I think it needs to do more than that. I don't think this should call each LSM, the

It exposes a different attack surface. Requiring mounting of the fs to where it is visible
in the container, provides attack surface, and requires additional external configuration.
Then there is the whole issue of getting the various LSMs to allow another LSM in the
stack to be able manage its own policy.

The permission checks don't have to be hard coded. Each LSM can define how it handles
or manages the syscall. The default is that it isn't supported, but if an lsm decides
to support it, there is now reason that its policy can't determine the use of the
syscall.

Other LSMs also have policy that can control access to pseudo filesystems and
other resources. Again, the control doesn't have to be hard coded. And seccomp can
be used to block the syscall.

generally speaking I agree, but I am also not going to turn down a

If we had had appropriate LSM syscalls landlock wouldn't have needed
to have landlock specific syscalls. Having another LSM go that route
feels wrong especially now that we have some LSM syscalls. If a
syscall is needed by an LSM its better to try hashing something out
that might have utility for multiple LSMs or at the very least,
potentially have utility in the future.

yes that does feel like ioctls(), on the other hand defining them at the LSM level won't
offer LSMs flexibility making it so the syscall covers fewer use cases. I am not opposed
to either, it just hashing out what people want, and what is acceptable.

prctl() can be used, I used it for the unprivileged policy demo. It has its own set of
problems. While LSM policy could be associated with the process doing the load/replacement
or what ever operation, it isn't necessarily tied to it. A lot of LSM policy is not
process specific making prctl() a poor fit.
prctl() requires allocating a global prctl()
prctl() are already being filtered/controlled by LSMs making them a poort fit for
use by an LSM in a stacking situation as it requires updating the policy of other
LSMs on the system. Yes seccomp can filter the syscall but that still is an easier
barrier to overcome than having to have instruction for how to allow your LSMs
prctl() in multiple LSMs.
Mickaël already argued the need for landlock to have syscalls. See
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200511192156.1618284-7-mic@digikod.net/
and the numerous iterations before that.
Ideally those could have been LSM syscalls, with landlock leveraging them. AppArmor
is getting to where it has similar needs to landlock. Yes we can use ioctls, prctls,
netlink, the fs, etc. it doesn't mean that those are the best interfaces to do so,
and ideally any interface we use will be of benefit to some other LSMs in the future.

and the LSM doesn't have to allow the syscall to function in a container
where appropriate. Its up to the LSM if the syscall is supported and
what kind of permissions are needed.
However having the ability to function in a container and not having to
mount securityfs, or procfs into a container. similar to what landlock
gets with its syscall can be beneficial.

no not everything, just what fits into the syscall. Nor does an LSM

This could be a little more efficient than the current fs interface
used by apparmor/selinux/smack but I don't think efficiency is going
to be a huge win for this.

I don't think a syscall makes the API more secure. If necessary, we can add
permission check to each pseudo file. The downside of the syscall, however,
is that all the permission checks are hard-coded in the kernel (except for
BPF LSM); while the sys admin can configure permissions of the pseudo
files in user space.

I am not sure the performance of loading security policies is on any
critical path.
The implementation calls the hook for each LSM, which is why I think the
syscall is not efficient.
Overall, I am still not convinced a syscall for all LSMs is needed. To
justify such
a syscall, I think we need to show that it is useful in multiple LSMs.
Also, if we
really want to have single set of APIs for all LSMs, we may also need
get_policy,
remove_policy, etc. This set as-is appears to be an incomplete design. The
implementation, with call_int_hook, is also problematic. It can easily
cause some
controversial behaviors.

If the interpretation of "flags" argument varies across LSMs, it sounds like ioctl()'s
"cmd" argument. Also, there is prctl() which can already carry string-ish parameters
without involving open(). Why can't we use prctl() instead of lsm_manage_policy() ?

Posting this on this thread as well -
Peter, John,
There seems to be confusion regarding KHDR_INCLUDES. Tests don't have
to use KHDR_INCLUDES if they don't want to.
There are 4623 test Makefiles (excluding the main Makefile) under selftests/.
Out of those 73 Makefiles reference KHDR_INCLUDES exported by lib.mk and
selftests/Makefile. The rest are happy with system headers.
The support for this KHDR_INCLUDES was added just for the case when a new
test depends on header change. This is the reason why only a few
test Makefiles use it. When test rings ran into issues related to
dependencies between header changes, we recommended installing headers
to solve the problem and introduced KHDR_INCLUDES so test Makefiles
can use it in their Makefiles overriding the framework defaults.
If your test doesn't need it, you can simply stop referencing it or
use the approach used in mm test.
It is a manual step. Works well for developers who know what they are doing.
This isn't ideal for test rings. This isn't an ideal solution really.
It works for the mm developers.
# In order to use newer items that haven't yet been added to the user's system
# header files, add $(TOOLS_INCLUDES) to the compiler invocation in each
# each selftest.
# You may need to add files to that location, or to refresh an existing file. In
# order to do that, run "make headers" from $(top_srcdir), then copy the
# header file that you want from $(top_srcdir)/usr/include/... , to the matching
# subdir in $(TOOLS_INCLUDE).
TOOLS_INCLUDES := -isystem $(top_srcdir)/tools/include/uapi
The issues Peter is seeing regarding KHDR_INCLUDES in the following
tests can be easily fixed by simply changing the test Makefile. These
aren't framework related.
kvm/Makefile.kvm: -I ../rseq -I.. $(EXTRA_CFLAGS) $(KHDR_INCLUDES)
x86/Makefile:CFLAGS := -O2 -g -std=gnu99 -pthread -Wall $(KHDR_INCLUDES)
futex/functional/Makefile:INCLUDES := -I../include -I../../ $(KHDR_INCLUDES)
futex/functional/Makefile:CFLAGS := $(CFLAGS) -g -O2 -Wall -pthread $(INCLUDES) $(KHDR_INCLUDES)
You can make the change to remove the reference to KHDR_INCLUDES.
If don't have the time/bandwidth to do it, I will take care of it.
If test build fails, you can then figure out how to address that.
Hopefully build issues related to header changes are infrequent.

While Tetsuo's comment is limited to TOMOYO, I believe the argument
applies to a number of other LSMs as well. The reality is that there
is no one policy ideal shared across LSMs and that complicates things
like the lsm_manage_policy() proposal. I'm intentionally saying
"complicates" and not "prevents" because I don't want to flat out
reject something like this, but I think there needs to be a larger
discussion among the different LSM groups about what such an API
should look like. We may not need to get every LSM to support this
new API, but we need to get something that would work for a
significant majority and would be general/extensible enough that we
would expect it to work with the majority of future LSMs (as much as
we can predict the future anyway).

First, like any LSM, TOMOYO is not obliged to implement every operation. It can simply
expose the one that makes sense for its use case. For instance, I don't think it needs an
equivalent of the manager interface.
If TOMOYO wants to support several sub‑operations, it can distinguish them with the
syscall’s flags parameter instead of filenames (as securityfs_if.c does today) and reuse
the code already employed by its pseudo‑fs, as in the AppArmor patch. Supporting this
syscall would therefore require only minimal changes.
Line‑oriented ASCII text is not a barrier, either. The syscall can pass that format just
fine. Because a typical TOMOYO line is very small, the performance gains from using the
syscall are actually greater. A brief benchmark is available in [1].
Thanks,
Maxime

Indeed, that was an oversight. It will return -EOPNOTSUPP in the next patch revision.

This syscall is not intended to cover every case, nor to replace existing kernel
interfaces.
Each LSM can decide which operations it wants to support (if any). For example, when
loading policies, an LSM may choose to allow only policies that further restrict
privileges.
> - Not working in containers is often not an issue, but a feature.
Indeed, using this syscall requires appropriate capabilities and will not permit
unprivileged containers to manage policies arbitrarily.
With this syscall, capability checks remain the responsibility of each LSM.
For instance, in the AppArmor patch, a profile can be loaded only if
aa_policy_admin_capable() succeeds (which requires CAP_MAC_ADMIN). Moreover, by design,
policies can be loaded only in the current namespace.
I see this syscall as a middle point between exposing the entire sysfs, creating a large
attack surface, and blocking everything.
Landlock’s existing syscalls already improve security by allowing processes to further
restrict their ambient rights while adding only a modest attack surface.
This syscall is a further step in that direction: it lets LSMs add restrictive policies
without requiring exposing every other interface.
Again, each module decides which operations to expose through this syscall. In many cases
the operation will still require CAP_SYS_ADMIN or a similar capability, so environments
that choose this interface remain secure while gaining its advantages.

As shown below, the syscall can significantly improve the performance of policy management.
A more detailed benchmark is available in [1].
The following table presents the time required to load an AppArmor profile.
For every cell, the first value is the total time taken by aa-load, and the value in
parentheses is the time spent to load the policy in the kernel only (total - dry‑run).
Results are in microseconds and are averaged over 10 000 runs to reduce variance.
| t (µs) | syscall | pseudofs | Speedup |
|-----------|-------------|-------------|---------------|
| 1password | 4257 (1127) | 3333 (192) | x1.28 (x5.86) |
| Xorg | 6099 (2961) | 5167 (2020) | x1.18 (x1.47) |
If an LSM wants to allow several operations for a single LSM_POLICY_XXX it can multiplex a sub‑opcode in flags, and select the appropriate handler, this incurs negligible overhead.
Thanks,
Maxime

syzbot will report user-controlled unbounded huge size memory allocation attempt. ;-)
This interface might be fine for AppArmor, but TOMOYO won't use this interface because
TOMOYO's policy is line-oriented ASCII text data where the destination is switched via
pseudo‑filesystem's filename; use of filename helps restricting which type of policy
can be manipulated by which process.

These two do not feel like real benefits:
- Not working in containers is often not an issue, but a feature.
- One syscall cannot fit all use cases well...

.. and it is is probably less efficient, because everything need to
fit in the same API.
Overall, this set doesn't feel like a good change to me.

If the LSM doesn't implement this hook, sys_lsm_manage_policy will return 0
for any inputs, right? This is gonna be so confusing for users.

...or until an updated copy of that updated header file is copied
somewhere, and then included in the kselftests. That's the approach
that I ultimately settled upon, after some discussion and negotion.
Details below.

Yes. This one sets up the general approach, which is available to
all kselftests: TOOLS_INCLUDES. It also changes selftests/mm to
set TOOLS_INCLUDES in that build:
e076eaca5906 ("selftests: break the dependency upon local header files")
And here is a representative application of the above, to selftests/mm. In
other words, taking advantage of the new file location pointed to by
TOOLS_INCLUDES:
580ea358af0a ("selftests/mm: fix additional build errors for selftests")

I don't recall all the reasons why kselftests needed "make headers"
One reason I could think of was that when a new test depends on a
header change, the test won't build unless headers are installed.
If this requirement is causing problems for tests that don't fall
into the category and we probably have more of them mow, we can
clean that up.
John, you mentioned you got mm tests working without headers?
Can you share the commit here.

* [PATCH 0/3] lsm: introduce lsm_manage_policy() syscall
From: Maxime Bélair @ 2025-05-06 14:32 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: linux-security-module
Cc: john.johansen, paul, jmorris, serge, mic, kees,

This patchset introduces a new syscall, lsm_manage_policy(), and the
associated Linux Security Module hook security_lsm_manage_policy(),
providing a unified interface for loading and managing LSM policies.
This syscall complements the existing per‑LSM pseudo‑filesystem mechanism
and works even when those filesystems are not mounted or available.
With this new syscall, administrators may lock down access to the
pseudo‑filesystem yet still manage LSM policies. A single, tightly scoped
entry point then replaces the many file operations exposed by those
filesystems, significantly reducing the attack surface. This is
particularly useful in containers or processes already confined by
Landlock, where these pseudo‑filesystems are typically unavailable.
Because it provides a logical and unified interface, lsm_manage_policy()
is simpler to use than several heterogeneous pseudo‑filesystems and
avoids edge cases such as partially loaded policies. It also eliminates
VFS overhead, yielding performance gains notably when many policies are
loaded, for instance at boot time.
This initial implementation is intentionally minimal to limit the scope
of changes. Currently, only policy loading is supported, and only
AppArmor registers this LSM hook. However, any LSM can adopt this
interface, and future patches could extend this syscall to support more
operations, such as replacing, removing, or querying loaded policies.
Landlock already provides three Landlock‑specific syscalls (e.g.
landlock_add_rule()) to restrict ambient rights for sets of processes
without touching any pseudo-filesystem. lsm_manage_policy() generalizes
that approach to the entire LSM layer, so any module can expose its
policy operations through one uniform interface and reap the advantages
outlined above.
This patchset is available at [1] and a minimal user space example
showing how to use this syscall with AppArmor is at [2].

Define a new LSM hook security_lsm_manage_policy and wire it into the
lsm_manage_policy() syscall so that LSMs can register a unified interface
for policy management. This initial, minimal implementation only supports
the LSM_POLICY_LOAD operation to limit changes.

Add support for the new lsm_manage_policy syscall, providing a unified
API for loading and modifying LSM policies without requiring the LSM’s
pseudo-filesystem.
Benefits:
- Works even if the LSM pseudo-filesystem isn’t mounted or available
(e.g. in containers)
- Offers a logical and unified interface rather than multiple
heterogeneous pseudo-filesystems.
- Avoids overhead of other kernel interfaces for better efficiency

Enable users to manage AppArmor policies through the new hook
lsm_manage_policy. Currently, policies can be added but not replaced
using this new mechanism, ensuring that this interface can only further
confine the system.
