Merge tag 'landlock_v34' of ... jmorris/linux-security
Landlock provides for unprivileged application sandboxing. The goal of
Landlock is to enable to restrict ambient rights (e.g. global filesystem
access) for a set of processes. 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.

syscall numbers are now synced up across targets (starting from 403 the

IPC syscalls sem*, shm*, msg* got added where they were missing (except
for semop: only semtimedop got added), the new semctl, shmctl, msgctl
imply IPC_64, see

io_uring: add support for pre-mapped user IO buffers
a new syscall got added that uses the fd of /proc/<pid> as a stable

intended to eventually replace rt_sigqueueinfo, kill, tgkill and
rt_tgsigqueueinfo, see
linux commit 3eb39f47934f9d5a3027fe00d906a45fe3a15fad
signal: add pidfd_send_signal() syscall
on some targets (arm, m68k, s390x, sh) some previously missing syscall
numbers got added as well.
the syscalls take an additional flag argument, they were added in commit
f17d8b35452cab31a70d224964cd583fb2845449 and a RWF_HIPRI priority hint
flag was added to linux/fs.h in 97be7ebe53915af504fb491fb99f064c7cf3cb09.
the syscall is not allocated for microblaze and sh yet.
it was introduced for offloading copying between regular files
in linux commit 29732938a6289a15e907da234d6692a2ead71855
(microblaze and sh does not yet have the syscall number.)
this is mlock with a flags argument, new in linux commit
a8ca5d0ecbdde5cc3d7accacbd69968b0c98764e
as usual microblaze and sh don't have allocated syscall number yet.
new in linux v4.3 added for aarch64, arm, i386, mips, or1k, powerpc,
x32 and x86_64.
membarrier is a system wide memory barrier, moves most of the

this syscall allows fexecve to be implemented without /proc, it is new
in linux v3.19, added in commit 51f39a1f0cea1cacf8c787f652f26dfee9611874
(sh and microblaze do not have allocated syscall numbers yet)
added a x32 fix as well: the io_setup and io_submit syscalls are no
longer common with x86_64, so use the x32 specific numbers.
these syscalls are new in linux v3.18, bpf is present on all
supported archs except sh, kexec_file_load is only allocted for
x86_64 and x32 yet.
bpf was added in linux commit 99c55f7d47c0dc6fc64729f37bf435abf43f4c60
kexec_file_load syscall number was allocated in commit
f0895685c7fd8c938c91a9d8a6f7c11f22df58d2
these syscalls are new in linux v3.17 and present on all supported
archs except sh.
seccomp was added in commit 48dc92b9fc3926844257316e75ba11eb5c742b2c
it has operation, flags and pointer arguments (if flags==0 then it is
the same as prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP,...)), the uapi header for flag
definitions is linux/seccomp.h
getrandom was added in commit c6e9d6f38894798696f23c8084ca7edbf16ee895
it provides an entropy source when open("/dev/urandom",..) would fail,
the uapi header for flags is linux/random.h
memfd_create was added in commit 9183df25fe7b194563db3fec6dc3202a5855839c
it allows anon mmap to have an fd, that can be shared, sealed and needs no
mount point, the uapi header for flags is linux/memfd.h
linux 3.14 introduced sched_getattr and sched_setattr syscalls in
commit d50dde5a10f305253cbc3855307f608f8a3c5f73
and the related SCHED_DEADLINE scheduling policy in
commit aab03e05e8f7e26f51dee792beddcb5cca9215a5
but struct sched_attr "extended scheduling parameters data structure"
is not yet exported to userspace (necessary for using the syscalls)
so related uapi definitions are not added yet.
now public syscall.h only exposes __NR_* and SYS_* constants and the
variadic syscall function. no macros or inline functions, no
__syscall_ret or other internal details, no 16-/32-bit legacy syscall
renaming, etc. this logic has all been moved to src/internal/syscall.h
with the arch-specific parts in arch/$(ARCH)/syscall_arch.h, and the
amount of arch-specific stuff has been reduced to a minimum.
changes still need to be reviewed/double-checked. minimal testing on
i386 and mips has already been performed.
while musl itself requires a c99 compiler, some applications insist on
being compiled with c89 compilers, and use of "inline" in the headers
was breaking them. much of this had been avoided already by just
skipping the inline keyword in pre-c99 compilers or modes, but this
new unified solution is cleaner and may/should result in better code
generation in the default gcc configuration.
the arm syscall abi requires 64-bit arguments to be aligned on an even
register boundary. these new macros facilitate meeting the abi
requirement without imposing significant ugliness on the code.
this patch improves the correctness, simplicity, and size of
cancellation-related code. modulo any small errors, it should now be
completely conformant, safe, and resource-leak free.
the notion of entering and exiting cancellation-point context has been
completely eliminated and replaced with alternative syscall assembly
code for cancellable syscalls. the assembly is responsible for setting
up execution context information (stack pointer and address of the
syscall instruction) which the cancellation signal handler can use to
determine whether the interrupted code was in a cancellable state.
these changes eliminate race conditions in the previous generation of
cancellation handling code (whereby a cancellation request received
just prior to the syscall would not be processed, leaving the syscall
to block, potentially indefinitely), and remedy an issue where
non-cancellable syscalls made from signal handlers became cancellable
if the signal handler interrupted a cancellation point.
x86_64 asm is untested and may need a second try to get it right.
with this patch, the syscallN() functions are no longer needed; a
variadic syscall() macro allows syscalls with anywhere from 0 to 6
arguments to be made with a single macro name. also, manually casting
each non-integer argument with (long) is no longer necessary; the
casts are hidden in the macros.
some source files which depended on being able to define the old macro
SYSCALL_RETURNS_ERRNO have been modified to directly use __syscall()
instead of syscall(). references to SYSCALL_SIGSET_SIZE and SYSCALL_LL
have also been changed.
x86_64 has not been tested, and may need a follow-up commit to fix any
minor bugs/oversights.
this commit shuffles around the location of syscall definitions so
that we can make a syscall() library function with both SYS_* and
__NR_* style syscall names available to user applications, provides
the syscall() library function, and optimizes the code that performs
the actual inline syscalls in the library itself.
previously on i386 when built as PIC (shared library), syscalls were
incurring bus lock (lock prefix) overhead at entry and exit, due to
the way the ebx register was being loaded (xchg instruction with a
memory operand). now the xchg takes place between two registers.
further cleanup to arch/$(ARCH)/syscall.h is planned.
this was originally written for an early draft of the library where
non-standard functions would reside in a static library separate from
the shared libc.so, which would implement a pure standard. the idea
was not to depend on an implementation-dependent __syscall_ret
function in the main libc. but it turned out to be better to put
everything in a single library for both static and dynamic linking
uses, and thus the (incomplete) remnants of this feature were just
enlarging the source and binary.
