Hi,
This new patch series brings improvements, fix some bugs but mainly
simplify the code.
The object, rule and ruleset management are simplified at the expense of
a less aggressive memory freeing (contributed by Jann Horn [1]). There
is now less use of RCU for an improved readability. Access checks that
can be reached by file-descriptor-based syscalls are removed for now
(truncate, getattr, lock, chmod, chown, chgrp, ioctl). This will be
handle in a future evolution of Landlock, but right now the goal is to
lighten the code to ease review. The SLOC count for security/landlock/
was 1542 with the previous patch series while the current series shrinks
it to 1273.
The other main improvement is the addition of rule layer levels to
ensure that a nested sandbox cannot bypass the access restrictions set
by its parents.
The syscall is now wired for all architectures and the tests passed for
x86_32 and x86_64.
The compiled documentation is available here:
https://landlock.io/linux-doc/landlock-v15/security/landlock/index.html
This series can be applied on top of v5.6-rc7. This can be tested with
CONFIG_SECURITY_LANDLOCK and CONFIG_SAMPLE_LANDLOCK. This patch series
can be found in a Git repository here:

I would really appreciate constructive comments on the design and the code.
# Landlock LSM
The goal of Landlock is to enable to restrict ambient rights (e.g.
global filesystem access) for a set of processes. Because Landlock is a
stackable LSM [2], it makes possible to create safe security sandboxes
as new security layers in addition to the existing system-wide
access-controls. This kind of sandbox is expected to help mitigate the
security impact of bugs or unexpected/malicious behaviors in user-space
applications. Landlock empowers any process, including unprivileged
ones, to securely restrict themselves.
Landlock is inspired by seccomp-bpf but instead of filtering syscalls
and their raw arguments, a Landlock rule can restrict the use of kernel
objects like file hierarchies, according to the kernel semantic.
Landlock also takes inspiration from other OS sandbox mechanisms: XNU
Sandbox, FreeBSD Capsicum or OpenBSD Pledge/Unveil.
# Current limitations
## Path walk
Landlock need to use dentries to identify a file hierarchy, which is
needed for composable and unprivileged access-controls. This means that
path resolution/walking (handled with inode_permission()) is not
supported, yet. The same limitation also apply to readlink(2). This
could be filled with a future extension first of the LSM framework. The
Landlock userspace ABI can handle such change with new options (e.g. to
the struct landlock_ruleset).
## UnionFS
An UnionFS super-block use a set of upper and lower directories. Access
request to a file in one of these hierarchy trigger a call to
ovl_path_real() which generate another access request according to the
matching hierarchy. Because such super-block is not aware of its current
mount point, OverlayFS can't create a dedicated mnt_parent for each of
the upper and lower directories mount clones. It is then not currently
possible to track the source of such indirect access-request, and then
not possible to identify a unified OverlayFS hierarchy.
## Memory limits
There is currently no limit on the memory usage. Any idea to leverage
an existing mechanism (e.g. rlimit)?
# Changes since v14
* Simplify the object, rule and ruleset management at the expense of a
less aggressive memory freeing.
* Remove access checks that may be required for FD-only requests:
truncate, getattr, lock, chmod, chown, chgrp, ioctl.
* Add the notion of rule layer level to ensure that a nested sandbox
cannot bypass the access restrictions set by its parent.
* Wire up the syscall for all architectures.
* Clean up the code and add more documentation.
* Some improvements and bug fixes.
# Changes since v13
* Revamp of the LSM: remove the need for eBPF and seccomp(2).
* Implement a full filesystem access-control.
* Take care of the backward compatibility issues, especially for
security features, following a best-effort approach.
