Merge tag 'io_uring-7.3-20261002' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linuxgrafted
Pull io_uring fixes from Jens Axboe:
- Fix a task_work add use-after-free with SQPOLL.
The sqpoll thread could pop and complete the last request while
io_req_normal_work_add() was still looking at them after the mpscq
push.
Use the same approach as DEFER_TASKRUN to protect from that, holding
an RCU read lock across the add, and have exit wait for an RCU grace
period for SQPOLL rings as well.
- CQE32 ring fixes: correct the free entry check for 32b CQEs, zero the
big_cqe for aux CQEs, and only post the dummy skip CQE on CQE_MIXED
rings
- Mark the source filter table as COW when cloning bpf filters, so
registering another filter on the source doesn't modify the shared
table in place
- Initialize the task context before running the BPF loop
- Requeue zcrx multishot receives stopped by a local resource
- End a TX_TIMESTAMP multishot cmd when the CQ is full (lollipopkit)

The initial method maintains an + HMAC-sha1 value across the extended attributes, storing the + value as the extended attribute 'security.evm'. + + EVM supports two classes of security.evm. The first is + an HMAC-sha1 generated locally with a + trusted/encrypted key stored in the Kernel Key + Retention System. The second is a digital signature + generated either locally or remotely using an + asymmetric key. These keys are loaded onto root's + keyring using keyctl, and EVM is then enabled by + echoing a value to <securityfs>/evm made up of the + following bits: + + === ================================================== + Bit Effect + === ================================================== + 0 Enable HMAC validation and creation + 1 Enable digital signature validation + 2 Permit modification of EVM-protected metadata at + runtime. Not supported if HMAC validation and + creation is enabled (deprecated). + 3 Require asymmetric signatures to be version 3 + 31 Disable further runtime modification of EVM policy + === ================================================== + + For example:: + + echo 1 ><securityfs>/evm + + will enable HMAC validation and creation + + :: + + echo 0x80000003 ><securityfs>/evm + + will enable HMAC and digital signature validation and + HMAC creation and disable all further modification of policy. + + :: + + echo 0x80000006 ><securityfs>/evm + + will enable digital signature validation, permit + modification of EVM-protected metadata and + disable all further modification of policy. This option is now + deprecated in favor of:: + + echo 0x80000002 ><securityfs>/evm + + as the outstanding issues that prevent the usage of EVM portable + signatures have been solved. + + Echoing a value is additive, the new value is added to the + existing initialization flags. + + For example, after:: + + echo 2 ><securityfs>/evm + + another echo can be performed:: + + echo 1 ><securityfs>/evm + + and the resulting value will be 3. + + Note that once an HMAC key has been loaded, it will no longer + be possible to enable metadata modification. Signaling that an + HMAC key has been loaded will clear the corresponding flag. + For example, if the current value is 6 (2 and 4 set):: + + echo 1 ><securityfs>/evm + + will set the new value to 3 (4 cleared). + + Loading an HMAC key is the only way to disable metadata + modification. + + Until key loading has been signaled EVM can not create + or validate the 'security.evm' xattr, but returns + INTEGRITY_UNKNOWN. Loading keys and signaling EVM + should be done as early as possible. Normally this is + done in the initramfs, which has already been measured + as part of the trusted boot. For more information on + creating and loading existing trusted/encrypted keys, + refer to: + Documentation/security/keys/trusted-encrypted.rst. Both + dracut (via 97masterkey and 98integrity) and systemd (via + core/ima-setup) have support for loading keys at boot + time. + +What: /sys/kernel/security/*/evm/evm_xattrs +Date: April 2018 +Contact: Matthew Garrett <mjg59@google.com> +Description: + Shows the set of extended attributes used to calculate or + validate the EVM signature, and allows additional attributes + to be added at runtime. Any signatures generated after + additional attributes are added (and on files possessing those + additional attributes) will only be valid if the same + additional attributes are configured on system boot. Writing + a single period (.) will lock the xattr list from any further + modification. |
