2023-02-07fanotify: define struct members to hold response decision contextRichard Guy Briggs
This patch adds a flag, FAN_INFO and an extensible buffer to provide additional information about response decisions. The buffer contains one or more headers defining the information type and the length of the following information. The patch defines one additional information type, FAN_RESPONSE_INFO_AUDIT_RULE, to audit a rule number. This will allow for the creation of other information types in the future if other users of the API identify different needs. The kernel can be tested if it supports a given info type by supplying the complete info extension but setting fd to FAN_NOFD. It will return the expected size but not issue an audit record.

2022-07-01fanotify: introduce FAN_MARK_IGNOREAmir Goldstein
This flag is a new way to configure ignore mask which allows adding and removing the event flags FAN_ONDIR and FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD in ignore mask. The legacy FAN_MARK_IGNORED_MASK flag would always ignore events on directories and would ignore events on children depending on whether the FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD flag was set in the (non ignored) mask. FAN_MARK_IGNORE can be used to ignore events on children without setting FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD in the mark's mask and will not ignore events on directories unconditionally, only when FAN_ONDIR is set in ignore mask. The new behavior is non-downgradable. After calling fanotify_mark() with FAN_MARK_IGNORE once, calling fanotify_mark() with FAN_MARK_IGNORED_MASK on the same object will return EEXIST error. Setting the event flags with FAN_MARK_IGNORE on a non-dir inode mark has no meaning and will return ENOTDIR error. The meaning of FAN_MARK_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY is preserved with the new FAN_MARK_IGNORE flag, but with a few semantic differences: 1. FAN_MARK_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY is required for filesystem and mount marks and on an inode mark on a directory. Omitting this flag will return EINVAL or EISDIR error. 2. An ignore mask on a non-directory inode that survives modify could never be downgraded to an ignore mask that does not survive modify. With new FAN_MARK_IGNORE semantics we make that rule explicit - trying to update a surviving ignore mask without the flag FAN_MARK_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY will return EEXIST error. The conveniene macro FAN_MARK_IGNORE_SURV is added for (FAN_MARK_IGNORE | FAN_MARK_IGNORED_SURV_MODIFY), because the common case should use short constant names.

2022-04-25fanotify: implement "evictable" inode marksAmir Goldstein
When an inode mark is created with flag FAN_MARK_EVICTABLE, it will not pin the marked inode to inode cache, so when inode is evicted from cache due to memory pressure, the mark will be lost. When an inode mark with flag FAN_MARK_EVICATBLE is updated without using this flag, the marked inode is pinned to inode cache. When an inode mark is updated with flag FAN_MARK_EVICTABLE but an existing mark already has the inode pinned, the mark update fails with error EEXIST. Evictable inode marks can be used to setup inode marks with ignored mask to suppress events from uninteresting files or directories in a lazy manner, upon receiving the first event, without having to iterate all the uninteresting files or directories before hand. The evictbale inode mark feature allows performing this lazy marks setup without exhausting the system memory with pinned inodes. This change does not enable the feature yet.

2021-12-15fanotify: introduce group flag FAN_REPORT_TARGET_FIDAmir Goldstein
FAN_REPORT_FID is ambiguous in that it reports the fid of the child for some events and the fid of the parent for create/delete/move events. The new FAN_REPORT_TARGET_FID flag is an implicit request to report the fid of the target object of the operation (a.k.a the child inode) also in create/delete/move events in addition to the fid of the parent and the name of the child. To reduce the test matrix for uninteresting use cases, the new FAN_REPORT_TARGET_FID flag requires both FAN_REPORT_NAME and FAN_REPORT_FID. The convenience macro FAN_REPORT_DFID_NAME_TARGET combines FAN_REPORT_TARGET_FID with all the required flags.

2021-08-10fanotify: add pidfd support to the fanotify APIMatthew Bobrowski
Introduce a new flag FAN_REPORT_PIDFD for fanotify_init(2) which allows userspace applications to control whether a pidfd information record containing a pidfd is to be returned alongside the generic event metadata for each event. If FAN_REPORT_PIDFD is enabled for a notification group, an additional struct fanotify_event_info_pidfd object type will be supplied alongside the generic struct fanotify_event_metadata for a single event. This functionality is analogous to that of FAN_REPORT_FID in terms of how the event structure is supplied to a userspace application. Usage of FAN_REPORT_PIDFD with FAN_REPORT_FID/FAN_REPORT_DFID_NAME is permitted, and in this case a struct fanotify_event_info_pidfd object will likely follow any struct fanotify_event_info_fid object. Currently, the usage of the FAN_REPORT_TID flag is not permitted along with FAN_REPORT_PIDFD as the pidfd API currently only supports the creation of pidfds for thread-group leaders. Additionally, usage of the FAN_REPORT_PIDFD flag is limited to privileged processes only i.e. event listeners that are running with the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability. Attempting to supply the FAN_REPORT_TID initialization flags with FAN_REPORT_PIDFD or creating a notification group without CAP_SYS_ADMIN will result with -EINVAL being returned to the caller. In the event of a pidfd creation error, there are two types of error values that can be reported back to the listener. There is FAN_NOPIDFD, which will be reported in cases where the process responsible for generating the event has terminated prior to the event listener being able to read the event. Then there is FAN_EPIDFD, which will be reported when a more generic pidfd creation error has occurred when fanotify calls pidfd_create().

For a group with flag FAN_REPORT_NAME, the parent fid and name are reported for directory entry modification events (create/detete/move) and for events on non-directory objects. Events on directories themselves are reported with their own fid and "." as the name. The parent fid and name are reported with an info record of type FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_DFID_NAME, similar to the way that parent fid is reported with into type FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_DFID, but with an appended null terminated name string.

2020-03-25fanotify: report name info for FAN_DIR_MODIFY eventAmir Goldstein
Report event FAN_DIR_MODIFY with name in a variable length record similar to how fid's are reported. With name info reporting implemented, setting FAN_DIR_MODIFY in mark mask is now allowed. When events are reported with name, the reported fid identifies the directory and the name follows the fid. The info record type for this event info is FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_DFID_NAME. For now, all reported events have at most one info record which is either FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_FID or FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_DFID_NAME (for FAN_DIR_MODIFY). Later on, events "on child" will report both records. There are several ways that an application can use this information: 1. When watching a single directory, the name is always relative to the watched directory, so application need to fstatat(2) the name relative to the watched directory. 2. When watching a set of directories, the application could keep a map of dirfd for all watched directories and hash the map by fid obtained with name_to_handle_at(2). When getting a name event, the fid in the event info could be used to lookup the base dirfd in the map and then call fstatat(2) with that dirfd. 3. When watching a filesystem (FAN_MARK_FILESYSTEM) or a large set of directories, the application could use open_by_handle_at(2) with the fid in event info to obtain dirfd for the directory where event happened and call fstatat(2) with this dirfd. The last option scales better for a large number of watched directories. The first two options may be available in the future also for non privileged fanotify watchers, because open_by_handle_at(2) requires the CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH capability.

2020-03-25fanotify: send FAN_DIR_MODIFY event flavor with dir inode and nameAmir Goldstein
Dirent events are going to be supported in two flavors: 1. Directory fid info + mask that includes the specific event types (e.g. FAN_CREATE) and an optional FAN_ONDIR flag. 2. Directory fid info + name + mask that includes only FAN_DIR_MODIFY. To request the second event flavor, user needs to set the event type FAN_DIR_MODIFY in the mark mask. The first flavor is supported since kernel v5.1 for groups initialized with flag FAN_REPORT_FID. It is intended to be used for watching directories in "batch mode" - the watcher is notified when directory is changed and re-scans the directory content in response. This event flavor is stored more compactly in the event queue, so it is optimal for workloads with frequent directory changes. The second event flavor is intended to be used for watching large directories, where the cost of re-scan of the directory on every change is considered too high. The watcher getting the event with the directory fid and entry name is expected to call fstatat(2) to query the content of the entry after the change. Legacy inotify events are reported with name and event mask (e.g. "foo", FAN_CREATE | FAN_ONDIR). That can lead users to the conclusion that there is *currently* an entry "foo" that is a sub-directory, when in fact "foo" may be negative or non-dir by the time user gets the event. To make it clear that the current state of the named entry is unknown, when reporting an event with name info, fanotify obfuscates the specific event types (e.g. create,delete,rename) and uses a common event type - FAN_DIR_MODIFY to describe the change. This should make it harder for users to make wrong assumptions and write buggy filesystem monitors. At this point, name info reporting is not yet implemented, so trying to set FAN_DIR_MODIFY in mark mask will return -EINVAL.

Add support for events with data type FSNOTIFY_EVENT_INODE (e.g. create/attrib/move/delete) for inode and filesystem mark types. The "inode" events do not carry enough information (i.e. path) to report event->fd, so we do not allow setting a mask for those events unless group supports reporting fid. The "inode" events are not supported on a mount mark, because they do not carry enough information (i.e. path) to be filtered by mount point. The "dirent" events (create/move/delete) report the fid of the parent directory where events took place without specifying the filename of the child. In the future, fanotify may get support for reporting filename information for those events.

The fid information includes the filesystem's fsid (see statfs(2)) followed by an NFS file handle of the file that could be passed as an argument to open_by_handle_at(2).

2019-02-07fanotify: encode file identifier for FAN_REPORT_FIDAmir Goldstein

The file identifier includes the filesystem's fsid (i.e. from statfs(2)) and an NFS file handle of the file (i.e. from name_to_handle_at(2)). The file identifier makes holding the path reference and passing a file descriptor to user redundant, so those are disabled in a group with FAN_REPORT_FID. Encode fid and store it in event for a group with FAN_REPORT_FID. Up to 12 bytes of file handle on 32bit arch (16 bytes on 64bit arch) are stored inline in fanotify_event struct. Larger file handles are stored in an external allocated buffer. On failure to encode fid, we print a warning and queue the event without the fid information.

license Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default are files without license information under the default license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception which is in the kernels COPYING file: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". otherwise syscall usage would not be possible. Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

2017-10-10audit: Record fanotify access control decisionsSteve Grubb
The fanotify interface allows user space daemons to make access control decisions. Under common criteria requirements, we need to optionally record decisions based on policy. This patch adds a bit mask, FAN_AUDIT, that a user space daemon can 'or' into the response decision which will tell the kernel that it made a decision and record it. It would be used something like this in user space code: response.response = FAN_DENY | FAN_AUDIT; write(fd, &response, sizeof(struct fanotify_response)); When the syscall ends, the audit system will record the decision as a AUDIT_FANOTIFY auxiliary record to denote that the reason this event occurred is the result of an access control decision from fanotify rather than DAC or MAC policy. A sample event looks like this: type=PATH msg=audit(1504310584.332:290): item=0 name="./evil-ls" inode=1319561 dev=fc:03 mode=0100755 ouid=1000 ogid=1000 rdev=00:00 obj=unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 nametype=NORMAL type=CWD msg=audit(1504310584.332:290): cwd="/home/sgrubb" type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1504310584.332:290): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=no exit=-1 a0=32cb3fca90 a1=0 a2=43 a3=8 items=1 ppid=901 pid=959 auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000 euid=1000 suid=1000 fsuid=1000 egid=1000 sgid=1000 fsgid=1000 tty=pts1 ses=3 comm="bash" exe="/usr/bin/bash" subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t: s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) type=FANOTIFY msg=audit(1504310584.332:290): resp=2 Prior to using the audit flag, the developer needs to call fanotify_init or'ing in FAN_ENABLE_AUDIT to ensure that the kernel supports auditing. The calling process must also have the CAP_AUDIT_WRITE capability. Signed-off-by: sgrubb <sgrubb@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
