* Move "options MAC" from opt_mac.h to opt_global.h, as it's now in GENERICrwatson2009-06-051-1/+0
| | | | | | | | and used in a large number of files, but also because an increasing number of incorrect uses of MAC calls were sneaking in due to copy-and-paste of MAC-aware code without the associated opt_mac.h include. Discussed with: pjd
* Reduce the verbosity of SDT trace points for DTrace by defining severalrwatson2009-03-031-6/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | wrapper macros that allow trace points and arguments to be declared using a single macro rather than several. This means a lot less repetition and vertical space for each trace point. Use these macros when defining privilege and MAC Framework trace points. Reviewed by: jb MFC after: 1 week
* Add static tracing for privilege checking:rwatson2009-02-261-9/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | priv:kernel:priv_check:priv_ok fires for granted privileges priv:kernel:priv_check:priv_errr fires for denied privileges The first argument is the requested privilege number. The naming convention is a little different from the OpenSolaris equivilent because we can't have '-' in probefunc names, and our privilege namespace is different. MFC after: 1 week
* Remove the suser(9) interface from the kernel. It has been replaced fromattilio2008-09-171-21/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | years by the priv_check(9) interface and just very few places are left. Note that compatibility stub with older FreeBSD version (all above the 8 limit though) are left in order to reduce diffs against old versions. It is responsibility of the maintainers for any module, if they think it is the case, to axe out such cases. This patch breaks KPI so __FreeBSD_version will be bumped into a later commit. This patch needs to be credited 50-50 with rwatson@ as he found time to explain me how the priv_check() works in detail and to review patches.

* Rather than passing SUSER_RUID into priv_check_cred() to specify whenrwatson2007-06-161-7/+18
| | | | | | | | | | a privilege is checked against the real uid rather than the effective uid, instead decide which uid to use in priv_check_cred() based on the privilege passed in. We use the real uid for PRIV_MAXFILES, PRIV_MAXPROC, and PRIV_PROC_LIMIT. Remove the definition of SUSER_RUID; there are now no flags defined for priv_check_cred(). Obtained from: TrustedBSD Project
* Eliminate now-unused SUSER_ALLOWJAIL arguments to priv_check_cred(); inrwatson2007-06-121-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | some cases, move to priv_check() if it was an operation on a thread and no other flags were present. Eliminate caller-side jail exception checking (also now-unused); jail privilege exception code now goes solely in kern_jail.c. We can't yet eliminate suser() due to some cases in the KAME code where a privilege check is performed and then used in many different deferred paths. Do, however, move those prototypes to priv.h.

* Add a new priv(9) kernel interface for checking the availability ofrwatson2006-11-061-0/+154
privilege for threads and credentials. Unlike the existing suser(9) interface, priv(9) exposes a named privilege identifier to the privilege checking code, allowing more complex policies regarding the granting of privilege to be expressed. Two interfaces are provided, replacing the existing suser(9) interface: suser(td) -> priv_check(td, priv) suser_cred(cred, flags) -> priv_check_cred(cred, priv, flags) A comprehensive list of currently available kernel privileges may be found in priv.h. New privileges are easily added as required, but the comments on adding privileges found in priv.h and priv(9) should be read before doing so. The new privilege interface exposed sufficient information to the privilege checking routine that it will now be possible for jail to determine whether a particular privilege is granted in the check routine, rather than relying on hints from the calling context via the SUSER_ALLOWJAIL flag. For now, the flag is maintained, but a new jail check function, prison_priv_check(), is exposed from kern_jail.c and used by the privilege check routine to determine if the privilege is permitted in jail. As a result, a centralized list of privileges permitted in jail is now present in kern_jail.c. The MAC Framework is now also able to instrument privilege checks, both to deny privileges otherwise granted (mac_priv_check()), and to grant privileges otherwise denied (mac_priv_grant()), permitting MAC Policy modules to implement privilege models, as well as control a much broader range of system behavior in order to constrain processes running with root privilege. The suser() and suser_cred() functions remain implemented, now in terms of priv_check() and the PRIV_ROOT privilege, for use during the transition and possibly continuing use by third party kernel modules that have not been updated. The PRIV_DRIVER privilege exists to allow device drivers to check privilege without adopting a more specific privilege identifier. This change does not modify the actual security policy, rather, it modifies the interface for privilege checks so changes to the security policy become more feasible.
