This\npatch removes __capable() and introduces has_capability() that doesn\u0027t set\nPF_SUPERPRIV on the process being queried.\n\nThis patch further splits security_ptrace() in two:\n\n (1) security_ptrace_may_access(). This passes judgement on whether one\n process may access another only (PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH for ptrace() and\n PTRACE_MODE_READ for /proc), and takes a pointer to the child process.\n current is the parent.\n\n (2) security_ptrace_traceme(). This passes judgement on PTRACE_TRACEME only,\n and takes only a pointer to the parent process. current is the child.\n\n In Smack and commoncap, this uses has_capability() to determine whether\n the parent will be permitted to use PTRACE_ATTACH if normal checks fail.\n This does not set PF_SUPERPRIV.\n\nTwo of the instances of __capable() actually only act on current, and so have\nbeen changed to calls to capable().\n\nOf the places that were using __capable():\n\n (1) The OOM killer calls __capable() thrice when weighing the killability of a\n process. All of these now use has_capability().\n\n (2) cap_ptrace() and smack_ptrace() were using __capable() to check to see\n whether the parent was allowed to trace any process. As mentioned above,\n these have been split. For PTRACE_ATTACH and /proc, capable() is now\n used, and for PTRACE_TRACEME, has_capability() is used.\n\n (3) cap_safe_nice() only ever saw current, so now uses capable().\n\n (4) smack_setprocattr() rejected accesses to tasks other than current just\n after calling __capable(), so the order of these two tests have been\n switched and capable() is used instead.\n\n (5) In smack_file_send_sigiotask(), we need to allow privileged processes to\n receive SIGIO on files they\u0027re manipulating.\n\n (6) In smack_task_wait(), we let a process wait for a privileged process,\n whether or not the process doing the waiting is privileged.\n\nI\u0027ve tested this with the LTP SELinux and syscalls testscripts.\n\nSigned-off-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Serge Hallyn \u003cserue@us.ibm.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Casey Schaufler \u003ccasey@schaufler-ca.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Andrew G.

That is, with filesystem\nsupport for capabilities but without this present patch, it is (conceptually)\npossible to manage a system with capabilities alone and never need to obtain\nprivilege via (set)uid-0.\n\nOf course, conceptually isn\u0027t quite the same as currently possible since few\nuser applications, certainly not enough to run a viable system, are currently\nprepared to leverage capabilities to exercise privilege. Further, many\napplications exist that may never get upgraded in this way, and the kernel\nwill continue to want to support their setuid-0 base privilege needs.\n\nWhere pure-capability applications evolve and replace setuid-0 binaries, it is\ndesirable that there be a mechanisms by which they can contain their\nprivilege. In addition to leveraging the per-process bounding and inheritable\nsets, this should include suppressing the privilege of the uid-0 superuser\nfrom the process\u0027 tree of children.\n\nThe feature added by this patch can be leveraged to suppress the privilege\nassociated with (set)uid-0. This suppression requires CAP_SETPCAP to\ninitiate, and only immediately affects the \u0027current\u0027 process (it is inherited\nthrough fork()/exec()). This reimplementation differs significantly from the\nhistorical support for securebits which was system-wide, unwieldy and which\nhas ultimately withered to a dead relic in the source of the modern kernel.\n\nWith this patch applied a process, that is capable(CAP_SETPCAP), can now drop\nall legacy privilege (through uid\u003d0) for itself and all subsequently\nfork()\u0027d/exec()\u0027d children with:\n\n prctl(PR_SET_SECUREBITS, 0x2f);\n\nThis patch represents a no-op unless CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES is\nenabled at configure time.\n\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix uninitialised var warning]\n[serue@us.ibm.com: capabilities: use cap_task_prctl when !CONFIG_SECURITY]\nSigned-off-by: Andrew G.
