[PATCH v3 00/10] evm: Support signatures on stacked filesystem

From: Stefan Berger
Date: Fri Feb 23 2024 - 12:27:15 EST


EVM signature verification on stacked filesystem has recently been
completely disabled by declaring some filesystems as unsupported
(only overlayfs). This series now enables copy-up of "portable
and immutable" signatures on those filesystems and enables the
enforcement of "portable and immultable" as well as the "original"
signatures on previously unsupported filesystem when evm is enabled
with EVM_INIT_X509. HMAC verification and generation remains disabled.

"Portable and immutable" signatures can be copied up since they are
not created over file-specific metadata, such as UUID or generation.
Instead, they are only covering file metadata such as mode bits, uid, and
gid, that will all be preserved during a copy-up of the file metadata.

This series is now based on the 'next' branch of Paul Moore's LSM tree and
requires the following two commits from the vfs.misc branch of the vfs git
repo at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs.git

commit 2109cc619e73 ("fs: remove the inode argument to ->d_real() method")
commit c6c14f926fbe ("fs: make file_dentry() a simple accessor")

Regards,
Stefan

v3:
- Rebased series on 'next' branch of Paul Moore's LSM tree
- Reworing of commit descriptions
- Reworked patches 5-7

v2:
- Added patch to rename backing_inode to real_inode (1/9)
- Added patches renaming flag and function due to RSA enablement (7,8/9)
- Added patch to record i_version of real_inode for change detection
(9/9)
- Use Amir's function to get inode holding metadata now (4,5/9)


Stefan Berger (10):
ima: Rename backing_inode to real_inode
security: allow finer granularity in permitting copy-up of security
xattrs
evm: Implement per signature type decision in
security_inode_copy_up_xattr
evm: Use the metadata inode to calculate metadata hash
ima: Move file-change detection variables into new structure
evm: Store and detect metadata inode attributes changes
ima: re-evaluate file integrity on file metadata change
evm: Enforce signatures on unsupported filesystem for EVM_INIT_X509
fs: Rename SB_I_EVM_UNSUPPORTED to SB_I_EVM_HMAC_UNSUPPORTED
evm: Rename is_unsupported_fs to is_unsupported_hmac_fs
