What: security/ima/policy

Description:
The Trusted Computing Group(TCG) runtime Integrity
Measurement Architecture(IMA) maintains a list of hash
values of executables and other sensitive system files
loaded into the run-time of this system. At runtime,
the policy can be constrained based on LSM specific data.
Policies are loaded into the securityfs file ima/policy
by opening the file, writing the rules one at a time and
then closing the file. The new policy takes effect after
the file ima/policy is closed.

rule format: action [condition ...]

action: measure | dont_measure
condition:= base | lsm
base: [[func=] [mask=] [fsmagic=] [uid=]]
lsm: [[subj_user=] [subj_role=] [subj_type=]
[obj_user=] [obj_role=] [obj_type=]]

base: func:= [BPRM_CHECK][FILE_MMAP][INODE_PERMISSION]
mask:= [MAY_READ] [MAY_WRITE] [MAY_APPEND] [MAY_EXEC]
fsmagic:= hex value
uid:= decimal value
lsm: are LSM specific

default policy:
# PROC_SUPER_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0x9fa0
# SYSFS_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0x62656572
# DEBUGFS_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0x64626720
# TMPFS_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0x01021994
# SECURITYFS_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0x73636673

measure func=BPRM_CHECK
measure func=FILE_MMAP mask=MAY_EXEC
measure func=INODE_PERM mask=MAY_READ uid=0

The default policy measures all executables in bprm_check,
all files mmapped executable in file_mmap, and all files
open for read by root in inode_permission.

Examples of LSM specific definitions:

SELinux:
# SELINUX_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0xF97CFF8C

dont_measure obj_type=var_log_t
dont_measure obj_type=auditd_log_t
measure subj_user=system_u func=INODE_PERM mask=MAY_READ
measure subj_role=system_r func=INODE_PERM mask=MAY_READ

Smack:

Description:
Writing a device ID to this file will attempt to
dynamically add a new device ID to a PCI device driver.
This may allow the driver to support more hardware than
was included in the driver's static device ID support
table at compile time. The format for the device ID is:
VVVV DDDD SVVV SDDD CCCC MMMM PPPP. That is Vendor ID,
Device ID, Subsystem Vendor ID, Subsystem Device ID,
Class, Class Mask, and Private Driver Data. The Vendor ID
and Device ID fields are required, the rest are optional.
Upon successfully adding an ID, the driver will probe
for the device and attempt to bind to it. For example:
# echo "8086 10f5" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/foo/new_id

Part III - Debug drivers use of the DMA-API
-------------------------------------------

The DMA-API as described above as some constraints. DMA addresses must be
released with the corresponding function with the same size for example. With
the advent of hardware IOMMUs it becomes more and more important that drivers
do not violate those constraints. In the worst case such a violation can
result in data corruption up to destroyed filesystems.

To debug drivers and find bugs in the usage of the DMA-API checking code can
be compiled into the kernel which will tell the developer about those
violations. If your architecture supports it you can select the "Enable
debugging of DMA-API usage" option in your kernel configuration. Enabling this
option has a performance impact. Do not enable it in production kernels.

If you boot the resulting kernel will contain code which does some bookkeeping
about what DMA memory was allocated for which device. If this code detects an
error it prints a warning message with some details into your kernel log. An
example warning message may look like this:

The driver developer can find the driver and the device including a stacktrace
of the DMA-API call which caused this warning.

Per default only the first error will result in a warning message. All other
errors will only silently counted. This limitation exist to prevent the code
from flooding your kernel log. To support debugging a device driver this can
be disabled via debugfs. See the debugfs interface documentation below for
details.

The debugfs directory for the DMA-API debugging code is called dma-api/. In
this directory the following files can currently be found:

dma-api/all_errors This file contains a numeric value. If this
value is not equal to zero the debugging code
will print a warning for every error it finds
into the kernel log. Be carefull with this
option. It can easily flood your logs.

dma-api/disabled This read-only file contains the character 'Y'
if the debugging code is disabled. This can
happen when it runs out of memory or if it was
disabled at boot time

dma-api/error_count This file is read-only and shows the total
numbers of errors found.

dma-api/num_errors The number in this file shows how many
warnings will be printed to the kernel log
before it stops. This number is initialized to
one at system boot and be set by writing into
this file

dma-api/min_free_entries
This read-only file can be read to get the
minimum number of free dma_debug_entries the
allocator has ever seen. If this value goes
down to zero the code will disable itself
because it is not longer reliable.

dma-api/num_free_entries
The current number of free dma_debug_entries
in the allocator.

If you have this code compiled into your kernel it will be enabled by default.
If you want to boot without the bookkeeping anyway you can provide
'dma_debug=off' as a boot parameter. This will disable DMA-API debugging.
Notice that you can not enable it again at runtime. You have to reboot to do
so.

When the code disables itself at runtime this is most likely because it ran
out of dma_debug_entries. These entries are preallocated at boot. The number
of preallocated entries is defined per architecture. If it is too low for you
boot with 'dma_debug_entries=<your_desired_number>' to overwrite the
architectural default.
