[PATCH 3/7 v21] LSM: Remove a comment from security.h

[Casey Schaufler]

Subject: [PATCH 3/7 v21] LSM: Remove a comment from security.h

Remove the large comment describing the content of the
security_operations structure from security.h. This
wasn't done in the previous (2/7) patch because it
would have exceeded the mail list size limits.

-/**
- * struct security_operations - main security structure
- *
- * Security module identifier.
- *
- * @name:
- *	A string that acts as a unique identifier for the LSM with max number
- *	of characters = SECURITY_NAME_MAX.
- *
- * Security hooks for program execution operations.
- *
- * @bprm_set_creds:
- *	Save security information in the bprm->security field, typically based
- *	on information about the bprm->file, for later use by the apply_creds
- *	hook.  This hook may also optionally check permissions (e.g. for
- *	transitions between security domains).
- *	This hook may be called multiple times during a single execve, e.g. for
- *	interpreters.  The hook can tell whether it has already been called by
- *	checking to see if @bprm->security is non-NULL.  If so, then the hook
- *	may decide either to retain the security information saved earlier or
- *	to replace it.
- *	@bprm contains the linux_binprm structure.
- *	Return 0 if the hook is successful and permission is granted.
- * @bprm_check_security:
- *	This hook mediates the point when a search for a binary handler will
- *	begin.  It allows a check the @bprm->security value which is set in the
- *	preceding set_creds call.  The primary difference from set_creds is
- *	that the argv list and envp list are reliably available in @bprm.  This
- *	hook may be called multiple times during a single execve; and in each
- *	pass set_creds is called first.
- *	@bprm contains the linux_binprm structure.
- *	Return 0 if the hook is successful and permission is granted.
- * @bprm_committing_creds:
- *	Prepare to install the new security attributes of a process being
- *	transformed by an execve operation, based on the old credentials
- *	pointed to by @current->cred and the information set in @bprm->cred by
- *	the bprm_set_creds hook.  @bprm points to the linux_binprm structure.
- *	This hook is a good place to perform state changes on the process such
- *	as closing open file descriptors to which access will no longer be
- *	granted when the attributes are changed.  This is called immediately
- *	before commit_creds().
- * @bprm_committed_creds:
- *	Tidy up after the installation of the new security attributes of a
- *	process being transformed by an execve operation.  The new credentials
- *	have, by this point, been set to @current->cred.  @bprm points to the
- *	linux_binprm structure.  This hook is a good place to perform state
- *	changes on the process such as clearing out non-inheritable signal
- *	state.  This is called immediately after commit_creds().
- * @bprm_secureexec:
- *	Return a boolean value (0 or 1) indicating whether a "secure exec"
- *	is required.  The flag is passed in the auxiliary table
- *	on the initial stack to the ELF interpreter to indicate whether libc
- *	should enable secure mode.
- *	@bprm contains the linux_binprm structure.
- *
- * Security hooks for filesystem operations.
- *
- * @sb_alloc_security:
- *	Allocate and attach a security structure to the sb->s_security field.
- *	The s_security field is initialized to NULL when the structure is
- *	allocated.
- *	@sb contains the super_block structure to be modified.
- *	Return 0 if operation was successful.
- * @sb_free_security:
- *	Deallocate and clear the sb->s_security field.
- *	@sb contains the super_block structure to be modified.
- * @sb_statfs:

- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @sb_mount:
- *	Check permission before an object specified by @dev_name is mounted on
- *	the mount point named by @nd.  For an ordinary mount, @dev_name
- *	identifies a device if the file system type requires a device.  For a
- *	remount (@flags & MS_REMOUNT), @dev_name is irrelevant.  For a
- *	loopback/bind mount (@flags & MS_BIND), @dev_name identifies the
- *	pathname of the object being mounted.
- *	@dev_name contains the name for object being mounted.
- *	@path contains the path for mount point object.
- *	@type contains the filesystem type.
- *	@flags contains the mount flags.
- *	@data contains the filesystem-specific data.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @sb_copy_data:
- *	Allow mount option data to be copied prior to parsing by the filesystem,
- *	so that the security module can extract security-specific mount
- *	options cleanly (a filesystem may modify the data e.g. with strsep()).
- *	This also allows the original mount data to be stripped of security-
- *	specific options to avoid having to make filesystems aware of them.
- *	@type the type of filesystem being mounted.
- *	@orig the original mount data copied from userspace.
- *	@copy copied data which will be passed to the security module.
- *	Returns 0 if the copy was successful.
- * @sb_remount:
- *	Extracts security system specific mount options and verifies no changes
- *	are being made to those options.
- *	@sb superblock being remounted
- *	@data contains the filesystem-specific data.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @sb_umount:
- *	Check permission before the @mnt file system is unmounted.
- *	@mnt contains the mounted file system.
- *	@flags contains the unmount flags, e.g. MNT_FORCE.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @sb_pivotroot:
- *	Check permission before pivoting the root filesystem.
- *	@old_path contains the path for the new location of the current root (put_old).
- *	@new_path contains the path for the new root (new_root).
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @sb_set_mnt_opts:
- *	Set the security relevant mount options used for a superblock
- *	@sb the superblock to set security mount options for
- *	@opts binary data structure containing all lsm mount data
- * @sb_clone_mnt_opts:
- *	Copy all security options from a given superblock to another
- *	@oldsb old superblock which contain information to clone
- *	@newsb new superblock which needs filled in
- * @sb_parse_opts_str:
- *	Parse a string of security data filling in the opts structure
- *	@options string containing all mount options known by the LSM
- *	@opts binary data structure usable by the LSM
- * @dentry_init_security:
- *	Compute a context for a dentry as the inode is not yet available
- *	since NFSv4 has no label backed by an EA anyway.
- *	@dentry dentry to use in calculating the context.
- *	@mode mode used to determine resource type.
- *	@name name of the last path component used to create file
- *	@ctx pointer to place the pointer to the resulting context in.
- *	@ctxlen point to place the length of the resulting context.
- *
- *
- * Security hooks for inode operations.
- *
- * @inode_alloc_security:
- *	Allocate and attach a security structure to @inode->i_security.  The
- *	i_security field is initialized to NULL when the inode structure is
- *	allocated.
- *	@inode contains the inode structure.
- *	Return 0 if operation was successful.
- * @inode_free_security:
- *	@inode contains the inode structure.
- *	Deallocate the inode security structure and set @inode->i_security to
- *	NULL.
- * @inode_init_security:
- *	Obtain the security attribute name suffix and value to set on a newly
- *	created inode and set up the incore security field for the new inode.
- *	This hook is called by the fs code as part of the inode creation
- *	transaction and provides for atomic labeling of the inode, unlike
- *	the post_create/mkdir/... hooks called by the VFS.  The hook function
- *	is expected to allocate the name and value via kmalloc, with the caller
- *	being responsible for calling kfree after using them.
- *	If the security module does not use security attributes or does
- *	not wish to put a security attribute on this particular inode,
- *	then it should return -EOPNOTSUPP to skip this processing.
- *	@inode contains the inode structure of the newly created inode.
- *	@dir contains the inode structure of the parent directory.
- *	@qstr contains the last path component of the new object

- *	value via the buffer or just the value length Return size of buffer on
- *	success.

- * Security hooks for file operations
- *
- * @file_permission:
- *	Check file permissions before accessing an open file.  This hook is
- *	called by various operations that read or write files.  A security
- *	module can use this hook to perform additional checking on these
- *	operations, e.g.  to revalidate permissions on use to support privilege
- *	bracketing or policy changes.  Notice that this hook is used when the
- *	actual read/write operations are performed, whereas the
- *	inode_security_ops hook is called when a file is opened (as well as
- *	many other operations).
- *	Caveat:  Although this hook can be used to revalidate permissions for
- *	various system call operations that read or write files, it does not
- *	address the revalidation of permissions for memory-mapped files.

- *	should never be used by the security module.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.

- *	Check permissions for a mmap operation at @addr.
- *	@addr contains virtual address that will be used for the operation.

- *	never be used by the security module.
- *	@file contains the file structure.

- *	@arg contains the operational arguments.
- *	Return 0 if permission is granted.

- *	Return 0 on success.
- * @file_send_sigiotask:
- *	Check permission for the file owner @fown to send SIGIO or SIGURG to the

- *	audit_rule_init.
- *	@rule contains the allocated rule
- *
- * @inode_notifysecctx:
- *	Notify the security module of what the security context of an inode
- *	should be.  Initializes the incore security context managed by the

- *	value provided by the server for the file when the server returned the
- *	file's attributes to the client.
- *
- * 	Must be called with inode->i_mutex locked.
- *
- * 	@inode we wish to set the security context of.
- * 	@ctx contains the string which we wish to set in the inode.
- * 	@ctxlen contains the length of @ctx.
- *
- * @inode_setsecctx:
- * 	Change the security context of an inode.  Updates the
- * 	incore security context managed by the security module and invokes the
- * 	fs code as needed (via __vfs_setxattr_noperm) to update any backing
- * 	xattrs that represent the context.  Example usage:  NFS server invokes
- * 	this hook to change the security context in its incore inode and on the
- * 	backing filesystem to a value provided by the client on a SETATTR
- * 	operation.
- *
- * 	Must be called with inode->i_mutex locked.
- *
- * 	@dentry contains the inode we wish to set the security context of.
- * 	@ctx contains the string which we wish to set in the inode.
- * 	@ctxlen contains the length of @ctx.

- * @inode_getsecctx:
- *	On success, returns 0 and fills out @ctx and @ctxlen with the security
- *	context for the given @inode.
- *
- * 	@inode we wish to get the security context of.
- *	@ctx is a pointer in which to place the allocated security context.
- *	@ctxlen points to the place to put the length of @ctx.
