      keys: make the keyring quotas controllable through /proc/sys · 0b77f5bf
      David Howells 提交于
      Make the keyring quotas controllable through /proc/sys files:
      
       (*) /proc/sys/kernel/keys/root_maxkeys
           /proc/sys/kernel/keys/root_maxbytes
      
           Maximum number of keys that root may have and the maximum total number of
           bytes of data that root may have stored in those keys.
      
       (*) /proc/sys/kernel/keys/maxkeys
           /proc/sys/kernel/keys/maxbytes
      
           Maximum number of keys that each non-root user may have and the maximum
           total number of bytes of data that each of those users may have stored in
           their keys.
      
      Also increase the quotas as a number of people have been complaining that it's
      not big enough.  I'm not sure that it's big enough now either, but on the
      other hand, it can now be set in /etc/sysctl.conf.

      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.
      
       (3) Documentation.

      [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: 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.
