      keys: change keyctl_session_to_parent() to use task_work_add() · 413cd3d9
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      Change keyctl_session_to_parent() to use task_work_add() and move
      key_replace_session_keyring() logic into task_work->func().
      
      Note that we do task_work_cancel() before task_work_add() to ensure that
      only one work can be pending at any time.  This is important, we must not
      allow user-space to abuse the parent's ->task_works list.
      
      The callback, replace_session_keyring(), checks PF_EXITING.  I guess this
      is not really needed but looks better.
      
      As a side effect, this fixes the (unlikely) race.  The callers of
      key_replace_session_keyring() and keyctl_session_to_parent() lack the
      necessary barriers, the parent can miss the request.
      
      Now we can remove task_struct->replacement_session_keyring and related
      code.

      KEYS: Add invalidation support · fd75815f
      David Howells 提交于
      Add support for invalidating a key - which renders it immediately invisible to
      further searches and causes the garbage collector to immediately wake up,
      remove it from keyrings and then destroy it when it's no longer referenced.
      
      It's better not to do this with keyctl_revoke() as that marks the key to start
      returning -EKEYREVOKED to searches when what is actually desired is to have the
      key refetched.
      
      To invalidate a key the caller must be granted SEARCH permission by the key.
      This may be too strict.  It may be better to also permit invalidation if the
      caller has any of READ, WRITE or SETATTR permission.
      
      The primary use for this is to evict keys that are cached in special keyrings,
      such as the DNS resolver or an ID mapper.

      keys: add a "logon" key type · 9f6ed2ca
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      For CIFS, we want to be able to store NTLM credentials (aka username
      and password) in the keyring. We do not, however want to allow users
      to fetch those keys back out of the keyring since that would be a
      security risk.
      
      Unfortunately, due to the nuances of key permission bits, it's not
      possible to do this. We need to grant search permissions so the kernel
      can find these keys, but that also implies permissions to read the
      payload.
      
      Resolve this by adding a new key_type. This key type is essentially
      the same as key_type_user, but does not define a .read op. This
      prevents the payload from ever being visible from userspace. This
      key type also vets the description to ensure that it's "qualified"
      by checking to ensure that it has a ':' in it that is preceded by
      other characters.

      KEYS: Correctly destroy key payloads when their keytype is removed · 0c061b57
      David Howells 提交于
      unregister_key_type() has code to mark a key as dead and make it unavailable in
      one loop and then destroy all those unavailable key payloads in the next loop.
      However, the loop to mark keys dead renders the key undetectable to the second
      loop by changing the key type pointer also.
      
      Fix this by the following means:
      
       (1) The key code has two garbage collectors: one deletes unreferenced keys and
           the other alters keyrings to delete links to old dead, revoked and expired
           keys.  They can end up holding each other up as both want to scan the key
           serial tree under spinlock.  Combine these into a single routine.
      
       (2) Move the dead key marking, dead link removal and dead key removal into the
           garbage collector as a three phase process running over the three cycles
           of the normal garbage collection procedure.  This is tracked by the
           KEY_GC_REAPING_DEAD_1, _2 and _3 state flags.
      
           unregister_key_type() then just unlinks the key type from the list, wakes
           up the garbage collector and waits for the third phase to complete.
      
       (3) Downgrade the key types sem in unregister_key_type() once it has deleted
           the key type from the list so that it doesn't block the keyctl() syscall.
      
       (4) Dead keys that cannot be simply removed in the third phase have their
           payloads destroyed with the key's semaphore write-locked to prevent
           interference by the keyctl() syscall.  There should be no in-kernel users
           of dead keys of that type by the point of unregistration, though keyctl()
           may be holding a reference.
      
       (5) Only perform timer recalculation in the GC if the timer actually expired.
           If it didn't, we'll get another cycle when it goes off - and if the key
           that actually triggered it has been removed, it's not a problem.
      
       (6) Only garbage collect link if the timer expired or if we're doing dead key
           clean up phase 2.
      
       (7) As only key_garbage_collector() is permitted to use rb_erase() on the key
           serial tree, it doesn't need to revalidate its cursor after dropping the
           spinlock as the node the cursor points to must still exist in the tree.
      
       (8) Drop the spinlock in the GC if there is contention on it or if we need to
           reschedule.  After dealing with that, get the spinlock again and resume
           scanning.
      
      This has been tested in the following ways:
      
       (1) Run the keyutils testsuite against it.
      
       (2) Using the AF_RXRPC and RxKAD modules to test keytype removal:
      
           Load the rxrpc_s key type:
      
      	# insmod /tmp/af-rxrpc.ko
      	# insmod /tmp/rxkad.ko
      
           Create a key (http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/rxrpc/listen.c):
      
      	# /tmp/listen &
      	[1] 8173
      
           Find the key:
      
      	# grep rxrpc_s /proc/keys
      	091086e1 I--Q--     1 perm 39390000     0     0 rxrpc_s   52:2
      
           Link it to a session keyring, preferably one with a higher serial number:
      
      	# keyctl link 0x20e36251 @s
      
           Kill the process (the key should remain as it's linked to another place):
      
      	# fg
      	/tmp/listen
      	^C
      
           Remove the key type:
      
      	rmmod rxkad
      	rmmod af-rxrpc
      
           This can be made a more effective test by altering the following part of
           the patch:
      
      	if (unlikely(gc_state & KEY_GC_REAPING_DEAD_2)) {
      		/* Make sure everyone revalidates their keys if we marked a
      		 * bunch as being dead and make sure all keyring ex-payloads
      		 * are destroyed.
      		 */
      		kdebug("dead sync");
      		synchronize_rcu();
      
           To call synchronize_rcu() in GC phase 1 instead.  That causes that the
           keyring's old payload content to hang around longer until it's RCU
           destroyed - which usually happens after GC phase 3 is complete.  This
           allows the destroy_dead_key branch to be tested.

      KEYS: Improve /proc/keys · 78b7280c
      David Howells 提交于
      Improve /proc/keys by:
      
       (1) Don't attempt to summarise the payload of a negated key.  It won't have
           one.  To this end, a helper function - key_is_instantiated() has been
           added that allows the caller to find out whether the key is positively
           instantiated (as opposed to being uninstantiated or negatively
           instantiated).
      
       (2) Do show keys that are negative, expired or revoked rather than hiding
           them.  This requires an override flag (no_state_check) to be passed to
           search_my_process_keyrings() and keyring_search_aux() to suppress this
           check.
      
           Without this, keys that are possessed by the caller, but only grant
           permissions to the caller if possessed are skipped as the possession check
           fails.
      
           Keys that are visible due to user, group or other checks are visible with

      KEYS: Fix __key_link_end() quota fixup on error · ceb73c12
      David Howells 提交于
      Fix __key_link_end()'s attempt to fix up the quota if an error occurs.
      
      There are two erroneous cases: Firstly, we always decrease the quota if
      the preallocated replacement keyring needs cleaning up, irrespective of
      whether or not we should (we may have replaced a pointer rather than
      adding another pointer).
      
      Secondly, we never clean up the quota if we added a pointer without the
      keyring storage being extended (we allocate multiple pointers at a time,
      even if we're not going to use them all immediately).
      
      We handle this by setting the bottom bit of the preallocation pointer in
      __key_link_begin() to indicate that the quota needs fixing up, which is
      then passed to __key_link() (which clears the whole thing) and
      __key_link_end().

      KEYS: Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring on its parent [try #6] · ee18d64c
      David Howells 提交于
      Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent.  This
      replaces the parent's session keyring.  Because the COW credential code does
      not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the
      change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again.  Normally this
      will be after a wait*() syscall.
      
      To support this, three new security hooks have been provided:
      cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in
      the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if
      the process may replace its parent's session keyring.
      
      The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details
      as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and
      the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it.
      
      Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path.
      This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of
      which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.  This allows the
      replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace
      execution.
      
      This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and
      the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to
      alter the parent process's PAG membership.  However, since kAFS doesn't use
      PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session
      keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed
      the newpag flag.
      
      This can be tested with the following program:
      
      	#include <stdio.h>
      	#include <stdlib.h>
      	#include <keyutils.h>
      
      	#define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT	18
      
      	#define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0)
      
      	int main(int argc, char **argv)
      	{
      		key_serial_t keyring, key;
      		long ret;
      
      		keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]);
      		OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring");
      
      		key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring);
      		OSERROR(key, "add_key");
      
      		ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT);
      		OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT");
      
      		return 0;
      	}
      
      Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like:
      
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
      	Session Keyring
      	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses

      	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: hello
      	340417692 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a
      
      Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named
      'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

      CRED: Inaugurate COW credentials · d84f4f99
      David Howells 提交于
      Inaugurate copy-on-write credentials management.  This uses RCU to manage the
      credentials pointer in the task_struct with respect to accesses by other tasks.
      A process may only modify its own credentials, and so does not need locking to
      access or modify its own credentials.
      
      A mutex (cred_replace_mutex) is added to the task_struct to control the effect
      of PTRACE_ATTACHED on credential calculations, particularly with respect to
      execve().
      
      With this patch, the contents of an active credentials struct may not be
      changed directly; rather a new set of credentials must be prepared, modified
      and committed using something like the following sequence of events:
      
      	struct cred *new = prepare_creds();
      	int ret = blah(new);
      	if (ret < 0) {
      		abort_creds(new);
      		return ret;
      	}
      	return commit_creds(new);
      
      There are some exceptions to this rule: the keyrings pointed to by the active
      credentials may be instantiated - keyrings violate the COW rule as managing
      COW keyrings is tricky, given that it is possible for a task to directly alter
      the keys in a keyring in use by another task.
      
      To help enforce this, various pointers to sets of credentials, such as those in
      the task_struct, are declared const.  The purpose of this is compile-time
      discouragement of altering credentials through those pointers.  Once a set of
      credentials has been made public through one of these pointers, it may not be
      modified, except under special circumstances:
      
        (1) Its reference count may incremented and decremented.
      
        (2) The keyrings to which it points may be modified, but not replaced.
      
      The only safe way to modify anything else is to create a replacement and commit
      using the functions described in Documentation/credentials.txt (which will be
      added by a later patch).
      
      This patch and the preceding patches have been tested with the LTP SELinux
      testsuite.
      
      This patch makes several logical sets of alteration:
      
       (1) execve().
      
           This now prepares and commits credentials in various places in the
           security code rather than altering the current creds directly.
      
       (2) Temporary credential overrides.
      
           do_coredump() and sys_faccessat() now prepare their own credentials and
           temporarily override the ones currently on the acting thread, whilst
           preventing interference from other threads by holding cred_replace_mutex
           on the thread being dumped.
      
           This will be replaced in a future patch by something that hands down the
           credentials directly to the functions being called, rather than altering
           the task's objective credentials.
      
       (3) LSM interface.
      
           A number of functions have been changed, added or removed:
      
           (*) security_capset_check(), ->capset_check()
           (*) security_capset_set(), ->capset_set()
      
           	 Removed in favour of security_capset().
      
           (*) security_capset(), ->capset()
      
           	 New.  This is passed a pointer to the new creds, a pointer to the old
           	 creds and the proposed capability sets.  It should fill in the new
           	 creds or return an error.  All pointers, barring the pointer to the
           	 new creds, are now const.
      
           (*) security_bprm_apply_creds(), ->bprm_apply_creds()
      
           	 Changed; now returns a value, which will cause the process to be
           	 killed if it's an error.
      
           (*) security_task_alloc(), ->task_alloc_security()
      
           	 Removed in favour of security_prepare_creds().
      
           (*) security_cred_free(), ->cred_free()
      
           	 New.  Free security data attached to cred->security.
      
           (*) security_prepare_creds(), ->cred_prepare()
      
           	 New. Duplicate any security data attached to cred->security.
      
           (*) security_commit_creds(), ->cred_commit()
      
           	 New. Apply any security effects for the upcoming installation of new
           	 security by commit_creds().
      
           (*) security_task_post_setuid(), ->task_post_setuid()
      
           	 Removed in favour of security_task_fix_setuid().
      
           (*) security_task_fix_setuid(), ->task_fix_setuid()
      
           	 Fix up the proposed new credentials for setuid().  This is used by
           	 cap_set_fix_setuid() to implicitly adjust capabilities in line with
           	 setuid() changes.  Changes are made to the new credentials, rather
           	 than the task itself as in security_task_post_setuid().
      
           (*) security_task_reparent_to_init(), ->task_reparent_to_init()
      
           	 Removed.  Instead the task being reparented to init is referred
           	 directly to init's credentials.
      
      	 NOTE!  This results in the loss of some state: SELinux's osid no
      	 longer records the sid of the thread that forked it.
      
           (*) security_key_alloc(), ->key_alloc()
           (*) security_key_permission(), ->key_permission()
      
           	 Changed.  These now take cred pointers rather than task pointers to
           	 refer to the security context.
      
       (4) sys_capset().
      
           This has been simplified and uses less locking.  The LSM functions it
           calls have been merged.
      
       (5) reparent_to_kthreadd().
      
           This gives the current thread the same credentials as init by simply using
           commit_thread() to point that way.
      
       (6) __sigqueue_alloc() and switch_uid()
      
           __sigqueue_alloc() can't stop the target task from changing its creds
           beneath it, so this function gets a reference to the currently applicable
           user_struct which it then passes into the sigqueue struct it returns if
           successful.
      
           switch_uid() is now called from commit_creds(), and possibly should be
           folded into that.  commit_creds() should take care of protecting
           __sigqueue_alloc().
      
       (7) [sg]et[ug]id() and co and [sg]et_current_groups.
      
           The set functions now all use prepare_creds(), commit_creds() and
           abort_creds() to build and check a new set of credentials before applying
           it.
      
           security_task_set[ug]id() is called inside the prepared section.  This
           guarantees that nothing else will affect the creds until we've finished.
      
           The calling of set_dumpable() has been moved into commit_creds().
      
           Much of the functionality of set_user() has been moved into
           commit_creds().
      
           The get functions all simply access the data directly.
      
       (8) security_task_prctl() and cap_task_prctl().
      
           security_task_prctl() has been modified to return -ENOSYS if it doesn't
           want to handle a function, or otherwise return the return value directly
           rather than through an argument.
      
           Additionally, cap_task_prctl() now prepares a new set of credentials, even
           if it doesn't end up using it.
      
       (9) Keyrings.
      
           A number of changes have been made to the keyrings code:
      
           (a) switch_uid_keyring(), copy_keys(), exit_keys() and suid_keys() have
           	 all been dropped and built in to the credentials functions directly.
           	 They may want separating out again later.
      
           (b) key_alloc() and search_process_keyrings() now take a cred pointer
           	 rather than a task pointer to specify the security context.
      
           (c) copy_creds() gives a new thread within the same thread group a new
           	 thread keyring if its parent had one, otherwise it discards the thread
           	 keyring.
      
           (d) The authorisation key now points directly to the credentials to extend
           	 the search into rather pointing to the task that carries them.
      
           (e) Installing thread, process or session keyrings causes a new set of
           	 credentials to be created, even though it's not strictly necessary for
           	 process or session keyrings (they're shared).
      
      (10) Usermode helper.
      
           The usermode helper code now carries a cred struct pointer in its
           subprocess_info struct instead of a new session keyring pointer.  This set
           of credentials is derived from init_cred and installed on the new process
           after it has been cloned.
      
           call_usermodehelper_setup() allocates the new credentials and
           call_usermodehelper_freeinfo() discards them if they haven't been used.  A
           special cred function (prepare_usermodeinfo_creds()) is provided
           specifically for call_usermodehelper_setup() to call.
      
           call_usermodehelper_setkeys() adjusts the credentials to sport the
           supplied keyring as the new session keyring.
      
      (11) SELinux.
      
           SELinux has a number of changes, in addition to those to support the LSM
           interface changes mentioned above:
      
           (a) selinux_setprocattr() no longer does its check for whether the
           	 current ptracer can access processes with the new SID inside the lock
           	 that covers getting the ptracer's SID.  Whilst this lock ensures that
           	 the check is done with the ptracer pinned, the result is only valid
           	 until the lock is released, so there's no point doing it inside the
           	 lock.
      
      (12) is_single_threaded().
      
           This function has been extracted from selinux_setprocattr() and put into
           a file of its own in the lib/ directory as join_session_keyring() now
           wants to use it too.
      
           The code in SELinux just checked to see whether a task shared mm_structs
           with other tasks (CLONE_VM), but that isn't good enough.  We really want
           to know if they're part of the same thread group (CLONE_THREAD).
      
      (13) nfsd.
      
           The NFS server daemon now has to use the COW credentials to set the
           credentials it is going to use.  It really needs to pass the credentials
           down to the functions it calls, but it can't do that until other patches
           in this series have been applied.

      KEYS: Alter use of key instantiation link-to-keyring argument · 8bbf4976
      David Howells 提交于
      Alter the use of the key instantiation and negation functions' link-to-keyring
      arguments.  Currently this specifies a keyring in the target process to link
      the key into, creating the keyring if it doesn't exist.  This, however, can be
      a problem for copy-on-write credentials as it means that the instantiating
      process can alter the credentials of the requesting process.
      
      This patch alters the behaviour such that:
      
       (1) If keyctl_instantiate_key() or keyctl_negate_key() are given a specific
           keyring by ID (ringid >= 0), then that keyring will be used.
      
       (2) If keyctl_instantiate_key() or keyctl_negate_key() are given one of the
           special constants that refer to the requesting process's keyrings
           (KEY_SPEC_*_KEYRING, all <= 0), then:
      
           (a) If sys_request_key() was given a keyring to use (destringid) then the
           	 key will be attached to that keyring.
      
           (b) If sys_request_key() was given a NULL keyring, then the key being
           	 instantiated will be attached to the default keyring as set by
           	 keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring().
      
       (3) No extra link will be made.
      
      Decision point (1) follows current behaviour, and allows those instantiators
      who've searched for a specifically named keyring in the requestor's keyring so
      as to partition the keys by type to still have their named keyrings.
      
      Decision point (2) allows the requestor to make sure that the key or keys that
      get produced by request_key() go where they want, whilst allowing the
      instantiator to request that the key is retained.  This is mainly useful for
      situations where the instantiator makes a secondary request, the key for which
      should be retained by the initial requestor:
      
      	+-----------+        +--------------+        +--------------+
      	|           |        |              |        |              |
      	| Requestor |------->| Instantiator |------->| Instantiator |
      	|           |        |              |        |              |
      	+-----------+        +--------------+        +--------------+
      	           request_key()           request_key()
      
      This might be useful, for example, in Kerberos, where the requestor requests a
      ticket, and then the ticket instantiator requests the TGT, which someone else
      then has to go and fetch.  The TGT, however, should be retained in the
      keyrings of the requestor, not the first instantiator.  To make this explict
      an extra special keyring constant is also added.

           /proc/sys/kernel/keys/root_maxbytes

      keys: don't generate user and user session keyrings unless they're accessed · 69664cf1
      David Howells 提交于
      Don't generate the per-UID user and user session keyrings unless they're
      explicitly accessed.  This solves a problem during a login process whereby
      set*uid() is called before the SELinux PAM module, resulting in the per-UID
      keyrings having the wrong security labels.
      
      This also cures the problem of multiple per-UID keyrings sometimes appearing
      due to PAM modules (including pam_keyinit) setuiding and causing user_structs
      to come into and go out of existence whilst the session keyring pins the user
      keyring.  This is achieved by first searching for extant per-UID keyrings
      before inventing new ones.
      
      The serial bound argument is also dropped from find_keyring_by_name() as it's
      not currently made use of (setting it to 0 disables the feature).

      keys: add keyctl function to get a security label · 70a5bb72
      David Howells 提交于
      Add a keyctl() function to get the security label of a key.
      
      The following is added to Documentation/keys.txt:
      
       (*) Get the LSM security context attached to a key.
      
      	long keyctl(KEYCTL_GET_SECURITY, key_serial_t key, char *buffer,
      		    size_t buflen)
      
           This function returns a string that represents the LSM security context
           attached to a key in the buffer provided.
      
           Unless there's an error, it always returns the amount of data it could
           produce, even if that's too big for the buffer, but it won't copy more
           than requested to userspace. If the buffer pointer is NULL then no copy
           will take place.
      
           A NUL character is included at the end of the string if the buffer is
           sufficiently big.  This is included in the returned count.  If no LSM is
           in force then an empty string will be returned.
      
           A process must have view permission on the key for this function to be
           successful.

      KEYS: Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronous · 76181c13
      David Howells 提交于
      Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronous to make it easier for
      NFS to make use of them.  There are now accessor functions that do
      asynchronous constructions, a wait function to wait for construction to
      complete, and a completion function for the key type to indicate completion
      of construction.
      
      Note that the construction queue is now gone.  Instead, keys under
      construction are linked in to the appropriate keyring in advance, and that
      anyone encountering one must wait for it to be complete before they can use
      it.  This is done automatically for userspace.
      
      The following auxiliary changes are also made:
      
       (1) Key type implementation stuff is split from linux/key.h into
           linux/key-type.h.
      
       (2) AF_RXRPC provides a way to allocate null rxrpc-type keys so that AFS does
           not need to call key_instantiate_and_link() directly.
      
       (3) Adjust the debugging macros so that they're -Wformat checked even if
           they are disabled, and make it so they can be enabled simply by defining
           __KDEBUG to be consistent with other code of mine.

      [PATCH] keys: Permit running process to instantiate keys · b5f545c8
      David Howells 提交于
      Make it possible for a running process (such as gssapid) to be able to
      instantiate a key, as was requested by Trond Myklebust for NFS4.
      
      The patch makes the following changes:
      
       (1) A new, optional key type method has been added. This permits a key type
           to intercept requests at the point /sbin/request-key is about to be
           spawned and do something else with them - passing them over the
           rpc_pipefs files or netlink sockets for instance.
      
           The uninstantiated key, the authorisation key and the intended operation
           name are passed to the method.
      
       (2) The callout_info is no longer passed as an argument to /sbin/request-key
           to prevent unauthorised viewing of this data using ps or by looking in
           /proc/pid/cmdline.
      
           This means that the old /sbin/request-key program will not work with the
           patched kernel as it will expect to see an extra argument that is no
           longer there.
      
           A revised keyutils package will be made available tomorrow.
      
       (3) The callout_info is now attached to the authorisation key. Reading this
           key will retrieve the information.
      
       (4) A new field has been added to the task_struct. This holds the
           authorisation key currently active for a thread. Searches now look here
           for the caller's set of keys rather than looking for an auth key in the
           lowest level of the session keyring.
      
           This permits a thread to be servicing multiple requests at once and to
           switch between them. Note that this is per-thread, not per-process, and
           so is usable in multithreaded programs.
      
           The setting of this field is inherited across fork and exec.
      
       (5) A new keyctl function (KEYCTL_ASSUME_AUTHORITY) has been added that
           permits a thread to assume the authority to deal with an uninstantiated
           key. Assumption is only permitted if the authorisation key associated
           with the uninstantiated key is somewhere in the thread's keyrings.
      
           This function can also clear the assumption.
      
       (6) A new magic key specifier has been added to refer to the currently
           assumed authorisation key (KEY_SPEC_REQKEY_AUTH_KEY).
      
       (7) Instantiation will only proceed if the appropriate authorisation key is
           assumed first. The assumed authorisation key is discarded if
           instantiation is successful.
      
       (8) key_validate() is moved from the file of request_key functions to the
           file of permissions functions.
      
       (9) The documentation is updated.

      [PATCH] keys: Permit key expiry time to be set · 017679c4
      David Howells 提交于
      Add a new keyctl function that allows the expiry time to be set on a key or
      removed from a key, provided the caller has attribute modification access.

      [PATCH] Keys: Add possessor permissions to keys [try #3] · 664cceb0
      David Howells 提交于
      The attached patch adds extra permission grants to keys for the possessor of a
      key in addition to the owner, group and other permissions bits. This makes
      SUID binaries easier to support without going as far as labelling keys and key
      targets using the LSM facilities.
      
      This patch adds a second "pointer type" to key structures (struct key_ref *)
      that can have the bottom bit of the address set to indicate the possession of
      a key. This is propagated through searches from the keyring to the discovered
      key. It has been made a separate type so that the compiler can spot attempts
      to dereference a potentially incorrect pointer.
      
      The "possession" attribute can't be attached to a key structure directly as
      it's not an intrinsic property of a key.
      
      Pointers to keys have been replaced with struct key_ref *'s wherever
      possession information needs to be passed through.
      
      This does assume that the bottom bit of the pointer will always be zero on
      return from kmem_cache_alloc().
      
      The key reference type has been made into a typedef so that at least it can be
      located in the sources, even though it's basically a pointer to an undefined
      type. I've also renamed the accessor functions to be more useful, and all
      reference variables should now end in "_ref".

      [PATCH] Keys: Make request-key create an authorisation key · 3e30148c
      David Howells 提交于
      The attached patch makes the following changes:
      
       (1) There's a new special key type called ".request_key_auth".
      
           This is an authorisation key for when one process requests a key and
           another process is started to construct it. This type of key cannot be
           created by the user; nor can it be requested by kernel services.
      
           Authorisation keys hold two references:
      
           (a) Each refers to a key being constructed. When the key being
           	 constructed is instantiated the authorisation key is revoked,
           	 rendering it of no further use.
      
           (b) The "authorising process". This is either:
      
           	 (i) the process that called request_key(), or:
      
           	 (ii) if the process that called request_key() itself had an
           	      authorisation key in its session keyring, then the authorising
           	      process referred to by that authorisation key will also be
           	      referred to by the new authorisation key.
      
      	 This means that the process that initiated a chain of key requests
      	 will authorise the lot of them, and will, by default, wind up with
      	 the keys obtained from them in its keyrings.
      
       (2) request_key() creates an authorisation key which is then passed to
           /sbin/request-key in as part of a new session keyring.
      
       (3) When request_key() is searching for a key to hand back to the caller, if
           it comes across an authorisation key in the session keyring of the
           calling process, it will also search the keyrings of the process
           specified therein and it will use the specified process's credentials
           (fsuid, fsgid, groups) to do that rather than the calling process's
           credentials.
      
           This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to find keys belonging
           to the authorising process.
      
       (4) A key can be read, even if the process executing KEYCTL_READ doesn't have
           direct read or search permission if that key is contained within the
           keyrings of a process specified by an authorisation key found within the
           calling process's session keyring, and is searchable using the
           credentials of the authorising process.
      
           This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to read keys belonging
           to the authorising process.
      
       (5) The magic KEY_SPEC_*_KEYRING key IDs when passed to KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE or
           KEYCTL_NEGATE will specify a keyring of the authorising process, rather
           than the process doing the instantiation.
      
       (6) One of the process keyrings can be nominated as the default to which
           request_key() should attach new keys if not otherwise specified. This is
           done with KEYCTL_SET_REQKEY_KEYRING and one of the KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_*
           constants. The current setting can also be read using this call.
      
       (7) request_key() is partially interruptible. If it is waiting for another
           process to finish constructing a key, it can be interrupted. This permits
           a request-key cycle to be broken without recourse to rebooting.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
