Subject: Re: [PATCH] CRED: ptrace_attach() should use the target process's mutex

Hello.

TOMOYO Linux is now trying to use CRED API, but some troubles were found.
Thus, I want the below patch for TOMOYO Linux.

Regards.
-----
Subject: Add hooks for notifying of start/finish of an execve operation.

This patch adds two hooks, security_start_execve() / security_finish_execve(),
for notifying an LSM module of an execve operation is about to start and
finish.

TOMOYO Linux checks read and/or write permissions at security_dentry_open()
if security_dentry_open() is called outside do_execve() (e.g. sys_open()).
But TOMOYO Linux wants to skip permission checks at security_dentry_open()
if security_dentry_open() is called inside do_execve() (i.e. open_exec()), for
TOMOYO Linux checks permissions at security_bprm_check() using
current->cred->security for program and bprm->cred->security for interpreter.

To implement this exception, I have to tell whether TOMOYO Linux should do
permission checks at security_dentry_open(). And I want a flag that tells
whether the current process is in an execve operation or not.

I tried to use

  static int tmy_dentry_open(struct file *f, const struct cred *cred)
  {
          ...
          /* Don't check read permission here if called from do_execve(). */
          if (mutex_is_locked(&current->cred_exec_mutex))
                  return 0;
          ...
  }

for judging whether the current process is in an execve operation or not.
But it turned out that this code won't work because current->cred_exec_mutex
can be locked by other processes. Thus, I'm trying to use

  struct execve_entry {
         struct list_head list;
         struct task_struct *task;
  };
  
  static LIST_HEAD(execve_list);
  static DEFINE_SPINLOCK(execve_list_lock);
  
  static int tmy_start_execve(void)
  {
          struct execve_entry *ee = kmalloc(sizeof(*ee), GFP_KERNEL);
          if (!ee)
                 return -ENOMEM;
          ee->task = current;
          spin_lock(&execve_list_lock);
          list_add(&ee->list, &execve_list);
          spin_unlock(&execve_list_lock);
          return 0;
  }
  
  static bool tmy_in_execve(void)
  {
          struct task_struct *task = current;
          struct execve_entry *p;
          bool found = false;
          spin_lock(&execve_list_lock);
          list_for_each_entry(p, &execve_list, list) {
                  if (p->task != task)
                          continue;
                  found = true;
                  break;
          }
          spin_unlock(&execve_list_lock);
          return found;
  }
  
  static void tmy_finish_execve(void)
  {
          struct task_struct *task = current;
          struct execve_entry *p;
          struct execve_entry *ee = NULL;
          spin_lock(&execve_list_lock);
          list_for_each_entry(p, &execve_list, list) {
                  if (p->task != task)
                          continue;
                  list_del(&p->list);
                  ee = p;
                  break;
          }
          spin_unlock(&execve_list_lock);
          if (ee)
                 kfree(ee);
  }

and replace mutex_is_locked(&current->cred_exec_mutex) with tmy_in_execve().
To call tmy_start_execve() and tmy_finish_execve(),
I want security_start_execve() / security_finish_execve().
