Merge tag 'selinux-pr-20230420' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/selinux

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:

- Stop passing the 'selinux_state' pointers as function arguments

As discussed during the end of the last development cycle, passing a
selinux_state pointer through the SELinux code has a noticeable
impact on performance, and with the current code it is not strictly
necessary.

This simplifies things by referring directly to the single
selinux_state global variable which should help improve SELinux
performance.

- Uninline the unlikely portions of avc_has_perm_noaudit()

This change was also based on a discussion from the last development
cycle, and is heavily based on an initial proof of concept patch from
you. The core issue was that avc_has_perm_noaudit() was not able to
be inlined, as intended, due to its size. We solved this issue by
extracting the less frequently hit portions of avc_has_perm_noaudit()
into a separate function, reducing the size of avc_has_perm_noaudit()
to the point where the compiler began inlining the function. We also
took the opportunity to clean up some ugly RCU locking in the code
that became uglier with the change.

- Remove the runtime disable functionality

After several years of work by the userspace and distro folks, we are
finally in a place where we feel comfortable removing the runtime
disable functionality which we initially deprecated at the start of
2020.

There is plenty of information in the kernel's deprecation (now
removal) notice, but the main motivation was to be able to safely
mark the LSM hook structures as '__ro_after_init'.

LWN also wrote a good summary of the deprecation this morning which
offers a more detailed history:

https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/927463/dcfa0d4ed2872f03

- Remove the checkreqprot functionality

The original checkreqprot deprecation notice stated that the removal
would happen no sooner than June 2021, which means this falls hard
into the "better late than never" bucket.

The Kconfig and deprecation notice has more detail on this setting,
but the basic idea is that we want to ensure that the SELinux policy
allows for the memory protections actually applied by the kernel, and
not those requested by the process.

While we haven't found anyone running a supported distro that is
affected by this deprecation/removal, anyone who is affected would
only need to update their policy to reflect the reality of their
applications' mapping protections.

- Minor Makefile improvements

Some minor Makefile improvements to correct some dependency issues
likely only ever seen by SELinux developers. I expect we will have at
least one more tweak to the Makefile during the next merge window,
but it didn't quite make the cutoff this time around.

selinux: remove the 'checkreqprot' functionality

We originally promised that the SELinux 'checkreqprot' functionality
would be removed no sooner than June 2021, and now that it is March
2023 it seems like it is a good time to do the final removal. The
deprecation notice in the kernel provides plenty of detail on why
'checkreqprot' is not desirable, with the key point repeated below:

This was a compatibility mechanism for legacy userspace and
for the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag. However, if set to
1, it weakens security by allowing mappings to be made executable
without authorization by policy. The default value of checkreqprot
at boot was changed starting in Linux v4.4 to 0 (i.e. check the
actual protection), and Android and Linux distributions have been
explicitly writing a "0" to /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot during
initialization for some time.

Along with the official deprecation notice, we have been discussing
this on-list and directly with several of the larger SELinux-based
distros and everyone is happy to see this feature finally removed.
In an attempt to catch all of the smaller, and DIY, Linux systems
we have been writing a deprecation notice URL into the kernel log,
along with a growing ssleep() penalty, when admins enabled
checkreqprot at runtime or via the kernel command line. We have
yet to have anyone come to us and raise an objection to the
deprecation or planned removal.

It is worth noting that while this patch removes the checkreqprot
functionality, it leaves the user visible interfaces (kernel command
line and selinuxfs file) intact, just inert. This should help
prevent breakages with existing userspace tools that correctly, but
unnecessarily, disable checkreqprot at boot or runtime. Admins
that attempt to enable checkreqprot will be met with a removal
message in the kernel log.
