[RFC PATCH v11 03/19] ipe: add evaluation loop

From: Fan Wu
Date: Wed Oct 04 2023 - 18:10:01 EST


From: Deven Bowers <deven.desai@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

IPE must have a centralized function to evaluate incoming callers
against IPE's policy. This iteration of the policy for against the rules
for that specific caller is known as the evaluation loop.

---
v2:
+ Split evaluation loop, access control hooks, and evaluation loop from policy parser and userspace interface to pass mailing list character limit

v3:
+ Move ipe_load_properties to patch 04.
+ Remove useless 0-initializations Prefix extern variables with ipe_
+ Remove kernel module parameters, as these are exposed through sysctls.
+ Add more prose to the IPE base config option help text.
+ Use GFP_KERNEL for audit_log_start.
+ Remove unnecessary caching system.
+ Remove comments from headers
+ Use rcu_access_pointer for rcu-pointer null check
+ Remove usage of reqprot; use prot only.
+Move policy load and activation audit event to 03/12

v4:
+ Remove sysctls in favor of securityfs nodes
+ Re-add kernel module parameters, as these are now exposed through securityfs.
+ Refactor property audit loop to a separate function.

v5:
+ fix minor grammatical errors
+ do not group rule by curly-brace in audit record,
+ reconstruct the exact rule.

v6:
+ No changes

v7:
+ Further split lsm creation into a separate commit from the evaluation loop and audit system, for easier review.
+ Propagating changes to support the new ipe_context structure in the evaluation loop.

v8:
+ Remove ipe_hook enumeration; hooks can be correlated via syscall record.

v9:
+ Remove ipe_context related code and simplify the evaluation loop.

v10:
+ Split eval part and boot_verified part

v11:
+ Fix code style issues
