BPF token support was introduced to allow a privileged process to delegate
limited BPF functionality—such as map creation and program loading—to
an unprivileged process:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-security-module/20231130185229.2688956-1-andrii@kernel.org/
This patch adds SELinux support for controlling BPF token access. With
this change, SELinux policies can now enforce constraints on BPF token
usage based on both the delegating (privileged) process and the recipient
(unprivileged) process.
Supported operations currently include:
- map_create
- prog_load
High-level workflow:
1. An unprivileged process creates a VFS context via `fsopen()` and
obtains a file descriptor.
2. This descriptor is passed to a privileged process, which configures
BPF token delegation options and mounts a BPF filesystem.
3. SELinux records the `creator_sid` of the privileged process during
mount setup.
4. The unprivileged process then uses this BPF fs mount to create a
token and attach it to subsequent BPF syscalls.
5. During verification of `map_create` and `prog_load`, SELinux uses
`creator_sid` and the current SID to check policy permissions via:
avc_has_perm(creator_sid, current_sid, SECCLASS_BPF,
BPF__MAP_CREATE, NULL);
The implementation introduces two new permissions:
- map_create_as
- prog_load_as
At token creation time, SELinux verifies that the current process has the
appropriate `*_as` permission (depending on the `allowed_cmds` value in
the bpf_token) to act on behalf of the `creator_sid`.
Example SELinux policy:
allow test_bpf_t self:bpf {
map_create map_read map_write prog_load prog_run
map_create_as prog_load_as
};
Additionally, a new policy capability bpf_token_perms is added to ensure
backward compatibility. If disabled, previous behavior ((checks based on
current process SID)) is preserved.

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
- Improve the granularity of SELinux labeling for memfd files
Currently when creating a memfd file, SELinux treats it the same as
any other tmpfs, or hugetlbfs, file. While simple, the drawback is
that it is not possible to differentiate between memfd and tmpfs
files.
This adds a call to the security_inode_init_security_anon() LSM hook
and wires up SELinux to provide a set of memfd specific access
controls, including the ability to control the execution of memfds.
As usual, the commit message has more information.
- Improve the SELinux AVC lookup performance
Adopt MurmurHash3 for the SELinux AVC hash function instead of the
custom hash function currently used. MurmurHash3 is already used for
the SELinux access vector table so the impact to the code is minimal,
and performance tests have shown improvements in both hash
distribution and latency.
See the commit message for the performance measurments.
- Introduce a Kconfig option for the SELinux AVC bucket/slot size
While we have the ability to grow the number of AVC hash buckets
today, the size of the buckets (slot size) is fixed at 512. This pull
request makes that slot size configurable at build time through a new
Kconfig knob, CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_AVC_HASH_BITS.

Pull LSM updates from Paul Moore:
- Rework the LSM initialization code
What started as a "quick" patch to enable a notification event once
all of the individual LSMs were initialized, snowballed a bit into a
30+ patch patchset when everything was done. Most of the patches, and
diffstat, is due to splitting out the initialization code into
security/lsm_init.c and cleaning up some of the mess that was there.
While not strictly necessary, it does cleanup the code signficantly,
and hopefully makes the upkeep a bit easier in the future.
Aside from the new LSM_STARTED_ALL notification, these changes also
ensure that individual LSM initcalls are only called when the LSM is
enabled at boot time. There should be a minor reduction in boot times
for those who build multiple LSMs into their kernels, but only enable
a subset at boot.
It is worth mentioning that nothing at present makes use of the
LSM_STARTED_ALL notification, but there is work in progress which is
dependent upon LSM_STARTED_ALL.

Along with the renaming from task_security_struct to cred_security_struct,
rename the local variables to "crsec" from "tsec". This both fits with
existing conventions and helps distinguish between task and cred related

Before Linux had cred structures, the SELinux task_security_struct was
per-task and although the structure was switched to being per-cred
long ago, the name was never updated. This change renames it to
cred_security_struct to avoid confusion and pave the way for the
introduction of an actual per-task security structure for SELinux. No
functional change.

Although MurmurHash3 has higher overhead than the bitwise operations in
the original algorithm, the data shows that the MurmurHash3 achieves
better distribution, reducing average lookup time. Consequently, the
total latency of hashing and table lookup is lower than before.

Prior to this change, no security hooks were called at the creation of a
memfd file. It means that, for SELinux as an example, it will receive
the default type of the filesystem that backs the in-memory inode. In
most cases, that would be tmpfs, but if MFD_HUGETLB is passed, it will
be hugetlbfs. Both can be considered implementation details of memfd.
It also means that it is not possible to differentiate between a file
coming from memfd_create and a file coming from a standard tmpfs mount
point.
Additionally, no permission is validated at creation, which differs from
the similar memfd_secret syscall.
Call security_inode_init_security_anon during creation. This ensures
that the file is setup similarly to other anonymous inodes. On SELinux,
it means that the file will receive the security context of its task.
The ability to limit fexecve on memfd has been of interest to avoid
potential pitfalls where /proc/self/exe or similar would be executed
[1][2]. Reuse the "execute_no_trans" and "entrypoint" access vectors,
similarly to the file class. These access vectors may not make sense for
the existing "anon_inode" class. Therefore, define and assign a new
class "memfd_file" to support such access vectors.
Guard these changes behind a new policy capability named "memfd_class".

Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:
- Move the management of the LSM BPF security blobs into the framework
In order to enable multiple LSMs we need to allocate and free the
various security blobs in the LSM framework and not the individual
LSMs as they would end up stepping all over each other.
- Leverage the lsm_bdev_alloc() helper in lsm_bdev_alloc()
Make better use of our existing helper functions to reduce some code
duplication.
- Update the Rust cred code to use 'sync::aref'
Part of a larger effort to move the Rust code over to the 'sync'
module.
- Make CONFIG_LSM dependent on CONFIG_SECURITY
As the CONFIG_LSM Kconfig setting is an ordered list of the LSMs to
enable a boot, it obviously doesn't make much sense to enable this
when CONFIG_SECURITY is disabled.
- Update the LSM and CREDENTIALS sections in MAINTAINERS with Rusty
bits
Add the Rust helper files to the associated LSM and CREDENTIALS
entries int the MAINTAINERS file. We're trying to improve the
communication between the two groups and making sure we're all aware
of what is going on via cross-posting to the relevant lists is a good
way to start.

This patch adds support for genfscon per-file labeling of functionfs
files as well as support for userspace to apply labels after new
functionfs endpoints are created.
This allows for separate labels and therefore access control on a
per-endpoint basis. An example use case would be for the default
endpoint EP0 used as a restricted control endpoint, and additional
usb endpoints to be used by other more permissive domains.
It should be noted that if there are multiple functionfs mounts on a
system, genfs file labels will apply to all mounts, and therefore will not
likely be as useful as the userspace relabeling portion of this patch -
the addition to selinux_is_genfs_special_handling().
This patch introduces the functionfs_seclabel policycap to maintain
existing functionfs genfscon behavior unless explicitly enabled.

neveraudit|permissive
Extend the task avdcache to also cache whether the task SID is both
permissive and neveraudit, and return immediately if so in both
selinux_inode_getattr() and selinux_inode_permission().
The same approach could be applied to many of the hook functions
although the avdcache would need to be updated for more than directory
search checks in order for this optimization to be beneficial for checks
on objects other than directories.
To test, apply https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/pull/473 to
your selinux userspace, build and install libsepol, and use the following
CIL policy module:
$ cat neverauditpermissive.cil
(typeneveraudit unconfined_t)
(typepermissive unconfined_t)
Without this module inserted, running the following commands:
perf record make -jN # on an already built allmodconfig tree
perf report --sort=symbol,dso
yields the following percentages (only showing __d_lookup_rcu for
reference and only showing relevant SELinux functions):
1.65% [k] __d_lookup_rcu
0.53% [k] selinux_inode_permission
0.40% [k] selinux_inode_getattr
0.15% [k] avc_lookup
0.05% [k] avc_has_perm
0.05% [k] avc_has_perm_noaudit
0.02% [k] avc_policy_seqno
0.02% [k] selinux_file_permission
0.01% [k] selinux_inode_alloc_security
0.01% [k] selinux_file_alloc_security
for a total of 1.24% for SELinux compared to 1.65% for
__d_lookup_rcu().
After running the following command to insert this module:
semodule -i neverauditpermissive.cil
and then re-running the same perf commands from above yields
the following non-zero percentages:
1.74% [k] __d_lookup_rcu
0.31% [k] selinux_inode_permission
0.03% [k] selinux_inode_getattr
0.03% [k] avc_policy_seqno
0.01% [k] avc_lookup
0.01% [k] selinux_file_permission

Introduce neveraudit types i.e. types that should never trigger
audit messages. This allows the AVC to skip all audit-related
processing for such types. Note that neveraudit differs from
dontaudit not only wrt being applied for all checks with a given
source type but also in that it disables all auditing, not just
permission denials.
When a type is both a permissive type and a neveraudit type,
the security server can short-circuit the security_compute_av()
logic, allowing all permissions and not auditing any permissions.
This change just introduces the basic support but does not yet
further optimize the AVC or hook function logic when a type
is both a permissive type and a dontaudit type.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core:
- Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy
data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire.
- Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope,
under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times
faster.
- Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing again
the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane
scalability.
- Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded
abstraction layers and improving significantly the related
micro-benchmarks.
- Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10%
performance improvement in related stream tests.
- Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a
prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable()
on PREMPT_RT.
- Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds
verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages.
Netfilter:
- Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving
considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools still
use this interface.
- Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain and
flowtables.
- Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure.
- Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better
introspection.
BPF:
- BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops
programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs
using the "tc qdisc" command.
- Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues
WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets.
Protocols:
- Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default
upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the
single flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%.
- Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport
security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server.
- Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always
matches the nexthop device.
- Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS,
and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs.
- Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major
distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better
organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit
in the fast path.
- Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks.
Driver API:
- Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for
the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new
unsupported flags.
- Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs.
- Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for
dump operations targeting PHYs.
Tests and tooling:
- Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that
ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and
qdisc layer configuration.
- Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output
known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic
netlink output.
- Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage.
- Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.
New hardware / drivers:
- OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing to
the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT the
user-space implementation.
- Renesas glue driver for the gigabit ethernet RZ/V2H(P) SoC.

DCCP was orphaned in 2021 by commit 054c4610bd05 ("MAINTAINERS: dccp:
move Gerrit Renker to CREDITS"), which noted that the last maintainer
had been inactive for five years.
In recent years, it has become a playground for syzbot, and most changes
to DCCP have been odd bug fixes triggered by syzbot. Apart from that,
the only changes have been driven by treewide or networking API updates
or adjustments related to TCP.
Thus, in 2023, we announced we would remove DCCP in 2025 via commit
b144fcaf46d4 ("dccp: Print deprecation notice.").
Since then, only one individual has contacted the netdev mailing list. [0]
There is ongoing research for Multipath DCCP. The repository is hosted
on GitHub [1], and development is not taking place through the upstream
community. While the repository is published under the GPLv2 license,
the scheduling part remains proprietary, with a LICENSE file [2] stating:
"This is not Open Source software."
The researcher mentioned a plan to address the licensing issue, upstream
the patches, and step up as a maintainer, but there has been no further
communication since then.
Maintaining DCCP for a decade without any real users has become a burden.
Therefore, it's time to remove it.
Removing DCCP will also provide significant benefits to TCP. It allows
us to freely reorganize the layout of struct inet_connection_sock, which
is currently shared with DCCP, and optimize it to reduce the number of
cachelines accessed in the TCP fast path.
Note that we keep DCCP netfilter modules as requested. [3]

Reduce the SELinux performance overhead during path walks through the
use of a per-task directory access cache and some minor code
optimizations. The directory access cache is per-task because it allows
for a lockless cache while also fitting well with a common application
pattern of heavily accessing a relatively small number of SELinux
directory labels. The cache is inherited by child processes when the
child runs with the same SELinux domain as the parent, and invalidated
on changes to the task's SELinux domain or the loaded SELinux policy.
A cache of four entries was chosen based on testing with the Fedora
"targeted" policy, a SELinux Reference Policy variant, and
'make allmodconfig' on Linux v6.14.
Code optimizations include better use of inline functions to reduce
function calls in the common case, especially in the inode revalidation
code paths, and elimination of redundant checks between the LSM and
SELinux layers.
As mentioned briefly above, aside from general use and regression
testing with the selinux-testsuite, performance was measured using
'make allmodconfig' with Linux v6.14 as a base reference. As expected,
there were variations from one test run to another, but the measurements
below are a good representation of the test results seen on my test
system.
* Linux v6.14
REF
1.26% [k] __d_lookup_rcu
SELINUX (1.31%)
0.58% [k] selinux_inode_permission
0.29% [k] avc_lookup
0.25% [k] avc_has_perm_noaudit
0.19% [k] __inode_security_revalidate
* Linux v6.14 + patch
REF
1.41% [k] __d_lookup_rcu
SELINUX (0.89%)
0.65% [k] selinux_inode_permission
0.15% [k] avc_lookup
0.05% [k] avc_has_perm_noaudit
0.04% [k] avc_policy_seqno
X.XX% [k] __inode_security_revalidate (now inline)
In both cases the __d_lookup_rcu() function was used as a reference
point to establish a context for the SELinux related functions. On a
unpatched Linux v6.14 system we see the time spent in the combined
SELinux functions exceeded that of __d_lookup_rcu(), 1.31% compared to
1.26%. However, with this patch applied the time spent in the combined
SELinux functions dropped to roughly 65% of the time spent in
__d_lookup_rcu(), 0.89% compared to 1.41%. Aside from the significant
decrease in time spent in the SELinux AVC, it appears that any additional
time spent searching and updating the cache is offset by other code
improvements, e.g. time spent in selinux_inode_permission() +
__inode_security_revalidate() + avc_policy_seqno() is less on the
patched kernel than the unpatched kernel.
It is worth noting that in this patch the use of the per-task cache is
limited to the security_inode_permission() LSM callback,
selinux_inode_permission(), but future work could expand the cache into
inode_has_perm(), likely through consolidation of the two functions.
While this would likely have little to no impact on path walks, it
may benefit other operations.

Currently, genfscon only supports string prefix match to label files.
Thus, labeling numerous dynamic sysfs entries requires many specific
path rules. For example, labeling device paths such as
`/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.1/<...>/0000:04:00.1/wakeup`
requires listing all specific PCI paths, which is challenging to
maintain. While user-space restorecon can handle these paths with
regular expression rules, relabeling thousands of paths under sysfs
after it is mounted is inefficient compared to using genfscon.
This commit adds wildcard matching to genfscon to make rules more
efficient and expressive. This new behavior is enabled by
genfs_seclabel_wildcard capability. With this capability, genfscon does
wildcard matching instead of prefix matching. When multiple wildcard
rules match against a path, then the longest rule (determined by the
length of the rule string) will be applied. If multiple rules of the
same length match, the first matching rule encountered in the given
genfscon policy will be applied. Users are encouraged to write longer,
more explicit path rules to avoid relying on this behavior.
This change resulted in nice real-world performance improvements. For
example, boot times on test Android devices were reduced by 15%. This
improvement is due to the elimination of the "restorecon -R /sys" step
during boot, which takes more than two seconds in the worst case.

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
- Add additional SELinux access controls for kernel file reads/loads
The SELinux kernel file read/load access controls were never updated
beyond the initial kernel module support, this pull request adds
support for firmware, kexec, policies, and x.509 certificates.
- Add support for wildcards in network interface names
There are a number of userspace tools which auto-generate network
interface names using some pattern of <XXXX>-<NN> where <XXXX> is a
fixed string, e.g. "podman", and <NN> is a increasing counter.
Supporting wildcards in the SELinux policy for network interfaces
simplifies the policy associted with these interfaces.
- Fix a potential problem in the kernel read file SELinux code
SELinux should always check the file label in the
security_kernel_read_file() LSM hook, regardless of if the file is
being read in chunks. Unfortunately, the existing code only
considered the file label on the first chunk; this pull request fixes
this problem.
There is more detail in the individual commit, but thankfully the
existing code didn't expose a bug due to multi-stage reads only
taking place in one driver, and that driver loading a file type that
isn't targeted by the SELinux policy.
- Fix the subshell error handling in the example policy loader
Minor fix to SELinux example policy loader in scripts/selinux due to
an undesired interaction with subshells and errexit.

supported LSMs, remove it from the hook.
- Add an explicit MAINTAINERS entry for the credentials code
We've seen problems in the past where patches to the credentials code
sent by non-maintainers would often languish on the lists for
multiple months as there was no one explicitly tasked with the
responsibility of reviewing and/or merging credentials related code.
Considering that most of the code under security/ has a vested
interest in ensuring that the credentials code is well maintained,
I'm volunteering to look after the credentials code and Serge Hallyn
has also volunteered to step up as an official reviewer. I posted the
MAINTAINERS update as a RFC to LKML in hopes that someone else would
jump up with an "I'll do it!", but beyond Serge it was all crickets.

Add support for wildcard matching of network interface names. This is
useful for auto-generated interfaces, for example podman creates network
interfaces for containers with the naming scheme podman0, podman1,
podman2, ...
To maintain backward compatibility guard this feature with a new policy
capability 'netif_wildcard'.
Netifcon definitions are compared against in the order given by the
policy, so userspace tools should sort them in a reasonable order.

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
- Extended permissions supported in conditional policy
The SELinux extended permissions, aka "xperms", allow security admins
to target individuals ioctls, and recently netlink messages, with
their SELinux policy. Adding support for conditional policies allows
admins to toggle the granular xperms using SELinux booleans, helping
pave the way for greater use of xperms in general purpose SELinux
policies. This change bumps the maximum SELinux policy version to 34.
- Fix a SCTP/SELinux error return code inconsistency
Depending on the loaded SELinux policy, specifically it's
EXTSOCKCLASS support, the bind(2) LSM/SELinux hook could return
different error codes due to the SELinux code checking the socket's
SELinux object class (which can vary depending on EXTSOCKCLASS) and
not the socket's sk_protocol field. We fix this by doing the obvious,
and looking at the sock->sk_protocol field instead of the object
class.
- Makefile fixes to properly cleanup av_permissions.h
Add av_permissions.h to "targets" so that it is properly cleaned up
using the kbuild infrastructure.
- A number of smaller improvements by Christian Göttsche
A variety of straightforward changes to reduce code duplication,
reduce pointer lookups, migrate void pointers to defined types,

In commit d1d991efaf34 ("selinux: Add netlink xperm support") a new
extended permission was added ("nlmsg"). This was the second extended
permission implemented in selinux ("ioctl" being the first one).
Extended permissions are associated with a base permission. It was found
that, in the access vector cache (avc), the extended permission did not
keep track of its base permission. This is an issue for a domain that is
using both extended permissions (i.e., a domain calling ioctl() on a
netlink socket). In this case, the extended permissions were
overlapping.
Keep track of the base permission in the cache. A new field "base_perm"
is added to struct extended_perms_decision to make sure that the
extended permission refers to the correct policy permission. A new field
"base_perms" is added to struct extended_perms to quickly decide if
extended permissions apply.
While it is in theory possible to retrieve the base permission from the
access vector, the same base permission may not be mapped to the same
bit for each class (e.g., "nlmsg" is mapped to a different bit for
"netlink_route_socket" and "netlink_audit_socket"). Instead, use a
constant (AVC_EXT_IOCTL or AVC_EXT_NLMSG) provided by the caller.
