2026-02-06landlock: Multithreading support for landlock_restrict_self()Günther Noack
Introduce the LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_TSYNC flag. With this flag, a given Landlock ruleset is applied to all threads of the calling process, instead of only the current one. Without this flag, multithreaded userspace programs currently resort to using the nptl(7)/libpsx hack for multithreaded policy enforcement, which is also used by libcap and for setuid(2). Using this userspace-based scheme, the threads of a process enforce the same Landlock policy, but the resulting Landlock domains are still separate. The domains being separate causes multiple problems: * When using Landlock's "scoped" access rights, the domain identity is used to determine whether an operation is permitted. As a result, when using LANLDOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL, signaling between sibling threads stops working. This is a problem for programming languages and frameworks which are inherently multithreaded (e.g. Go). * In audit logging, the domains of separate threads in a process will get logged with different domain IDs, even when they are based on the same ruleset FD, which might confuse users.

2025-03-26landlock: Add LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_LOG_SUBDOMAINS_OFFMickaël Salaün
Add LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_LOG_SUBDOMAINS_OFF for the case of sandboxer tools, init systems, or runtime containers launching programs sandboxing themselves in an inconsistent way. Setting this flag should only depends on runtime configuration (i.e. not hardcoded). We don't create a new ruleset's option because this should not be part of the security policy: only the task that enforces the policy (not the one that create it) knows if itself or its children may request denied actions. This is the first and only flag that can be set without actually restricting the caller (i.e. without providing a ruleset). Extend struct landlock_cred_security with a u8 log_subdomains_off. struct landlock_file_security is still 16 bytes.

2025-03-26landlock: Identify domain execution crossingMickaël Salaün
Extend struct landlock_cred_security with a domain_exec bitmask to identify which Landlock domain were created by the current task's bprm. The whole bitmask is reset on each execve(2) call.

2025-03-26landlock: Prepare to use credential instead of domain for filesystemMickaël Salaün
This cosmetic change is needed for audit support, specifically to be able to filter according to cross-execution boundaries. Add landlock_get_applicable_subject(), mainly a copy of landlock_get_applicable_domain(), which will fully replace it in a following commit. Optimize current_check_access_path() to only handle the access request. Partially replace get_current_fs_domain() with explicit calls to landlock_get_applicable_subject(). The remaining ones will follow with more changes. Remove explicit domain->num_layers check which is now part of the landlock_get_applicable_subject() call.

2024-09-16landlock: Add signal scopingTahera Fahimi
Currently, a sandbox process is not restricted to sending a signal (e.g. SIGKILL) to a process outside the sandbox environment. The ability to send a signal for a sandboxed process should be scoped the same way abstract UNIX sockets are scoped. Therefore, we extend the "scoped" field in a ruleset with LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL to specify that a ruleset will deny sending any signal from within a sandbox process to its parent (i.e. any parent sandbox or non-sandboxed processes). This patch adds file_set_fowner and file_free_security hooks to set and release a pointer to the file owner's domain. This pointer, fown_domain in landlock_file_security will be used in file_send_sigiotask to check if the process can send a signal. The ruleset_with_unknown_scope test is updated to support LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL. This depends on two new changes: - commit 1934b212615d ("file: reclaim 24 bytes from f_owner"): replace container_of(fown, struct file, f_owner) with fown->file . - commit 26f204380a3c ("fs: Fix file_set_fowner LSM hook inconsistencies"): lock before calling the hook.

Let's follow a consistent and documented coding style. Everything may not be to our liking but it is better than tacit knowledge. Moreover, this will help maintain style consistency between different developers. This contains only whitespace changes.

2021-04-22landlock: Set up the security framework and manage credentialsMickaël Salaün
Process's credentials point to a Landlock domain, which is underneath implemented with a ruleset. In the following commits, this domain is used to check and enforce the ptrace and filesystem security policies. A domain is inherited from a parent to its child the same way a thread inherits a seccomp policy.
