[SECMARK]: Add new packet controls to SELinux Add new per-packet access controls to SELinux, replacing the old packet controls. Packets are labeled with the iptables SECMARK and CONNSECMARK targets, then security policy for the packets is enforced with these controls. To allow for a smooth transition to the new controls, the old code is still present, but not active by default. To restore previous behavior, the old controls may be activated at runtime by writing a '1' to /selinux/compat_net, and also via the kernel boot parameter selinux_compat_net. Switching between the network control models requires the security load_policy permission. The old controls will probably eventually be removed and any continued use is discouraged. With this patch, the new secmark controls for SElinux are disabled by default, so existing behavior is entirely preserved, and the user is not affected at all. It also provides a config option to enable the secmark controls by default (which can always be overridden at boot and runtime). It is also noted in the kconfig help that the user will need updated userspace if enabling secmark controls for SELinux and that they'll probably need the SECMARK and CONNMARK targets, and conntrack protocol helpers, although such decisions are beyond the scope of kernel configuration.

selinux: sidtab reverse lookup hash table This replaces the reverse table lookup and reverse cache with a hashtable which improves cache-miss reverse-lookup times from O(n) to O(1)* and maintains the same performance as a reverse cache hit. This reduces the time needed to add a new sidtab entry from ~500us to 5us on a Pixel 3 when there are ~10,000 sidtab entries. The implementation uses the kernel's generic hashtable API, It uses the context's string represtation as the hash source, and the kernels generic string hashing algorithm full_name_hash() to reduce the string to a 32 bit value. This change also maintains the improvement introduced in commit ee1a84fdfeed ("selinux: overhaul sidtab to fix bug and improve performance") which removed the need to keep the current sidtab locked during policy reload. It does however introduce periodic locking of the target sidtab while converting the hashtable. Sidtab entries are never modified or removed, so the context struct stored in the sid_to_context tree can also be used for the context_to_sid hashtable to reduce memory usage.

selinux: cache the SID -> context string translation Translating a context struct to string can be quite slow, especially if the context has a lot of category bits set. This can cause quite noticeable performance impact in situations where the translation needs to be done repeatedly. A common example is a UNIX datagram socket with the SO_PASSSEC option enabled, which is used e.g. by systemd-journald when receiving log messages via datagram socket. This scenario can be reproduced with: cat /dev/urandom | base64 | logger & timeout 30s perf record -p $(pidof systemd-journald) -a -g kill %1 perf report -g none --pretty raw | grep security_secid_to_secctx Before the caching introduced by this patch, computing the context string (security_secid_to_secctx() function) takes up ~65% of systemd-journald's CPU time (assuming a context with 1024 categories set and Fedora x86_64 release kernel configs). After this patch (assuming near-perfect cache hit ratio) this overhead is reduced to just ~2%. This patch addresses the issue by caching a certain number (compile-time configurable) of recently used context strings to speed up repeated translations of the same context, while using only a small amount of memory. The cache is integrated into the existing sidtab table by adding a field to each entry, which when not NULL contains an RCU-protected pointer to a cache entry containing the cached string. The cache entries are kept in a linked list sorted according to how recently they were used. On a cache miss when the cache is full, the least recently used entry is removed to make space for the new entry. The patch migrates security_sid_to_context_core() to use the cache (also a few other functions where it was possible without too much fuss, but these mostly use the translation for logging in case of error, which is rare).
