* selinux: remove the runtime disable functionalityPaul Moore2023-03-201-26/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After working with the larger SELinux-based distros for several years, we're finally at a place where we can disable the SELinux runtime disable functionality. The existing kernel deprecation notice explains the functionality and why we want to remove it: The selinuxfs "disable" node allows SELinux to be disabled at runtime prior to a policy being loaded into the kernel. If disabled via this mechanism, SELinux will remain disabled until the system is rebooted. The preferred method of disabling SELinux is via the "selinux=0" boot parameter, but the selinuxfs "disable" node was created to make it easier for systems with primitive bootloaders that did not allow for easy modification of the kernel command line. Unfortunately, allowing for SELinux to be disabled at runtime makes it difficult to secure the kernel's LSM hooks using the "__ro_after_init" feature. It is that last sentence, mentioning the '__ro_after_init' hardening, which is the real motivation for this change, and if you look at the diffstat you'll see that the impact of this patch reaches across all the different LSMs, helping prevent tampering at the LSM hook level. From a SELinux perspective, it is important to note that if you continue to disable SELinux via "/etc/selinux/config" it may appear that SELinux is disabled, but it is simply in an uninitialized state. If you load a policy with `load_policy -i`, you will see SELinux come alive just as if you had loaded the policy during early-boot. It is also worth noting that the "/sys/fs/selinux/disable" file is always writable now, regardless of the Kconfig settings, but writing to the file has no effect on the system, other than to display an error on the console if a non-zero/true value is written. Finally, in the several years where we have been working on deprecating this functionality, there has only been one instance of someone mentioning any user visible breakage. In this particular case it was an individual's kernel test system, and the workaround documented in the deprecation notice ("selinux=0" on the kernel command line) resolved the issue without problem.

* selinux: remove the 'checkreqprot' functionalityPaul Moore2023-03-201-23/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We originally promised that the SELinux 'checkreqprot' functionality would be removed no sooner than June 2021, and now that it is March 2023 it seems like it is a good time to do the final removal. The deprecation notice in the kernel provides plenty of detail on why 'checkreqprot' is not desirable, with the key point repeated below: This was a compatibility mechanism for legacy userspace and for the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag. However, if set to 1, it weakens security by allowing mappings to be made executable without authorization by policy. The default value of checkreqprot at boot was changed starting in Linux v4.4 to 0 (i.e. check the actual protection), and Android and Linux distributions have been explicitly writing a "0" to /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot during initialization for some time. Along with the official deprecation notice, we have been discussing this on-list and directly with several of the larger SELinux-based distros and everyone is happy to see this feature finally removed. In an attempt to catch all of the smaller, and DIY, Linux systems we have been writing a deprecation notice URL into the kernel log, along with a growing ssleep() penalty, when admins enabled checkreqprot at runtime or via the kernel command line. We have yet to have anyone come to us and raise an objection to the deprecation or planned removal. It is worth noting that while this patch removes the checkreqprot functionality, it leaves the user visible interfaces (kernel command line and selinuxfs file) intact, just inert. This should help prevent breakages with existing userspace tools that correctly, but unnecessarily, disable checkreqprot at boot or runtime. Admins that attempt to enable checkreqprot will be met with a removal message in the kernel log.

* dax: Kill DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPATDan Williams2021-11-251-22/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The /sys/class/dax compatibility option has shipped in the kernel for 4 years now which should be sufficient time for tools to abandon the old ABI in favor of the /sys/bus/dax device-model. Delete it now and see if anyone screams. Since this compatibility option shipped there has been more reports of users being surprised by the compat ABI than surprised by the "new", so the compat infrastructure has outlived its usefulness. Recall that /sys/bus/dax device-model is required for the dax kmem driver which allows PMEM to be used as "System RAM". The following projects were known to have a dependency on /sys/class/dax and have dropped their dependency as of the listed version: - ndctl (including libndctl, daxctl, and libdaxctl): v64+ - fio: v3.13+ - pmdk: v1.5.2+ As further evidence this option is no longer needed some distributions have already stopped enabling CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This driver only creates a bunch of platform devices sharing resources belonging to the PMC device. This is pretty much what MFD subsystem is for so move the driver there, renaming it to intel_pmc_bxt.c which should be more clear what it is. MFD subsystem provides nice helper APIs for subdevice creation so convert the driver to use those. Unfortunately the ACPI device includes separate resources for most of the subdevices so we cannot simply call mfd_add_devices() to create all of them but instead we need to call it separately for each device. The new MFD driver continues to expose two sysfs attributes that allow userspace to send IPC commands to the PMC/SCU to avoid breaking any existing applications that may use these. Generally this is bad idea so document this in the ABI documentation.

* | Documentation,selinux: deprecate setting checkreqprot to 1Stephen Smalley2020-02-101-0/+23
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Deprecate setting the SELinux checkreqprot tunable to 1 via kernel parameter or /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot. Setting it to 0 is left intact for compatibility since Android and some Linux distributions do so for security and treat an inability to set it as a fatal error. Eventually setting it to 0 will become a no-op and the kernel will stop using checkreqprot's value internally altogether. checkreqprot was originally introduced as a compatibility mechanism for legacy userspace and the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag. However, if set to 1, it weakens security by allowing mappings to be made executable without authorization by policy. The default value for the SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE config option was changed from 1 to 0 in commit 2a35d196c160e3 ("selinux: change CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE default") and both Android and Linux distributions began explicitly setting /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot to 0 some time ago.

* selinux: deprecate disabling SELinux and runtimePaul Moore2020-01-071-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Deprecate the CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE functionality. The code was originally developed to make it easier for Linux distributions to support architectures where adding parameters to the kernel command line was difficult. Unfortunately, supporting runtime disable meant we had to make some security trade-offs when it came to the LSM hooks, as documented in the Kconfig help text: NOTE: selecting this option will disable the '__ro_after_init' kernel hardening feature for security hooks. Please consider using the selinux=0 boot parameter instead of enabling this option. Fortunately it looks as if that the original motivation for the runtime disable functionality is gone, and Fedora/RHEL appears to be the only major distribution enabling this capability at build time so we are now taking steps to remove it entirely from the kernel. The first step is to mark the functionality as deprecated and print an error when it is used (what this patch is doing). As Fedora/RHEL makes progress in transitioning the distribution away from runtime disable, we will introduce follow-up patches over several kernel releases which will block for increasing periods of time when the runtime disable is used. Finally we will remove the option entirely once we believe all users have moved to the kernel cmdline approach.

No inversion semantics as before, but also no open draining, and allow the raw operations to affect lines used for interrupts as the caller supposedly knows what they are doing if they are getting the big hammer. - Rewrote the __inner_function() notation calls to names that make more sense. I just find this kind of code disturbing. - Drop the .irq_base() field from the gpiochip since now all IRQs are mapped dynamically. This is nice. - Support for .get_multiple() in the core driver API. This allows us to read several GPIO lines with a single register read. This has high value for some usecases: it can be used to create oscilloscopes and signal analyzers and other things that rely on reading several lines at exactly the same instant. Also a generally nice optimization. This uses the new assign_bit() macro from the bitops lib that was ACKed by Andrew Morton and is implemented for two drivers, one of them being the generic MMIO driver so everyone using that will be able to benefit from this. - Do not allow requests of Open Drain and Open Source setting of a GPIO line simultaneously. If the hardware actually supports enabling both at the same time the electrical result would be disastrous. - A new interrupt chip core helper. This will be helpful to deal with "banked" GPIOs, which means GPIO controllers with several logical blocks of GPIO inside them. This is several gpiochips per device in the device model, in contrast to the case when there is a 1-to-1 relationship between a device and a gpiochip. New drivers: - Maxim MAX3191x industrial serializer, a very interesting piece of professional I/O hardware. - Uniphier GPIO driver. This is the GPIO block from the recent Socionext (ex Fujitsu and Panasonic) platform. - Tegra 186 driver. This is based on the new banked GPIO infrastructure. Other improvements: - Some documentation improvements. - Wakeup support for the DesignWare DWAPB GPIO controller. - Reset line support on the DesignWare DWAPB GPIO controller. - Several non-critical bug fixes and improvements for the Broadcom BRCMSTB driver. - Misc non-critical bug fixes like exotic errorpaths, removal of dead code etc. - Explicit comments on fall-through switch() statements" * tag 'gpio-v4.15-1' of ssh://gitolite.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio: (65 commits) gpio: tegra186: Remove tegra186_gpio_lock_class gpio: rcar: Add r8a77995 (R-Car D3) support pinctrl: bcm2835: Fix some merge fallout gpio: Fix undefined lock_dep_class gpio: Automatically add lockdep keys gpio: Introduce struct gpio_irq_chip.first gpio: Disambiguate struct gpio_irq_chip.nested gpio: Add Tegra186 support gpio: Export gpiochip_irq_{map,unmap}() gpio: Implement tighter IRQ chip integration gpio: Move lock_key into struct gpio_irq_chip gpio: Move irq_valid_mask into struct gpio_irq_chip gpio: Move irq_nested into struct gpio_irq_chip gpio: Move irq_chained_parent to struct gpio_irq_chip gpio: Move irq_default_type to struct gpio_irq_chip gpio: Move irq_handler to struct gpio_irq_chip gpio: Move irqdomain into struct gpio_irq_chip gpio: Move irqchip into struct gpio_irq_chip gpio: Introduce struct gpio_irq_chip pinctrl: armada-37xx: remove unused variable ...

* ACPI / scan: Drop support for force_removeMichal Hocko2017-04-131-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/force_remove was presumably added to support auto offlining in the past. This is, however, inherently dangerous for some hotplugable resources like memory. The memory offlining fails when the memory is still in use and cannot be dropped or migrated. If we ignore the failure we are basically allowing for subtle memory corruption or a crash. We have actually noticed the later while hitting BUG() during the memory hotremove (remove_memory): ret = walk_memory_range(PFN_DOWN(start), PFN_UP(start + size - 1), NULL, check_memblock_offlined_cb); if (ret) BUG(); it took us quite non-trivial time realize that the customer had force_remove enabled. Even if the BUG was removed here and we could propagate the error up the call chain it wouldn't help at all because then we would hit a crash or a memory corruption later and harder to debug. So force_remove is unfixable for the memory hotremove. We haven't checked other hotplugable resources to be prone to a similar problems. Remove the force_remove functionality because it is not fixable currently. Keep the sysfs file and report an error if somebody tries to enable it. Encourage users to report about the missing functionality and work with them with an alternative solution.
