LSM hooks are currently invoked from a linked list as indirect calls
which are invoked using retpolines as a mitigation for speculative
attacks (Branch History / Target injection) and add extra overhead which
is especially bad in kernel hot paths:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Indirect calls that use retpolines leading to overhead, not just due
to extra instruction but also branch misses.

0xff...035f <+63>: pop %rbp
0xff...0360 <+64>: jmp 0xff...47c4 <__x86_return_thunk>
The indirect calls are not really needed as one knows the addresses of
enabled LSM callbacks at boot time and only the order can possibly
change at boot time with the lsm= kernel command line parameter.
An array of static calls is defined per LSM hook and the static calls
are updated at boot time once the order has been determined.
With the hook now exposed as a static call, one can see that the
retpolines are no longer there and the LSM callbacks are invoked
directly:

While this patch uses static_branch_unlikely indicating that an LSM hook
is likely to be not present. In most cases this is still a better choice
as even when an LSM with one hook is added, empty slots are created for
all LSM hooks (especially when many LSMs that do not initialize most
hooks are present on the system).
There are some hooks that don't use the call_int_hook or
call_void_hook. These hooks are updated to use a new macro called
lsm_for_each_hook where the lsm_callback is directly invoked as an
indirect call.
Below are results of the relevant Unixbench system benchmarks with BPF LSM
and SELinux enabled with default policies enabled with and without these
patches.

This patch introduces a new LSM blob to the block_device structure,
enabling the security subsystem to store security-sensitive data related
to block devices. Currently, for a device mapper's mapped device containing
a dm-verity target, critical security information such as the roothash and
its signing state are not readily accessible. Specifically, while the
dm-verity volume creation process passes the dm-verity roothash and its
signature from userspace to the kernel, the roothash is stored privately
within the dm-verity target, and its signature is discarded
post-verification. This makes it extremely hard for the security subsystem
to utilize these data.
With the addition of the LSM blob to the block_device structure, the
security subsystem can now retain and manage important security metadata
such as the roothash and the signing state of a dm-verity by storing them
inside the blob. Access decisions can then be based on these stored data.
The implementation follows the same approach used for security blobs in
other structures like struct file, struct inode, and struct superblock.
The initialization of the security blob occurs after the creation of the
struct block_device, performed by the security subsystem. Similarly, the
security blob is freed by the security subsystem before the struct
block_device is deallocated or freed.
This patch also introduces a new hook security_bdev_setintegrity() to save
block device's integrity data to the new LSM blob. For example, for
dm-verity, it can use this hook to expose its roothash and signing state
to LSMs, then LSMs can save these data into the LSM blob.
Please note that the new hook should be invoked every time the security
information is updated to keep these data current. For example, in
dm-verity, if the mapping table is reloaded and configured to use a
different dm-verity target with a new roothash and signing information,
the previously stored data in the LSM blob will become obsolete. It is
crucial to re-invoke the hook to refresh these data and ensure they are up
to date. This necessity arises from the design of device-mapper, where a
device-mapper device is first created, and then targets are subsequently
loaded into it. These targets can be modified multiple times during the
device's lifetime. Therefore, while the LSM blob is allocated during the
creation of the block device, its actual contents are not initialized at
this stage and can change substantially over time. This includes
alterations from data that the LSM 'trusts' to those it does not, making
it essential to handle these changes correctly. Failure to address this
dynamic aspect could potentially allow for bypassing LSM checks.

Create a system call lsm_get_self_attr() to provide the security
module maintained attributes of the current process.
Create a system call lsm_set_self_attr() to set a security
module maintained attribute of the current process.
Historically these attributes have been exposed to user space via
entries in procfs under /proc/self/attr.
The attribute value is provided in a lsm_ctx structure. The structure
identifies the size of the attribute, and the attribute value. The format
of the attribute value is defined by the security module. A flags field
is included for LSM specific information. It is currently unused and must
be 0. The total size of the data, including the lsm_ctx structure and any
padding, is maintained as well.
struct lsm_ctx {
__u64 id;
__u64 flags;
__u64 len;
__u64 ctx_len;
__u8 ctx[];
};
Two new LSM hooks are used to interface with the LSMs.
security_getselfattr() collects the lsm_ctx values from the
LSMs that support the hook, accounting for space requirements.
security_setselfattr() identifies which LSM the attribute is
intended for and passes it along.

Currently, the LSM infrastructure supports only one LSM providing an xattr
and EVM calculating the HMAC on that xattr, plus other inode metadata.
Allow all LSMs to provide one or multiple xattrs, by extending the security
blob reservation mechanism. Introduce the new lbs_xattr_count field of the
lsm_blob_sizes structure, so that each LSM can specify how many xattrs it
needs, and the LSM infrastructure knows how many xattr slots it should
allocate.
Modify the inode_init_security hook definition, by passing the full
xattr array allocated in security_inode_init_security(), and the current
number of xattr slots in that array filled by LSMs. The first parameter
would allow EVM to access and calculate the HMAC on xattrs supplied by
other LSMs, the second to not leave gaps in the xattr array, when an LSM
requested but did not provide xattrs (e.g. if it is not initialized).
Introduce lsm_get_xattr_slot(), which LSMs can call as many times as the
number specified in the lbs_xattr_count field of the lsm_blob_sizes
structure. During each call, lsm_get_xattr_slot() increments the number of
filled xattrs, so that at the next invocation it returns the next xattr
slot to fill.
Cleanup security_inode_init_security(). Unify the !initxattrs and
initxattrs case by simply not allocating the new_xattrs array in the
former. Update the documentation to reflect the changes, and fix the
description of the xattr name, as it is not allocated anymore.
Adapt both SELinux and Smack to use the new definition of the
inode_init_security hook, and to call lsm_get_xattr_slot() to obtain and
fill the reserved slots in the xattr array.
Move the xattr->name assignment after the xattr->value one, so that it is
done only in case of successful memory allocation.
Finally, change the default return value of the inode_init_security hook
from zero to -EOPNOTSUPP, so that BPF LSM correctly follows the hook
conventions.

Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:
- Move the LSM hook comment blocks into security/security.c
For many years the LSM hook comment blocks were located in a very odd
place, include/linux/lsm_hooks.h, where they lived on their own,
disconnected from both the function prototypes and definitions.
In keeping with current kernel conventions, this moves all of these
comment blocks to the top of the function definitions, transforming
them into the kdoc format in the process. This should make it much
easier to maintain these comments, which are the main source of LSM
hook documentation.
For the most part the comment contents were left as-is, although some
glaring errors were corrected. Expect additional edits in the future
as we slowly update and correct the comment blocks.
This is the bulk of the diffstat.
- Introduce LSM_ORDER_LAST
Similar to how LSM_ORDER_FIRST is used to specify LSMs which should
be ordered before "normal" LSMs, the LSM_ORDER_LAST is used to
specify LSMs which should be ordered after "normal" LSMs.
This is one of the prerequisites for transitioning IMA/EVM to a
proper LSM.
- Remove the security_old_inode_init_security() hook
The security_old_inode_init_security() LSM hook only allows for a
single xattr which is problematic both for LSM stacking and the
IMA/EVM-as-a-LSM effort. This finishes the conversion over to the
security_inode_init_security() hook and removes the single-xattr LSM
hook.
- Fix a reiserfs problem with security xattrs
During the security_old_inode_init_security() removal work it became
clear that reiserfs wasn't handling security xattrs properly so we
fixed it.

After working with the larger SELinux-based distros for several
years, we're finally at a place where we can disable the SELinux
runtime disable functionality. The existing kernel deprecation
notice explains the functionality and why we want to remove it:
The selinuxfs "disable" node allows SELinux to be disabled at
runtime prior to a policy being loaded into the kernel. If
disabled via this mechanism, SELinux will remain disabled until
the system is rebooted.
The preferred method of disabling SELinux is via the "selinux=0"
boot parameter, but the selinuxfs "disable" node was created to
make it easier for systems with primitive bootloaders that did not
allow for easy modification of the kernel command line.
Unfortunately, allowing for SELinux to be disabled at runtime makes
it difficult to secure the kernel's LSM hooks using the
"__ro_after_init" feature.
It is that last sentence, mentioning the '__ro_after_init' hardening,
which is the real motivation for this change, and if you look at the
diffstat you'll see that the impact of this patch reaches across all
the different LSMs, helping prevent tampering at the LSM hook level.
From a SELinux perspective, it is important to note that if you
continue to disable SELinux via "/etc/selinux/config" it may appear
that SELinux is disabled, but it is simply in an uninitialized state.
If you load a policy with `load_policy -i`, you will see SELinux
come alive just as if you had loaded the policy during early-boot.
It is also worth noting that the "/sys/fs/selinux/disable" file is
always writable now, regardless of the Kconfig settings, but writing
to the file has no effect on the system, other than to display an
error on the console if a non-zero/true value is written.
Finally, in the several years where we have been working on
deprecating this functionality, there has only been one instance of
someone mentioning any user visible breakage. In this particular
case it was an individual's kernel test system, and the workaround
documented in the deprecation notice ("selinux=0" on the kernel
command line) resolved the issue without problem.

Introduce LSM_ORDER_LAST, to satisfy the requirement of LSMs needing to be
last, e.g. the 'integrity' LSM, without changing the kernel command line or
configuration.
Also, set this order for the 'integrity' LSM. While not enforced, this is
the only LSM expected to use it.
Similarly to LSM_ORDER_FIRST, LSMs with LSM_ORDER_LAST are always enabled
and put at the end of the LSM list, if selected in the kernel
configuration. Setting one of these orders alone, does not cause the LSMs
to be selected and compiled built-in in the kernel.
Finally, for LSM_ORDER_MUTABLE LSMs, set the found variable to true if an
LSM is found, regardless of its order. In this way, the kernel would not
wrongly report that the LSM is not built-in in the kernel if its order is
LSM_ORDER_LAST.

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.
Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.
Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:
- Improve the error handling in the device cgroup such that memory
allocation failures when updating the access policy do not
potentially alter the policy.
- Some minor fixes to reiserfs to ensure that it properly releases
LSM-related xattr values.
- Update the security_socket_getpeersec_stream() LSM hook to take
sockptr_t values.
Previously the net/BPF folks updated the getsockopt code in the
network stack to leverage the sockptr_t type to make it easier to
pass both kernel and __user pointers, but unfortunately when they did
so they didn't convert the LSM hook.
While there was/is no immediate risk by not converting the LSM hook,
it seems like this is a mistake waiting to happen so this patch
proactively does the LSM hook conversion.
- Convert vfs_getxattr_alloc() to return an int instead of a ssize_t
and cleanup the callers. Internally the function was never going to
return anything larger than an int and the callers were doing some
very odd things casting the return value; this patch fixes all that
and helps bring a bit of sanity to vfs_getxattr_alloc() and its
callers.
- More verbose, and helpful, LSM debug output when the system is booted
with "lsm.debug" on the command line. There are examples in the
commit description, but the quick summary is that this patch provides
better information about which LSMs are enabled and the ordering in
which they are processed.
- General comment and kernel-doc fixes and cleanups.

Pull landlock updates from Mickaël Salaün:
"This adds file truncation support to Landlock, contributed by Günther
Noack. As described by Günther [1], the goal of these patches is to
work towards a more complete coverage of file system operations that
are restrictable with Landlock.
The known set of currently unsupported file system operations in
Landlock is described at [2]. Out of the operations listed there,
truncate is the only one that modifies file contents, so these patches
should make it possible to prevent the direct modification of file
contents with Landlock.
The new LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE access right covers both the
truncate(2) and ftruncate(2) families of syscalls, as well as open(2)
with the O_TRUNC flag. This includes usages of creat() in the case
where existing regular files are overwritten.
Additionally, this introduces a new Landlock security blob associated
with opened files, to track the available Landlock access rights at
the time of opening the file. This is in line with Unix's general
approach of checking the read and write permissions during open(), and
associating this previously checked authorization with the opened
file. An ongoing patch documents this use case [3].
In order to treat truncate(2) and ftruncate(2) calls differently in an
LSM hook, we split apart the existing security_path_truncate hook into
security_path_truncate (for truncation by path) and
security_file_truncate (for truncation of previously opened files)"
