      [PATCH] Keys: Add possessor permissions to keys [try #3] · 664cceb0
      David Howells authored
      The attached patch adds extra permission grants to keys for the possessor of a
      key in addition to the owner, group and other permissions bits. This makes
      SUID binaries easier to support without going as far as labelling keys and key
      targets using the LSM facilities.
      
      This patch adds a second "pointer type" to key structures (struct key_ref *)
      that can have the bottom bit of the address set to indicate the possession of
      a key. This is propagated through searches from the keyring to the discovered
      key. It has been made a separate type so that the compiler can spot attempts
      to dereference a potentially incorrect pointer.
      
      The "possession" attribute can't be attached to a key structure directly as
      it's not an intrinsic property of a key.
      
      Pointers to keys have been replaced with struct key_ref *'s wherever
      possession information needs to be passed through.
      
      This does assume that the bottom bit of the pointer will always be zero on
      return from kmem_cache_alloc().
      
      The key reference type has been made into a typedef so that at least it can be
      located in the sources, even though it's basically a pointer to an undefined
      type. I've also renamed the accessor functions to be more useful, and all
      reference variables should now end in "_ref".
