Subject: [PATCH v3 08/12] Add security event description export facility.
From: "Dr. Greg" <greg@...ellic.com>
The functionality for surfacing security model events to an
external modeling domain is implemented in the export.c file.
ASCII descriptions of the events are presented to a userspace
trust orchestrator through the following pseudo-files:
/sys/kernel/security/tsem/external_tma/N
Where N is replaced with security namespace identifier. This
identifier is a 64-bit integer value incremented each time a
namespace is created
The following event types are exported:
export_event
async_event
aggregate_event
log_event
An export_event is used to surface the JSON encoded description
of a security event to the trust orchestrator responsible for
managing the security modeling namespace.
The async_event is identical to an export_event but the alternate
definition is used to indicate to the trust orchestrator that the
process that generated the event is running in atomic context.
The aggregate_event is used to provide the hardware platform
measurement value to the trust orchestrator for integration into
the security model by the associated trusted modeling agent.
A log_event is used to provide descriptions of security events
that are invoked by untrusted processes.
The /sys/kernel/security/tsem/external_tma/N pseudo-files
implement a pollable interface that the trust orchestrators can
use to wait on events. After placing the event description into
the device queue a process that is not running in atomic context
is placed in an interruptible sleep state.
After the TMA completes modeling of the event, the trust
orchestrator is responsible for using the TSEM control plane to
wake the process that exported the event and set its status to
either trusted or untrusted.
Security modeling namespaces, including the root modeling
namespace, can be configured to run in export only mode. In this
mode the security event descriptions are asynchronously exported
to the trust orchestrator for driving applications such as
machine learning models or other Host Intrusion Detection
schemes.

+ *
+ * This file implements the export of security relevant events to
+ * an external trust orchestrator. The primary TSEM security
+ * documentation describes the types of events that are exported.
+ *
+ * The structures used to export each event are provided either by the
+ * kmem_cache implementation maintained in this file or from a
+ * magazine of structures that are maintained for events that are
+ * running in atomic context.
+ *
+ * The events are exported through the following control plane file:
+ *
+ * /sys/kernel/security/tsem/external_tma/N
+ *
+ * Where N is a filename consisting of the context identifier of the
+ * security modeling namespace that generated the event.
+ *
+ * A description of the security relevant event being exported is
+ * encoded in JSON format. The TSEM ABI documentation has a
+ * description of the encoding that is used.
+ *
+ * For export events that describe a security event the JSON encoding
+ * of the event description is provided by the
+ * tsem_fs_show_trajectory() function. This is the same function that
+ * is used to generate the security event descriptions for internally
+ * modeled namespaces.
+ *
+ * Processes that are generating security events in non-atomic context
+ * are put to sleep and placed on a wait queue to be scheduled back
+ * into execution by the external trust orchestrator after the event
+ * is modeled for conformance with the enforced security model.
+ *
+ * Processes running in atomic context export the event and continue
+ * to run. A trust orchestrator is responsible for determing how to
+ * address a workload that generates a model violating event, either
+ * by shutting down the workload or generating a security alert via
+ * the trust orchestration
+ *
+ * Security modeling namespaces, including the root namespace, can
+ * also be configured for export only mode where the only purpose of
+ * the export event is to hand a description of the event to
+ * userspace. This type of export is handled in the same manner as
+ * an event being modeled that is running in atomic context.
