2010-08-02AppArmor: file enforcement routinesJohn Johansen
AppArmor does files enforcement via pathname matching. Matching is done at file open using a dfa match engine. Permission is against the final file object not parent directories, ie. the traversal of directories as part of the file match is implicitly allowed. In the case of nonexistant files (creation) permissions are checked against the target file not the directory. eg. In case of creating the file /dir/new, permissions are checked against the match /dir/new not against /dir/. The permissions for matches are currently stored in the dfa accept table, but this will change to allow for dfa reuse and also to allow for sharing of wider accept states.

2010-08-02AppArmor: userspace interfacesJohn Johansen
The /proc/<pid>/attr/* interface is used for process introspection and commands. While the apparmorfs interface is used for global introspection and loading and removing policy. The interface currently only contains the files necessary for loading policy, and will be extended in the future to include sysfs style single per file introspection inteface. The old AppArmor 2.4 interface files have been removed into a compatibility patch, that distros can use to maintain backwards compatibility.

2010-08-02AppArmor: dfa match engineJohn Johansen
A basic dfa matching engine based off the dfa engine in the Dragon Book. It uses simple row comb compression with a check field. This allows AppArmor to do pattern matching in linear time, and also avoids stack issues that an nfa based engine may have. The dfa engine uses a byte based comparison, with all values being valid. Any potential character encoding are handled user side when the dfa tables are created. By convention AppArmor uses \0 to separate two dependent path matches since \0 is not a valid path character (this is done in the link permission check). The dfa tables are generated in user space and are verified at load time to be internally consistent. There are several future improvements planned for the dfa engine: * The dfa engine may be converted to a hybrid nfa-dfa engine, with a fixed size limited stack. This would allow for size time tradeoffs, by inserting limited nfa states to help control state explosion that can occur with dfas. * The dfa engine may pickup the ability to do limited dynamic variable matching, instead of fixing all variables at policy load time.

2010-08-02AppArmor: contexts used in attaching policy to system objectsJohn Johansen
AppArmor contexts attach profiles and state to tasks, files, etc. when a direct profile reference is not sufficient. Signed-off-by: John Johansen <john.johansen@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
