33 * union security_list_options - Linux Security Module hook function list
35 * Security hooks for program execution operations.
37 * @bprm_creds_for_exec:
38 * If the setup in prepare_exec_creds did not setup @bprm->cred->security
39 * properly for executing @bprm->file, update the LSM's portion of
40 * @bprm->cred->security to be what commit_creds needs to install for the
41 * new program. This hook may also optionally check permissions
42 * (e.g. for transitions between security domains).
43 * The hook must set @bprm->secureexec to 1 if AT_SECURE should be set to
44 * request libc enable secure mode.
45 * @bprm contains the linux_binprm structure.
46 * Return 0 if the hook is successful and permission is granted.
47 * @bprm_creds_from_file:
48 * If @file is setpcap, suid, sgid or otherwise marked to change
49 * privilege upon exec, update @bprm->cred to reflect that change.
50 * This is called after finding the binary that will be executed.
51 * without an interpreter. This ensures that the credentials will not
52 * be derived from a script that the binary will need to reopen, which
53 * when reopend may end up being a completely different file. This
54 * hook may also optionally check permissions (e.g. for transitions
55 * between security domains).
56 * The hook must set @bprm->secureexec to 1 if AT_SECURE should be set to
57 * request libc enable secure mode.
58 * The hook must add to @bprm->per_clear any personality flags that
59 * should be cleared from current->personality.
60 * @bprm contains the linux_binprm structure.
61 * Return 0 if the hook is successful and permission is granted.
62 * @bprm_check_security:
63 * This hook mediates the point when a search for a binary handler will
64 * begin. It allows a check against the @bprm->cred->security value
65 * which was set in the preceding creds_for_exec call. The argv list and
66 * envp list are reliably available in @bprm. This hook may be called
67 * multiple times during a single execve.
68 * @bprm contains the linux_binprm structure.
69 * Return 0 if the hook is successful and permission is granted.
70 * @bprm_committing_creds:
71 * Prepare to install the new security attributes of a process being
72 * transformed by an execve operation, based on the old credentials
73 * pointed to by @current->cred and the information set in @bprm->cred by
74 * the bprm_creds_for_exec hook. @bprm points to the linux_binprm
75 * structure. This hook is a good place to perform state changes on the
76 * process such as closing open file descriptors to which access will no
77 * longer be granted when the attributes are changed. This is called
78 * immediately before commit_creds().
79 * @bprm_committed_creds:
80 * Tidy up after the installation of the new security attributes of a
81 * process being transformed by an execve operation. The new credentials
82 * have, by this point, been set to @current->cred. @bprm points to the
83 * linux_binprm structure. This hook is a good place to perform state
84 * changes on the process such as clearing out non-inheritable signal
85 * state. This is called immediately after commit_creds().
87 * Security hooks for mount using fs_context.
88 * [See also Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.rst]
91 * Allocate and attach a security structure to sc->security. This pointer
92 * is initialised to NULL by the caller.
93 * @fc indicates the new filesystem context.
94 * @src_fc indicates the original filesystem context.
95 * @fs_context_parse_param:
96 * Userspace provided a parameter to configure a superblock. The LSM may
97 * reject it with an error and may use it for itself, in which case it
98 * should return 0; otherwise it should return -ENOPARAM to pass it on to
100 * @fc indicates the filesystem context.
101 * @param The parameter
103 * Security hooks for filesystem operations.
105 * @sb_alloc_security:
106 * Allocate and attach a security structure to the sb->s_security field.
107 * The s_security field is initialized to NULL when the structure is

122 * Return 0 if permission is granted.
124 * Check permission before an object specified by @dev_name is mounted on
125 * the mount point named by @nd. For an ordinary mount, @dev_name
126 * identifies a device if the file system type requires a device. For a
127 * remount (@flags & MS_REMOUNT), @dev_name is irrelevant. For a
128 * loopback/bind mount (@flags & MS_BIND), @dev_name identifies the
129 * pathname of the object being mounted.

131 * @path contains the path for mount point object.
132 * @type contains the filesystem type.

137 * Allow mount option data to be copied prior to parsing by the filesystem,
138 * so that the security module can extract security-specific mount
139 * options cleanly (a filesystem may modify the data e.g. with strsep()).
140 * This also allows the original mount data to be stripped of security-
141 * specific options to avoid having to make filesystems aware of them.
142 * @orig the original mount data copied from userspace.
143 * @copy copied data which will be passed to the security module.
144 * Returns 0 if the copy was successful.
146 * Extracts security system specific mount options and verifies no changes
147 * are being made to those options.
148 * @sb superblock being remounted
149 * @data contains the filesystem-specific data.

163 * current root (put_old).
164 * @new_path contains the path for the new root (new_root).

172 * @oldsb old superblock which contain information to clone
173 * @newsb new superblock which needs filled in
175 * Add one mount @option to @mnt_opts.
176 * @sb_parse_opts_str:
177 * Parse a string of security data filling in the opts structure
178 * @options string containing all mount options known by the LSM
179 * @opts binary data structure usable by the LSM
181 * Check permission before a mount is moved.
182 * @from_path indicates the mount that is going to be moved.
183 * @to_path indicates the mountpoint that will be mounted upon.
184 * @dentry_init_security:
185 * Compute a context for a dentry as the inode is not yet available
186 * since NFSv4 has no label backed by an EA anyway.
187 * @dentry dentry to use in calculating the context.
188 * @mode mode used to determine resource type.
189 * @name name of the last path component used to create file
190 * @ctx pointer to place the pointer to the resulting context in.
191 * @ctxlen point to place the length of the resulting context.
192 * @dentry_create_files_as:
193 * Compute a context for a dentry as the inode is not yet available
194 * and set that context in passed in creds so that new files are
195 * created using that context. Context is calculated using the
196 * passed in creds and not the creds of the caller.
197 * @dentry dentry to use in calculating the context.
198 * @mode mode used to determine resource type.
199 * @name name of the last path component used to create file
200 * @old creds which should be used for context calculation
201 * @new creds to modify
204 * Security hooks for inode operations.

207 * Allocate and attach a security structure to @inode->i_security. The
208 * i_security field is initialized to NULL when the inode structure is
210 * @inode contains the inode structure.
211 * Return 0 if operation was successful.
212 * @inode_free_security:
213 * @inode contains the inode structure.
214 * Deallocate the inode security structure and set @inode->i_security to
216 * @inode_init_security:
217 * Obtain the security attribute name suffix and value to set on a newly
218 * created inode and set up the incore security field for the new inode.
219 * This hook is called by the fs code as part of the inode creation
220 * transaction and provides for atomic labeling of the inode, unlike
221 * the post_create/mkdir/... hooks called by the VFS. The hook function
222 * is expected to allocate the name and value via kmalloc, with the caller
223 * being responsible for calling kfree after using them.
224 * If the security module does not use security attributes or does
225 * not wish to put a security attribute on this particular inode,
226 * then it should return -EOPNOTSUPP to skip this processing.

228 * @dir contains the inode structure of the parent directory.
229 * @qstr contains the last path component of the new object

486 * @kn the new child kernfs node
488 * Security hooks for file operations
491 * Check file permissions before accessing an open file. This hook is
492 * called by various operations that read or write files. A security
493 * module can use this hook to perform additional checking on these
494 * operations, e.g. to revalidate permissions on use to support privilege
495 * bracketing or policy changes. Notice that this hook is used when the
496 * actual read/write operations are performed, whereas the
497 * inode_security_ops hook is called when a file is opened (as well as
498 * many other operations).
499 * Caveat: Although this hook can be used to revalidate permissions for
500 * various system call operations that read or write files, it does not
501 * address the revalidation of permissions for memory-mapped files.
502 * Security modules must handle this separately if they need such
504 * @file contains the file structure being accessed.
505 * @mask contains the requested permissions.
506 * Return 0 if permission is granted.

522 * simple integer value. When @arg represents a user space pointer, it
523 * should never be used by the security module.
524 * Return 0 if permission is granted.
526 * Check permissions for a mmap operation at @addr.
527 * @addr contains virtual address that will be used for the operation.

549 * Return 0 if permission is granted.
551 * Check permission before allowing the file operation specified by @cmd
552 * from being performed on the file @file. Note that @arg sometimes
553 * represents a user space pointer; in other cases, it may be a simple
