Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] security, lsm: Introduce security_create_user_ns()
Date:   Thu,  7 Jul 2022 17:32:25 -0500
Message-Id: <20220707223228.1940249-2-fred@cloudflare.com>
In-Reply-To: <20220707223228.1940249-1-fred@cloudflare.com>

Preventing user namespace (privileged or otherwise) creation comes in a
few of forms in order of granularity:

        1. /proc/sys/user/max_user_namespaces sysctl
        2. OS specific patch(es)
        3. CONFIG_USER_NS

To block a task based on its attributes, the LSM hook cred_prepare is a
good candidate for use because it provides more granular control, and
it is called before create_user_ns():

        cred = prepare_creds()
                security_prepare_creds()
                        call_int_hook(cred_prepare, ...
        if (cred)
                create_user_ns(cred)

Since security_prepare_creds() is meant for LSMs to copy and prepare
credentials, access control is an unintended use of the hook. Therefore
introduce a new function security_create_user_ns() with an accompanying
create_user_ns LSM hook.

This hook takes the prepared creds for LSM authors to write policy
against. On success, the new namespace is applied to credentials,
otherwise an error is returned.

Changes since v1:
- Changed commit wording
- Moved execution to be after id mapping check
- Changed signature to only accept a const struct cred *
