From 73a4f0407e67cdfdf55dd94f573ed4ee2d0d62fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Quentin Monnet Date: Sat, 23 May 2020 02:02:47 +0100 Subject: tools, bpftool: Make capability check account for new BPF caps Following the introduction of CAP_BPF, and the switch from CAP_SYS_ADMIN to other capabilities for various BPF features, update the capability checks (and potentially, drops) in bpftool for feature probes. Because bpftool and/or the system might not know of CAP_BPF yet, some caution is necessary: - If compiled and run on a system with CAP_BPF, check CAP_BPF, CAP_SYS_ADMIN, CAP_PERFMON, CAP_NET_ADMIN. - Guard against CAP_BPF being undefined, to allow compiling bpftool from latest sources on older systems. If the system where feature probes are run does not know of CAP_BPF, stop checking after CAP_SYS_ADMIN, as this should be the only capability required for all the BPF probing. - If compiled from latest sources on a system without CAP_BPF, but later executed on a newer system with CAP_BPF knowledge, then we only test CAP_SYS_ADMIN. Some probes may fail if the bpftool process has CAP_SYS_ADMIN but misses the other capabilities. The alternative would be to redefine the value for CAP_BPF in bpftool, but this does not look clean, and the case sounds relatively rare anyway. Note that libcap offers a cap_to_name() function to retrieve the name of a given capability (e.g. "cap_sys_admin"). We do not use it because deriving the names from the macros looks simpler than using cap_to_name() (doing a strdup() on the string) + cap_free() + handling the case of failed allocations, when we just want to use the name of the capability in an error message. The checks when compiling without libcap (i.e. root versus non-root) are unchanged. v2: - Do not allocate cap_list dynamically. - Drop BPF-related capabilities when running with "unprivileged", even if we didn't have the full set in the first place (in v1, we would skip dropping them in that case). - Keep track of what capabilities we have, print the names of the missing ones for privileged probing. - Attempt to drop only the capabilities we actually have. - Rename a couple variables.
