landlock: Suppress logging when quiet flag is present

2026-06-14T18:17:19Z

The quietness behaviour is as documented in the previous patch. For optional accesses, since the existing deny_masks can only store 2x4bit of layer index, with no way to represent "no layer", we need to either expand it or have another field to correctly handle quieting of those. This commit uses the latter approach - we add another field to store which optional access (of the 2) are covered by quiet rules in their respective layers as stored in deny_masks.

landlock: Add API support and docs for the quiet flags

2026-06-14T18:17:19Z

Adds the UAPI for the quiet flags feature (but not the implementation yet). Even though currently LANDLOCK_ADD_RULE_QUIET only affects audit logging, in the future this can also be used as part of a supervisor mechanism, where it will also suppress denial notifications on a per-object basis. Thus the name is deliberately generic, as opposed to e.g. LANDLOCK_ADD_RULE_LOG_QUIET. According to pahole, even after adding the struct access_masks quiet_masks in struct landlock_hierarchy, the u32 log_* bitfield still only has a size of 2 bytes, so there's minimal wasted space.

landlock: Fix LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL bypass on the SIGIO path

2026-06-13T21:14:59Z

LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL must prevent a sandboxed process from signaling processes outside its Landlock domain. It can be bypassed through the asynchronous SIGIO delivery path. A sandboxed process that owns any file or socket can arm it with fcntl(fd, F_SETOWN, -pgid), fcntl(fd, F_SETSIG, SIGKILL) and O_ASYNC, so that an I/O event makes the kernel deliver the chosen signal to the whole process group. As the head of its process group's task list (the default position right after fork()) that group can also hold the non-sandboxed process that launched it, e.g. a supervisor or a security monitor. The sandbox can thus kill or signal the processes LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL is meant to protect from it. The scope is enforced in hook_file_send_sigiotask() against the Landlock domain recorded at F_SETOWN time, not the live domain of the sender. control_current_fowner() decides whether to record that domain and skips recording it when the fowner target is in the caller's thread group, which is safe only for a single-task target (PIDTYPE_PID, PIDTYPE_TGID). For a process group (PIDTYPE_PGID) pid_task() returns only one member; recording is skipped whenever that member shares the caller's thread group, and hook_file_send_sigiotask() then lets the signal fan out to the whole group unchecked. Record the domain for every non single-process target so the scope is enforced against each group member at delivery time. That recording is necessary but not sufficient on its own: the kernel signals a process group through its members' thread-group leaders, and the leader of the registrant's own process can carry a different Landlock domain than the sibling thread that armed the owner. domain_is_scoped() would then deny that leader, even though commit 18eb75f3af40 ("landlock: Always allow signals between threads of the same process") requires same-process delivery to be allowed. hook_task_kill() avoids this by evaluating same_thread_group() live, per recipient; the SIGIO path instead delegates the whole decision to a single registration-time check, which a process-group fan-out cannot honor. So also record the registrant's thread group next to its domain and exempt it at delivery: hook_file_send_sigiotask() allows the signal whenever the recipient belongs to the registrant's own process, restoring the same-process guarantee while keeping out-of-domain group members blocked. The direct kill() path (hook_task_kill) already evaluates the live domain and is unaffected.

landlock: Log truncate and IOCTL denials

2025-03-26T12:59:41Z

Add audit support to the file_truncate and file_ioctl hooks. Add a deny_masks_t type and related helpers to store the domain's layer level per optional access rights (i.e. LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE and LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_IOCTL_DEV) when opening a file, which cannot be inferred later. In practice, the landlock_file_security aligned blob size is still 16 bytes because this new one-byte deny_masks field follows the existing two-bytes allowed_access field and precede the packed fown_subject. Implementing deny_masks_t with a bitfield instead of a struct enables a generic implementation to store and extract layer levels. Add KUnit tests to check the identification of a layer level from a deny_masks_t, and the computation of a deny_masks_t from an access right with its layer level or a layer_mask_t array.

landlock: Prepare to use credential instead of domain for fowner

2025-03-26T12:59:37Z

This cosmetic change is needed for audit support, specifically to be able to filter according to cross-execution boundaries. struct landlock_file_security's size stay the same for now but it will increase with struct landlock_cred_security's size. Only save Landlock domain in hook_file_set_fowner() if the current domain has LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL, which was previously done for each hook_file_send_sigiotask() calls. This should improve a bit performance. Replace hardcoded LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL with the signal_scope.scope variable. Use scoped guards for RCU read-side critical sections.

landlock: Move access types

2025-01-17T18:05:34Z

Move LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_INITIALLY_DENIED, access_mask_t, struct access_mask, and struct access_masks_all to a dedicated access.h file. Rename LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_INITIALLY_DENIED to _LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_INITIALLY_DENIED to make it clear that it's not part of UAPI. Add some newlines when appropriate. This file will be extended with following commits, and it will help to avoid dependency loops.

landlock: Add signal scoping

2024-09-16T21:50:52Z

Currently, a sandbox process is not restricted to sending a signal (e.g. SIGKILL) to a process outside the sandbox environment. The ability to send a signal for a sandboxed process should be scoped the same way abstract UNIX sockets are scoped. Therefore, we extend the "scoped" field in a ruleset with LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL to specify that a ruleset will deny sending any signal from within a sandbox process to its parent (i.e. any parent sandbox or non-sandboxed processes). This patch adds file_set_fowner and file_free_security hooks to set and release a pointer to the file owner's domain. This pointer, fown_domain in landlock_file_security will be used in file_send_sigiotask to check if the process can send a signal. The ruleset_with_unknown_scope test is updated to support LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL. This depends on two new changes: - commit 1934b212615d ("file: reclaim 24 bytes from f_owner"): replace container_of(fown, struct file, f_owner) with fown->file . - commit 26f204380a3c ("fs: Fix file_set_fowner LSM hook inconsistencies"): lock before calling the hook.

landlock: Support file truncation

2022-10-19T07:01:44Z

Introduce the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE flag for file truncation. This flag hooks into the path_truncate, file_truncate and file_alloc_security LSM hooks and covers file truncation using truncate(2), ftruncate(2), open(2) with O_TRUNC, as well as creat(). This change also increments the Landlock ABI version, updates corresponding selftests, and updates code documentation to document the flag. In security/security.c, allocate security blobs at pointer-aligned offsets. This fixes the problem where one LSM's security blob can shift another LSM's security blob to an unaligned address (reported by Nathan Chancellor). The following operations are restricted: open(2): requires the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE right if a file gets implicitly truncated as part of the open() (e.g. using O_TRUNC). Notable special cases: * open(..., O_RDONLY|O_TRUNC) can truncate files as well in Linux * open() with O_TRUNC does *not* need the TRUNCATE right when it creates a new file. truncate(2) (on a path): requires the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE right. ftruncate(2) (on a file): requires that the file had the TRUNCATE right when it was previously opened. File descriptors acquired by other means than open(2) (e.g. memfd_create(2)) continue to support truncation with ftruncate(2).

landlock: Define access_mask_t to enforce a consistent access mask size

Create and use the access_mask_t typedef to enforce a consistent access mask size and uniformly use a 16-bits type. This will helps transition to a 32-bits value one day. Add a build check to make sure all (filesystem) access rights fit in. This will be extended with a following commit.
