Subject: [PATCH v5 0/6] Add support for O_MAYEXEC

Hi,

This fifth patch series add new kernel configurations (OMAYEXEC_STATIC,
OMAYEXEC_ENFORCE_MOUNT, and OMAYEXEC_ENFORCE_FILE) to enable to
configure the security policy at kernel build time.  As requested by
Mimi Zohar, I completed the series with one of her patches for IMA.

The goal of this patch series is to enable to control script execution
with interpreters help.  A new O_MAYEXEC flag, usable through
openat2(2), is added to enable userspace script interpreter to delegate
to the kernel (and thus the system security policy) the permission to
interpret/execute scripts or other files containing what can be seen as
commands.

A simple system-wide security policy can be enforced by the system
administrator through a sysctl configuration consistent with the mount
points or the file access rights.  The documentation patch explains the
prerequisites.

Furthermore, the security policy can also be delegated to an LSM, either
a MAC system or an integrity system.  For instance, the new kernel
MAY_OPENEXEC flag closes a major IMA measurement/appraisal interpreter
integrity gap by bringing the ability to check the use of scripts [1].
Other uses are expected, such as for openat2(2) [2], SGX integration
[3], bpffs [4] or IPE [5].

Userspace needs to adapt to take advantage of this new feature.  For
example, the PEP 578 [6] (Runtime Audit Hooks) enables Python 3.8 to be
extended with policy enforcement points related to code interpretation,
which can be used to align with the PowerShell audit features.
Additional Python security improvements (e.g. a limited interpreter
withou -c, stdin piping of code) are on their way.

The initial idea come from CLIP OS 4 and the original implementation has
been used for more than 12 years:
https://github.com/clipos-archive/clipos4_doc

An introduction to O_MAYEXEC was given at the Linux Security Summit
Europe 2018 - Linux Kernel Security Contributions by ANSSI:

The "write xor execute" principle was explained at Kernel Recipes 2018 -

This patch series can be applied on top of v5.7-rc4.  This can be tested
with CONFIG_SYSCTL.  I would really appreciate constructive comments on
this patch series.
