2025-12-02ipe: Add AT_EXECVE_CHECK support for script enforcementYanzhu Huang
This patch adds a new ipe_bprm_creds_for_exec() hook that integrates with the AT_EXECVE_CHECK mechanism. To enable script enforcement, interpreters need to incorporate the AT_EXECVE_CHECK flag when calling execveat() on script files before execution. When a userspace interpreter calls execveat() with the AT_EXECVE_CHECK flag, this hook triggers IPE policy evaluation on the script file. The hook only triggers IPE when bprm->is_check is true, ensuring it's being called from an AT_EXECVE_CHECK context. It then builds an evaluation context for an IPE_OP_EXEC operation and invokes IPE policy. The kernel returns the policy decision to the interpreter, which can then decide whether to proceed with script execution. This extends IPE enforcement to indirectly executed scripts, permitting trusted scripts to execute while denying untrusted ones.

2025-10-22lsm: replace the name field with a pointer to the lsm_id structPaul Moore
Reduce the duplication between the lsm_id struct and the DEFINE_LSM() definition by linking the lsm_id struct directly into the individual LSM's DEFINE_LSM() instance. Linking the lsm_id into the LSM definition also allows us to simplify the security_add_hooks() function by removing the code which populates the lsm_idlist[] array and moving it into the normal LSM startup code where the LSM list is parsed and the individual LSMs are enabled, making for a cleaner implementation with less overhead at boot.

2024-08-20scripts: add boot policy generation programDeven Bowers
Enables an IPE policy to be enforced from kernel start, enabling access control based on trust from kernel startup. This is accomplished by transforming an IPE policy indicated by CONFIG_IPE_BOOT_POLICY into a c-string literal that is parsed at kernel startup as an unsigned policy.

2024-08-20ipe: enable support for fs-verity as a trust providerFan Wu
Enable IPE policy authors to indicate trust for a singular fsverity file, identified by the digest information, through "fsverity_digest" and all files using valid fsverity builtin signatures via "fsverity_signature". This enables file-level integrity claims to be expressed in IPE, allowing individual files to be authorized, giving some flexibility for policy authors. Such file-level claims are important to be expressed for enforcing the integrity of packages, as well as address some of the scalability issues in a sole dm-verity based solution (# of loop back devices, etc). This solution cannot be done in userspace as the minimum threat that IPE should mitigate is an attacker downloads malicious payload with all required dependencies. These dependencies can lack the userspace check, bypassing the protection entirely. A similar attack succeeds if the userspace component is replaced with a version that does not perform the check. As a result, this can only be done in the common entry point - the kernel.

2024-08-20ipe: introduce 'boot_verified' as a trust providerFan Wu
IPE is designed to provide system level trust guarantees, this usually implies that trust starts from bootup with a hardware root of trust, which validates the bootloader. After this, the bootloader verifies the kernel and the initramfs. As there's no currently supported integrity method for initramfs, and it's typically already verified by the bootloader. This patch introduces a new IPE property `boot_verified` which allows author of IPE policy to indicate trust for files from initramfs. The implementation of this feature utilizes the newly added `initramfs_populated` hook. This hook marks the superblock of the rootfs after the initramfs has been unpacked into it. Before mounting the real rootfs on top of the initramfs, initramfs script will recursively remove all files and directories on the initramfs. This is typically implemented by using switch_root(8) (https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/switch_root.8.html). Therefore the initramfs will be empty and not accessible after the real rootfs takes over. It is advised to switch to a different policy that doesn't rely on the `boot_verified` property after this point. This ensures that the trust policies remain relevant and effective throughout the system's operation.

2024-08-20ipe: add LSM hooks on execution and kernel readDeven Bowers
IPE's initial goal is to control both execution and the loading of kernel modules based on the system's definition of trust. It accomplishes this by plugging into the security hooks for bprm_check_security, file_mprotect, mmap_file, kernel_load_data, and kernel_read_data.

2024-08-19lsm: add IPE lsmDeven Bowers
Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE) is an LSM that provides an complimentary approach to Mandatory Access Control than existing LSMs today. Existing LSMs have centered around the concept of access to a resource should be controlled by the current user's credentials. IPE's approach, is that access to a resource should be controlled by the system's trust of a current resource. The basis of this approach is defining a global policy to specify which resource can be trusted.
