2020-03-05selinux: avtab_init() and cond_policydb_init() return voidPaul Moore1-1/+1
The avtab_init() and cond_policydb_init() functions always return zero so mark them as returning void and update the callers not to check for a return value.

2018-03-02selinux: wrap global selinux stateStephen Smalley1-3/+0
Define a selinux state structure (struct selinux_state) for global SELinux state and pass it explicitly to all security server functions. The public portion of the structure contains state that is used throughout the SELinux code, such as the enforcing mode. The structure also contains a pointer to a selinux_ss structure whose definition is private to the security server and contains security server specific state such as the policy database and SID table. This change should have no effect on SELinux behavior or APIs (userspace or LSM). It merely wraps SELinux state and passes it explicitly as needed.

2015-07-13selinux: extended permissions for ioctlsJeff Vander Stoep1-1/+32
Add extended permissions logic to selinux. Extended permissions provides additional permissions in 256 bit increments. Extend the generic ioctl permission check to use the extended permissions for per-command filtering. Source/target/class sets including the ioctl permission may additionally include a set of commands. Example: allowxperm <source> <target>:<class> ioctl unpriv_app_socket_cmds auditallowxperm <source> <target>:<class> ioctl priv_gpu_cmds Where unpriv_app_socket_cmds and priv_gpu_cmds are macros representing commonly granted sets of ioctl commands. When ioctl commands are omitted only the permissions are checked. This feature is intended to provide finer granularity for the ioctl permission that may be too imprecise. For example, the same driver may use ioctls to provide important and benign functionality such as driver version or socket type as well as dangerous capabilities such as debugging features, read/write/execute to physical memory or access to sensitive data. Per-command filtering provides a mechanism to reduce the attack surface of the kernel, and limit applications to the subset of commands required. The format of the policy binary has been modified to include ioctl commands, and the policy version number has been incremented to POLICYDB_VERSION_XPERMS_IOCTL=30 to account for the format change. The extended permissions logic is deliberately generic to allow components to be reused e.g. netlink filters Signed-off-by: Jeff Vander Stoep <jeffv@google.com> Acked-by: Nick Kralevich <nnk@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com>
2015-04-07selinux: increase avtab max bucketsStephen Smalley1-1/+1
Now that we can safely increase the avtab max buckets without triggering high order allocations and have a hash function that will make better use of the larger number of buckets, increase the max buckets to 2^16. Original: 101421 entries and 2048/2048 buckets used, longest chain length 374 With new hash function: 101421 entries and 2048/2048 buckets used, longest chain length 81 With increased max buckets: 101421 entries and 31078/32768 buckets used, longest chain length 12 Signed-off-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com>
2015-04-07selinux: Use a better hash function for avtabJohn Brooks1-1/+1
This function, based on murmurhash3, has much better distribution than the original. Using the current default of 2048 buckets, there are many fewer collisions: Before: 101421 entries and 2048/2048 buckets used, longest chain length 374 After: 101421 entries and 2048/2048 buckets used, longest chain length 81 The difference becomes much more significant when buckets are increased. A naive attempt to expand the current function to larger outputs doesn't yield any significant improvement; so this function is a prerequisite for increasing the bucket size. sds: Adapted from the original patches for libsepol to the kernel.

2015-04-07selinux: convert avtab hash table to flex_arrayStephen Smalley1-1/+3
Previously we shrank the avtab max hash buckets to avoid high order memory allocations, but this causes avtab lookups to degenerate to very long linear searches for the Fedora policy. Convert to using a flex_array instead so that we can increase the buckets without such limitations. This change does not alter the max hash buckets; that is left to a separate follow-on change.

2011-02-01SELinux: Use dentry name in new object labelingEric Paris1-11/+11
Currently SELinux has rules which label new objects according to 3 criteria. The label of the process creating the object, the label of the parent directory, and the type of object (reg, dir, char, block, etc.) This patch adds a 4th criteria, the dentry name, thus we can distinguish between creating a file in an etc_t directory called shadow and one called motd. There is no file globbing, regex parsing, or anything mystical. Either the policy exactly (strcmp) matches the dentry name of the object or it doesn't. This patch has no changes from today if policy does not implement the new rules. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2010-10-21SELinux: allow userspace to read policy back out of the kernelEric Paris1-0/+2
There is interest in being able to see what the actual policy is that was loaded into the kernel. The patch creates a new selinuxfs file /selinux/policy which can be read by userspace. The actual policy that is loaded into the kernel will be written back out to userspace. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
2010-10-21SELinux: drop useless (and incorrect) AVTAB_MAX_SIZEEric Paris1-1/+0
AVTAB_MAX_SIZE was a define which was supposed to be used in userspace to define a maximally sized avtab when userspace wasn't sure how big of a table it needed. It doesn't make sense in the kernel since we always know our table sizes. The only place it is used we have a more appropiately named define called AVTAB_MAX_HASH_BUCKETS, use that instead.

2007-10-17SELinux: tune avtab to reduce memory usageYuichi Nakamura1-5/+11
This patch reduces memory usage of SELinux by tuning avtab. Number of hash slots in avtab was 32768. Unused slots used memory when number of rules is fewer. This patch decides number of hash slots dynamically based on number of rules. (chain length)^2 is also printed out in avtab_hash_eval to see standard deviation of avtab hash table.

2005-09-05[PATCH] selinux: Reduce memory use by avtabStephen Smalley1-19/+18
This patch improves memory use by SELinux by both reducing the avtab node size and reducing the number of avtab nodes. The memory savings are substantial, e.g. on a 64-bit system after boot, James Morris reported the following data for the targeted and strict policies: #objs objsize kernmem Targeted: Before: 237888 40 9.1MB After: 19968 24 468KB Strict: Before: 571680 40 21.81MB After: 221052 24 5.06MB The improvement in memory use comes at a cost in the speed of security server computations of access vectors, but these computations are only required on AVC cache misses, and performance measurements by James Morris using a number of benchmarks have shown that the change does not cause any significant degradation. Note that a rebuilt policy via an updated policy toolchain (libsepol/checkpolicy) is required in order to gain the full benefits of this patch, although some memory savings benefits are immediately applied even to older policies (in particular, the reduction in avtab node size). Sources for the updated toolchain are presently available from the sourceforge CVS tree (http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=21266), and tarballs are available from http://www.flux.utah.edu/~sds.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
