| 5 | +LSM BPF Programs |
| 6 | +================ |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +These BPF programs allow runtime instrumentation of the LSM hooks by privileged |
| 9 | +users to implement system-wide MAC (Mandatory Access Control) and Audit |
| 10 | +policies using eBPF. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +Structure |
| 13 | +--------- |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +The example shows an eBPF program that can be attached to the ``file_mprotect`` |
| 16 | +LSM hook: |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +.. c:function:: int file_mprotect(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long reqprot, unsigned long prot); |
| 19 | +
|
| 20 | +Other LSM hooks which can be instrumented can be found in |
| 21 | +``include/linux/lsm_hooks.h``. |
| 22 | +
|
| 23 | +eBPF programs that use :doc:`/bpf/btf` do not need to include kernel headers |
| 24 | +for accessing information from the attached eBPF program's context. They can |
| 25 | +simply declare the structures in the eBPF program and only specify the fields |
| 26 | +that need to be accessed. |
| 27 | +
|
| 28 | +.. code-block:: c |
| 29 | +
|
| 30 | + struct mm_struct { |
| 31 | + unsigned long start_brk, brk, start_stack; |
| 32 | + } __attribute__((preserve_access_index)); |
| 33 | +
|
| 34 | + struct vm_area_struct { |
| 35 | + unsigned long start_brk, brk, start_stack; |
| 36 | + unsigned long vm_start, vm_end; |
| 37 | + struct mm_struct *vm_mm; |
| 38 | + } __attribute__((preserve_access_index)); |
| 39 | +
|
| 40 | +
|
| 41 | +.. note:: The order of the fields is irrelevant. |
| 42 | +
|
| 43 | +This can be further simplified (if one has access to the BTF information at |
| 44 | +build time) by generating the ``vmlinux.h`` with: |
| 45 | +
|
| 46 | +.. code-block:: console |
| 47 | +
|
| 48 | + # bpftool btf dump file <path-to-btf-vmlinux> format c > vmlinux.h |
| 49 | +
|
| 50 | +.. note:: ``path-to-btf-vmlinux`` can be ``/sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux`` if the |
| 51 | + build environment matches the environment the BPF programs are |
| 52 | + deployed in. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +The ``vmlinux.h`` can then simply be included in the BPF programs without |
| 55 | +requiring the definition of the types. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +The eBPF programs can be declared using the``BPF_PROG`` |
| 58 | +macros defined in `tools/lib/bpf/bpf_tracing.h`_. In this |
| 59 | +example: |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | + * ``"lsm/file_mprotect"`` indicates the LSM hook that the program must |
| 62 | + be attached to |
| 63 | + * ``mprotect_audit`` is the name of the eBPF program |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +.. code-block:: c |
| 66 | +
|
| 67 | + SEC("lsm/file_mprotect") |
| 68 | + int BPF_PROG(mprotect_audit, struct vm_area_struct *vma, |
| 69 | + unsigned long reqprot, unsigned long prot, int ret) |
| 70 | + { |
| 71 | + /* ret is the return value from the previous BPF program |
| 72 | + * or 0 if it's the first hook. |
| 73 | + */ |
| 74 | + if (ret != 0) |
| 75 | + return ret; |
| 76 | +
|
| 77 | + int is_heap; |
| 78 | +
|
| 79 | + is_heap = (vma->vm_start >= vma->vm_mm->start_brk && |
| 80 | + vma->vm_end <= vma->vm_mm->brk); |
| 81 | +
|
| 82 | + /* Return an -EPERM or write information to the perf events buffer |
| 83 | + * for auditing |
| 84 | + */ |
| 85 | + if (is_heap) |
| 86 | + return -EPERM; |
| 87 | + } |
| 88 | +
|
| 89 | +The ``__attribute__((preserve_access_index))`` is a clang feature that allows |
| 90 | +the BPF verifier to update the offsets for the access at runtime using the |
| 91 | +:doc:`/bpf/btf` information. Since the BPF verifier is aware of the types, it |
| 92 | +also validates all the accesses made to the various types in the eBPF program. |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +Loading |
| 95 | +------- |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +eBPF programs can be loaded with the :manpage:`bpf(2)` syscall's |
| 98 | +``BPF_PROG_LOAD`` operation: |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +.. code-block:: c |
| 101 | +
|
| 102 | + struct bpf_object *obj; |
| 103 | +
|
| 104 | + obj = bpf_object__open("./my_prog.o"); |
| 105 | + bpf_object__load(obj); |
| 106 | +
|
| 107 | +This can be simplified by using a skeleton header generated by ``bpftool``: |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +.. code-block:: console |
| 110 | +
|
| 111 | + # bpftool gen skeleton my_prog.o > my_prog.skel.h |
| 112 | +
|
| 113 | +and the program can be loaded by including ``my_prog.skel.h`` and using |
| 114 | +the generated helper, ``my_prog__open_and_load``. |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +Attachment to LSM Hooks |
| 117 | +----------------------- |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +The LSM allows attachment of eBPF programs as LSM hooks using :manpage:`bpf(2)` |
| 120 | +syscall's ``BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN`` operation or more simply by |
| 121 | +using the libbpf helper ``bpf_program__attach_lsm``. |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +The program can be detached from the LSM hook by *destroying* the ``link`` |
| 124 | +link returned by ``bpf_program__attach_lsm`` using ``bpf_link__destroy``. |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +One can also use the helpers generated in ``my_prog.skel.h`` i.e. |
| 127 | +``my_prog__attach`` for attachment and ``my_prog__destroy`` for cleaning up. |
| 128 | + |
