# Background
LSM hooks (callbacks) are currently invoked as indirect function calls. These
callbacks are registered into a linked list at boot time as the order of the
LSMs can be configured on the kernel command line with the "lsm=" command line
parameter.
Indirect function calls have a high overhead due to retpoline mitigation for
various speculative execution attacks.
Retpolines remain relevant even with newer generation CPUs as recently
discovered speculative attacks, like Spectre BHB need Retpolines to mitigate
against branch history injection and still need to be used in combination with
newer mitigation features like eIBRS.
This overhead is especially significant for the "bpf" LSM which allows the user
to implement LSM functionality with eBPF program. In order to facilitate this
the "bpf" LSM provides a default callback for all LSM hooks. When enabled,
the "bpf" LSM incurs an unnecessary / avoidable indirect call. This is
especially bad in OS hot paths (e.g. in the networking stack).
This overhead prevents the adoption of bpf LSM on performance critical
systems, and also, in general, slows down all LSMs.
Since we know the address of the enabled LSM callbacks at compile time and only
the order is determined at boot time, the LSM framework can allocate static
calls for each of the possible LSM callbacks and these calls can be updated once
the order is determined at boot.
This series is a respin of the RFC proposed by Paul Renauld (renauld@google.com)
and Brendan Jackman (jackmanb@google.com) [1]
# Performance improvement
With this patch-set some syscalls with lots of LSM hooks in their path
benefitted at an average of ~3% and I/O and Pipe based system calls benefitting
the most.
Here are the results of the relevant Unixbench system benchmarks with BPF LSM
and SELinux enabled with default policies enabled with and without these
patches.
Benchmark Delta(%): (+ is better)
===============================================================================
Execl Throughput +1.9356
File Write 1024 bufsize 2000 maxblocks +6.5953
Pipe Throughput +9.5499
Pipe-based Context Switching +3.0209
Process Creation +2.3246
Shell Scripts (1 concurrent) +1.4975
System Call Overhead +2.7815
System Benchmarks Index Score (Partial Only): +3.4859
In the best case, some syscalls like eventfd_create benefitted to about ~10%.

# BPF LSM Side effects
Patch 4 of the series also addresses the issues with the side effects of the
default value return values of the BPF LSM callbacks and also removes the
overheads associated with them making it deployable at hyperscale.
# v3 -> v4
* Refactor LSM count macros to use COUNT_ARGS
* Change CONFIG_SECURITY_HOOK_LIKELY likely's default value to be based on
the LSM enabled and have it depend on CONFIG_EXPERT. There are a lot of subtle
options behind CONFIG_EXPERT and this should, hopefully alleviate concerns
about yet another knob.
* __randomize_layout for struct lsm_static_call and, in addition to the cover
letter add performance numbers to 3rd patch and some minor commit message
updates.
* Rebase to linux-next.
# v2 -> v3
* Fixed a build issue on archs which don't have static calls and enable
CONFIG_SECURITY.
* Updated the LSM_COUNT macros based on Andrii's suggestions.
* Changed the security_ prefix to lsm_prefix based on Casey's suggestion.
* Inlined static_branch_maybe into lsm_for_each_hook on Kees' feedback.
# v1 -> v2 (based on linux-next, next-20230614)
* Incorporated suggestions from Kees
* Changed the way MAX_LSMs are counted from a binary based generator to a clever header.
* Add CONFIG_SECURITY_HOOK_LIKELY to configure the likelihood of LSM hooks.

This helps in easily initializing blocks of code (e.g. static calls and
keys).
UNROLL(N, MACRO, __VA_ARGS__) calls MACRO N times with the first
argument as the index of the iteration. This allows string pasting to
create unique tokens for variable names, function calls etc.
As an example:
#include <linux/unroll.h>
#define MACRO(N, a, b) \
int add_##N(int a, int b) \
{ \
return a + b + N; \
}
UNROLL(2, MACRO, x, y)
expands to:
int add_0(int x, int y)
{
return x + y + 0;
}
int add_1(int x, int y)
{
return x + y + 1;
}

These macros are a clever trick to determine a count of the number of
LSMs that are enabled in the config to ascertain the maximum number of
static calls that need to be configured per LSM hook.
Without this one would need to generate static calls for the total
number of LSMs in the kernel (even if they are not compiled) times the
number of LSM hooks which ends up being quite wasteful.

LSM hooks are currently invoked from a linked list as indirect calls
which are invoked using retpolines as a mitigation for speculative
attacks (Branch History / Target injection) and add extra overhead which
is especially bad in kernel hot paths:
security_file_ioctl:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Indirect calls that use retpolines leading to overhead, not just due
to extra instruction but also branch misses.

0xffffffff814f035f <+63>: pop %rbp
0xffffffff814f0360 <+64>: jmp 0xffffffff81f747c4 <__x86_return_thunk>
The indirect calls are not really needed as one knows the addresses of
enabled LSM callbacks at boot time and only the order can possibly
change at boot time with the lsm= kernel command line parameter.
An array of static calls is defined per LSM hook and the static calls
are updated at boot time once the order has been determined.
A static key guards whether an LSM static call is enabled or not,
without this static key, for LSM hooks that return an int, the presence
of the hook that returns a default value can create side-effects which
has resulted in bugs [1].
With the hook now exposed as a static call, one can see that the
retpolines are no longer there and the LSM callbacks are invoked
directly:

While this patch uses static_branch_unlikely indicating that an LSM hook
is likely to be not present, a subsequent makes it configurable. In most
cases this is still a better choice as even when an LSM with one hook is
added, empty slots are created for all LSM hooks (especially when many
LSMs that do not initialize most hooks are present on the system).
There are some hooks that don't use the call_int_hook and
call_void_hook. These hooks are updated to use a new macro called
security_for_each_hook where the lsm_callback is directly invoked as an
indirect call. Currently, there are no performance sensitive hooks that
use the security_for_each_hook macro. However, if, some performance
sensitive hooks are discovered, these can be updated to use static calls
with loop unrolling as well using a custom macro.
Below are results of the relevant Unixbench system benchmarks with BPF LSM
and SELinux enabled with default policies enabled with and without these
patches.

BPF LSM hooks have side-effects (even when a default value is returned),
as some hooks end up behaving differently due to the very presence of
the hook.
The static keys guarding the BPF LSM hooks are disabled by default and
enabled only when a BPF program is attached implementing the hook
logic. This avoids the issue of the side-effects and also the minor
overhead associated with the empty callback.

This config influences the nature of the static key that guards the
static call for LSM hooks.
When enabled, it indicates that an LSM static call slot is more likely
to be initialized. When disabled, it optimizes for the case when static
call slot is more likely to be not initialized.
When a major LSM like (SELinux, AppArmor, Smack etc) is active on a
system the system would benefit from enabling the config. However there
are other cases which would benefit from the config being disabled
(e.g. a system with a BPF LSM with no hooks enabled by default, or an
LSM like loadpin / yama). Ultimately, there is no one-size fits all
solution.
with CONFIG_SECURITY_HOOK_LIKELY enabled, the inactive /
uninitialized case is penalized with a direct jmp (still better than
an indirect jmp):

We're in an #ifdef CONFIG_SECURITY, so CAPABILITIES_ENABLED will always
be set. As such, we could leave off the trailing comma and list it

Ship it! ;)
Thanks for continuing to work on this; this is a classic case for
static_call.

Slight preference for explicitly having the capabilities listed than
implicitly over counting. But no strong opinion, fine with either
approches.

Any plans to further depessimize the state by not calling into these
modules if not configured?
For example Debian has a milipede:
CONFIG_LSM="landlock,lockdown,yama,loadpin,safesetid,integrity,apparmor,selinux,smack,tomoyo,bpf"
Everything is enabled (but not configured).
In particular tomoyo is quite nasty, rolling with big memsets only to
find it is not even enabled.

If it's not configured, we won't generate static call slots and even
if they are in the CONFIG_LSM (or lsm=) they are simply ignored.

Maybe there is a terminology mismatch here, so let me be more specific
with tomoyo as an example.
In debian you have:
CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO=y
CONFIG_LSM, as per above, includes it on the list.
At the same time debian does not ship any tooling to configure tomoyo
-- it is compiled into the kernel but not configured to enforce
anything.
On stock kernel this results in tons of calls to
tomoyo_init_request_info, which are quite expensive due to an
avoidable memset thrown in, and which always return
tomoyo_init_request_info.
Does not look like your patch whacks this problem.

So I am asking if there are plans to make these modules get out of the
way if they have nothing to do, like tomoyo in the example above.
Of course preferably distros would not make these weird configs, but I
suspect this ship has sailed.

This is an artifact of the existing stacking behavior (and solving it,
if needed, can be done in parallel to this series). Specifically it
seems Tomoyo is in the "lsm=" list when it shouldn't be.
That said, I've long advocated[1] for a way to explicitly disable LSMs
without affecting operational ordering. I think it would be very nice to
be able to boot with something like:
lsm=!yama
to disable Yama. Or for your case, "lsm=!tomoyo". Right now, you have to
figure out what the lsm list is, and then create a new one with the
LSM you want disabled removed from the list. i.e. with v6.2 and later
check the boot log, and you'll see:
LSM: initializing lsm=lockdown,capability,landlock,yama,integrity,apparmor
If you wanted to boot with Yama removed, you'd then pass:
lsm=lockdown,capability,landlock,integrity,apparmor
As a boot param. But I think this is fragile since now any new LSMs will
be by-default disabled once a sysadmin overrides the "lsm" list. Note
that booting with "lsm.debug=1" will show even more details. See commit
86ef3c735ec8 ("LSM: Better reporting of actual LSMs at boot").
So, if a distro has no support for an LSM but they want it _available_
in the kernel, they should leave it built in, but remove it from the
"lsm=" list. That's a reasonable bug to file against a distro...

Maybe I once more expressed myself poorly, I meant to say stock Debian
does not ship any tooling for tomoyo, but the kernel has support
compiled in.
Ultimately, after stacking got implemented, it was inevitable diestros
like Debian will enable whatever modules and expect them to not be a
problem if not configured by userspace.
I don't think any form of messing with CONFIG_LSM is a viable option,
even if you make it a boot param.
What should happen instead is that modules which are not given any
config don't get in the way.

If there is no tooling Debian should either not build the support into
the kernel or should leave it out of the CONFIG_LSM list.

Right -- this is an open problem, and I think we can solve it using the
static_call system (much like how the BPF LSM is doing it).

Actually it's not just a preference but really required. When the
CAPABILITIES is absent and all other LSMs are disabled it leads to
COUNT_ARGS() which evaluates to 0
This also happens here:
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/202309271206.d7fb60f9-oliver.sang@intel.com/
and to fix this we need:
-#define __COUNT_LSMS(skipped_arg, args...) COUNT_ARGS(args)
+#define __COUNT_LSMS(skipped_arg, args...) COUNT_ARGS(args...)
And I checked the edge cases with a simple c file
int test(void) {
int count = MAX_LSM_COUNT;
}
and make security/count.i:
for just CONFIG_SECURITY enabled:
int test(void) {
int count = 1;
}
with another LSM:
int test(void) {
int count = 2;
}
