[PATCH v4 19/19] LSM: Blob sharing support for S.A.R.A and LandLock

From: Casey Schaufler
Date: Fri Sep 21 2018 - 20:20:29 EST


Two proposed security modules require the ability to
share security blobs with existing "major" security modules.
These modules, S.A.R.A and LandLock, provide significantly
different services than SELinux, Smack or AppArmor. Using
either in conjunction with the existing modules is quite
reasonable. S.A.R.A requires access to the cred, inode and
task blobs, while LandLock uses the cred, file, inode and
ipc blobs.

The use of the cred, file, inode, ipc and task blobs has been
abstracted in preceding patches in the series. This
patch teaches the affected security modules how to access
the part of the blob set aside for their use in the case
where blobs are shared. The configuration option
CONFIG_SECURITY_STACKING identifies systems where the
blobs may be shared.

The mechanism for selecting which security modules are
active has been changed to allow non-conflicting "major"
security modules to be used together. At this time the
TOMOYO module can safely be used with any of the others.
The two new modules would be non-conflicting as well.

+Security modules that do not use the security data blobs maintained
+by the LSM infrastructure are considered "minor" modules. These may be
+included at compile time and stacked explicitly. Security modules that
+use the LSM maintained security blobs are considered "major" modules.
+These may only be stacked if the CONFIG_LSM_STACKED configuration
+option is used. If this is chosen all of the security modules selected
+will be used.

A list of the active security modules can be found by reading
``/sys/kernel/security/lsm``. This is a comma separated list, and
