[refpolicy] [PATCH v2 0/6] Updates on init scripts and udev (mainly /run related)

[refpolicy] [PATCH v2 0/6] Updates on init scripts and udev (mainly /run related)

[Sven Vermeulen]

This is a larger set of structured changes to the system
utilities. The main drivers are supporting the new /run location,
but some smaller changes have been incorporated as well.

Changes since v1
----------------
- Use var_lock_t in the gen_require of files_pid_filetrans_lock_dir

Sven Vermeulen (6):
  Support log location for init script logging
  Allow init scripts to handle sysctls
  Supporting interfaces for the /run changes
  Allow init scripts to populate /run location
  Prepare udev interfaces for /run usage
  Allow init scripts to create and manage (udev) /run location

[refpolicy] [PATCH v2 1/6] Support log location for init script logging

[Sven Vermeulen]

Recent init script packages allow for logging init script progress (service
start/stop state information, sometimes even duration, etc.) so we introduce an
initrc_var_log_t logtype and allow initrc_t to manage this.

[refpolicy] [PATCH v2 2/6] Allow init scripts to handle sysctls

[Sven Vermeulen]

The init script(s) that set/reset the sysctl's require the sys_admin capability
(as you cannot change sysctls without it).

We typically try to separate out the sys_admin privileges since its so broad.  Can a new domain be created?

Its the init script calling the sysctl binary. We currently don't hold a
separate domain for sysctl, but that's certainly doable. I guess it would
start with allowing both initrc_t and sysadm_t to transition to sysctl_t.

But for some reason I think this has been thought of before - sysctl's are
well known throughout the policy (with specific labels for kernel sysctl's
and such). Was a new domain for sysctl's not done because there was little
need for, or am I missing something?

or create a init_script_domain() for this particular script maybe?

My guess is that its a new capability check, or its a capability check for a sysctl that isn't often set.

Yes, there are apparently a few cases in sysctls where this is hit. In my
particular case, it is on grSecurity sysctl's. There's something in the
kernel about "tainted" sysctls as well which also require the CAP_SYS_ADMIN
capability before writing to them.

That said, I removed that particular part from the patchset as I've still
got a few questions on this case. I was first going to create a sysctl_t
domain... but that one already exists, although it isn't a domain (yet) but
rather the label given to sysctl's in /proc/sys. 

I don't think it is wise to make sysctl_t a domain as well, do you? If not,
is it still a good idea to move sysctl in its own domain and would I then
need to rename sysctl_t (the current one) to something else, or look for a
other name for the domain?

Another way to handle this is to make a sysctl_initrc_t domain (like
Dominick suggested) but that'll be more different for Gentoo to take as we
currently don't use such named init scripts yet (but I have to start
supporting that anyhow sometime, so this is as good a time as any I guess).

It would be better to find another name for the domain, otherwise we'd have compatibility problems.  e.g. someone has a custom policy module installed that has a domain that sets sysctls.

I don't have a strong feeling either way.

[refpolicy] [PATCH v2 3/6] Supporting interfaces for the /run changes

[Sven Vermeulen]

Since most distributions now support /run (which, thanks the the
file context substitutions, is marked as var_run_t), we need to update the
SELinux policies to support "dynamically" building up /run. Unlike /var/run,
which is most likely statically defined during distribution installation, /run
is a tmpfs which is built up from scratch on each and every boot.

But not only that, many services also use this location for other purposes than
just PID files (which is to be expected as these "other reasons" is why /run
came to be in the first place), so we need to support other types within this
location easily.

For this reason, we introduce support to
- creating the /run/lock location
- supporting named file transitions when init scripts create stuff in /run

At boot up, the /run location is empty, and init scripts are responsible for
creating the necessary structure within to support their services. This means,
adding entries like for the lock folder (/run/lock).

[refpolicy] [PATCH v2 5/6] Prepare udev interfaces for /run usage

[Sven Vermeulen]

Recent udev implementations now use /run (actually, /run/udev) for storing
database files, rules and more. Hence, we need to extend existing interfaces to
support searching through the udev_var_run_t location (as most of that was
previously only in device_t and/or etc_t or udev_etc_t)

Next to enhancing the interfaces, we provide additional ones that will be used
by the init script (for udev) which needs to create and support the new
/run/udev locations.
