Subject: [RFC][PATCH] APPARMOR: add sid to profile mapping and sid recycling

AppArmor: add sid to profile mapping and sid recycling.

A security identifier table (sidtab) is a hash table of aa_profile
structures indexed by sid value.

sid_bitmap is a bitmap array for sid allocing and recycling.

alloc_sid: find the first zero bit in the sid_bitmap array.
free_sid: clear the bit in the sid_bitmap array.

This is going to be problematic as the new_profile just inherited old->sid just above.

/* released when @new is freed */
new->parent = aa_get_profile(old->parent);
new->ns = aa_get_namespace(old->ns);
new->sid = old->sid;
__list_add_profile(&policy->profiles, new);
/* inherit children */
list_for_each_entry_safe(child, tmp, &old->base.profiles, base.list) {

Basically the replacement profile is almost always treated as if it was the original
and the original design was that lookups against the sid would return the newest version of the
profile.

This is of course isn't set in stone and we can change that, for places that need the newest
version of a profile they could do a lookup against the sid and then use aa_newest_version

This might be the direction to go as it could mean we can move all the sid logic in profile
allocation and freeing instead of the helper functions (replace, alloc_null), etc

You can't just kfree the profile here, as reference counts etc have been taken above

This isn't going to work. The way the function works currently is that it isn't expected to
fail but you are failing it without the calling code being able to handle the failure.

It seems that in the rest of the code you were using sid value of -1 as invalid it
should be documented here as well

Hrmm I am really not liking the split between allocating the
sid and adding it. I realize that is partly because of how
the apparmor code is structured currently.

I think we should explore changing the original sid design as
mentioned above. That would enable combining the sid alloc and
profile addition, and it could be called from aa_alloc_profile

Basically I am think of something along the lines of

aa_alloc_profile( )
{
profile = kzmalloc();
if (!profile)
return NULL;
if (!aa_alloc_sid(profile))
kfree(profile)
return NULL;
