Subject: [PATCH v4 3/5] selftests/landlock: Test LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_NO_NEW_PRIVS
Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2026 11:45:21 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260809154544.1253100-4-utilityemal77@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260809154544.1253100-1-utilityemal77@gmail.com>
Check that a successful landlock_restrict_self(2) call with
LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_NO_NEW_PRIVS sets no_new_privs without a prior
prctl(2) call nor CAP_SYS_ADMIN, that a failed call from both an
invalid ruleset and hitting the layer maximum leaves the attribute
unchanged, and that LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_TSYNC extends it to sibling
threads. Also check that this flag requires a ruleset.
Turn the multi_threaded_success test into a multi_threaded fixture with
success, no_new_privs, and no_new_privs_max_layers variants to factor
out the threading code.
Finally, rename restrict_self_fd_logging_flags to
restrict_self_fd_flags, and restrict_self_logging_flags to
restrict_self_flags to indicate that non-logging flags are now tested.

Notes:
v3->v4:
- Turn multi_threaded_{success,no_new_privs,no_new_privs_max_layers}
into variants of a multi_threaded fixture, per Mickaël's
feedback.
- Move the minimal ABI/flag checks into the previous patch.
