Hi,
The Landlock tracepoints added during this development cycle need
correction before their interface reaches a released kernel. For typed
BPF consumers, the number, order, and types of TP_PROTO arguments define
the callback contract and must be correct before release. Topology
denials render as an empty blocker mask, network denials encode one
checked endpoint through ambiguous source and destination port fields,
and callbacks omit the actual ptrace tracer, effective signal, and
add-rule flags.
This series keeps the events focused on Landlock policy context. It
uses kernel fixed-width aliases and derives trace blockers from the same
authoritative request state as audit. Successful add-rule callbacks
carry validated per-call flags and access rights, while growable masks
passed by value use fixed u64 carriers.
The rule events become landlock_add_rule_path_beneath,
landlock_add_rule_net_port, landlock_check_rule_inode, and
landlock_check_rule_net_port. These pre-release renames necessarily
update tracefs paths, typed-BPF attachments, selftests, and
documentation, but avoid carrying misleading names into the released
interface.
Network denial callbacks receive a sanitized copy of the checked
endpoint, and tracefs reports one signed port, with -1 meaning that no
port was checked. Ptrace and signal callbacks receive the actual tracer
and effective signal. Beyond the event-name churn, only blocker and
port rendering changes are visible through tracefs; the remaining
context is available to typed BPF.
The series changes no enforcement decision, UAPI, or audit output.
Event preparation remains behind the existing static-key checks.
Selftests cover the renamed events and both rendering changes, and the
documentation limits the contract to policy context while directing
consumers to generic tracepoints for operational context.
This series applies on top of v7.3-rc3.
