Pull LSM updates from Paul Moore:
 "Seven patches for the LSM layer and we've got a mix of trivial and
  significant patches. Highlights below, starting with the smaller bits
  first so they don't get lost in the discussion of the larger items:

   - Remove some redundant NULL pointer checks in the common LSM audit
     code.

   - Ratelimit the lockdown LSM's access denial messages.

     With this change there is a chance that the last visible lockdown
     message on the console is outdated/old, but it does help preserve
     the initial series of lockdown denials that started the denial
     message flood and my gut feeling is that these might be the more
     valuable messages.

   - Open userfaultfds as readonly instead of read/write.

     While this code obviously lives outside the LSM, it does have a
     noticeable impact on the LSMs with Ondrej explaining the situation
     in the commit description. It is worth noting that this patch
     languished on the VFS list for over a year without any comments
     (objections or otherwise) so I took the liberty of pulling it into
     the LSM tree after giving fair notice. It has been in linux-next
     since the end of August without any noticeable problems.

   - Add a LSM hook for user namespace creation, with implementations
     for both the BPF LSM and SELinux.

     Even though the changes are fairly small, this is the bulk of the
     diffstat as we are also including BPF LSM selftests for the new
     hook.

     It's also the most contentious of the changes in this pull request
     with Eric Biederman NACK'ing the LSM hook multiple times during its
     development and discussion upstream. While I've never taken NACK's
     lightly, I'm sending these patches to you because it is my belief
     that they are of good quality, satisfy a long-standing need of
     users and distros, and are in keeping with the existing nature of
     the LSM layer and the Linux Kernel as a whole.

     The patches in implement a LSM hook for user namespace creation
     that allows for a granular approach, configurable at runtime, which
     enables both monitoring and control of user namespaces. The general
     consensus has been that this is far preferable to the other
     solutions that have been adopted downstream including outright
     removal from the kernel, disabling via system wide sysctls, or
     various other out-of-tree mechanisms that users have been forced to
     adopt since we haven't been able to provide them an upstream
     solution for their requests. Eric has been steadfast in his
     objections to this LSM hook, explaining that any restrictions on
     the user namespace could have significant impact on userspace.
     While there is the possibility of impacting userspace, it is
     important to note that this solution only impacts userspace when it
     is requested based on the runtime configuration supplied by the
     distro/admin/user. Frederick (the pathset author), the LSM/security
     community, and myself have tried to work with Eric during
     development of this patchset to find a mutually acceptable
     solution, but Eric's approach and unwillingness to engage in a
     meaningful way have made this impossible. I have CC'd Eric directly
     on this pull request so he has a chance to provide his side of the
     story; there have been no objections outside of Eric's"

io-uring cmd support was added through ee692a21e9bf ("fs,io_uring:
add infrastructure for uring-cmd"), this extended the struct
file_operations to allow a new command which each subsystem can use
to enable command passthrough. Add an LSM specific for the command
passthrough which enables LSMs to inspect the command details.

This was discussed long ago without no clear pointer for something
conclusive, so this enables LSMs to at least reject this new file
operation.

User namespaces are an effective tool to allow programs to run with
permission without requiring the need for a program to run as root. User
namespaces may also be used as a sandboxing technique. However, attackers
sometimes leverage user namespaces as an initial attack vector to perform
some exploit. [1,2,3]

While it is not the unprivileged user namespace functionality, which
causes the kernel to be exploitable, users/administrators might want to
more granularly limit or at least monitor how various processes use this
functionality, while vulnerable kernel subsystems are being patched.

Preventing user namespace already creation comes in a few of forms in
order of granularity:

        1. /proc/sys/user/max_user_namespaces sysctl
        2. Distro specific patch(es)
        3. CONFIG_USER_NS

To block a task based on its attributes, the LSM hook cred_prepare is a
decent candidate for use because it provides more granular control, and
it is called before create_user_ns():

        cred = prepare_creds()
                security_prepare_creds()
                        call_int_hook(cred_prepare, ...
        if (cred)
                create_user_ns(cred)

Since security_prepare_creds() is meant for LSMs to copy and prepare
credentials, access control is an unintended use of the hook. [4]
Further, security_prepare_creds() will always return a ENOMEM if the
hook returns any non-zero error code.

This hook also does not handle the clone3 case which requires us to
access a user space pointer to know if we're in the CLONE_NEW_USER
call path which may be subject to a TOCTTOU attack.

Lastly, cred_prepare is called in many call paths, and a targeted hook
further limits the frequency of calls which is a beneficial outcome.
Therefore introduce a new function security_create_user_ns() with an
accompanying userns_create LSM hook.

With the new userns_create hook, users will have more control over the
observability and access control over user namespace creation. Users
should expect that normal operation of user namespaces will behave as
usual, and only be impacted when controls are implemented by users or
administrators.

This hook takes the prepared creds for LSM authors to write policy
against. On success, the new namespace is applied to credentials,
otherwise an error is returned.

Give the LSM framework the ability to filter setgroups() syscalls. There
are already analagous hooks for the set*uid() and set*gid() syscalls.
The SafeSetID LSM will use this new hook to ensure setgroups() calls are
allowed by the installed security policy. Tested by putting print
statement in security_task_fix_setgroups() hook and confirming that it
gets hit when userspace does a setgroups() syscall.

In order to be able to identify a file exchange with renameat2(2) and
RENAME_EXCHANGE, which will be useful for Landlock [1], propagate the
rename flags to LSMs.  This may also improve performance because of the
switch from two set of LSM hook calls to only one, and because LSMs
using this hook may optimize the double check (e.g. only one lock,
reduce the number of path walks).

AppArmor, Landlock and Tomoyo are updated to leverage this change.  This
should not change the current behavior (same check order), except
(different level of) speed boosts.

In order to be able to identify a file exchange with renameat2(2) and
RENAME_EXCHANGE, which will be useful for Landlock [1], propagate the
rename flags to LSMs.  This may also improve performance because of the
switch from two set of LSM hook calls to only one, and because LSMs
using this hook may optimize the double check (e.g. only one lock,
reduce the number of path walks).

AppArmor, Landlock and Tomoyo are updated to leverage this change.  This
should not change the current behavior (same check order), except
(different level of) speed boosts.

The struct security_hook_list member lsm is assigned in
security_add_hooks() with string literals passed from the individual
security modules.  Declare the function parameter and the struct member
const to signal their immutability.

security_sctp_assoc_established() is added to replace
security_inet_conn_established() called in
sctp_sf_do_5_1E_ca(), so that asoc can be accessed in security
subsystem and save the peer secid to asoc-&gt;peer_secid.

<title>lsm: security_task_getsecid_subj() -&gt; security_current_getsecid_subj()</title>

<content type='text'>
The security_task_getsecid_subj() LSM hook invites misuse by allowing
callers to specify a task even though the hook is only safe when the
current task is referenced.  Fix this by removing the task_struct
argument to the hook, requiring LSM implementations to use the
current task.  While we are changing the hook declaration we also
rename the function to security_current_getsecid_subj() in an effort
to reinforce that the hook captures the subjective credentials of the
current task and not an arbitrary task on the system.
