Subject: [PATCH v2 02/15] lsm: Add the bprm_apply_policy_object LSM hook
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 10:58:44 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831145858.3869191-3-utilityemal77@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831145858.3869191-1-utilityemal77@gmail.com>

Add the first policy object operation, applying a policy to the
credentials prepared for an execution:

  bprm_apply_policy_object(bprm, object, flags)

The hook is only called between the preparation and the commitment of
the bprm's credentials, i.e. from a bprm_creds_for_exec() or
bprm_creds_from_file() context, where the executed task can still be
arranged to start confined by the policy.

How the policy composes with restrictions the credentials already
carry, and the meaning of @flags, are defined by the implementing
LSM, which must reject unsupported flags with -EINVAL.  An LSM with
no notion of applying a policy object to an execution does not
implement the hook, and the calling kfunc fails with -EOPNOTSUPP.

Like the lifetime hooks, this hook is excluded from the "bpf" LSM's
attachment points, as the targeted dispatch makes an attachment there
unreachable.
