Create a system call lsm_set_self_attr() to set a security
module maintained attribute of the current process.
Historically these attributes have been exposed to user space via
entries in procfs under /proc/self/attr.
The attribute value is provided in a lsm_ctx structure. The structure
identifies the size of the attribute, and the attribute value. The format
of the attribute value is defined by the security module. A flags field
is included for LSM specific information. It is currently unused and must
be 0. The total size of the data, including the lsm_ctx structure and any
padding, is maintained as well.
struct lsm_ctx {
__u64 id;
__u64 flags;
__u64 len;
__u64 ctx_len;
__u8 ctx[];
};
Two new LSM hooks are used to interface with the LSMs.
security_getselfattr() collects the lsm_ctx values from the
LSMs that support the hook, accounting for space requirements.
security_setselfattr() identifies which LSM the attribute is
intended for and passes it along.

This doesn't fit with the documenation. I guess it should handle NULL ctx in both cases. This cases should be tested. I'm now wondering if this LSM_FLAG_SINGLE makes sense though.

This check looks good but it looks inconsistent with the non-LSM_FLAG_SINGLE loop which doesn't check that the arrays only contain zeros.

This check is not correct. It should test if there is no value other than LSM_FLAG_SINGLE. Please add a test with something like this: lsm_get_self_attr(valid_attr, valid_ctx, valid_size, LSM_FLAG_SINGLE | 1 << 9)

Please add a comment to highlight that only LSM_FLAG_SINGLE is handled for this loop.

To be consistent with the previous copy_struct_from_user() call, we should at least check that the ctx arrays contain zeros too. We should add a test for this case.

We should not allow user space to allocate arbitrary kernel buffer size. Limiting to PAGE_SIZE seems reasonable.

Because we only handle one LSM at a time, size should be equal to lctx->len right?

It seems that there is no (shared) check that the whole ctx is used. It would be nice for the LSM hook implementations to return the processed size and let this code check that there is no remaining data left, or at least that it only contains zeros.
