Subject: [RFC PATCH v10 03/17] ipe: add evaluation loop

From: Deven Bowers <[email protected]>

IPE must have a centralized function to evaluate incoming callers
against IPE's policy. This iteration of the policy for against the rules
for that specific caller is known as the evaluation loop.

---
v2:
+ Split evaluation loop, access control hooks, and evaluation loop from policy parser and userspace interface to pass mailing list character limit

v3:
+ Move ipe_load_properties to patch 04.
+ Remove useless 0-initializations Prefix extern variables with ipe_
+ Remove kernel module parameters, as these are exposed through sysctls.
+ Add more prose to the IPE base config option help text.
+ Use GFP_KERNEL for audit_log_start.
+ Remove unnecessary caching system.
+ Remove comments from headers
+ Use rcu_access_pointer for rcu-pointer null check
+ Remove usage of reqprot; use prot only.
+Move policy load and activation audit event to 03/12

v4:
+ Remove sysctls in favor of securityfs nodes
+ Re-add kernel module parameters, as these are now exposed through securityfs.
+ Refactor property audit loop to a separate function.

v5:
+ fix minor grammatical errors
+ do not group rule by curly-brace in audit record,
+ reconstruct the exact rule.

v6:
+ No changes

v7:
+ Further split lsm creation into a separate commit from the evaluation loop and audit system, for easier review.
+ Propagating changes to support the new ipe_context structure in the evaluation loop.

v8:
+ Remove ipe_hook enumeration; hooks can be correlated via syscall record.

v9:
+ Remove ipe_context related code and simplify the evaluation loop.

v10:
+ Split eval part and boot_verified part

Can you rewrite that second sentence, it reads a bit awkward and I'm
unclear as to the meaning.

There is no "hooks.h" at this point in the patchset.

In order for 'git bisect' to remain useful (and it can be a very handy
tool), we need to ensure that each point in the patchset compiles
cleanly.

It looks like you are missing a rcu_read_unlock() in this case.

Also, given how simplistic the evaluation is in this case, why not
just do it here, saving the assignment, jump, etc.?

if (ctx->op == INVALID) {
rcu_read_unlock()
if (global_action == DENY)
return -EACCES;
return 0;
}

Why not break from this loop once evaluate_property() returns false?

This can just be 'return 0;' right?
