Christian Göttsche 6140be90ec fs/xattr: add *at family syscalls ... Add the four syscalls setxattrat(), getxattrat(), listxattrat() and removexattrat(). Those can be used to operate on extended attributes, especially security related ones, either relative to a pinned directory or on a file descriptor without read access, avoiding a /proc/<pid>/fd/<fd> detour, requiring a mounted procfs. One use case will be setfiles(8) setting SELinux file contexts ("security.selinux") without race conditions and without a file descriptor opened with read access requiring SELinux read permission. Use the do_{name}at() pattern from fs/open.c. Pass the value of the extended attribute, its length, and for setxattrat(2) the command (XATTR_CREATE or XATTR_REPLACE) via an added struct xattr_args to not exceed six syscall arguments and not merging the AT_* and XATTR_* flags. [AV: fixes by Christian Brauner folded in, the entire thing rebased on top of {filename,file}_...xattr() primitives, treatment of empty pathnames regularized. As the result, AT_EMPTY_PATH+NULL handling is cheap, so f...(2) can use it] Signed-off-by: Christian Göttsche <cgzones@googlemail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240426162042.191916-1-cgoettsche@seltendoof.de Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Reviewed-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> CC: x86@kernel.org CC: linux-alpha@vger.kernel.org CC: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org CC: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org CC: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org CC: linux-m68k@lists.linux-m68k.org CC: linux-mips@vger.kernel.org CC: linux-parisc@vger.kernel.org CC: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org CC: linux-s390@vger.kernel.org CC: linux-sh@vger.kernel.org CC: sparclinux@vger.kernel.org CC: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org CC: audit@vger.kernel.org CC: linux-arch@vger.kernel.org CC: linux-api@vger.kernel.org CC: linux-security-module@vger.kernel.org CC: selinux@vger.kernel.org [brauner: slight tweaks] Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>		2024-11-06 12:59:44 -05:00
