From d22c3e0088e85be8131f7a9283f759cdbb20726d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Schnelle Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 11:29:53 +0200 Subject: selftests/ftrace: Fix unique symbol check in kprobe_non_uniq_symbol.tc The current regex also matches symbols in modules, which makes the test fail on s390 where name_show is present only once in the kernel, but also multiple times in modules: 000001b1401cdc20 t name_show 000001b0c05e6c40 t name_show [mdev] 000001b0c0495f30 t name_show [i2c_core] Fix this by changing the regular expression to only match the function name.

The name +"module" is a bit of a misnomer since these extensions are not actually +loadable kernel modules. Instead, they are selectable at build-time via +CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECURITY and can be overridden at boot-time via the +``"security=..."`` kernel command line argument, in the case where multiple +LSMs were built into a given kernel. + +The primary users of the LSM interface are Mandatory Access Control +(MAC) extensions which provide a comprehensive security policy. Examples +include SELinux, Smack, Tomoyo, and AppArmor. In addition to the larger +MAC extensions, other extensions can be built using the LSM to provide +specific changes to system operation when these tweaks are not available +in the core functionality of Linux itself. + +The Linux capabilities modules will always be included. This may be +followed by any number of "minor" modules and at most one "major" module. +For more details on capabilities, see ``capabilities(7)`` in the Linux +man-pages project. + +A list of the active security modules can be found by reading +``/sys/kernel/security/lsm``. This is a comma separated list, and +will always include the capability module. The list reflects the +order in which checks are made. The capability module will always +be first, followed by any "minor" modules (e.g. Yama) and then +the one "major" module (e.g. SELinux) if there is one configured. + +Process attributes associated with "major" security modules should +be accessed and maintained using the special files in ``/proc/.../attr``. +A security module may maintain a module specific subdirectory there, +named after the module. ``/proc/.../attr/smack`` is provided by the Smack +security module and contains all its special files. The files directly +in ``/proc/.../attr`` remain as legacy interfaces for modules that provide +subdirectories. + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 1 + + apparmor + LoadPin + SELinux + Smack + tomoyo + Yama + SafeSetID + ipe + landlock -- cgit v1.3.1
