* Fix some typos, incomplete or confusing phrases.
* Split paragraphs where appropriate.
* List the same error code multiple times,
  if it has multiple possible causes.
* Bring wording closer to the man page wording,
  which has undergone more thorough review
  (esp. for LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_WRITE_FILE).
* Small semantic clarifications
  * Call the ephemeral port range "ephemeral"
  * Clarify reasons for EFAULT in landlock_add_rule()
  * Clarify @rule_type doc for landlock_add_rule()

This is a collection of small fixes which I collected when preparing the
corresponding man pages [1].

<title>landlock: Add IOCTL access right for character and block devices</title>
<updated>2024-05-13T04:58:29+00:00</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:b25f7415eb4108aa32dd3e74289d7f997090708f</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduces the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_IOCTL_DEV right
and increments the Landlock ABI version to 5.

This access right applies to device-custom IOCTL commands
when they are invoked on block or character device files.

Like the truncate right, this right is associated with a file
descriptor at the time of open(2), and gets respected even when the
file descriptor is used outside of the thread which it was originally
opened in.

Therefore, a newly enabled Landlock policy does not apply to file
descriptors which are already open.

If the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_IOCTL_DEV right is handled, only a small
number of safe IOCTL commands will be permitted on newly opened device
files.  These include FIOCLEX, FIONCLEX, FIONBIO and FIOASYNC, as well
as other IOCTL commands for regular files which are implemented in
fs/ioctl.c.

Noteworthy scenarios which require special attention:

TTY devices are often passed into a process from the parent process,
and so a newly enabled Landlock policy does not retroactively apply to
them automatically.  In the past, TTY devices have often supported
IOCTL commands like TIOCSTI and some TIOCLINUX subcommands, which were
letting callers control the TTY input buffer (and simulate
keypresses).  This should be restricted to CAP_SYS_ADMIN programs on
modern kernels though.

Known limitations:

The LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_IOCTL_DEV access right is a coarse-grained
control over IOCTL commands.

Landlock users may use path-based restrictions in combination with
their knowledge about the file system layout to control what IOCTLs
can be done.

Because sandboxing can be used as an opportunistic security measure,
user space may not log unsupported features.  Let the system
administrator know if an application tries to use Landlock but failed
because it isn't enabled at boot time.  This may be caused by boot
loader configurations with outdated "lsm" kernel's command-line
parameter.

<title>landlock: Support network rules with TCP bind and connect</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fff69fb03dde1dfa348cfdb74b13287dabe42c25</id>
<content type='text'>
Add network rules support in the ruleset management helpers and the
landlock_create_ruleset() syscall. Extend user space API to support
network actions:
* Add new network access rights: LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_BIND_TCP and
  LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_CONNECT_TCP.
* Add a new network rule type: LANDLOCK_RULE_NET_PORT tied to struct
  landlock_net_port_attr. The allowed_access field contains the network
  access rights, and the port field contains the port value according to
  the controlled protocol. This field can take up to a 64-bit value
  but the maximum value depends on the related protocol (e.g. 16-bit
  value for TCP). Network port is in host endianness [1].
* Add a new handled_access_net field to struct landlock_ruleset_attr
  that contains network access rights.
* Increment the Landlock ABI version to 4.

Implement socket_bind() and socket_connect() LSM hooks, which enable
to control TCP socket binding and connection to specific ports.

Expand access_masks_t from u16 to u32 to be able to store network access
rights alongside filesystem access rights for rulesets' handled access
rights.

Access rights are not tied to socket file descriptors but checked at
bind() or connect() call time against the caller's Landlock domain. For
the filesystem, a file descriptor is a direct access to a file/data.
However, for network sockets, we cannot identify for which data or peer
a newly created socket will give access to. Indeed, we need to wait for
a connect or bind request to identify the use case for this socket.
Likewise a directory file descriptor may enable to open another file
(i.e. a new data item), but this opening is also restricted by the
caller's domain, not the file descriptor's access rights [2].

<title>landlock: Allow FS topology changes for domains without such rule type</title>

<content type='text'>
Allow mount point and root directory changes when there is no filesystem
rule tied to the current Landlock domain. This doesn't change anything
for now because a domain must have at least a (filesystem) rule, but
this will change when other rule types will come. For instance, a domain
only restricting the network should have no impact on filesystem
restrictions.

Add a new get_current_fs_domain() helper to quickly check filesystem
rule existence for all filesystem LSM hooks.

Remove unnecessary inlining.

<title>landlock: Support file truncation</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b9f5ce27c8f8be409d6afca9797a2da01e5cebbb</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE flag for file truncation.

This flag hooks into the path_truncate, file_truncate and
file_alloc_security LSM hooks and covers file truncation using
truncate(2), ftruncate(2), open(2) with O_TRUNC, as well as creat().

This change also increments the Landlock ABI version, updates
corresponding selftests, and updates code documentation to document
the flag.

In security/security.c, allocate security blobs at pointer-aligned
offsets. This fixes the problem where one LSM's security blob can
shift another LSM's security blob to an unaligned address (reported
by Nathan Chancellor).

The following operations are restricted:

open(2): requires the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE right if a file gets
implicitly truncated as part of the open() (e.g. using O_TRUNC).

Notable special cases:
* open(..., O_RDONLY|O_TRUNC) can truncate files as well in Linux
* open() with O_TRUNC does *not* need the TRUNCATE right when it
  creates a new file.

truncate(2) (on a path): requires the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE
right.

ftruncate(2) (on a file): requires that the file had the TRUNCATE
right when it was previously opened. File descriptors acquired by
other means than open(2) (e.g. memfd_create(2)) continue to support
truncation with ftruncate(2).

It seems that all code should use double backquotes, which is also used
to convert "%" defines.  Let's use an homogeneous style and remove all
use of simple backquotes (which should only be used for emphasis).

<title>landlock: Add support for file reparenting with LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b91c3e4ea756b12b7d992529226edce1cfd854d7</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER access right to enable policy writers
to allow sandboxed processes to link and rename files from and to a
specific set of file hierarchies.  This access right should be composed
with LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_* for the destination of a link or rename,
and with LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REMOVE_* for a source of a rename.  This
lift a Landlock limitation that always denied changing the parent of an
inode.

Renaming or linking to the same directory is still always allowed,
whatever LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER is used or not, because it is not
considered a threat to user data.

However, creating multiple links or renaming to a different parent
directory may lead to privilege escalations if not handled properly.
Indeed, we must be sure that the source doesn't gain more privileges by
being accessible from the destination.  This is handled by making sure
that the source hierarchy (including the referenced file or directory
itself) restricts at least as much the destination hierarchy.  If it is
not the case, an EXDEV error is returned, making it potentially possible
for user space to copy the file hierarchy instead of moving or linking
it.

Instead of creating different access rights for the source and the
destination, we choose to make it simple and consistent for users.
Indeed, considering the previous constraint, it would be weird to
require such destination access right to be also granted to the source
(to make it a superset).  Moreover, RENAME_EXCHANGE would also add to
the confusion because of paths being both a source and a destination.

See the provided documentation for additional details.

New tests are provided with a following commit.
