This patch set introduces CAP_SYS_PERFMON capability devoted to secure system performance monitoring and observability operations so that CAP_SYS_PERFMON would assist CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in its governing role for perf_events, i915_perf and other performance monitoring and observability subsystems of the kernel. CAP_SYS_PERFMON intends to meet the demand to secure system performance monitoring and observability operations in security sensitive, restricted, production environments (e.g. HPC clusters, cloud and virtual compute environments) where root or CAP_SYS_ADMIN credentials are not available to mass users of a system because of security considerations. CAP_SYS_PERFMON intends to harden system security and integrity during system performance monitoring and observability operations by decreasing attack surface that is available to CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileged processes [2]. CAP_SYS_PERFMON intends to take over CAP_SYS_ADMIN credentials related to system performance monitoring and observability operations and balance amount of CAP_SYS_ADMIN credentials following the recommendations in the capabilities man page [2] for CAP_SYS_ADMIN: "Note: this capability is overloaded; see Notes to kernel developers, below." For backward compatibility reasons access to system performance monitoring and observability subsystems of the kernel remains open for CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileged processes but CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability usage for secure system performance monitoring and observability operations is discouraged with respect to the introduced CAP_SYS_PERFMON capability. The patch set is for tip perf/core repository: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip perf/core sha1: ceb9e77324fa661b1001a0ae66f061b5fcb4e4e6 --- Changes in v4: - converted perfmon_capable() into an inline function - made perf_events kprobes, uprobes, hw breakpoints and namespaces data available to CAP_SYS_PERFMON privileged processes - applied perfmon_capable() to drivers/perf and drivers/oprofile - extended __cmd_ftrace() with support of CAP_SYS_PERFMON Changes in v3: - implemented perfmon_capable() macros aggregating required capabilities checks Changes in v2: - made perf_events trace points available to CAP_SYS_PERFMON privileged processes - made perf_event_paranoid_check() treat CAP_SYS_PERFMON equally to CAP_SYS_ADMIN - applied CAP_SYS_PERFMON to i915_perf, bpf_trace, powerpc and parisc system performance monitoring and observability related subsystems --- Alexey Budankov (9): capabilities: introduce CAP_SYS_PERFMON to kernel and user space perf/core: open access for CAP_SYS_PERFMON privileged process perf tool: extend Perf tool with CAP_SYS_PERFMON capability support drm/i915/perf: open access for CAP_SYS_PERFMON privileged process trace/bpf_trace: open access for CAP_SYS_PERFMON privileged process powerpc/perf: open access for CAP_SYS_PERFMON privileged process parisc/perf: open access for CAP_SYS_PERFMON privileged process drivers/perf: open access for CAP_SYS_PERFMON privileged process drivers/oprofile: open access for CAP_SYS_PERFMON privileged process arch/parisc/kernel/perf.c | 2 +- arch/powerpc/perf/imc-pmu.c | 4 ++-- drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_perf.c | 13 ++++++------- drivers/oprofile/event_buffer.c | 2 +- drivers/perf/arm_spe_pmu.c | 4 ++-- include/linux/capability.h | 4 ++++ include/linux/perf_event.h | 6 +++--- include/uapi/linux/capability.h | 8 +++++++- kernel/events/core.c | 6 +++--- kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c | 2 +- security/selinux/include/classmap.h | 4 ++-- tools/perf/builtin-ftrace.c | 5 +++-- tools/perf/design.txt | 3 ++- tools/perf/util/cap.h | 4 ++++ tools/perf/util/evsel.c | 10 +++++----- tools/perf/util/util.c | 1 + 16 files changed, 47 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-) --- Testing and validation (Intel Skylake, 8 cores, Fedora 29, 5.4.0-rc8+, x86_64): libcap library [3], [4] and Perf tool can be used to apply CAP_SYS_PERFMON capability for secure system performance monitoring and observability beyond the scope permitted by the system wide perf_event_paranoid kernel setting [5] and below are the steps for evaluation: - patch, build and boot the kernel - patch, build Perf tool e.g. to /home/user/perf ... # git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libcap/libcap.git libcap # pushd libcap # patch libcap/include/uapi/linux/capabilities.h with [PATCH 1] # make # pushd progs # ./setcap "cap_sys_perfmon,cap_sys_ptrace,cap_syslog=ep" /home/user/perf # ./setcap -v "cap_sys_perfmon,cap_sys_ptrace,cap_syslog=ep" /home/user/perf /home/user/perf: OK # ./getcap /home/user/perf /home/user/perf = cap_sys_ptrace,cap_syslog,cap_sys_perfmon+ep # echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid # cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid 2 ... $ /home/user/perf top ... works as expected ... $ cat /proc/`pidof perf`/status Name: perf Umask: 0002 State: S (sleeping) Tgid: 2958 Ngid: 0 Pid: 2958 PPid: 9847 TracerPid: 0 Uid: 500 500 500 500 Gid: 500 500 500 500 FDSize: 256 ...
