Extend the task avdcache to also cache whether the task SID is both permissive and neveraudit, and return immediately if so in both selinux_inode_getattr() and selinux_inode_permission(). The same approach could be applied to many of the hook functions although the avdcache would need to be updated for more than directory search checks in order for this optimization to be beneficial for checks on objects other than directories. To test, apply https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/pull/473 to your selinux userspace, build and install libsepol, and use the following CIL policy module: $ cat neverauditpermissive.cil (typeneveraudit unconfined_t) (typepermissive unconfined_t) Without this module inserted, running the following commands: perf record make -jN # on an already built allmodconfig tree perf report --sort=symbol,dso yields the following percentages (only showing __d_lookup_rcu for reference and only showing relevant SELinux functions): 1.65% [k] __d_lookup_rcu 0.53% [k] selinux_inode_permission 0.40% [k] selinux_inode_getattr 0.15% [k] avc_lookup 0.05% [k] avc_has_perm 0.05% [k] avc_has_perm_noaudit 0.02% [k] avc_policy_seqno 0.02% [k] selinux_file_permission 0.01% [k] selinux_inode_alloc_security 0.01% [k] selinux_file_alloc_security for a total of 1.24% for SELinux compared to 1.65% for __d_lookup_rcu(). After running the following command to insert this module: semodule -i neverauditpermissive.cil and then re-running the same perf commands from above yields the following non-zero percentages: 1.74% [k] __d_lookup_rcu 0.31% [k] selinux_inode_permission 0.03% [k] selinux_inode_getattr 0.03% [k] avc_policy_seqno 0.01% [k] avc_lookup 0.01% [k] selinux_file_permission 0.01% [k] selinux_file_open for a total of 0.40% for SELinux compared to 1.74% for __d_lookup_rcu().
