Merge tag 'lsm-pr-20240911' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/lsm
Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:
- Move the LSM framework to static calls
This transitions the vast majority of the LSM callbacks into static
calls. Those callbacks which haven't been converted were left as-is
due to the general ugliness of the changes required to support the
static call conversion; we can revisit those callbacks at a future
date.
- Add the Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE) LSM
This adds a new LSM, Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE). There is
plenty of documentation about IPE in this patches, so I'll refrain
from going into too much detail here, but the basic motivation behind
IPE is to provide a mechanism such that administrators can restrict
execution to only those binaries which come from integrity protected
storage, e.g. a dm-verity protected filesystem. You will notice that
IPE requires additional LSM hooks in the initramfs, dm-verity, and
fs-verity code, with the associated patches carrying ACK/review tags
from the associated maintainers. We couldn't find an obvious
maintainer for the initramfs code, but the IPE patchset has been
widely posted over several years.
Both Deven Bowers and Fan Wu have contributed to IPE's development
over the past several years, with Fan Wu agreeing to serve as the IPE
maintainer moving forward. Once IPE is accepted into your tree, I'll
start working with Fan to ensure he has the necessary accounts, keys,
etc. so that he can start submitting IPE pull requests to you
directly during the next merge window.
- Move the lifecycle management of the LSM blobs to the LSM framework
Management of the LSM blobs (the LSM state buffers attached to
various kernel structs, typically via a void pointer named "security"
or similar) has been mixed, some blobs were allocated/managed by
individual LSMs, others were managed by the LSM framework itself.
Starting with this pull we move management of all the LSM blobs,
minus the XFRM blob, into the framework itself, improving consistency
across LSMs, and reducing the amount of duplicated code across LSMs.
Due to some additional work required to migrate the XFRM blob, it has
been left as a todo item for a later date; from a practical
standpoint this omission should have little impact as only SELinux
provides a XFRM LSM implementation.
- Fix problems with the LSM's handling of F_SETOWN
The LSM hook for the fcntl(F_SETOWN) operation had a couple of
problems: it was racy with itself, and it was disconnected from the
associated DAC related logic in such a way that the LSM state could
be updated in cases where the DAC state would not. We fix both of
these problems by moving the security_file_set_fowner() hook into the
same section of code where the DAC attributes are updated. Not only
does this resolve the DAC/LSM synchronization issue, but as that code
block is protected by a lock, it also resolve the race condition.
- Fix potential problems with the security_inode_free() LSM hook
Due to use of RCU to protect inodes and the placement of the LSM hook
associated with freeing the inode, there is a bit of a challenge when
it comes to managing any LSM state associated with an inode. The VFS
folks are not open to relocating the LSM hook so we have to get
creative when it comes to releasing an inode's LSM state.
Traditionally we have used a single LSM callback within the hook that
is triggered when the inode is "marked for death", but not actually
released due to RCU.
Unfortunately, this causes problems for LSMs which want to take an
action when the inode's associated LSM state is actually released; so
we add an additional LSM callback, inode_free_security_rcu(), that is
called when the inode's LSM state is released in the RCU free
callback.
- Refactor two LSM hooks to better fit the LSM return value patterns
The vast majority of the LSM hooks follow the "return 0 on success,
negative values on failure" pattern, however, there are a small
handful that have unique return value behaviors which has caused
confusion in the past and makes it difficult for the BPF verifier to
properly vet BPF LSM programs. This includes patches to
convert two of these"special" LSM hooks to the common 0/-ERRNO pattern.
- Various cleanups and improvements
A handful of patches to remove redundant code, better leverage the
IS_ERR_OR_NULL() helper, add missing "static" markings, and do some
minor style fixups.

because:
1. The kernel now supports a minimum `rustc` version rather than a
single version.
2. `rustc` links against a range of LLVM revisions, occasionally even
ones without an official release number. Since the availability of
some Rust flags depends on which LLVM it has been linked against,
probing is necessary.

Make it possible to use the Control Flow Integrity (CFI) sanitizer when
Rust is enabled. Enabling CFI with Rust requires that CFI is configured
to normalize integer types so that all integer types of the same size
and signedness are compatible under CFI.
Rust and C use the same LLVM backend for code generation, so Rust KCFI
is compatible with the KCFI used in the kernel for C. In the case of
FineIBT, CFI also depends on -Zpatchable-function-entry for rewriting
the function prologue, so we set that flag for Rust as well. The flag
for FineIBT requires rustc 1.80.0 or later, so include a Kconfig
requirement for that.
Enabling Rust will select CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS because the flag
is required to use Rust with CFI. Using select rather than `depends on`
avoids the case where Rust is not visible in menuconfig due to
CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS not being enabled. One disadvantage of
select is that RUST must `depends on` all of the things that
CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS depends on to avoid invalid configurations.
Alice has been using KCFI on her phone for several months, so it is
reasonably well tested on arm64.

When DEBUG_INFO_DWARF5 is selected, pahole 1.21+ is required to enable
DEBUG_INFO_BTF.
When DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4 or DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT is selected,
DEBUG_INFO_BTF can be enabled without pahole installed, but a build error
will occur in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh:
LD .tmp_vmlinux1
BTF: .tmp_vmlinux1: pahole (pahole) is not available
Failed to generate BTF for vmlinux
Try to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF
We did not guard DEBUG_INFO_BTF by PAHOLE_VERSION when previously
discussed [1].
However, commit 613fe1692377 ("kbuild: Add CONFIG_PAHOLE_VERSION")
added CONFIG_PAHOLE_VERSION after all. Now several CONFIG options, as
well as the combination of DEBUG_INFO_BTF and DEBUG_INFO_DWARF5, are
guarded by PAHOLE_VERSION.
The remaining compile-time check in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh now appears
to be an awkward inconsistency.
This commit adopts Nathan's original work.

In order to create the file at build time, modules.builtin.ranges, that
contains the range of addresses for all built-in modules, there needs to
be a way to identify what code is compiled into modules.
To identify what code is compiled into modules during a kernel build,
one can look for the presence of the -DKBUILD_MODFILE and -DKBUILD_MODNAME
options in the compile command lines. A simple grep in .*.cmd files for
those options is sufficient for this.
Unfortunately, these options are only passed when compiling C source files.
Various modules also include objects built from assembler source, and these
options are not passed in that case.
Adding $(modfile_flags) to modkern_aflags (similar to modkern_cflags), and
adding $(modname_flags) to a_flags (similar to c_flags) makes it possible
to identify which objects are compiled into modules for both C and
assembler source files. While KBUILD_MODFILE is sufficient to generate
the modules ranges data, KBUILD_MODNAME is passed as well for consistency
with the C source code case.

When building the Linux kernel on an aarch64 macOS based host, if we don't
specify a value for ARCH when invoking make, we default to arm and thus
multi_v7_defconfig rather than the expected arm64 and arm64's defconfig.
This is because subarch.include invokes `uname -m` which on MacOS hosts
evaluates to `arm64` but on Linux hosts evaluates to `aarch64`,
This allows us to build ARCH=arm64 natively on macOS (as in ARCH need
not be specified on an aarch64-based system).
Avoid matching arm64 by excluding it from the arm.* sed expression.

Various information about modules is compiled into the info sections.
For that a dedicated .mod.c file is generated by modpost for each module
and then linked into the module.
However most of the information in the .mod.c is the same for all
modules, internal and external.
Split the shared information into a dedicated source file that is
compiled once and then linked into all modules.
This avoids frequent rebuilds for all .mod.c files when using
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO because the local version ends up in .mod.c
through UTS_RELEASE and VERMAGIC_STRING.
The modules are still relinked in this case.
The code is also easier to maintain as it's now in a proper source file
instead of an inline string literal.

Now that we support several Rust versions, introduce
`CONFIG_RUSTC_VERSION` so that it can be used in Kconfig to enable and
disable configuration options based on the `rustc` version.
The approach taken resembles `pahole`'s -- see commit 613fe1692377
("kbuild: Add CONFIG_PAHOLE_VERSION"), i.e. a simple version parsing
without trying to identify several kinds of compilers, since so far
there is only one (`rustc`).
However, unlike `pahole`'s, we also print a zero if executing failed for
any reason, rather than checking if the command is found and executable
(which still leaves things like a file that exists and is executable,
but e.g. is built for another platform [1]). An equivalent approach to
the one here was also submitted for `pahole` [2].

Patch series "scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: improve error reporting and
usability", v2.
This small series improves usability of scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh by
improving the usage text and correctly reporting when modules are built
without debugging symbols.
This patch (of 3):
The find_module() function can fail for two reasons:
* the module was not found
* the module was found but without debugging info
In both cases the user is reported the same error:
WARNING! Modules path isn't set, but is needed to parse this symbol
This is misleading in case the modules path is set correctly.
find_module() is currently implemented as a recursive function based on
global variables in order to check up to 4 different paths. This is not
straightforward to read and even less to modify.
Besides, the debuginfo code at the beginning of find_module() is executed
identically every time the function is entered, i.e. up to 4 times per
each module search due to recursion.
To be able to improve error reporting, first rewrite the find_module()
function to remove recursion. The new version of the function iterates
over all the same (up to 4) paths as before and for each of them does the
same checks as before. At the end of the iteration it is now able to
print an appropriate error message, so that has been moved from the caller
into find_module().
Finally, when the module is found but without debugging info, mention the
two Kconfig variables one needs to set in order to have the needed
debugging symbols.

Recently, I saw a patch[1] on the ext4 mailing list regarding
the correction of a macro definition error. Jan mentioned
that "The bug in the macro is a really nasty trap...".
Because existing compilers are unable to detect
unused parameters in macro definitions. This inspired me
to write a script to check for unused parameters in
macro definitions and to run it.
Surprisingly, the script uncovered numerous issues across
various subsystems, including filesystems, drivers, and sound etc.
Some of these issues involved parameters that were accepted
but never used, for example:
#define XFS_DAENTER_DBS(mp,w) \
(XFS_DA_NODE_MAXDEPTH + (((w) == XFS_DATA_FORK) ? 2 : 0))
where mp was unused.
While others are actual bugs.
For example:
#define HAL_SEQ_WCSS_UMAC_CE0_SRC_REG(x) \
(ab->hw_params.regs->hal_seq_wcss_umac_ce0_src_reg)
#define HAL_SEQ_WCSS_UMAC_CE0_DST_REG(x) \
(ab->hw_params.regs->hal_seq_wcss_umac_ce0_dst_reg)
#define HAL_SEQ_WCSS_UMAC_CE1_SRC_REG(x) \
(ab->hw_params.regs->hal_seq_wcss_umac_ce1_src_reg)
#define HAL_SEQ_WCSS_UMAC_CE1_DST_REG(x) \
(ab->hw_params.regs->hal_seq_wcss_umac_ce1_dst_reg)
where x was entirely unused, and instead, a local variable ab was used.
I have submitted patches[2-5] to fix some of these issues,
but due to the large number, many still remain unaddressed.
I believe that the kernel and matainers would benefit from
this script to check for unused parameters in macro definitions.
It should be noted that it may cause some false positives
in conditional compilation scenarios, such as
#ifdef DEBUG
static int debug(arg) {};
#else
#define debug(arg)
#endif
So the caller needs to manually verify whether it is a true
issue. But this should be fine, because Maintainers should only
need to review their own subsystems, which typically results
in only a few reports.

Use LZMA2 options that match the arch-specific alignment of instructions.
This change reduces compressed kernel size 0-2 % depending on the arch.
On 1-byte-aligned x86 it makes no difference and on 4-byte-aligned archs
it helps the most.
Use the ARM-Thumb filter for ARM-Thumb2 kernels. This reduces compressed
kernel size about 5 %.[1] Previously such kernels were compressed using
the ARM filter which didn't do anything useful with ARM-Thumb2 code.
Add BCJ filter support for ARM64 and RISC-V. Compared to unfiltered XZ or
plain LZMA, the compressed kernel size is reduced about 5 % on ARM64 and 7
% on RISC-V. A new enough version of the xz tool is required: 5.4.0 for
ARM64 and 5.6.0 for RISC-V. With an old xz version, a message is printed
to standard error and the kernel is compressed without the filter.
Update lib/decompress_unxz.c to match the changes to xz_wrap.sh.
Update the CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ help text in init/Kconfig:
- Add the RISC-V and ARM64 filters.
- Clarify that the PowerPC filter is for big endian only.
- Omit IA-64.

This only affects kernel image compression, not any other xz usage.
Desktop kernels on x86-64 are already around 60 MiB. Using a dictionary
larger than 32 MiB should have no downsides nowadays as anyone building
the kernel should have plenty of RAM. 128 MiB dictionary needs 1346 MiB
of RAM with xz versions 5.0.x - 5.6.x in single-threaded mode. On archs
that use xz_wrap.sh, kernel decompression is done in single-call mode so a
larger dictionary doesn't affect boot-time memory requirements.
xz >= 5.6.0 uses multithreaded mode by default which compresses slightly
worse than single-threaded mode. Kernel compression rarely used more than
one thread anyway because with 32 MiB dictionary size the default block
size was 96 MiB in multithreaded mode. So only a single thread was used
anyway unless the kernel was over 96 MiB.
Comparison to CONFIG_KERNEL_LZMA: It uses "lzma -9" which mapped to 32 MiB
dictionary in LZMA Utils 4.32.7 (the final release in 2008). Nowadays the
lzma tool on most systems is from XZ Utils where -9 maps to 64 MiB
dictionary. So using a 32 MiB dictionary with CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ may have
compressed big kernels slightly worse than the old LZMA option.
Comparison to CONFIG_KERNEL_ZSTD: zstd uses 128 MiB dictionary.

Richard reports that since 772dd0342727c ("mm: enumerate all gfp flags"),
gfp-translate is broken, as the bit numbers are implicit, leaving the
shell script unable to extract them. Even more, some bits are now at a
variable location, making it double extra hard to parse using a simple
shell script.
Use a brute-force approach to the problem by generating a small C stub
that will use the enum to dump the interesting bits.
As an added bonus, we are now able to identify invalid bits for a given
configuration. As an added drawback, we cannot parse include files that
predate this change anymore. Tough luck.
