on our end to just look it up.

2017-02-02fs: Better permission checking for submountsEric W. Biederman
To support unprivileged users mounting filesystems two permission checks have to be performed: a test to see if the user allowed to create a mount in the mount namespace, and a test to see if the user is allowed to access the specified filesystem. The automount case is special in that mounting the original filesystem grants permission to mount the sub-filesystems, to any user who happens to stumble across the their mountpoint and satisfies the ordinary filesystem permission checks. Attempting to handle the automount case by using override_creds almost works. It preserves the idea that permission to mount the original filesystem is permission to mount the sub-filesystem. Unfortunately using override_creds messes up the filesystems ordinary permission checks. Solve this by being explicit that a mount is a submount by introducing vfs_submount, and using it where appropriate. vfs_submount uses a new mount internal mount flags MS_SUBMOUNT, to let sget and friends know that a mount is a submount so they can take appropriate action. sget and sget_userns are modified to not perform any permission checks on submounts. follow_automount is modified to stop using override_creds as that has proven problemantic. do_mount is modified to always remove the new MS_SUBMOUNT flag so that we know userspace will never by able to specify it. autofs4 is modified to stop using current_real_cred that was put in there to handle the previous version of submount permission checking. cifs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to vfs_submount. debugfs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to trace_automount by adding a new parameter. To make this change easier a new typedef debugfs_automount_t is introduced to capture the type of the debugfs automount function.
