sh: rework sync_file_range ABI

2024-07-05T07:14:48Z

commit 30766f1105d6d2459c3b9fe34a3e52b637a72950 upstream. The unusual function calling conventions on SuperH ended up causing sync_file_range to have the wrong argument order, with the 'flags' argument getting sorted before 'nbytes' by the compiler. In userspace, I found that musl, glibc, uclibc and strace all expect the normal calling conventions with 'nbytes' last, so changing the kernel to match them should make all of those work. In order to be able to also fix libc implementations to work with existing kernels, they need to be able to tell which ABI is used. An easy way to do this is to add yet another system call using the sync_file_range2 ABI that works the same on all architectures. Old user binaries can now work on new kernels, and new binaries can try the new sync_file_range2() to work with new kernels or fall back to the old sync_file_range() version if that doesn't exist.

exit/bdflush: Remove the deprecated bdflush system call

2021-07-12T20:17:47Z

The bdflush system call has been deprecated for a very long time. Recently Michael Schmitz tested[1] and found that the last known caller of of the bdflush system call is unaffected by it's removal. Since the code is not needed delete it.

quota: Disable quotactl_path syscall

2021-05-17T12:39:56Z

In commit fa8b90070a80 ("quota: wire up quotactl_path") we have wired up new quotactl_path syscall. However some people in LWN discussion have objected that the path based syscall is missing dirfd and flags argument which is mostly standard for contemporary path based syscalls. Indeed they have a point and after a discussion with Christian Brauner and Sascha Hauer I've decided to disable the syscall for now and update its API. Since there is no userspace currently using that syscall and it hasn't been released in any major release, we should be fine.

Merge tag 'landlock_v34' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security

2021-05-02T01:50:44Z

Pull Landlock LSM from James Morris: "Add Landlock, a new LSM from Mickaël Salaün. Briefly, Landlock provides for unprivileged application sandboxing. From Mickaël's cover letter: "The goal of Landlock is to enable to restrict ambient rights (e.g. global filesystem access) for a set of processes. Because Landlock is a stackable LSM [1], it makes possible to create safe security sandboxes as new security layers in addition to the existing system-wide access-controls. This kind of sandbox is expected to help mitigate the security impact of bugs or unexpected/malicious behaviors in user-space applications. Landlock empowers any process, including unprivileged ones, to securely restrict themselves. Landlock is inspired by seccomp-bpf but instead of filtering syscalls and their raw arguments, a Landlock rule can restrict the use of kernel objects like file hierarchies, according to the kernel semantic. Landlock also takes inspiration from other OS sandbox mechanisms: XNU Sandbox, FreeBSD Capsicum or OpenBSD Pledge/Unveil. In this current form, Landlock misses some access-control features. This enables to minimize this patch series and ease review. This series still addresses multiple use cases, especially with the combined use of seccomp-bpf: applications with built-in sandboxing, init systems, security sandbox tools and security-oriented APIs [2]" The cover letter and v34 posting is here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-security-module/20210422154123.13086-1-mic@digikod.net/ See also: https://landlock.io/ This code has had extensive design discussion and review over several years" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/50db058a-7dde-441b-a7f9-f6837fe8b69f@schaufler-ca.com/ [1] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/f646e1c7-33cf-333f-070c-0a40ad0468cd@digikod.net/ [2] * tag 'landlock_v34' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security: landlock: Enable user space to infer supported features landlock: Add user and kernel documentation samples/landlock: Add a sandbox manager example selftests/landlock: Add user space tests landlock: Add syscall implementations arch: Wire up Landlock syscalls fs,security: Add sb_delete hook landlock: Support filesystem access-control LSM: Infrastructure management of the superblock landlock: Add ptrace restrictions landlock: Set up the security framework and manage credentials landlock: Add ruleset and domain management landlock: Add object management
