git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace update from Eric Biederman: "The only change that is production ready this round is the work to increase the number of uid and gid mappings a user namespace can support from 5 to 340. This code was carefully benchmarked and it was confirmed that in the existing cases the performance remains the same. In the worst case with 340 mappings an cache cold stat times go from 158ns to 248ns. That is noticable but still quite small, and only the people who are doing crazy things pay the cost. This work uncovered some documentation and cleanup opportunities in the mapping code, and patches to make those cleanups and improve the documentation will be coming in the next merge window" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: userns: Simplify insert_extent userns: Make map_id_down a wrapper for map_id_range_down userns: Don't read extents twice in m_start userns: Simplify the user and group mapping functions userns: Don't special case a count of 0 userns: bump idmap limits to 340 userns: use union in {g,u}idmap struct
2017-10-31userns: Simplify insert_extentEric W. Biederman1-11/+8
Consolidate the code to write to the new mapping at the end of the function to remove the duplication. Move the increase in the number of mappings into insert_extent, keeping the logic together. Just a small increase in readability and maintainability. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
2017-10-31userns: Make map_id_down a wrapper for map_id_range_downEric W. Biederman1-37/+1
There is no good reason for this code duplication, the number of cache line accesses not the number of instructions are the bottleneck in this code. Therefore simplify maintenance by removing unnecessary code. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
2017-10-31userns: Don't read extents twice in m_startEric W. Biederman1-2/+4
This is important so reading /proc/<pid>/{uid_map,gid_map,projid_map} while the map is being written does not do strange things. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
2017-10-31userns: Simplify the user and group mapping functionsEric W. Biederman1-74/+58
Consolidate reading the number of extents and computing the return value in the map_id_down, map_id_range_down and map_id_range. This removal of one read of extents makes one smp_rmb unnecessary and makes the code safe it is executed during the map write. Reading the number of extents twice and depending on the result being the same is not safe, as it could be 0 the first time and > 5 the second time, which would lead to misinterpreting the union fields. The consolidation of the return value just removes a duplicate caluculation which should make it easier to understand and maintain the code. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

2017-10-31userns: bump idmap limits to 340Christian Brauner1-30/+320
There are quite some use cases where users run into the current limit for {g,u}id mappings. Consider a user requesting us to map everything but 999, and 1001 for a given range of 1000000000 with a sub{g,u}id layout of: some-user:100000:1000000000 some-user:999:1 some-user:1000:1 some-user:1001:1 some-user:1002:1 This translates to: MAPPING-TYPE | CONTAINER | HOST | RANGE | -------------|-----------|---------|-----------| uid | 999 | 999 | 1 | uid | 1001 | 1001 | 1 | uid | 0 | 1000000 | 999 | uid | 1000 | 1001000 | 1 | uid | 1002 | 1001002 | 999998998 | ------------------------------------------------ gid | 999 | 999 | 1 | gid | 1001 | 1001 | 1 | gid | 0 | 1000000 | 999 | gid | 1000 | 1001000 | 1 | gid | 1002 | 1001002 | 999998998 | which is already the current limit. As discussed at LPC simply bumping the number of limits is not going to work since this would mean that struct uid_gid_map won't fit into a single cache-line anymore thereby regressing performance for the base-cases. The same problem seems to arise when using a single pointer. So the idea is to use struct uid_gid_extent { u32 first; u32 lower_first; u32 count; }; struct uid_gid_map { /* 64 bytes -- 1 cache line */ u32 nr_extents; union { struct uid_gid_extent extent[UID_GID_MAP_MAX_BASE_EXTENTS]; struct { struct uid_gid_extent *forward; struct uid_gid_extent *reverse; }; }; }; For the base cases we will only use the struct uid_gid_extent extent member. If we go over UID_GID_MAP_MAX_BASE_EXTENTS mappings we perform a single 4k kmalloc() which means we can have a maximum of 340 mappings (340 * size(struct uid_gid_extent) = 4080). For the latter case we use two pointers "forward" and "reverse". The forward pointer points to an array sorted by "first" and the reverse pointer points to an array sorted by "lower_first". We can then perform binary search on those arrays. Performance Testing: When Eric introduced the extent-based struct uid_gid_map approach he measured the performanc impact of his idmap changes: > My benchmark consisted of going to single user mode where nothing else was > running. On an ext4 filesystem opening 1,000,000 files and looping through all > of the files 1000 times and calling fstat on the individuals files. This was > to ensure I was benchmarking stat times where the inodes were in the kernels > cache, but the inode values were not in the processors cache. My results: > v3.4-rc1: ~= 156ns (unmodified v3.4-rc1 with user namespace support disabled) > v3.4-rc1-userns-: ~= 155ns (v3.4-rc1 with my user namespace patches and user namespace support disabled) > v3.4-rc1-userns+: ~= 164ns (v3.4-rc1 with my user namespace patches and user namespace support enabled) I used an identical approach on my laptop. Here's a thorough description of what I did. I built a 4.14.0-rc4 mainline kernel with my new idmap patches applied. I booted into single user mode and used an ext4 filesystem to open/create 1,000,000 files. Then I looped through all of the files calling fstat() on each of them 1000 times and calculated the mean fstat() time for a single file. (The test program can be found below.) Here are the results. For fun, I compared the first version of my patch which scaled linearly with the new version of the patch: | # MAPPINGS | PATCH-V1 | PATCH-NEW | |--------------|------------|-----------| | 0 mappings | 158 ns | 158 ns | | 1 mappings | 164 ns | 157 ns | | 2 mappings | 170 ns | 158 ns | | 3 mappings | 175 ns | 161 ns | | 5 mappings | 187 ns | 165 ns | | 10 mappings | 218 ns | 199 ns | | 50 mappings | 528 ns | 218 ns | | 100 mappings | 980 ns | 229 ns | | 200 mappings | 1880 ns | 239 ns | | 300 mappings | 2760 ns | 240 ns | | 340 mappings | not tested | 248 ns | Here's the test program I used.

2017-10-25locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns ↵Mark Rutland1-1/+1
to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the coccinelle script shown below and apply its output. For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in churn. However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following coccinelle script: ---- // Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and // WRITE_ONCE() // $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2017-07-20userns,pidns: Verify the userns for new pid namespacesEric W. Biederman1-8/+12
It is pointless and confusing to allow a pid namespace hierarchy and the user namespace hierarchy to get out of sync. The owner of a child pid namespace should be the owner of the parent pid namespace or a descendant of the owner of the parent pid namespace. Otherwise it is possible to construct scenarios where a process has a capability over a parent pid namespace but does not have the capability over a child pid namespace. Which confusingly makes permission checks non-transitive. It requires use of setns into a pid namespace (but not into a user namespace) to create such a scenario. Add the function in_userns to help in making this determination. v2: Optimized in_userns by using level as suggested by: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@virtuozzo.com> Ref: 49f4d8b93ccf ("pidns: Capture the user namespace and filter ns_last_pid") Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2016-09-22Merge branch 'nsfs-ioctls' into HEADEric W. Biederman1-0/+25
From: Andrey Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Each namespace has an owning user namespace and now there is not way to discover these relationships. Pid and user namepaces are hierarchical. There is no way to discover parent-child relationships too. Why we may want to know relationships between namespaces? One use would be visualization, in order to understand the running system. Another would be to answer the question: what capability does process X have to perform operations on a resource governed by namespace Y? One more use-case (which usually called abnormal) is checkpoint/restart. In CRIU we are going to dump and restore nested namespaces. There [1] was a discussion about which interface to choose to determing relationships between namespaces. Eric suggested to add two ioctl-s [2]: > Grumble, Grumble. I think this may actually a case for creating ioctls > for these two cases. Now that random nsfs file descriptors are bind > mountable the original reason for using proc files is not as pressing. > > One ioctl for the user namespace that owns a file descriptor. > One ioctl for the parent namespace of a namespace file descriptor. Here is an implementaions of these ioctl-s. $ man man7/namespaces.7 ... Since Linux 4.X, the following ioctl(2) calls are supported for namespace file descriptors. The correct syntax is: fd = ioctl(ns_fd, ioctl_type); where ioctl_type is one of the following: NS_GET_USERNS Returns a file descriptor that refers to an owning user names‐ pace. NS_GET_PARENT Returns a file descriptor that refers to a parent namespace. This ioctl(2) can be used for pid and user namespaces. For user namespaces, NS_GET_PARENT and NS_GET_USERNS have the same meaning. In addition to generic ioctl(2) errors, the following specific ones can occur: EINVAL NS_GET_PARENT was called for a nonhierarchical namespace. EPERM The requested namespace is outside of the current namespace scope.

2015-09-04capabilities: ambient capabilitiesAndy Lutomirski1-0/+1
Credit where credit is due: this idea comes from Christoph Lameter with a lot of valuable input from Serge Hallyn. This patch is heavily based on Christoph's patch. ===== The status quo ===== On Linux, there are a number of capabilities defined by the kernel. To perform various privileged tasks, processes can wield capabilities that they hold. Each task has four capability masks: effective (pE), permitted (pP), inheritable (pI), and a bounding set (X). When the kernel checks for a capability, it checks pE. The other capability masks serve to modify what capabilities can be in pE. Any task can remove capabilities from pE, pP, or pI at any time. If a task has a capability in pP, it can add that capability to pE and/or pI. If a task has CAP_SETPCAP, then it can add any capability to pI, and it can remove capabilities from X. Tasks are not the only things that can have capabilities; files can also have capabilities. A file can have no capabilty information at all [1]. If a file has capability information, then it has a permitted mask (fP) and an inheritable mask (fI) as well as a single effective bit (fE) [2]. File capabilities modify the capabilities of tasks that execve(2) them. A task that successfully calls execve has its capabilities modified for the file ultimately being excecuted (i.e. the binary itself if that binary is ELF or for the interpreter if the binary is a script.) [3] In the capability evolution rules, for each mask Z, pZ represents the old value and pZ' represents the new value. The rules are: pP' = (X & fP) | (pI & fI) pI' = pI pE' = (fE ? pP' : 0) X is unchanged For setuid binaries, fP, fI, and fE are modified by a moderately complicated set of rules that emulate POSIX behavior. Similarly, if euid == 0 or ruid == 0, then fP, fI, and fE are modified differently (primary, fP and fI usually end up being the full set). For nonroot users executing binaries with neither setuid nor file caps, fI and fP are empty and fE is false. As an extra complication, if you execute a process as nonroot and fE is set, then the "secure exec" rules are in effect: AT_SECURE gets set, LD_PRELOAD doesn't work, etc. This is rather messy. We've learned that making any changes is dangerous, though: if a new kernel version allows an unprivileged program to change its security state in a way that persists cross execution of a setuid program or a program with file caps, this persistent state is surprisingly likely to allow setuid or file-capped programs to be exploited for privilege escalation. ===== The problem ===== Capability inheritance is basically useless. If you aren't root and you execute an ordinary binary, fI is zero, so your capabilities have no effect whatsoever on pP'. This means that you can't usefully execute a helper process or a shell command with elevated capabilities if you aren't root. On current kernels, you can sort of work around this by setting fI to the full set for most or all non-setuid executable files. This causes pP' = pI for nonroot, and inheritance works. No one does this because it's a PITA and it isn't even supported on most filesystems. If you try this, you'll discover that every nonroot program ends up with secure exec rules, breaking many things. This is a problem that has bitten many people who have tried to use capabilities for anything useful. ===== The proposed change ===== This patch adds a fifth capability mask called the ambient mask (pA). pA does what most people expect pI to do. pA obeys the invariant that no bit can ever be set in pA if it is not set in both pP and pI. Dropping a bit from pP or pI drops that bit from pA. This ensures that existing programs that try to drop capabilities still do so, with a complication. Because capability inheritance is so broken, setting KEEPCAPS, using setresuid to switch to nonroot uids, and then calling execve effectively drops capabilities. Therefore, setresuid from root to nonroot conditionally clears pA unless SECBIT_NO_SETUID_FIXUP is set. Processes that don't like this can re-add bits to pA afterwards. The capability evolution rules are changed: pA' = (file caps or setuid or setgid ? 0 : pA) pP' = (X & fP) | (pI & fI) | pA' pI' = pI pE' = (fE ? pP' : pA') X is unchanged If you are nonroot but you have a capability, you can add it to pA. If you do so, your children get that capability in pA, pP, and pE. For example, you can set pA = CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE, and your children can automatically bind low-numbered ports. Hallelujah! Unprivileged users can create user namespaces, map themselves to a nonzero uid, and create both privileged (relative to their namespace) and unprivileged process trees. This is currently more or less impossible. Hallelujah! You cannot use pA to try to subvert a setuid, setgid, or file-capped program: if you execute any such program, pA gets cleared and the resulting evolution rules are unchanged by this patch. Users with nonzero pA are unlikely to unintentionally leak that capability. If they run programs that try to drop privileges, dropping privileges will still work. It's worth noting that the degree of paranoia in this patch could possibly be reduced without causing serious problems. Specifically, if we allowed pA to persist across executing non-pA-aware setuid binaries and across setresuid, then, naively, the only capabilities that could leak as a result would be the capabilities in pA, and any attacker *already* has those capabilities. This would make me nervous, though -- setuid binaries that tried to privilege-separate might fail to do so, and putting CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH or CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE into pA could have unexpected side effects. (Whether these unexpected side effects would be exploitable is an open question.) I've therefore taken the more paranoid route. We can revisit this later. An alternative would be to require PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS before setting ambient capabilities. I think that this would be annoying and would make granting otherwise unprivileged users minor ambient capabilities (CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE or CAP_NET_RAW for example) much less useful than it is with this patch. ===== Footnotes ===== [1] Files that are missing the "security.capability" xattr or that have unrecognized values for that xattr end up with has_cap set to false. The code that does that appears to be complicated for no good reason. [2] The libcap capability mask parsers and formatters are dangerously misleading and the documentation is flat-out wrong. fE is *not* a mask; it's a single bit. This has probably confused every single person who has tried to use file capabilities. [3] Linux very confusingly processes both the script and the interpreter if applicable, for reasons that elude me.

The code that places signals in signal queues computes the uids, gids, and pids at the time the signals are enqueued. Which means that tasks that share signal queues must be in the same pid and user namespaces. Sharing signal handlers is fine, but bizarre. So make the code in fork and userns_install clearer by only testing for what is functionally necessary.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace related fixes from Eric Biederman: "As these are bug fixes almost all of thes changes are marked for backporting to stable. The first change (implicitly adding MNT_NODEV on remount) addresses a regression that was created when security issues with unprivileged remount were closed. I go on to update the remount test to make it easy to detect if this issue reoccurs. Then there are a handful of mount and umount related fixes. Then half of the changes deal with the a recently discovered design bug in the permission checks of gid_map. Unix since the beginning has allowed setting group permissions on files to less than the user and other permissions (aka ---rwx---rwx). As the unix permission checks stop as soon as a group matches, and setgroups allows setting groups that can not later be dropped, results in a situtation where it is possible to legitimately use a group to assign fewer privileges to a process. Which means dropping a group can increase a processes privileges. The fix I have adopted is that gid_map is now no longer writable without privilege unless the new file /proc/self/setgroups has been set to permanently disable setgroups. The bulk of user namespace using applications even the applications using applications using user namespaces without privilege remain unaffected by this change. Unfortunately this ix breaks a couple user space applications, that were relying on the problematic behavior (one of which was tools/selftests/mount/unprivileged-remount-test.c). To hopefully prevent needing a regression fix on top of my security fix I rounded folks who work with the container implementations mostly like to be affected and encouraged them to test the changes. > So far nothing broke on my libvirt-lxc test bed. :-) > Tested with openSUSE 13.2 and libvirt 1.2.9. > Tested-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at> > Tested on Fedora20 with libvirt 1.2.11, works fine. > Tested-by: Chen Hanxiao <chenhanxiao@cn.fujitsu.com> > Ok, thanks - yes, unprivileged lxc is working fine with your kernels. > Just to be sure I was testing the right thing I also tested using > my unprivileged nsexec testcases, and they failed on setgroup/setgid > as now expected, and succeeded there without your patches. > Tested-by: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@ubuntu.com> > I tested this with Sandstorm.

Now that setgroups can be disabled and not reenabled, setting gid_map without privielge can now be enabled when setgroups is disabled. This restores most of the functionality that was lost when unprivileged setting of gid_map was removed. Applications that use this functionality will need to check to see if they use setgroups or init_groups, and if they don't they can be fixed by simply disabling setgroups before writing to gid_map.

2014-12-11userns: Add a knob to disable setgroups on a per user namespace basisEric W. Biederman1-0/+85
- Expose the knob to user space through a proc file /proc/<pid>/setgroups A value of "deny" means the setgroups system call is disabled in the current processes user namespace and can not be enabled in the future in this user namespace. A value of "allow" means the segtoups system call is enabled. - Descendant user namespaces inherit the value of setgroups from their parents. - A proc file is used (instead of a sysctl) as sysctls currently do not allow checking the permissions at open time. - Writing to the proc file is restricted to before the gid_map for the user namespace is set. This ensures that disabling setgroups at a user namespace level will never remove the ability to call setgroups from a process that already has that ability. A process may opt in to the setgroups disable for itself by creating, entering and configuring a user namespace or by calling setns on an existing user namespace with setgroups disabled. Processes without privileges already can not call setgroups so this is a noop. Prodcess with privilege become processes without privilege when entering a user namespace and as with any other path to dropping privilege they would not have the ability to call setgroups. So this remains within the bounds of what is possible without a knob to disable setgroups permanently in a user namespace. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

If you did not create the user namespace and are allowed to write to uid_map or gid_map you should already have the necessary privilege in the parent user namespace to establish any mapping you want so this will not affect userspace in practice. Limiting unprivileged uid mapping establishment to the creator of the user namespace makes it easier to verify all credentials obtained with the uid mapping can be obtained without the uid mapping without privilege. Limiting unprivileged gid mapping establishment (which is temporarily absent) to the creator of the user namespace also ensures that the combination of uid and gid can already be obtained without privilege.

Therefor it is safe to allow an unprivileged user to map their euid and use CAP_SETUID privileged with exactly that uid, as no new credentials can be obtained.

As any gid mapping will allow and must allow for backwards compatibility dropping groups don't allow any gid mappings to be established without CAP_SETGID in the parent user namespace. For a small class of applications this change breaks userspace and removes useful functionality. This small class of applications includes tools/testing/selftests/mount/unprivilged-remount-test.c Most of the removed functionality will be added back with the addition of a one way knob to disable setgroups. Once setgroups is disabled setting the gid_map becomes as safe as setting the uid_map.

2014-12-09userns: Don't allow setgroups until a gid mapping has been setablishedEric W. Biederman1-0/+14
setgroups is unique in not needing a valid mapping before it can be called, in the case of setgroups(0, NULL) which drops all supplemental groups. The design of the user namespace assumes that CAP_SETGID can not actually be used until a gid mapping is established. Therefore add a helper function to see if the user namespace gid mapping has been established and call that function in the setgroups permission check. This is part of the fix for CVE-2014-8989, being able to drop groups without privilege using user namespaces.

2014-12-05userns: Document what the invariant required for safe unprivileged mappings.Eric W. Biederman1-1/+3
The rule is simple. Don't allow anything that wouldn't be allowed without unprivileged mappings. It was previously overlooked that establishing gid mappings would allow dropping groups and potentially gaining permission to files and directories that had lesser permissions for a specific group than for all other users. This is the rule needed to fix CVE-2014-8989 and prevent any other security issues with new_idmap_permitted. The reason for this rule is that the unix permission model is old and there are programs out there somewhere that take advantage of every little corner of it. So allowing a uid or gid mapping to be established without privielge that would allow anything that would not be allowed without that mapping will result in expectations from some code somewhere being violated. Violated expectations about the behavior of the OS is a long way to say a security issue. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

smp_read_barrier_depends() can be used if there is data dependency between the readers - i.e. if the read operation after the barrier uses address that was obtained from the read operation before the barrier. In this file, there is only control dependency, no data dependecy, so the use of smp_read_barrier_depends() is incorrect. The code could fail in the following way: * the cpu predicts that idx < entries is true and starts executing the body of the for loop * the cpu fetches map->extent[0].first and map->extent[0].count * the cpu fetches map->nr_extents * the cpu verifies that idx < extents is true, so it commits the instructions in the body of the for loop The problem is that in this scenario, the cpu read map->extent[0].first and map->nr_extents in the wrong order.

2014-04-03kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of module_init in core codePaul Gortmaker1-1/+1
Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig (built-in or absent) can never be modular. So using module_init as an alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading. Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing. The audit targets the following module_init users for change: kernel/user.c obj-y kernel/kexec.c bool KEXEC (one instance per arch) kernel/profile.c bool PROFILING kernel/hung_task.c bool DETECT_HUNG_TASK kernel/sched/stats.c bool SCHEDSTATS kernel/user_namespace.c bool USER_NS Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level 4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that difference has been observed during testing. Also, two instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed in kexec.

2013-09-24KEYS: Add per-user_namespace registers for persistent per-UID kerberos cachesDavid Howells1-0/+6
Add support for per-user_namespace registers of persistent per-UID kerberos caches held within the kernel. This allows the kerberos cache to be retained beyond the life of all a user's processes so that the user's cron jobs can work. The kerberos cache is envisioned as a keyring/key tree looking something like: struct user_namespace \___ .krb_cache keyring - The register \___ _krb.0 keyring - Root's Kerberos cache \___ _krb.5000 keyring - User 5000's Kerberos cache \___ _krb.5001 keyring - User 5001's Kerberos cache \___ tkt785 big_key - A ccache blob \___ tkt12345 big_key - Another ccache blob Or possibly: struct user_namespace \___ .krb_cache keyring - The register \___ _krb.0 keyring - Root's Kerberos cache \___ _krb.5000 keyring - User 5000's Kerberos cache \___ _krb.5001 keyring - User 5001's Kerberos cache \___ tkt785 keyring - A ccache \___ krbtgt/REDHAT.COM@REDHAT.COM big_key \___ http/REDHAT.COM@REDHAT.COM user \___ afs/REDHAT.COM@REDHAT.COM user \___ nfs/REDHAT.COM@REDHAT.COM user \___ krbtgt/KERNEL.ORG@KERNEL.ORG big_key \___ http/KERNEL.ORG@KERNEL.ORG big_key What goes into a particular Kerberos cache is entirely up to userspace. Kernel support is limited to giving you the Kerberos cache keyring that you want. The user asks for their Kerberos cache by: krb_cache = keyctl_get_krbcache(uid, dest_keyring); The uid is -1 or the user's own UID for the user's own cache or the uid of some other user's cache (requires CAP_SETUID). This permits rpc.gssd or whatever to mess with the cache. The cache returned is a keyring named "_krb.<uid>" that the possessor can read, search, clear, invalidate, unlink from and add links to. Active LSMs get a chance to rule on whether the caller is permitted to make a link. Each uid's cache keyring is created when it first accessed and is given a timeout that is extended each time this function is called so that the keyring goes away after a while. The timeout is configurable by sysctl but defaults to three days. Each user_namespace struct gets a lazily-created keyring that serves as the register. The cache keyrings are added to it. This means that standard key search and garbage collection facilities are available. The user_namespace struct's register goes away when it does and anything left in it is then automatically gc'd.

Rely on the fact that another flavor of the filesystem is already mounted and do not rely on state in the user namespace. Verify that the mounted filesystem is not covered in any significant way. I would love to verify that the previously mounted filesystem has no mounts on top but there are at least the directories /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc and /sys/fs/cgroup/ that exist explicitly for other filesystems to mount on top of. Refactor the test into a function named fs_fully_visible and call that function from the mount routines of proc and sysfs. This makes this test local to the filesystems involved and the results current of when the mounts take place, removing a weird threading of the user namespace, the mount namespace and the filesystems themselves.
