# 193391 03-Jun-2009 rwatson

Continue work to optimize performance of "options MAC" when no MAC policy
modules are loaded by avoiding mbuf label lookups when policies aren't
loaded, pushing further socket locking into MAC policy modules, and
avoiding locking MAC ifnet locks when no policies are loaded:

- Check mac_policies_count before looking for mbuf MAC label m_tags in MAC
Framework entry points. We will still pay label lookup costs if MAC
policies are present but don't require labels (typically a single mbuf
header field read, but perhaps further indirection if IPSEC or other
m_tag consumers are in use).

- Further push socket locking for socket-related access control checks and
events into MAC policies from the MAC Framework, so that sockets are
only locked if a policy specifically requires a lock to protect a label.
This resolves lock order issues during sonewconn() and also in local
domain socket cross-connect where multiple socket locks could not be
held at once for the purposes of propagatig MAC labels across multiple
sockets. Eliminate mac_policy_count check in some entry points where it
no longer avoids locking.

- Add mac_policy_count checking in some entry points relating to network
interfaces that otherwise lock a global MAC ifnet lock used to protect
ifnet labels.

# 191731 01-May-2009 rwatson

Rename MAC Framework-internal macros used to invoke policy entry points:

MAC_BOOLEAN -> MAC_POLICY_BOOLEAN
MAC_BOOLEAN_NOSLEEP -> MAC_POLICY_BOOLEANN_NOSLEEP
MAC_CHECK -> MAC_POLICY_CHECK
MAC_CHECK_NOSLEEP -> MAC_POLICY_CHECK_NOSLEEP
MAC_EXTERNALIZE -> MAC_POLICY_EXTERNALIZE
MAC_GRANT -> MAC_POLICY_GRANT
MAC_GRANT_NOSLEEP -> MAC_POLICY_GRANT_NOSLEEP
MAC_INTERNALIZE -> MAC_POLICY_INTERNALIZE
MAC_PERFORM -> MAC_POLICY_PERFORM_CHECK
MAC_PERFORM_NOSLEEP -> MAC_POLICY_PERFORM_NOSLEEP

This frees up those macro names for use in wrapping calls into the MAC
Framework from the remainder of the kernel.

# 189797 14-Mar-2009 rwatson

Rework MAC Framework synchronization in a number of ways in order to
improve performance:

- Eliminate custom reference count and condition variable to monitor
threads entering the framework, as this had both significant overhead
and behaved badly in the face of contention.

- Replace reference count with two locks: an rwlock and an sx lock,
which will be read-acquired by threads entering the framework
depending on whether a give policy entry point is permitted to sleep
or not.

- Replace previous mutex locking of the reference count for exclusive
access with write acquiring of both the policy list sx and rw locks,
which occurs only when policies are attached or detached.

- Do a lockless read of the dynamic policy list head before acquiring
any locks in order to reduce overhead when no dynamic policies are
loaded; this a race we can afford to lose.

- For every policy entry point invocation, decide whether sleeping is
permitted, and if not, use a _NOSLEEP() variant of the composition
macros, which will use the rwlock instead of the sxlock. In some
cases, we decide which to use based on allocation flags passed to the
MAC Framework entry point.

As with the move to rwlocks/rmlocks in pfil, this may trigger witness
warnings, but these should (generally) be false positives as all
acquisition of the locks is for read with two very narrow exceptions
for policy load/unload, and those code blocks should never acquire
other locks.

# 189503 07-Mar-2009 rwatson

Add static DTrace probes for MAC Framework access control checks and
privilege grants so that dtrace can be more easily used to monitor
the security decisions being generated by the MAC Framework following
policy invocation.

Successful access control checks will be reported by:

mac_framework:kernel:<entrypoint>:mac_check_ok

Failed access control checks will be reported by:

mac_framework:kernel:<entrypoint>:mac_check_err

Successful privilege grants will be reported by:

mac_framework:kernel:priv_grant:mac_grant_ok

Failed privilege grants will be reported by:

mac_framework:kernel:priv_grant:mac_grant_err

In all cases, the return value (always 0 for _ok, otherwise an errno
for _err) will be reported via arg0 on the probe, and subsequent
arguments will hold entrypoint-specific data, in a style similar to
privilege tracing.

# 182063 23-Aug-2008 rwatson

Introduce two related changes to the TrustedBSD MAC Framework:

(1) Abstract interpreter vnode labeling in execve(2) and mac_execve(2)
so that the general exec code isn't aware of the details of
allocating, copying, and freeing labels, rather, simply passes in
a void pointer to start and stop functions that will be used by
the framework. This change will be MFC'd.

(2) Introduce a new flags field to the MAC_POLICY_SET(9) interface
allowing policies to declare which types of objects require label
allocation, initialization, and destruction, and define a set of
flags covering various supported object types (MPC_OBJECT_PROC,
MPC_OBJECT_VNODE, MPC_OBJECT_INPCB, ...). This change reduces the
overhead of compiling the MAC Framework into the kernel if policies
aren't loaded, or if policies require labels on only a small number
or even no object types. Each time a policy is loaded or unloaded,
we recalculate a mask of labeled object types across all policies
present in the system. Eliminate MAC_ALWAYS_LABEL_MBUF option as it
is no longer required.

# 179781 13-Jun-2008 rwatson

The TrustedBSD MAC Framework named struct ipq instances 'ipq', which is the
same as the global variable defined in ip_input.c. Instead, adopt the name
'q' as found in about 1/2 of uses in ip_input.c, preventing a collision on
the name. This is non-harmful, but means that search and replace on the
global works less well (as in the virtualization work), as well as indexing
tools.

# 179359 27-May-2008 csjp

Plug a memory leak which can occur when multiple MAC policies are loaded
which label mbufs. This leak can occur if one policy successfully allocates
label storage and subsequent allocations from other policies fail.

MFC after: 3 months


# 178285 17-Apr-2008 rwatson

Convert pcbinfo and inpcb mutexes to rwlocks, and modify macros to
explicitly select write locking for all use of the inpcb mutex.
Update some pcbinfo lock assertions to assert locked rather than
write-locked, although in practice almost all uses of the pcbinfo
rwlock main exclusive, and all instances of inpcb lock acquisition
are exclusive.

This change should introduce (ideally) little functional change.
However, it lays the groundwork for significantly increased
parallelism in the TCP/IP code.

# 173102 28-Oct-2007 rwatson

Continue to move from generic network entry points in the TrustedBSD MAC
Framework by moving from mac_mbuf_create_netlayer() to more specific
entry points for specific network services:

- mac_netinet_firewall_reply() to be used when replying to in-bound TCP
segments in pf and ipfw (etc).

- Rename mac_netinet_icmp_reply() to mac_netinet_icmp_replyinplace() and
add mac_netinet_icmp_reply(), reflecting that in some cases we overwrite
a label in place, but in others we apply the label to a new mbuf.

# 173095 28-Oct-2007 rwatson

Move towards more explicit support for various network protocol stacks
in the TrustedBSD MAC Framework:

- Add mac_atalk.c and add explicit entry point mac_netatalk_aarp_send()
for AARP packet labeling, rather than using a generic link layer
entry point.

- Add mac_inet6.c and add explicit entry point mac_netinet6_nd6_send()
for ND6 packet labeling, rather than using a generic link layer entry
point.

- Add expliict entry point mac_netinet_arp_send() for ARP packet
labeling, and mac_netinet_igmp_send() for IGMP packet labeling,
rather than using a generic link layer entry point.

- Remove previous genering link layer entry point,
mac_mbuf_create_linklayer() as it is no longer used.

- Add implementations of new entry points to various policies, largely
by replicating the existing link layer entry point for them; remove
old link layer entry point implementation.

- Make MAC_IFNET_LOCK(), MAC_IFNET_UNLOCK(), and mac_ifnet_mtx global
to the MAC Framework rather than static to mac_net.c as it is now
needed outside of mac_net.c.

# 173018 26-Oct-2007 rwatson

Rename 'mac_create_mbuf_linklayer' to 'mac_mbuf_create_linklayer' to
reflect general object-first ordering preference.

# 172930 24-Oct-2007 rwatson

Merge first in a series of TrustedBSD MAC Framework KPI changes
from Mac OS X Leopard--rationalize naming for entry points to
the following general forms:

mac_<object>_<method/action>
mac_<object>_check_<method/action>

The previous naming scheme was inconsistent and mostly
reversed from the new scheme. Also, make object types more
consistent and remove spaces from object types that contain
multiple parts ("posix_sem" -> "posixsem") to make mechanical
parsing easier. Introduce a new "netinet" object type for
certain IPv4/IPv6-related methods. Also simplify, slightly,
some entry point names.

All MAC policy modules will need to be recompiled, and modules
not updates as part of this commit will need to be modified to
conform to the new KPI.

# 168955 22-Apr-2007 rwatson

Normalize variable naming in the MAC Framework by adopting the normal
variable name conventions for arguments passed into the framework --
for example, name network interfaces 'ifp', sockets 'so', mounts 'mp',
mbufs 'm', processes 'p', etc, wherever possible. Previously there
was significant variation in this regard.

Normalize copyright lists to ranges where sensible.


# 166531 06-Feb-2007 rwatson

Continue 7-CURRENT MAC Framework rearrangement and cleanup:

Don't perform a nested include of _label.h in mac.h, as mac.h now
describes only the user API to MAC, and _label.h defines the in-kernel
representation of MAC labels.

Remove mac.h includes from policies and MAC framework components that do
not use userspace MAC API definitions.

Add _KERNEL inclusion checks to mac_internal.h and mac_policy.h, as these
are kernel-only include files

# 165149 13-Dec-2006 csjp

Fix LOR between the syncache and inpcb locks when MAC is present in the
kernel. This LOR snuck in with some of the recent syncache changes. To
fix this, the inpcb handling was changed:

- Hang a MAC label off the syncache object
- When the syncache entry is initially created, we pickup the PCB lock
is held because we extract information from it while initializing the
syncache entry. While we do this, copy the MAC label associated with
the PCB and use it for the syncache entry.
- When the packet is transmitted, copy the label from the syncache entry
to the mbuf so it can be processed by security policies which analyze
mbuf labels.

This change required that the MAC framework be extended to support the
label copy operations from the PCB to the syncache entry, and then from
the syncache entry to the mbuf.

These functions really should be referencing the syncache structure instead
of the label. However, due to some of the complexities associated with
exposing this syncache structure we operate directly on it's label pointer.
This should be OK since we aren't making any access control decisions within
this code directly, we are merely allocating and copying label storage so
we can properly initialize mbuf labels for any packets the syncache code
might create.

This also has a nice side effect of caching. Prior to this change, the
PCB would be looked up/locked for each packet transmitted. Now the label
is cached at the time the syncache entry is initialized.

# 163606 22-Oct-2006 rwatson

Complete break-out of sys/sys/mac.h into sys/security/mac/mac_framework.h
begun with a repo-copy of mac.h to mac_framework.h. sys/mac.h now
contains the userspace and user<->kernel API and definitions, with all
in-kernel interfaces moved to mac_framework.h, which is now included
across most of the kernel instead.

This change is the first step in a larger cleanup and sweep of MAC
Framework interfaces in the kernel, and will not be MFC'd.

# 162238 12-Sep-2006 csjp

Introduce a new entry point, mac_create_mbuf_from_firewall. This entry point
exists to allow the mandatory access control policy to properly initialize
mbufs generated by the firewall. An example where this might happen is keep
alive packets, or ICMP error packets in response to other packets.

This takes care of kernel panics associated with un-initialize mbuf labels
when the firewall generates packets.

[1] I modified this patch from it's original version, the initial patch
introduced a number of entry points which were programmatically
equivalent. So I introduced only one. Instead, we should leverage
mac_create_mbuf_netlayer() which is used for similar situations,
an example being icmp_error()

This will minimize the impact associated with the MFC

# 126262 26-Feb-2004 rwatson

Move inet and inet6 related MAC Framework entry points from mac_net.c
to a new mac_inet.c. This code is now conditionally compiled based
on inet support being compiled into the kernel.

Move socket related MAC Framework entry points from mac_net.c to a new
mac_socket.c.

To do this, some additional _enforce MIB variables are now non-static.
In addition, mbuf_to_label() is now mac_mbuf_to_label() and non-static.
