94f1c2c12e Move inet and inet6 related MAC Framework entry points from mac_net.c
to a new mac_inet.c.  This code is now conditionally compiled based
on inet support being compiled into the kernel.

Move socket related MAC Framework entry points from mac_net.c to a new
mac_socket.c.

To do this, some additional _enforce MIB variables are now non-static.
In addition, mbuf_to_label() is now mac_mbuf_to_label() and non-static.

01d59d6bbb Reimplement sysctls handling by MAC framework.
Now I believe it is done in the right way.

Removed some XXMAC cases, we now assume 'high' integrity level for all
sysctls, except those with CTLFLAG_ANYBODY flag set. No more magic.

b8e797cfe0 Coalesce pipe allocations and frees. Previously, the pipe code
would allocate two 'struct pipe's from the pipe zone, and malloc a
mutex.

- Create a new "struct pipepair" object holding the two 'struct
  pipe' instances, struct mutex, and struct label reference.  Pipe
  structures now have a back-pointer to the pipe pair, and a
  'pipe_present' flag to indicate whether the half has been
  closed.

- Perform mutex init/destroy in zone init/destroy, avoiding
  reallocating the mutex for each pipe.  Perform most pipe structure
  setup in zone constructor.

- VM memory mappings for pageable buffers are still done outside of
  the UMA zone.

- Change MAC API to speak 'struct pipepair' instead of 'struct pipe',
  update many policies.  MAC labels are also handled outside of the
  UMA zone for now.  Label-only policy modules don't have to be
  recompiled, but if a module is recompiled, its pipe entry points
  will need to be updated.  If a module actually reached into the
  pipe structures (unlikely), that would also need to be modified.

These changes substantially simplify failure handling in the pipe
code as there are many fewer possible failure modes.

On half-close, pipes no longer free the 'struct pipe' for the closed
half until a full-close takes place.  However, VM mapped buffers
are still released on half-close.

Some code refactoring is now possible to clean up some of the back
references, etc; this patch attempts not to change the structure
of most of the pipe implementation, only allocation/free code
paths, so as to avoid introducing bugs (hopefully).

This cuts about 8%-9% off the cost of sequential pipe allocation
and free in system call tests on UP and SMP in my micro-benchmarks.
May or may not make a difference in macro-benchmarks, but doing
less work is good.

8315bb904d Switch TCP over to using the inpcb label when responding in timed
wait, rather than the socket label.  This avoids reaching up to
the socket layer during connection close, which requires locking
changes.  To do this, introduce MAC Framework entry point
mac_create_mbuf_from_inpcb(), which is called from tcp_twrespond()
instead of calling mac_create_mbuf_from_socket() or
mac_create_mbuf_netlayer().  Introduce MAC Policy entry point
mpo_create_mbuf_from_inpcb(), and implementations for various
policies, which generally just copy label data from the inpcb to
the mbuf.  Assert the inpcb lock in the entry point since we
require consistency for the inpcb label reference.

08335c63bf Rename mac_create_cred() MAC Framework entry point to mac_copy_cred(),
and the mpo_create_cred() MAC policy entry point to
mpo_copy_cred_label().  This is more consistent with similar entry
points for creation and label copying, as mac_create_cred() was
called from crdup() as opposed to during process creation.  For
a number of policies, this removes the requirement for special
handling when copying credential labels, and improves consistency.

9c969b771a Introduce a MAC label reference in 'struct inpcb', which caches
the   MAC label referenced from 'struct socket' in the IPv4 and
IPv6-based protocols.  This permits MAC labels to be checked during
network delivery operations without dereferencing inp->inp_socket
to get to so->so_label, which will eventually avoid our having to
grab the socket lock during delivery at the network layer.

This change introduces 'struct inpcb' as a labeled object to the
MAC Framework, along with the normal circus of entry points:
initialization, creation from socket, destruction, as well as a
delivery access control check.

For most policies, the inpcb label will simply be a cache of the
socket label, so a new protocol switch method is introduced,
pr_sosetlabel() to notify protocols that the socket layer label
has been updated so that the cache can be updated while holding
appropriate locks.  Most protocols implement this using
pru_sosetlabel_null(), but IPv4/IPv6 protocols using inpcbs use
the the worker function in_pcbsosetlabel(), which calls into the
MAC Framework to perform a cache update.

Biba, LOMAC, and MLS implement these entry points, as do the stub
policy, and test policy.

7aa5c2497a Implement sockets support for __mac_get_fd() and __mac_set_fd()
system calls, and prefer these calls over getsockopt()/setsockopt()
for ABI reasons.  When addressing UNIX domain sockets, these calls
retrieve and modify the socket label, not the label of the
rendezvous vnode.

- Create mac_copy_socket_label() entry point based on
  mac_copy_pipe_label() entry point, intended to copy the socket
  label into temporary storage that doesn't require a socket lock
  to be held (currently Giant).

- Implement mac_copy_socket_label() for various policies.

- Expose socket label allocation, free, internalize, externalize
  entry points as non-static from mac_net.c.

- Use mac_socket_label_set() in __mac_set_fd().

MAC-aware applications may now use mac_get_fd(), mac_set_fd(), and
mac_get_peer() to retrieve and set various socket labels without
directly invoking the getsockopt() interface.

67feac6f9a Implement mac_get_peer(3) using getsockopt() with SOL_SOCKET and
SO_PEERLABEL.  This provides an interface to query the label of a
socket peer without embedding implementation details of mac_t in
the application.  Previously, sizeof(*mac_t) had to be specified
by an application when performing getsockopt().

Document mac_get_peer(3), and expand documentation of the other
mac_get(3) functions.  Note that it's possible to get EINVAL back
from mac_get_fd(3) when pointing it at an inappropriate object.

NOTE: mac_get_fd() and mac_set_fd() support for sockets will
follow shortly, so the documentation is slightly ahead of the

77ed6e2d1c Modify the MAC Framework so that instead of embedding a (struct label)
in various kernel objects to represent security data, we embed a
(struct label *) pointer, which now references labels allocated using
a UMA zone (mac_label.c).  This allows the size and shape of struct
label to be varied without changing the size and shape of these kernel
objects, which become part of the frozen ABI with 5-STABLE.  This opens
the door for boot-time selection of the number of label slots, and hence
changes to the bound on the number of simultaneous labeled policies
at boot-time instead of compile-time.  This also makes it easier to
embed label references in new objects as required for locking/caching
with fine-grained network stack locking, such as inpcb structures.

This change also moves us further in the direction of hiding the
structure of kernel objects from MAC policy modules, not to mention
dramatically reducing the number of '&' symbols appearing in both the
MAC Framework and MAC policy modules, and improving readability.

While this results in minimal performance change with MAC enabled, it
will observably shrink the size of a number of critical kernel data
structures for the !MAC case, and should have a small (but measurable)
performance benefit (i.e., struct vnode, struct socket) do to memory
conservation and reduced cost of zeroing memory.

NOTE: Users of MAC must recompile their kernel and all MAC modules as a
result of this change.  Because this is an API change, third party
MAC modules will also need to be updated to make less use of the '&'
symbol.

866f946f37 When allocation of a socket peer label fails, scrub what was
successfully initialized in the label as a socket peer label, not a
socket label.  For current policy modules, this didn't make a
difference, but if a policy module had label data in the peer label
that was to be GC'd in a different way than the normal socket label,
it might have been a problem.

80e2b7dc48 Redesign the externalization APIs from the MAC Framework to
the MAC policy modules to improve robustness against C string
bugs and vulnerabilities.  Following these revisions, all
string construction of labels for export to userspace (or
elsewhere) is performed using the sbuf API, which prevents
the consumer from having to perform laborious and intricate
pointer and buffer checks.  This substantially simplifies
the externalization logic, both at the MAC Framework level,
and in individual policies; this becomes especially useful
when policies export more complex label data, such as with
compartments in Biba and MLS.

Bundled in here are some other minor fixes associated with
externalization: including avoiding malloc while holding the
process mutex in mac_lomac, and hence avoid a failure mode
when printing labels during a downgrade operation due to
the removal of the M_NOWAIT case.

This has been running in the MAC development tree for about
three weeks without problems.

cdd2c23d20 Clean up locking for the MAC Framework:
(1) Accept that we're now going to use mutexes, so don't attempt
    to avoid treating them as mutexes.  This cleans up locking
    accessor function names some.

(2) Rename variables to _mtx, _cv, _count, simplifying the naming.

(3) Add a new form of the _busy() primitive that conditionally
    makes the list busy: if there are entries on the list, bump
    the busy count.  If there are no entries, don't bump the busy
    count.  Return a boolean indicating whether or not the busy
    count was bumped.

(4) Break mac_policy_list into two lists: one with the same name
    holding dynamic policies, and a new list, mac_static_policy_list,
    which holds policies loaded before mac_late and without the
    unload flag set.  The static list may be accessed without
    holding the busy count, since it can't change at run-time.

(5) In general, prefer making the list busy conditionally, meaning
    we pay only one mutex lock per entry point if all modules are
    on the static list, rather than two (since we don't have to
    lower the busy count when we're done with the framework).  For
    systems running just Biba or MLS, this will halve the mutex
    accesses in the network stack, and may offer a substantial
    performance benefits.

(6) Lay the groundwork for a dynamic-free kernel option which
    eliminates all locking associated with dynamically loaded or
    unloaded policies, for pre-configured systems requiring
    maximum performance but less run-time flexibility.

These changes have been running for a few weeks on MAC development
branch systems.

87da2c3cf3 - Acquire the vm_object's lock when performing vm_object_page_clean().
- Add a parameter to vm_pageout_flush() that tells vm_pageout_flush()
   whether its caller has locked the vm_object.  (This is a temporary
   measure to bootstrap vm_object locking.)
