RFC 1/1 LSM fix for stupid "empty" functions

Hi all,

I'm _really_ tired of all of the "empty" functions that all security modules need to provide. So here's a brute force patch that lets any security module only set the functions that it wants to override. If the function is NULL, then the "dummy" function will be used instead.

What do people think of this? I also cleaned up the comment in the verify function of security/security.c and made it not inline.

Comments welcome (if there are none, I'll send it on to Linus.) The patch below is against 2.5.50. As you can see by the diffstat, it does make security modules a lot smaller :)

We could also remove all of the initializers for dummy_security_ops with this patch, reducing the code size some more, if people really want to...

thanks,

greg k-h

I'm _really_ tired of all of the "empty" functions that all security modules need to provide. So here's a brute force patch that lets any security module only set the functions that it wants to override. If the function is NULL, then the "dummy" function will be used instead.

Sounds good to me. So you're just creating a default null function, and then stuffing all the stubs with a pointer to that function?

Comments welcome (if there are none, I'll send it on to Linus.)

I suggest holding that post to Linus until Tuesday am. Lots of people are likely taking a long weekend away from software, and won't see your post until Monday morning.

Thanks,

No, it uses the dummy_* function that matches that function type if you do not specify the function. Look at the definition of the set_to_dummy_if_null() macro for how it works.

What do people think of this? I also cleaned up the comment in the verify function of security/security.c and made it not inline.

I second this. It's very annoying and error-prone to define lots of unnecessary functions, not to mention maintainability.

Same here.

Nevertheless, I like this patch.

Good point, I'll remove it. It was a hack anyway :)

Does the kernel work if data structures are in ROM? I would think that lots of variables in the kernel would have this problem :)

And yes, patching other people's data structures isn't the nicest thing to do, but it was the simplest proposal I've come up with so far (we've had a lot of other pretty "odd" proposals for this problem in the past.)

The nommu ports support .text in rom. SGI NUMA plattforms support kernel text replication which has the same problems.

But doesn't initialized variables live in .bss? So we should be ok, right?

Greg-

not that I am trying to be a PITA but where did you get the information that initialized variables live in .bss?

Initialized variables live in .data, the .bss (Block Started by Symbol) is reserved for non-initialized variables.

Look:
visitor@satelite:~> cat a.c
int first_var;
int second_var = 5;
visitor@satelite:~> gcc -S a.c
visitor@satelite:~> cat a.s

        .file   "a.c"

.globl second_var

not that I am trying to be a PITA but where did you get the information that initialized variables live in .bss?

I was incorrect, as was pointed out to me about 15 minutes after sending that email :)

Oh sorry, I didn't catch that, 13000 emails unread.

VERIFY_STRUCT(struct security_operations, ops, err);

This shouldn't be necessary anymore.

Good point, I'll remove it. It was a hack anyway :)

I think we still want to make sure that the module author has explicitly accounted for all of the hooks, in case new hooks are added.

I think we still want to make sure that the module author has explicitly accounted for all of the hooks, in case new hooks are added.

But with this patch, if the module author hasn't specified a hook, they get the "dummy" ones. So the structure should always be full of pointers, making the VERIFY_STRUCT macro pointless.

Yes, but defaulting unspecified hooks to dummy operations could be dangerous. A module might appear to compile and run perfectly well, but be missing some important new hook.

One could argue that a "important new hook" would provide a sane dummy operation, or that if the module doesn't need it, why would it want to provide it? :)

Anyway, there's no way to resolve both this percieved problem, and the "smaller and easier" patch that I proposed, right? Unless we want to export all dummy operation functions for all modules to use? I could do that, but it's pretty messy...

Yeah, very. I guess a security module could check the kernel version and print a warning to the effect "this module has not been verified with this kernel version" either at compile or runtime, if needed.

VERIFY_STRUCT() now verifies, wether security_fixup_ops() has done its job. So it does no harm, but it is useless, nevertheless.

If you want to check, wether a module has been recompiled, you should add a length/sizeof(struct security_operations) parameter.

No, I don't want to go down that path. All security modules need to be compiled against the exact kernel version they are going to be used for, like any other kernel module type.

RFC 1/1 LSM fix for stupid "empty" functions - take 2

In reply to Greg KH

Hi all,

Here's an updated version of the previous patch I sent out. It incorporates all of the different changes people made.

If there aren't any objections, I'll be sending this out to Linus soon.

thanks,

Why did you uninline verify()? It actually increases the size of security.o:

w/ inline

$ size security/security.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   1925       0       4    1929     789 security/security.o

w/out inline

$ size security/security.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   1957       0       4    1961     7a9 security/security.o

Also, I think the fixup should go directly in verify, since they are always called together. Otherwise, this looks good. Thanks, it's been sorely needed.

Also, I think the fixup should go directly in verify, since they are always called together. Otherwise, this looks good. Thanks, it's been sorely needed.

Thanks for the changes, I'll use your version of this :)

Hi all,

Here's an updated version of the previous patch I sent out. It incorporates all of the different changes people made.

If there aren't any objections, I'll be sending this out to Linus soon.

Looks good, with Chris' additions. The hook verification issue I raised earlier is a non-issue: it might be useful, but can be addressed in other ways by module authors if needed without uglifying the mainline code.

Thanks for doing this work Greg.
