From 6140be90ec70c39fa844741ca3cc807dd0866394 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Göttsche Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2024 18:20:14 +0200 Subject: fs/xattr: add *at family syscalls MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 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//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 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240426162042.191916-1-cgoettsche@seltendoof.de Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann Reviewed-by: Christian Brauner 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 Signed-off-by: Al Viro --- include/uapi/linux/xattr.h | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/uapi/linux') diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/xattr.h b/include/uapi/linux/xattr.h index 9463db2dfa9d..9854f9cff3c6 100644 --- a/include/uapi/linux/xattr.h +++ b/include/uapi/linux/xattr.h @@ -11,6 +11,7 @@ */ #include +#include #ifndef _UAPI_LINUX_XATTR_H #define _UAPI_LINUX_XATTR_H @@ -20,6 +21,12 @@ #define XATTR_CREATE 0x1 /* set value, fail if attr already exists */ #define XATTR_REPLACE 0x2 /* set value, fail if attr does not exist */ + +struct xattr_args { + __aligned_u64 __user value; + __u32 size; + __u32 flags; +}; #endif /* Namespaces */ -- cgit v1.2.3
