Within BPF syscall handling code CAP_NET_ADMIN checks stand out a bit compared to CAP_BPF and CAP_PERFMON checks. For the latter, CAP_BPF or CAP_PERFMON are checked first, but if they are not set, CAP_SYS_ADMIN takes over and grants whatever part of BPF syscall is required. Similar kind of checks that involve CAP_NET_ADMIN are not so consistent. One out of four uses does follow CAP_BPF/CAP_PERFMON model: during BPF_PROG_LOAD, if the type of BPF program is "network-related" either CAP_NET_ADMIN or CAP_SYS_ADMIN is required to proceed. But in three other cases CAP_NET_ADMIN is required even if CAP_SYS_ADMIN is set: - when creating DEVMAP/XDKMAP/CPU_MAP maps; - when attaching CGROUP_SKB programs; - when handling BPF_PROG_QUERY command. This patch is changing the latter three cases to follow BPF_PROG_LOAD model, that is allowing to proceed under either CAP_NET_ADMIN or CAP_SYS_ADMIN. This also makes it cleaner in subsequent BPF token patches to switch wholesomely to a generic bpf_token_capable(int cap) check, that always falls back to CAP_SYS_ADMIN if requested capability is missing.

Add few new mount options to BPF FS that allow to specify that a given
BPF FS instance allows creation of BPF token (added in the next patch),
and what sort of operations are allowed under BPF token. As such, we get
4 new mount options, each is a bit mask
- `delegate_cmds` allow to specify which bpf() syscall commands are
allowed with BPF token derived from this BPF FS instance;
- if BPF_MAP_CREATE command is allowed, `delegate_maps` specifies
a set of allowable BPF map types that could be created with BPF token;
- if BPF_PROG_LOAD command is allowed, `delegate_progs` specifies
a set of allowable BPF program types that could be loaded with BPF token;
- if BPF_PROG_LOAD command is allowed, `delegate_attachs` specifies
a set of allowable BPF program attach types that could be loaded with
BPF token; delegate_progs and delegate_attachs are meant to be used
together, as full BPF program type is, in general, determined
through both program type and program attach type.
Currently, these mount options accept the following forms of values:
- a special value "any", that enables all possible values of a given
bit set;
- numeric value (decimal or hexadecimal, determined by kernel
automatically) that specifies a bit mask value directly;
- all the values for a given mount option are combined, if specified
multiple times. E.g., `mount -t bpf nodev /path/to/mount -o
delegate_maps=0x1 -o delegate_maps=0x2` will result in a combined 0x3
mask.
Ideally, more convenient (for humans) symbolic form derived from
corresponding UAPI enums would be accepted (e.g., `-o
delegate_progs=kprobe|tracepoint`) and I intend to implement this, but
it requires a bunch of UAPI header churn, so I postponed it until this
feature lands upstream or at least there is a definite consensus that
this feature is acceptable and is going to make it, just to minimize
amount of wasted effort and not increase amount of non-essential code to
be reviewed.
Attentive reader will notice that BPF FS is now marked as
FS_USERNS_MOUNT, which theoretically makes it mountable inside non-init
user namespace as long as the process has sufficient *namespaced*
capabilities within that user namespace. But in reality we still
restrict BPF FS to be mountable only by processes with CAP_SYS_ADMIN *in
init userns* (extra check in bpf_fill_super()). FS_USERNS_MOUNT is added
to allow creating BPF FS context object (i.e., fsopen("bpf")) from
inside unprivileged process inside non-init userns, to capture that
userns as the owning userns. It will still be required to pass this
context object back to privileged process to instantiate and mount it.
This manipulation is important, because capturing non-init userns as the
owning userns of BPF FS instance (super block) allows to use that userns
to constraint BPF token to that userns later on (see next patch). So
creating BPF FS with delegation inside unprivileged userns will restrict
derived BPF token objects to only "work" inside that intended userns,
making it scoped to a intended "container". Also, setting these
delegation options requires capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN), so unprivileged
process cannot set this up without involvement of a privileged process.
There is a set of selftests at the end of the patch set that simulates
this sequence of steps and validates that everything works as intended.
But careful review is requested to make sure there are no missed gaps in
the implementation and testing.
This somewhat subtle set of aspects is the result of previous
discussions ([0]) about various user namespace implications and
interactions with BPF token functionality and is necessary to contain
BPF token inside intended user namespace.

Add new kind of BPF kernel object, BPF token. BPF token is meant to
allow delegating privileged BPF functionality, like loading a BPF
program or creating a BPF map, from privileged process to a *trusted*
unprivileged process, all while having a good amount of control over which
privileged operations could be performed using provided BPF token.
This is achieved through mounting BPF FS instance with extra delegation
mount options, which determine what operations are delegatable, and also
constraining it to the owning user namespace (as mentioned in the
previous patch).
BPF token itself is just a derivative from BPF FS and can be created
through a new bpf() syscall command, BPF_TOKEN_CREATE, which accepts BPF
FS FD, which can be attained through open() API by opening BPF FS mount
point. Currently, BPF token "inherits" delegated command, map types,
prog type, and attach type bit sets from BPF FS as is. In the future,
having an BPF token as a separate object with its own FD, we can allow
to further restrict BPF token's allowable set of things either at the
creation time or after the fact, allowing the process to guard itself
further from unintentionally trying to load undesired kind of BPF
programs. But for now we keep things simple and just copy bit sets as is.
When BPF token is created from BPF FS mount, we take reference to the
BPF super block's owning user namespace, and then use that namespace for
checking all the {CAP_BPF, CAP_PERFMON, CAP_NET_ADMIN, CAP_SYS_ADMIN}
capabilities that are normally only checked against init userns (using
capable()), but now we check them using ns_capable() instead (if BPF
token is provided). See bpf_token_capable() for details.
Such setup means that BPF token in itself is not sufficient to grant BPF
functionality. User namespaced process has to *also* have necessary
combination of capabilities inside that user namespace. So while
previously CAP_BPF was useless when granted within user namespace, now
it gains a meaning and allows container managers and sys admins to have
a flexible control over which processes can and need to use BPF
functionality within the user namespace (i.e., container in practice).
And BPF FS delegation mount options and derived BPF tokens serve as
a per-container "flag" to grant overall ability to use bpf() (plus further
restrict on which parts of bpf() syscalls are treated as namespaced).
Note also, BPF_TOKEN_CREATE command itself requires ns_capable(CAP_BPF)
within the BPF FS owning user namespace, rounding up the ns_capable()
story of BPF token.

Allow providing token_fd for BPF_MAP_CREATE command to allow controlled BPF map creation from unprivileged process through delegated BPF token. Wire through a set of allowed BPF map types to BPF token, derived from BPF FS at BPF token creation time. This, in combination with allowed_cmds allows to create a narrowly-focused BPF token (controlled by privileged agent) with a restrictive set of BPF maps that application can attempt to create.

Accept BPF token FD in BPF_BTF_LOAD command to allow BTF data loading through delegated BPF token. BTF loading is a pretty straightforward operation, so as long as BPF token is created with allow_cmds granting BPF_BTF_LOAD command, kernel proceeds to parsing BTF data and creating BTF object.

Add basic support of BPF token to BPF_PROG_LOAD. Wire through a set of allowed BPF program types and attach types, derived from BPF FS at BPF token creation time. Then make sure we perform bpf_token_capable() checks everywhere where it's relevant. Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org>
Instead of performing unconditional system-wide bpf_capable() and perfmon_capable() calls inside bpf_base_func_proto() function (and other similar ones) to determine eligibility of a given BPF helper for a given program, use previously recorded BPF token during BPF_PROG_LOAD command handling to inform the decision.

Based on upstream discussion ([0]), rework existing bpf_prog_alloc_security LSM hook. Rename it to bpf_prog_load and instead of passing bpf_prog_aux, pass proper bpf_prog pointer for a full BPF program struct. Also, we pass bpf_attr union with all the user-provided arguments for BPF_PROG_LOAD command. This will give LSMs as much information as we can basically provide. The hook is also BPF token-aware now, and optional bpf_token struct is passed as a third argument. bpf_prog_load LSM hook is called after a bunch of sanity checks were performed, bpf_prog and bpf_prog_aux were allocated and filled out, but right before performing full-fledged BPF verification step. bpf_prog_free LSM hook is now accepting struct bpf_prog argument, for consistency. SELinux code is adjusted to all new names, types, and signatures. Note, given that bpf_prog_load (previously bpf_prog_alloc) hook can be used by some LSMs to allocate extra security blob, but also by other LSMs to reject BPF program loading, we need to make sure that bpf_prog_free LSM hook is called after bpf_prog_load/bpf_prog_alloc one *even* if the hook itself returned error. If we don't do that, we run the risk of leaking memory. This seems to be possible today when combining SELinux and BPF LSM, as one example, depending on their relative ordering. Also, for BPF LSM setup, add bpf_prog_load and bpf_prog_free to sleepable LSM hooks list, as they are both executed in sleepable context. Also drop bpf_prog_load hook from untrusted, as there is no issue with refcount or anything else anymore, that originally forced us to add it to untrusted list in c0c852d ("bpf: Do not mark certain LSM hook arguments as trusted"). We now trigger this hook much later and it should not be an issue anymore.

Similarly to bpf_prog_alloc LSM hook, rename and extend bpf_map_alloc hook into bpf_map_create, taking not just struct bpf_map, but also bpf_attr and bpf_token, to give a fuller context to LSMs. Unlike bpf_prog_alloc, there is no need to move the hook around, as it currently is firing right before allocating BPF map ID and FD, which seems to be a sweet spot. But like bpf_prog_alloc/bpf_prog_free combo, make sure that bpf_map_free LSM hook is called even if bpf_map_create hook returned error, as if few LSMs are combined together it could be that one LSM successfully allocated security blob for its needs, while subsequent LSM rejected BPF map creation. The former LSM would still need to free up LSM blob, so we need to ensure security_bpf_map_free() is called regardless of the outcome.

Wire up bpf_token_create and bpf_token_free LSM hooks, which allow to allocate LSM security blob (we add `void *security` field to struct bpf_token for that), but also control who can instantiate BPF token. This follows existing pattern for BPF map and BPF prog. Also add security_bpf_token_allow_cmd() and security_bpf_token_capable() LSM hooks that allow LSM implementation to control and negate (if necessary) BPF token's delegation of a specific bpf_cmd and capability, respectively.

Wire through token_fd into bpf_prog_load(). Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org>
Add a selftest that attempts to conceptually replicate intended BPF token use cases inside user namespaced container. Child process is forked. It is then put into its own userns and mountns. Child creates BPF FS context object. This ensures child userns is captured as the owning userns for this instance of BPF FS. Given setting delegation mount options is privileged operation, we ensure that child cannot set them. This context is passed back to privileged parent process through Unix socket, where parent sets up delegation options, creates, and mounts it as a detached mount. This mount FD is passed back to the child to be used for BPF token creation, which allows otherwise privileged BPF operations to succeed inside userns. We validate that all of token-enabled privileged commands (BPF_BTF_LOAD, BPF_MAP_CREATE, and BPF_PROG_LOAD) work as intended. They should only succeed inside the userns if a) BPF token is provided with proper allowed sets of commands and types; and b) namespaces CAP_BPF and other privileges are set. Lacking a) or b) should lead to -EPERM failures. Based on suggested workflow by Christian Brauner ([0]).
