[PATCH v5 0/5] LSM: Support ptrace sidechannel access checks

From: Casey Schaufler
Date: Wed Sep 26 2018 - 16:35:16 EST


v5: Revamped to match Jiri Kosina <jkosina@xxxxxxx>
Harden spectrev2 userspace-userspace protection v7
Fixed locking issues in the LSM code.
Dropped the new LSM hook and use a ptrace hook instead.
v4: select namespace checks if user namespaces are enabled
and credential checks are request.
v3: get_task_cred wasn't a good choice due to refcounts.
Use lower level protection instead
v2: SELinux access policy corrected.
Use real_cred instead of cred.

This patchset provide a mechanism by which a security module
can advise the system about potential side-channel vulnerabilities.
The existing security modules have been updated to avoid locking
issues in the face of PTRACE_MODE_SCHED. A new security
module is provided to make determinations regarding task attributes
including namespaces.
