treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

kernel.h: drop hex.h and update all hex.h users

2026-01-21T03:44:19+00:00

Remove from and update all users/callers of hex.h interfaces to directly #include as part of the process of putting kernel.h on a diet. Removing hex.h from kernel.h means that 36K C source files don't have to pay the price of parsing hex.h for the roughly 120 C source files that need it. This change has been build-tested with allmodconfig on most ARCHes. Also, all users/callers of in the entire source tree have been updated if needed (if not already #included).

lsm: use lsm_prop in security_current_getsecid

2024-10-11T18:34:14+00:00

Change the security_current_getsecid_subj() and security_task_getsecid_obj() interfaces to fill in a lsm_prop structure instead of a u32 secid. Audit interfaces will need to collect all possible security data for possible reporting.

ima: Move file-change detection variables into new structure

2024-04-09T21:14:57+00:00

Move all the variables used for file change detection into a structure that can be used by IMA and EVM. Implement an inline function for storing the identification of an inode and one for detecting changes to an inode based on this new structure.

integrity: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings

2024-04-08T11:55:48+00:00

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end is coming in GCC-14, and we are getting ready to enable it globally. There is currently an object (`hdr)` in `struct ima_max_digest_data` that contains a flexible structure (`struct ima_digest_data`): struct ima_max_digest_data { struct ima_digest_data hdr; u8 digest[HASH_MAX_DIGESTSIZE]; } __packed; So, in order to avoid ending up with a flexible-array member in the middle of a struct, we use the `__struct_group()` helper to separate the flexible array from the rest of the members in the flexible structure: struct ima_digest_data { __struct_group(ima_digest_data_hdr, hdr, __packed, ... the rest of the members ); u8 digest[]; } __packed; And similarly for `struct evm_ima_xattr_data`. With the change described above, we can now declare an object of the type of the tagged `struct ima_digest_data_hdr`, without embedding the flexible array in the middle of another struct: struct ima_max_digest_data { struct ima_digest_data_hdr hdr; u8 digest[HASH_MAX_DIGESTSIZE]; } __packed; And similarly for `struct evm_digest` and `struct evm_xattr`. We also use `container_of()` whenever we need to retrieve a pointer to the flexible structure. So, with these changes, fix the following warnings: security/integrity/evm/evm.h:64:32: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] security/integrity/evm/../integrity.h:40:35: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] security/integrity/evm/../integrity.h:68:32: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] security/integrity/ima/../integrity.h:40:35: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] security/integrity/ima/../integrity.h:68:32: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] security/integrity/integrity.h:40:35: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] security/integrity/integrity.h:68:32: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] security/integrity/platform_certs/../integrity.h:40:35: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] security/integrity/platform_certs/../integrity.h:68:32: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/202 Signed-off-by: Gustavo A.

ima: Fix use-after-free on a dentry's dname.name

2024-04-08T11:55:47+00:00

->d_name.name can change on rename and the earlier value can be freed; there are conditions sufficient to stabilize it (->d_lock on dentry, ->d_lock on its parent, ->i_rwsem exclusive on the parent's inode, rename_lock), but none of those are met at any of the sites. Take a stable snapshot of the name instead. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240202182732.GE2087318@ZenIV/ Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Stefan Berger Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar

ima: Make it independent from 'integrity' LSM

2024-02-16T04:43:47+00:00

Make the 'ima' LSM independent from the 'integrity' LSM by introducing IMA own integrity metadata (ima_iint_cache structure, with IMA-specific fields from the integrity_iint_cache structure), and by managing it directly from the 'ima' LSM. Create ima_iint.c and introduce the same integrity metadata management functions found in iint.c (renamed with ima_). However, instead of putting metadata in an rbtree, reserve space from IMA in the inode security blob for a pointer, and introduce the ima_inode_set_iint()/ima_inode_get_iint() primitives to store/retrieve that pointer. This improves search time from logarithmic to constant. Consequently, don't include the inode pointer as field in the ima_iint_cache structure, since the association with the inode is clear. Since the inode field is missing in ima_iint_cache, pass the extra inode parameter to ima_get_verity_digest(). Prefer storing the pointer instead of the entire ima_iint_cache structure, to avoid too much memory pressure. Use the same mechanism as before, a cache named ima_iint_cache (renamed from iint_cache), to quickly allocate a new ima_iint_cache structure when requested by the IMA policy. Create the new ima_iint_cache in ima_iintcache_init(), called by init_ima_lsm(), during the initialization of the 'ima' LSM. And, register ima_inode_free_security() to free the ima_iint_cache structure, if exists. Replace integrity_iint_cache with ima_iint_cache in various places of the IMA code. Also, replace integrity_inode_get() and integrity_iint_find(), respectively with ima_inode_get() and ima_iint_find(). Finally, move the remaining IMA-specific flags to security/integrity/ima/ima.h, since they are now unnecessary in the common integrity layer.

ima: detect changes to the backing overlay file

2023-10-31T12:22:36+00:00

Commit 18b44bc5a672 ("ovl: Always reevaluate the file signature for IMA") forced signature re-evaulation on every file access. Instead of always re-evaluating the file's integrity, detect a change to the backing file, by comparing the cached file metadata with the backing file's metadata. Verifying just the i_version has not changed is insufficient. In addition save and compare the i_ino and s_dev as well.

fsverity: rework fsverity_get_digest() again

2023-06-14T17:41:07+00:00

Address several issues with the calling convention and documentation of fsverity_get_digest(): - Make it provide the hash algorithm as either a FS_VERITY_HASH_ALG_* value or HASH_ALGO_* value, at the caller's choice, rather than only a HASH_ALGO_* value as it did before. This allows callers to work with the fsverity native algorithm numbers if they want to. HASH_ALGO_* is what IMA uses, but other users (e.g. overlayfs) should use FS_VERITY_HASH_ALG_* to match fsverity-utils and the fsverity UAPI. - Make it return the digest size so that it doesn't need to be looked up separately. Use the return value for this, since 0 works nicely for the "file doesn't have fsverity enabled" case. This also makes it clear that no other errors are possible. - Rename the 'digest' parameter to 'raw_digest' and clearly document that it is only useful in combination with the algorithm ID. This hopefully clears up a point of confusion. - Export it to modules, since overlayfs will need it for checking the fsverity digests of lowerdata files (https://lore.kernel.org/r/dd294a44e8f401e6b5140029d8355f88748cd8fd.1686565330.git.alexl@redhat.com).
