selinux: introduce an initial SID for early boot processes Currently, SELinux doesn't allow distinguishing between kernel threads and userspace processes that are started before the policy is first loaded - both get the label corresponding to the kernel SID. The only way a process that persists from early boot can get a meaningful label is by doing a voluntary dyntransition or re-executing itself. Reusing the kernel label for userspace processes is problematic for several reasons: 1. The kernel is considered to be a privileged domain and generally needs to have a wide range of permissions allowed to work correctly, which prevents the policy writer from effectively hardening against early boot processes that might remain running unintentionally after the policy is loaded (they represent a potential extra attack surface that should be mitigated). 2. Despite the kernel being treated as a privileged domain, the policy writer may want to impose certain special limitations on kernel threads that may conflict with the requirements of intentional early boot processes. For example, it is a good hardening practice to limit what executables the kernel can execute as usermode helpers and to confine the resulting usermode helper processes. However, a (legitimate) process surviving from early boot may need to execute a different set of executables. 3. As currently implemented, overlayfs remembers the security context of the process that created an overlayfs mount and uses it to bound subsequent operations on files using this context. If an overlayfs mount is created before the SELinux policy is loaded, these "mounter" checks are made against the kernel context, which may clash with restrictions on the kernel domain (see 2.). To resolve this, introduce a new initial SID (reusing the slot of the former "init" initial SID) that will be assigned to any userspace process started before the policy is first loaded. This is easy to do, as we can simply label any process that goes through the bprm_creds_for_exec LSM hook with the new init-SID instead of propagating the kernel SID from the parent. To provide backwards compatibility for existing policies that are unaware of this new semantic of the "init" initial SID, introduce a new policy capability "userspace_initial_context" and set the "init" SID to the same context as the "kernel" SID unless this capability is set by the policy.

selinux: Add netlink xperm support Reuse the existing extended permissions infrastructure to support policies based on the netlink message types. A new policy capability "netlink_xperm" is introduced. When disabled, the previous behaviour is preserved. That is, netlink_send will rely on the permission mappings defined in nlmsgtab.c (e.g, nlmsg_read for RTM_GETADDR on NETLINK_ROUTE). When enabled, the mappings are ignored and the generic "nlmsg" permission is used instead. The new "nlmsg" permission is an extended permission. The 16 bits of the extended permission are mapped to the nlmsg_type field. Example policy on Android, preventing regular apps from accessing the device's MAC address and ARP table, but allowing this access to privileged apps, looks as follows: allow netdomain self:netlink_route_socket { create read getattr write setattr lock append connect getopt setopt shutdown nlmsg }; allowxperm netdomain self:netlink_route_socket nlmsg ~{ RTM_GETLINK RTM_GETNEIGH RTM_GETNEIGHTBL }; allowxperm priv_app self:netlink_route_socket nlmsg { RTM_GETLINK RTM_GETNEIGH RTM_GETNEIGHTBL }; The constants in the example above (e.g., RTM_GETLINK) are explicitly defined in the policy. It is possible to generate policies to support kernels that may or may not have the capability enabled by generating a rule for each scenario. For instance: allow domain self:netlink_audit_socket nlmsg_read; allow domain self:netlink_audit_socket nlmsg; allowxperm domain self:netlink_audit_socket nlmsg { AUDIT_GET }; The approach of defining a new permission ("nlmsg") instead of relying on the existing permissions (e.g., "nlmsg_read", "nlmsg_readpriv" or "nlmsg_tty_audit") has been preferred because: 1. This is similar to the other extended permission ("ioctl"); 2. With the new extended permission, the coarse-grained mapping is not necessary anymore. It could eventually be removed, which would be impossible if the extended permission was defined below these. 3. Having a single extra extended permission considerably simplifies the implementation here and in libselinux.

selinux: support wildcard match in genfscon Currently, genfscon only supports string prefix match to label files. Thus, labeling numerous dynamic sysfs entries requires many specific path rules. For example, labeling device paths such as `/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.1/<...>/0000:04:00.1/wakeup` requires listing all specific PCI paths, which is challenging to maintain. While user-space restorecon can handle these paths with regular expression rules, relabeling thousands of paths under sysfs after it is mounted is inefficient compared to using genfscon. This commit adds wildcard matching to genfscon to make rules more efficient and expressive. This new behavior is enabled by genfs_seclabel_wildcard capability. With this capability, genfscon does wildcard matching instead of prefix matching. When multiple wildcard rules match against a path, then the longest rule (determined by the length of the rule string) will be applied. If multiple rules of the same length match, the first matching rule encountered in the given genfscon policy will be applied. Users are encouraged to write longer, more explicit path rules to avoid relying on this behavior. This change resulted in nice real-world performance improvements. For example, boot times on test Android devices were reduced by 15%. This improvement is due to the elimination of the "restorecon -R /sys" step during boot, which takes more than two seconds in the worst case.
