Pawel Jakub Dawidek 2609222ab4 Merge Capsicum overhaul:
- Capability is no longer separate descriptor type. Now every descriptor
  has set of its own capability rights.

- The cap_new(2) system call is left, but it is no longer documented and
  should not be used in new code.

- The new syscall cap_rights_limit(2) should be used instead of
  cap_new(2), which limits capability rights of the given descriptor
  without creating a new one.

- The cap_getrights(2) syscall is renamed to cap_rights_get(2).

- If CAP_IOCTL capability right is present we can further reduce allowed
  ioctls list with the new cap_ioctls_limit(2) syscall. List of allowed
  ioctls can be retrived with cap_ioctls_get(2) syscall.

- If CAP_FCNTL capability right is present we can further reduce fcntls
  that can be used with the new cap_fcntls_limit(2) syscall and retrive
  them with cap_fcntls_get(2).

- To support ioctl and fcntl white-listing the filedesc structure was
  heavly modified.

- The audit subsystem, kdump and procstat tools were updated to
  recognize new syscalls.

- Capability rights were revised and eventhough I tried hard to provide
  backward API and ABI compatibility there are some incompatible changes
  that are described in detail below:

	CAP_CREATE old behaviour:
	- Allow for openat(2)+O_CREAT.
	- Allow for linkat(2).
	- Allow for symlinkat(2).
	CAP_CREATE new behaviour:
	- Allow for openat(2)+O_CREAT.

	Added CAP_LINKAT:
	- Allow for linkat(2). ABI: Reuses CAP_RMDIR bit.
	- Allow to be target for renameat(2).

	Added CAP_SYMLINKAT:
	- Allow for symlinkat(2).

	Removed CAP_DELETE. Old behaviour:
	- Allow for unlinkat(2) when removing non-directory object.
	- Allow to be source for renameat(2).

	Removed CAP_RMDIR. Old behaviour:
	- Allow for unlinkat(2) when removing directory.

	Added CAP_RENAMEAT:
	- Required for source directory for the renameat(2) syscall.

	Added CAP_UNLINKAT (effectively it replaces CAP_DELETE and CAP_RMDIR):
	- Allow for unlinkat(2) on any object.
	- Required if target of renameat(2) exists and will be removed by this
	  call.

	Removed CAP_MAPEXEC.

	CAP_MMAP old behaviour:
	- Allow for mmap(2) with any combination of PROT_NONE, PROT_READ and
	  PROT_WRITE.
	CAP_MMAP new behaviour:
	- Allow for mmap(2)+PROT_NONE.

	Added CAP_MMAP_R:
	- Allow for mmap(PROT_READ).
	Added CAP_MMAP_W:
	- Allow for mmap(PROT_WRITE).
	Added CAP_MMAP_X:
	- Allow for mmap(PROT_EXEC).
	Added CAP_MMAP_RW:
	- Allow for mmap(PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE).
	Added CAP_MMAP_RX:
	- Allow for mmap(PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC).
	Added CAP_MMAP_WX:
	- Allow for mmap(PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC).
	Added CAP_MMAP_RWX:
	- Allow for mmap(PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC).

	Renamed CAP_MKDIR to CAP_MKDIRAT.
	Renamed CAP_MKFIFO to CAP_MKFIFOAT.
	Renamed CAP_MKNODE to CAP_MKNODEAT.

	CAP_READ old behaviour:
	- Allow pread(2).
	- Disallow read(2), readv(2) (if there is no CAP_SEEK).
	CAP_READ new behaviour:
	- Allow read(2), readv(2).
	- Disallow pread(2) (CAP_SEEK was also required).

	CAP_WRITE old behaviour:
	- Allow pwrite(2).
	- Disallow write(2), writev(2) (if there is no CAP_SEEK).
	CAP_WRITE new behaviour:
	- Allow write(2), writev(2).
	- Disallow pwrite(2) (CAP_SEEK was also required).

	Added convinient defines:

	#define	CAP_PREAD		(CAP_SEEK | CAP_READ)
	#define	CAP_PWRITE		(CAP_SEEK | CAP_WRITE)
	#define	CAP_MMAP_R		(CAP_MMAP | CAP_SEEK | CAP_READ)

	#define	CAP_MMAP_RW		(CAP_MMAP_R | CAP_MMAP_W)
	#define	CAP_MMAP_RX		(CAP_MMAP_R | CAP_MMAP_X)
	#define	CAP_MMAP_WX		(CAP_MMAP_W | CAP_MMAP_X)
	#define	CAP_MMAP_RWX		(CAP_MMAP_R | CAP_MMAP_W | CAP_MMAP_X)
	#define	CAP_RECV		CAP_READ
	#define	CAP_SEND		CAP_WRITE

	#define	CAP_SOCK_CLIENT \
		(CAP_CONNECT | CAP_GETPEERNAME | CAP_GETSOCKNAME | CAP_GETSOCKOPT | \
		 CAP_PEELOFF | CAP_RECV | CAP_SEND | CAP_SETSOCKOPT | CAP_SHUTDOWN)
	#define	CAP_SOCK_SERVER \
		(CAP_ACCEPT | CAP_BIND | CAP_GETPEERNAME | CAP_GETSOCKNAME | \
		 CAP_GETSOCKOPT | CAP_LISTEN | CAP_PEELOFF | CAP_RECV | CAP_SEND | \
		 CAP_SETSOCKOPT | CAP_SHUTDOWN)

	Added defines for backward API compatibility:

	#define	CAP_MAPEXEC		CAP_MMAP_X
	#define	CAP_DELETE		CAP_UNLINKAT
	#define	CAP_MKDIR		CAP_MKDIRAT
	#define	CAP_RMDIR		CAP_UNLINKAT
	#define	CAP_MKFIFO		CAP_MKFIFOAT
	#define	CAP_MKNOD		CAP_MKNODAT
	#define	CAP_SOCK_ALL		(CAP_SOCK_CLIENT | CAP_SOCK_SERVER)

.Dt CAP_ENTER 2
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm cap_enter ,
.Nm cap_getmode
.Nd Capability mode system calls
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/capability.h
.Ft int
.Fn cap_enter "void"
.Ft int
.Fn cap_getmode "u_int *modep"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fn cap_enter
places the current process into capability mode, a mode of execution in which
processes may only issue system calls operating on file descriptors or
reading limited global system state.
Access to global name spaces, such as file system or IPC name spaces, is
prevented.
If the process is already in a capability mode sandbox, the system call is a
no-op.
Future process descendants create with
.Xr fork 2
or
.Xr pdfork 2
will be placed in capability mode from inception.
.Pp
When combined with
.Xr cap_rights_limit 2 ,
.Xr cap_ioctls_limit 2 ,
.Xr cap_fcntls_limit 2 ,
.Fn cap_enter
may be used to create kernel-enforced sandboxes in which
appropriately-crafted applications or application components may be run.
.Pp
.Fn cap_getmode
returns a flag indicating whether or not the process is in a capability mode
sandbox.
.Sh CAVEAT
Creating effective process sandboxes is a tricky process that involves
identifying the least possible rights required by the process and then
passing those rights into the process in a safe manner.
Consumers of
.Fn cap_enter
should also be aware of other inherited rights, such as access to VM
resources, memory contents, and other process properties that should be
considered.
It is advisable to use
.Xr fexecve 2
to create a runtime environment inside the sandbox that has as few implicitly
acquired rights as possible.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Rv -std cap_enter cap_getmode
.Sh ERRORS
The
.Fn cap_enter
and
.Fn cap_getmode
system calls
will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er ENOSYS
The kernel is compiled without:
.Pp
.Cd "options CAPABILITY_MODE"
.El
.Pp
The
.Fn cap_getmode
system call may also return the following error:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EFAULT
Pointer
.Fa modep
points outside the process's allocated address space.
.El

Support for capabilities and capabilities mode was developed as part of the

Project.
