<title>KEYS: Add payload preparsing opportunity prior to key instantiate or update</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cf7f601c067994f371ba77721d1e45fce61a4569</id>
<content type='text'>
Give the key type the opportunity to preparse the payload prior to the
instantiation and update routines being called.  This is done with the
provision of two new key type operations:

	int (*preparse)(struct key_preparsed_payload *prep);
	void (*free_preparse)(struct key_preparsed_payload *prep);

If the first operation is present, then it is called before key creation (in
the add/update case) or before the key semaphore is taken (in the update and
instantiate cases).  The second operation is called to clean up if the first
was called.

preparse() is given the opportunity to fill in the following structure:

	struct key_preparsed_payload {
		char		*description;
		void		*type_data[2];
		void		*payload;
		const void	*data;
		size_t		datalen;
		size_t		quotalen;
	};

Before the preparser is called, the first three fields will have been cleared,
the payload pointer and size will be stored in data and datalen and the default
quota size from the key_type struct will be stored into quotalen.

The preparser may parse the payload in any way it likes and may store data in
the type_data[] and payload fields for use by the instantiate() and update()
ops.

The preparser may also propose a description for the key by attaching it as a
string to the description field.  This can be used by passing a NULL or ""
description to the add_key() system call or the key_create_or_update()
function.  This cannot work with request_key() as that required the description
to tell the upcall about the key to be created.

This, for example permits keys that store PGP public keys to generate their own
name from the user ID and public key fingerprint in the key.

The instantiate() and update() operations are then modified to look like this:

	int (*instantiate)(struct key *key, struct key_preparsed_payload *prep);
	int (*update)(struct key *key, struct key_preparsed_payload *prep);

and the new payload data is passed in *prep, whether or not it was preparsed.

Use keyring_alloc() to create special keyrings now that it has a permissions
parameter rather than using key_alloc() + key_instantiate_and_link().

Also document and export keyring_alloc() so that modules can use it too.

<title>KEYS: Reduce initial permissions on keys</title>

<id>urn:sha1:96b5c8fea6c0861621051290d705ec2e971963f1</id>
<content type='text'>
Reduce the initial permissions on new keys to grant the possessor everything,
view permission only to the user (so the keys can be seen in /proc/keys) and
nothing else.

This gives the creator a chance to adjust the permissions mask before other
processes can access the new key or create a link to it.

To aid with this, keyring_alloc() now takes a permission argument rather than
setting the permissions itself.

The following permissions are now set:

 (1) The user and user-session keyrings grant the user that owns them full
     permissions and grant a possessor everything bar SETATTR.

 (2) The process and thread keyrings grant the possessor full permissions but
     only grant the user VIEW.  This permits the user to see them in
     /proc/keys, but not to do anything with them.

 (3) Anonymous session keyrings grant the possessor full permissions, but only
     grant the user VIEW and READ.  This means that the user can see them in
     /proc/keys and can list them, but nothing else.  Possibly READ shouldn't
     be provided either.

 (4) Named session keyrings grant everything an anonymous session keyring does,
     plus they grant the user LINK permission.  The whole point of named
     session keyrings is that others can also subscribe to them.  Possibly this
     should be a separate permission to LINK.

 (5) The temporary session keyring created by call_sbin_request_key() gets the
     same permissions as an anonymous session keyring.

 (6) Keys created by add_key() get VIEW, SEARCH, LINK and SETATTR for the
     possessor, plus READ and/or WRITE if the key type supports them.  The used
     only gets VIEW now.

 (7) Keys created by request_key() now get the same as those created by
     add_key().

- Replace key_user -&gt;user_ns equality checks with kuid_has_mapping checks.
- Use from_kuid to generate key descriptions
- Use kuid_t and kgid_t and the associated helpers instead of uid_t and gid_t
- Avoid potential problems with file descriptor passing by displaying
  keys in the user namespace of the opener of key status proc files.

<id>urn:sha1:423b9788023263364ea5de04189f02bd9b6a12db</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix some sparse warnings in the keyrings code:

 (1) compat_keyctl_instantiate_key_iov() should be static.

 (2) There were a couple of places where a pointer was being compared against
     integer 0 rather than NULL.

 (3) keyctl_instantiate_key_common() should not take a __user-labelled iovec
     pointer as the caller must have copied the iovec to kernel space.

 (4) __key_link_begin() takes and __key_link_end() releases
     keyring_serialise_link_sem under some circumstances and so this should be
     declared.

     Note that adding __acquires() and __releases() for this doesn't help cure
     the warnings messages - something only commenting out both helps.

<id>urn:sha1:fd75815f727f157a05f4c96b5294a4617c0557da</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for invalidating a key - which renders it immediately invisible to
further searches and causes the garbage collector to immediately wake up,
remove it from keyrings and then destroy it when it's no longer referenced.

It's better not to do this with keyctl_revoke() as that marks the key to start
returning -EKEYREVOKED to searches when what is actually desired is to have the
key refetched.

To invalidate a key the caller must be granted SEARCH permission by the key.
This may be too strict.  It may be better to also permit invalidation if the
caller has any of READ, WRITE or SETATTR permission.

The primary use for this is to evict keys that are cached in special keyrings,
such as the DNS resolver or an ID mapper.
