Add a landlock_restrict_self(2) flag to set the no_new_privs attribute
of the calling thread only after enforcement of the ruleset:
no_new_privs is set if and only if the call succeeds.  This removes the
need for a prior prctl(2) PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS call and guarantees that
a failed enforcement leaves the attribute unchanged.

Because no_new_privs is set by the call itself, the no_new_privs /
CAP_SYS_ADMIN requirement of landlock_restrict_self(2) is fulfilled by
construction, and the related EPERM check is skipped.

Unlike LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_LOG_SUBDOMAINS_OFF, this flag always
requires a valid ruleset: with a ruleset_fd of -1, such a call would be
nothing more than a Landlock-flavored prctl(2) PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, and
there is no valid use case for setting no_new_privs (possibly with
LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_TSYNC) without also enforcing Landlock
restrictions.  Rejecting these calls also keeps the option of giving
them a meaning later.

The attribute is only set past the last point of failure, just before
committing the new credentials.  When combined with
LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_TSYNC, no_new_privs is set on the sibling threads
as well, in their commit phase, with the same ordering.

Bump the Landlock ABI version to 11, and include the minimal related
test changes to keep the tests bisectable.

Whiteout objects are used in the upper layer of an OverlayFS to
indicate that the file with this name does not exist in the unified
view, even if it is present in one of the lower layer file systems.

For the userspace implementations of OverlayFS (fuse-overlayfs),
whiteout objects can be created from userspace as well:

* mknod(2) with S_IFCHR and makedev(0, 0)
* renameat2(2) with RENAME_WHITEOUT,
  creating the whiteout in the old place of the moved file.

This commit guards whiteout creation in both of these cases with
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_REG.  Whiteout objects are *not* considered
character devices and are not bound to a driver.

LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_REG describes the same permission class as a
whiteout object: creating one is the only S_IFCHR creation that the VFS
exempts from CAP_MKNOD, so it is as unprivileged as creating a regular
file, while LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_CHAR and
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_BLOCK keep meaning the creation of devices that
expose a kernel interface [1].

For the mknod(2) case, introduce a Landlock erratum.  The creation of
whiteout objects through mknod(2) was previously guarded using
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_CHAR, and it is now guarded using
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_REG.

For the renameat2(2) case, fix a bug: Before this commit, renameat2(2)
with RENAME_WHITEOUT would create a directory entry even when all
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_* rights were denied.

This does not affect normal renames within layered OverlayFS mounts:
When doing a regular rename() on a mounted fuse-overlayfs, it is the
fuse-overlayfs daemon that exercises renameat2() with RENAME_WHITEOUT,
and only the Landlock domain of that daemon is checked there.

Adds the UAPI for the quiet flags feature (but not the implementation
yet).

Even though currently LANDLOCK_ADD_RULE_QUIET only affects audit
logging, in the future this can also be used as part of a supervisor
mechanism, where it will also suppress denial notifications on a
per-object basis.  Thus the name is deliberately generic, as opposed to
e.g. LANDLOCK_ADD_RULE_LOG_QUIET.

According to pahole, even after adding the struct access_masks
quiet_masks in struct landlock_hierarchy, the u32 log_* bitfield still
only has a size of 2 bytes, so there's minimal wasted space.

Add support for a second fine-grained UDP access right.
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_CONNECT_SEND_UDP controls the ability to set the
remote port of a socket (via connect()) and to specify an explicit
destination when sending a datagram, to override any remote peer set on
a UDP socket (e.g. in sendto() or sendmsg()).  It will be useful for
applications that send datagrams, and for some servers too (those
creating per-client sockets, which want to receive traffic only from a
specific address).

Similarly as for bind(), this access control is performed when
configuring sockets, not in hot code paths.

Add detection of when autobind is about to be required, and deny the
operation if the process would not be allowed to call bind(0)
explicitly. Autobind can only be performed in udp_lib_get_port() from
code paths already controlled by LSM hooks: when connect()ing, sending a
first datagram, and in some splice() EOF edge case which, afaiu, can
only happen after a remote peer has been set. This invariant needs to be
preserved to keep bind policies actually enforced.

Add support for a first fine-grained UDP access right.
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_BIND_UDP controls the ability to set the local port
of a UDP socket (via bind()). It will be useful for servers (to start
receiving datagrams), and for some clients that need to use a specific
source port (e.g. mDNS requires to use port 5353)

For obvious performance concerns, access control is only enforced when
configuring sockets, not when using them for common send/recv
operations.

Bump ABI to allow userspace to detect and use this new right.

* Add a new access right LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_RESOLVE_UNIX, which
  controls the lookup operations for named UNIX domain sockets.  The
  resolution happens during connect() and sendmsg() (depending on
  socket type).
* Change access_mask_t from u16 to u32 (see below)
* Hook into the path lookup in unix_find_bsd() in af_unix.c, using a
  LSM hook.  Make policy decisions based on the new access rights
* Increment the Landlock ABI version.
* Minor test adaptations to keep the tests working.
* Document the design rationale for scoped access rights,
  and cross-reference it from the header documentation.

With this access right, access is granted if either of the following
conditions is met:

* The target socket's filesystem path was allow-listed using a
  LANDLOCK_RULE_PATH_BENEATH rule, *or*:
* The target socket was created in the same Landlock domain in which
  LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_RESOLVE_UNIX was restricted.

In case of a denial, connect() and sendmsg() return EACCES, which is
the same error as it is returned if the user does not have the write
bit in the traditional UNIX file system permissions of that file.

The access_mask_t type grows from u16 to u32 to make space for the new
access right.  This also doubles the size of struct layer_access_masks
from 32 byte to 64 byte.  To avoid memory layout inconsistencies between
architectures (especially m68k), pack and align struct access_masks [2].

Document the (possible future) interaction between scoped flags and
other access rights in struct landlock_ruleset_attr, and summarize the
rationale, as discussed in code review leading up to [3].

This feature was created with substantial discussion and input from
Justin Suess, Tingmao Wang and Mickaël Salaün.

LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_TSYNC does not allow
LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_LOG_SUBDOMAINS_OFF with ruleset_fd=-1, preventing
a multithreaded process from atomically propagating subdomain log muting
to all threads without creating a domain layer.  Relax the fd=-1
condition to accept TSYNC alongside LOG_SUBDOMAINS_OFF, and update the
documentation accordingly.

Add flag validation tests for all TSYNC combinations with ruleset_fd=-1,
and audit tests verifying both transition directions: muting via TSYNC
(logged to not logged) and override via TSYNC (not logged to logged).

- Mention the possibility to remove the random component of a socket's

Introduce the LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_TSYNC flag.  With this flag, a
given Landlock ruleset is applied to all threads of the calling
process, instead of only the current one.

Without this flag, multithreaded userspace programs currently resort
to using the nptl(7)/libpsx hack for multithreaded policy enforcement,
which is also used by libcap and for setuid(2).  Using this
userspace-based scheme, the threads of a process enforce the same
Landlock policy, but the resulting Landlock domains are still
separate.  The domains being separate causes multiple problems:

* When using Landlock's "scoped" access rights, the domain identity is
  used to determine whether an operation is permitted.  As a result,
  when using LANLDOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL, signaling between sibling threads
  stops working.  This is a problem for programming languages and
  frameworks which are inherently multithreaded (e.g. Go).

* In audit logging, the domains of separate threads in a process will
  get logged with different domain IDs, even when they are based on
  the same ruleset FD, which might confuse users.
