Subject: [PATCH -mm] file capabilities: accomodate future 64-bit caps
From: Serge E. Hallyn <serue@...ibm.com>
Subject: [PATCH -mm] file capabilities: accomodate future 64-bit caps
(Changelog: fixed syntax error in dummy version of check_cap_sanity())
As the capability set changes and distributions start tagging
binaries with capabilities, we would like for running an older
kernel to not necessarily make those binaries unusable.
(0. Enable the CONFIG_SECURITY_FS_CAPABILITIES option
when CONFIG_SECURITY=n.)
(1. Rename CONFIG_SECURITY_FS_CAPABILITIES to
CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES)
2. Introduce CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES_STRICTXATTR
which, when set, prevents loading binaries with capabilities
set which the kernel doesn't know about. When not set,
such capabilities run, ignoring the unknown caps.
3. To accomodate 64-bit caps, specify that capabilities are
stored as
u32 version; u32 eff0; u32 perm0; u32 inh0;
u32 eff1; u32 perm1; u32 inh1; (etc)
