[ Upstream commit 47add87ad181473e5ef2438918669540ba5016a6 ]

Unsupported filesystems currently do not enforce any signatures. Add
support for signature enforcement of the "original" and "portable &amp;
immutable" signatures when EVM_INIT_X509 is enabled.

The "original" signature type contains filesystem specific metadata.
Thus it cannot be copied up and verified. However with EVM_INIT_X509
and EVM_ALLOW_METADATA_WRITES enabled, the "original" file signature
may be written.

When EVM_ALLOW_METADATA_WRITES is not set or once it is removed from
/sys/kernel/security/evm by setting EVM_INIT_HMAC for example, it is not
possible to write or remove xattrs on the overlay filesystem.

This change still prevents EVM from writing HMAC signatures on
unsupported filesystem when EVM_INIT_HMAC is enabled.

Commit c7423dbdbc9e ("ima: Handle -ESTALE returned by
ima_filter_rule_match()") introduced call to ima_lsm_copy_rule within a
RCU read-side critical section which contains kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL.
This implies a possible sleep and violates limitations of RCU read-side
critical sections on non-PREEMPT systems.

Sleeping within RCU read-side critical section might cause
synchronize_rcu() returning early and break RCU protection, allowing a
UAF to happen.

The root cause of this issue could be described as follows:
|	Thread A	|	Thread B	|
|			|ima_match_policy	|
|			|  rcu_read_lock	|
|ima_lsm_update_rule	|			|
|  synchronize_rcu	|			|
|			|    kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)|
|			|      sleep		|
==&gt; synchronize_rcu returns early
|  kfree(entry)		|			|
|			|    entry = entry-&gt;next|
==&gt; UAF happens and entry now becomes NULL (or could be anything).
|			|    entry-&gt;action	|
==&gt; Accessing entry might cause panic.

To fix this issue, we are converting all kmalloc that is called within
RCU read-side critical section to use GFP_ATOMIC.

-&gt;d_name.name can change on rename and the earlier value can be freed;
there are conditions sufficient to stabilize it (-&gt;d_lock on dentry,
-&gt;d_lock on its parent, -&gt;i_rwsem exclusive on the parent's inode,
rename_lock), but none of those are met at any of the sites. Take a stable
snapshot of the name instead.

Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:

 - Promote IMA/EVM to a proper LSM

   This is the bulk of the diffstat, and the source of all the changes
   in the VFS code. Prior to the start of the LSM stacking work it was
   important that IMA/EVM were separate from the rest of the LSMs,
   complete with their own hooks, infrastructure, etc. as it was the
   only way to enable IMA/EVM at the same time as a LSM.

   However, now that the bulk of the LSM infrastructure supports
   multiple simultaneous LSMs, we can simplify things greatly by
   bringing IMA/EVM into the LSM infrastructure as proper LSMs. This is
   something I've wanted to see happen for quite some time and Roberto
   was kind enough to put in the work to make it happen.

 - Use the LSM hook default values to simplify the call_int_hook() macro

   Previously the call_int_hook() macro required callers to supply a
   default return value, despite a default value being specified when
   the LSM hook was defined.

   This simplifies the macro by using the defined default return value
   which makes life easier for callers and should also reduce the number
   of return value bugs in the future (we've had a few pop up recently,
   hence this work).

 - Use the KMEM_CACHE() macro instead of kmem_cache_create()

   The guidance appears to be to use the KMEM_CACHE() macro when
   possible and there is no reason why we can't use the macro, so let's
   use it.

 - Fix a number of comment typos in the LSM hook comment blocks

   Not much to say here, we fixed some questionable grammar decisions in
   the LSM hook comment blocks.

Currently when the kernel fails to add a cert to the .machine keyring,
it will throw an error immediately in the function integrity_add_key.

Since the kernel will try adding to the .platform keyring next or throw
an error (in the caller of integrity_add_key i.e. add_to_machine_keyring),
so there is no need to throw an error immediately in integrity_add_key.

Since now IMA and EVM use their own integrity metadata, it is safe to
remove the 'integrity' LSM, with its management of integrity metadata.

Keep the iint.c file only for loading IMA and EVM keys at boot, and for
creating the integrity directory in securityfs (we need to keep it for
retrocompatibility reasons).

<title>ima: Make it independent from 'integrity' LSM</title>

<content type='text'>
Make the 'ima' LSM independent from the 'integrity' LSM by introducing IMA
own integrity metadata (ima_iint_cache structure, with IMA-specific fields
from the integrity_iint_cache structure), and by managing it directly from
the 'ima' LSM.

Create ima_iint.c and introduce the same integrity metadata management
functions found in iint.c (renamed with ima_). However, instead of putting
metadata in an rbtree, reserve space from IMA in the inode security blob
for a pointer, and introduce the ima_inode_set_iint()/ima_inode_get_iint()
primitives to store/retrieve that pointer. This improves search time from
logarithmic to constant.

Consequently, don't include the inode pointer as field in the
ima_iint_cache structure, since the association with the inode is clear.
Since the inode field is missing in ima_iint_cache, pass the extra inode
parameter to ima_get_verity_digest().

Prefer storing the pointer instead of the entire ima_iint_cache structure,
to avoid too much memory pressure. Use the same mechanism as before, a
cache named ima_iint_cache (renamed from iint_cache), to quickly allocate
a new ima_iint_cache structure when requested by the IMA policy.

Create the new ima_iint_cache in ima_iintcache_init(),
called by init_ima_lsm(), during the initialization of the 'ima' LSM. And,
register ima_inode_free_security() to free the ima_iint_cache structure, if
exists.

Replace integrity_iint_cache with ima_iint_cache in various places of the
IMA code. Also, replace integrity_inode_get() and integrity_iint_find(),
respectively with ima_inode_get() and ima_iint_find().

Finally, move the remaining IMA-specific flags
to security/integrity/ima/ima.h, since they are now unnecessary in the
common integrity layer.

Define a new structure for EVM-specific metadata, called evm_iint_cache,
and embed it in the inode security blob. Introduce evm_iint_inode() to
retrieve metadata, and register evm_inode_alloc_security() for the
inode_alloc_security LSM hook, to initialize the structure (before
splitting metadata, this task was done by iint_init_always()).

Keep the non-NULL checks after calling evm_iint_inode() except in
evm_inode_alloc_security(), to take into account inodes for which
security_inode_alloc() was not called. When using shared metadata,
obtaining a NULL pointer from integrity_iint_find() meant that the file
wasn't in the IMA policy. Now, because IMA and EVM use disjoint metadata,
the EVM status has to be stored for every inode regardless of the IMA
policy.

Given that from now on EVM relies on its own metadata, remove the iint
parameter from evm_verifyxattr(). Also, directly retrieve the iint in
evm_verify_hmac(), called by both evm_verifyxattr() and
evm_verify_current_integrity(), since now there is no performance penalty
in retrieving EVM metadata (constant time).

Replicate the management of the IMA_NEW_FILE flag, by introducing
evm_post_path_mknod() and evm_file_release() to respectively set and clear
the newly introduced flag EVM_NEW_FILE, at the same time IMA does. Like for
IMA, select CONFIG_SECURITY_PATH when EVM is enabled, to ensure that files
are marked as new.

Unlike ima_post_path_mknod(), evm_post_path_mknod() cannot check if a file
must be appraised. Thus, it marks all affected files. Also, it does not
clear EVM_NEW_FILE depending on i_version, but that is not a problem
because IMA_NEW_FILE is always cleared when set in ima_check_last_writer().

Move the EVM-specific flag EVM_IMMUTABLE_DIGSIG to
security/integrity/evm/evm.h, since that definition is now unnecessary in
the common integrity layer.

Finally, switch to the LSM reservation mechanism for the EVM xattr, and
consequently decrement by one the number of xattrs to allocate in
security_inode_init_security().

As for IMA, move hardcoded EVM function calls from various places in the
kernel to the LSM infrastructure, by introducing a new LSM named 'evm'
(last and always enabled like 'ima'). The order in the Makefile ensures
that 'evm' hooks are executed after 'ima' ones.

Make EVM functions as static (except for evm_inode_init_security(), which
is exported), and register them as hook implementations in init_evm_lsm().
Also move the inline functions evm_inode_remove_acl(),
evm_inode_post_remove_acl(), and evm_inode_post_set_acl() from the public
evm.h header to evm_main.c.

Unlike before (see commit to move IMA to the LSM infrastructure),
evm_inode_post_setattr(), evm_inode_post_set_acl(),
evm_inode_post_remove_acl(), and evm_inode_post_removexattr() are not
executed for private inodes.

Finally, add the LSM_ID_EVM case in lsm_list_modules_test.c

A few additional IMA hooks are needed to reset the cached appraisal
status, causing the file's integrity to be re-evaluated on next access.
Register these IMA-appraisal only functions separately from the rest of IMA
functions, as appraisal is a separate feature not necessarily enabled in
the kernel configuration.

Reuse the same approach as for other IMA functions, move hardcoded calls
from various places in the kernel to the LSM infrastructure. Declare the

init_ima_appraise_lsm(), called by init_ima_lsm().
