b1d9e6b064 LSM: Switch to lists of hooks
Instead of using a vector of security operations
with explicit, special case stacking of the capability
and yama hooks use lists of hooks with capability and
yama hooks included as appropriate.

The security_operations structure is no longer required.
Instead, there is a union of the function pointers that
allows all the hooks lists to use a common mechanism for
list management while retaining typing. Each module
supplies an array describing the hooks it provides instead
of a sparsely populated security_operations structure.
The description includes the element that gets put on
the hook list, avoiding the issues surrounding individual
element allocation.

The method for registering security modules is changed to
reflect the information available. The method for removing
a module, currently only used by SELinux, has also changed.
It should be generic now, however if there are potential
race conditions based on ordering of hook removal that needs
to be addressed by the calling module.

The security hooks are called from the lists and the first
failure is returned.

e20b043a69 LSM: Add security module hook list heads
Add a list header for each security hook. They aren't used until
later in the patch series. They are grouped together in a structure
so that there doesn't need to be an external address for each.

Macro-ize the initialization of the security_operations
for each security module in anticipation of changing out
the security_operations structure.

3c4ed7bdf5 LSM: Split security.h
The security.h header file serves two purposes,
interfaces for users of the security modules and
interfaces for security modules. Users of the
security modules don't need to know about what's
in the security_operations structure, so pull it
out into it's own header, lsm_hooks.h

ee18d64c1f KEYS: Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring on its parent [try #6]
Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent.  This
replaces the parent's session keyring.  Because the COW credential code does
not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the
change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again.  Normally this
will be after a wait*() syscall.

To support this, three new security hooks have been provided:
cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in
the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if
the process may replace its parent's session keyring.

The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details
as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and
the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it.

Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path.
This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of
which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.  This allows the
replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace
execution.

This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and
the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to
alter the parent process's PAG membership.  However, since kAFS doesn't use
PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session
keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed
the newpag flag.

This can be tested with the following program:

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <keyutils.h>

	#define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT	18

	#define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0)

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		key_serial_t keyring, key;
		long ret;

		keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]);
		OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring");

		key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring);
		OSERROR(key, "add_key");

		ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT);
		OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT");

		return 0;
	}

Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like:

	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
	355907932 --alswrv   4043    -1   \_ keyring: _uid.4043
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
	1055658746 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag hello
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: hello
	340417692 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a

Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named
'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

TOMOYO requires "allow_execute" permission of a pathname passed to do_execve()
but does not require "allow_read" permission of that pathname.
Let's consider 3 patterns (statically linked, dynamically linked,
shell script). This description is to some degree simplified.

  $ cat hello.c
  #include <stdio.h>
  int main() {
          printf("Hello\n");
          return 0;
  }
  $ cat hello.sh
  #! /bin/sh
  echo "Hello"
  $ gcc -static -o hello-static hello.c
  $ gcc -o hello-dynamic hello.c
  $ chmod 755 hello.sh

Case 1 -- Executing hello-static from bash.

  (1) The bash process calls fork() and the child process requests
      do_execve("hello-static").

  (2) The kernel checks "allow_execute hello-static" from "bash" domain.

  (3) The kernel calculates "bash hello-static" as the domain to transit to.

  (4) The kernel overwrites the child process by "hello-static".

  (5) The child process transits to "bash hello-static" domain.

  (6) The "hello-static" starts and finishes.

Case 2 -- Executing hello-dynamic from bash.

  (1) The bash process calls fork() and the child process requests
      do_execve("hello-dynamic").

  (2) The kernel checks "allow_execute hello-dynamic" from "bash" domain.

  (3) The kernel calculates "bash hello-dynamic" as the domain to transit to.

  (4) The kernel checks "allow_read ld-linux.so" from "bash hello-dynamic"
      domain. I think permission to access ld-linux.so should be charged
      hello-dynamic program, for "hello-dynamic needs ld-linux.so" is not
      a fault of bash program.

  (5) The kernel overwrites the child process by "hello-dynamic".

  (6) The child process transits to "bash hello-dynamic" domain.

  (7) The "hello-dynamic" starts and finishes.

Case 3 -- Executing hello.sh from bash.

  (1) The bash process calls fork() and the child process requests
      do_execve("hello.sh").

  (2) The kernel checks "allow_execute hello.sh" from "bash" domain.

  (3) The kernel calculates "bash hello.sh" as the domain to transit to.

  (4) The kernel checks "allow_read /bin/sh" from "bash hello.sh" domain.
      I think permission to access /bin/sh should be charged hello.sh program,
      for "hello.sh needs /bin/sh" is not a fault of bash program.

  (5) The kernel overwrites the child process by "/bin/sh".

  (6) The child process transits to "bash hello.sh" domain.

  (7) The "/bin/sh" requests open("hello.sh").

  (8) The kernel checks "allow_read hello.sh" from  "bash hello.sh" domain.

  (9) The "/bin/sh" starts and finishes.

Whether a file is interpreted as a program or not depends on an application.
The kernel cannot know whether the file is interpreted as a program or not.
Thus, TOMOYO treats "hello-static" "hello-dynamic" "ld-linux.so" "hello.sh"
"/bin/sh" equally as merely files; no distinction between executable and
non-executable. Therefore, TOMOYO doesn't check DAC's execute permission.
TOMOYO checks "allow_read" permission instead.

Calling do_execve() is a bold gesture that an old program's instance (i.e.
current process) is ready to be overwritten by a new program and is ready to
transfer control to the new program. To split purview of programs, TOMOYO
requires "allow_execute" permission of the new program against the old
program's instance and performs domain transition. If do_execve() succeeds,
the old program is no longer responsible against the consequence of the new
program's behavior. Only the new program is responsible for all consequences.

But TOMOYO doesn't require "allow_read" permission of the new program.
If TOMOYO requires "allow_read" permission of the new program, TOMOYO will
allow an attacker (who hijacked the old program's instance) to open the new
program and steal data from the new program. Requiring "allow_read" permission
will widen purview of the old program.

Not requiring "allow_read" permission of the new program against the old
program's instance is my design for reducing purview of the old program.
To be able to know whether the current process is in do_execve() or not,
I want to add in_execve flag to "task_struct".
