[PATCH v15 02/10] landlock: Add ruleset and domain management

[MickaÃl SalaÃn]

A Landlock ruleset is mainly a red-black tree with Landlock rules as
nodes.  This enables quick update and lookup to match a requested access
e.g., to a file.  A ruleset is usable through a dedicated file
descriptor (cf. following commit implementing the syscall) which enables
a process to create and populate a ruleset with new rules.

A domain is a ruleset tied to a set of processes.  This group of rules
define the security policy enforced on these processes and their future
children.  A domain can transition to a new domain which is the
intersection of all its constraints and those of a ruleset provided by
the current process.  This modification only impact the current process.
This means that a process can only gain more constraints (i.e. lose
accesses) over time.

Changes since v14:
* Simplify the object, rule and ruleset management at the expense of a
  less aggressive memory freeing (contributed by Jann Horn, with
  additional modifications):
  - Make a domain immutable (remove the opportunistic cleaning).
  - Remove RCU pointers.
  - Merge struct landlock_ref and struct landlock_ruleset_elem into
    landlock_rule: get ride of rule's RCU.
  - Adjust union.
  - Remove the landlock_insert_rule() check about a new object with the
    same address as a previously disabled one, because it is not
    possible to disable a rule anymore.
  Cf. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAG48ez21bEn0wL1bbmTiiu8j9jP5iEWtHOwz4tURUJ+ki0ydYw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
* Fix nested domains by implementing a notion of layer level and depth:
  - Update landlock_insert_rule() to manage such layers.
  - Add an inherit_ruleset() helper to properly create a new domain.
  - Rename landlock_find_access() to landlock_find_rule() and return a
    full rule reference.
  - Add a layer_level and a layer_depth fields to struct landlock_rule.
  - Add a top_layer_level field to struct landlock_ruleset.
* Remove access rights that may be required for FD-only requests:
  truncate, getattr, lock, chmod, chown, chgrp, ioctl.  This will be
  handle in a future evolution of Landlock, but right now the goal is to
  lighten the code to ease review.
* Remove LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_OPEN and rename
  LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_{READ,WRITE} with a FILE suffix.
* Rename LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_READDIR to match the *_FILE pattern.
* Remove LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAP which was useless.
* Fix memory leak in put_hierarchy() (reported by Jann Horn).
* Fix user-after-free and rename free_ruleset() (reported by Jann Horn).
* Replace the for loops with rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe().
* Constify variables.
* Only use refcount_inc() through getter helpers.
* Change Landlock_insert_ruleset_access() to
  Landlock_insert_ruleset_rule().
* Rename landlock_put_ruleset_enqueue() to landlock_put_ruleset_deferred().
* Improve kernel documentation and add a warning about the unhandled
  access/syscall families.
* Move ABI check to syscall.c .

Changes since v13:
* New implementation, inspired by the previous inode eBPF map, but
  agnostic to the underlying kernel object.

+ * DOC: fs_access
+ *
+ * A set of actions on kernel objects may be defined by an attribute (e.g.
+ * &struct landlock_attr_path_beneath) and a bitmask of access.
+ *
+ * Filesystem flags
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ *
+ * These flags enable to restrict a sandbox process to a set of of actions on
+ * files and directories.  Files or directories opened before the sandboxing
+ * are not subject to these restrictions.
+ *
+ * - %LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_EXECUTE: Execute a file.
+ * - %LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_WRITE_FILE: Write to a file.
+ * - %LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_READ_FILE: Open a file with read access.
+ * - %LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_READ_DIR: Open a directory or list its content.
+ * - %LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_LINK_TO: Link a file into a directory.
+ * - %LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_RENAME_FROM: Rename a file or a directory.
+ * - %LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_RENAME_TO: Rename a file or a directory.
+ * - %LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_RMDIR: Remove an empty directory.
+ * - %LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_UNLINK: Remove a file.
+ * - %LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_CHAR: Create a character device.
+ * - %LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_DIR: Create a directory.
+ * - %LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_REG: Create a regular file.
+ * - %LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_SOCK: Create a UNIX domain socket.
+ * - %LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_FIFO: Create a named pipe.
+ * - %LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_BLOCK: Create a block device.
+ * - %LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_SYM: Create a symbolic link.
+ * - %LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_CHROOT: Change the root directory of the current
+ *   process.
+ *
+ * .. warning::
+ *
+ *   It is currently not possible to restrict some file-related actions
+ *   accessible through these syscall families: :manpage:`chdir(2)`,
+ *   :manpage:`truncate(2)`, :manpage:`stat(2)`, :manpage:`flock(2)`,
+ *   :manpage:`chmod(2)`, :manpage:`chown(2)`, :manpage:`setxattr(2)`,
+ *   :manpage:`ioctl(2)`, :manpage:`fcntl(2)`.
+ *   Future evolutions of Landlock will make possible to restrict them.
