Dmitry, is it possible to update configs for linux-next.git , for
we want to test a big change in LSM which will go to Linux 5.1 ?

TOMOYO security module (CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO=y) can now coexist with
SELinux/Smack/AppArmor security modules, and SafeSetID security module
(CONFIG_SECURITY_SAFESETID=y) was added. Testing with these modules also
enabled might find something...
Hi,

syzbot configs/cmdline args are stored here:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/tree/master/dashboard/config

I've tried to update to the latest kernel, the diff is below.
Few questions:
1. How are modules enabled now?
We pass security=selinux of security=smack on command line. What do we
need to pass now to enable several modules at the same time?
Removing security= parameter from kernel boot command line will do it.

  security/apparmor/lsm.c:        .flags = LSM_FLAG_LEGACY_MAJOR | LSM_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE,
  security/selinux/hooks.c:       .flags = LSM_FLAG_LEGACY_MAJOR | LSM_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE,
  security/smack/smack_lsm.c:     .flags = LSM_FLAG_LEGACY_MAJOR | LSM_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE,
  security/tomoyo/tomoyo.c:       .flags = LSM_FLAG_LEGACY_MAJOR,
  security/security.c:                    if ((major->flags & LSM_FLAG_LEGACY_MAJOR) &&

But this means that, if same kernel config/cmdline are used between
linux-next.git and linux.git (etc.), syzbot will need to choose from

 (a) stop sharing kernel cmdline between linux-next.git and linux.git (etc.)

or

 (b) stop sharing kernel config between SELinux, Smack and AppArmor

or

 (c) start testing after the LSM changes went to linux.git as Linux 5.1-rc1

. Is (a) or (b) possible? If this is a too much change, (c) will be OK.

Thanks for the explanations.

Here is the change that I've come up with:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/commit/aa53be276dc84aa8b3825b3416542447ff82b41a

I've disabled CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO_OMIT_USERSPACE_LOADER (it
actually looked like omitting a user-space loader that I don't have is
the right thing to do, but okay, it indeed does not with =y).

For now I just enabled TOMOYO and SAFESETID.
I see the problem with making both linux-next and upstream work. If we
use a single config and lsm= cmdline argument, then on upstream all
kernels will use the same module (they won't understand lsm=). But if
we add security= then it will take precedence over lsm= on linux-next,
so we won't get stacked modules.

Let's go with (c) because I don't want an additional long-term maintenance cost.
If I understand it correctly later we will need to replace:
security=selinux
security=smack
security=apparmor

with:
lsm=yama,safesetid,integrity,selinux,tomoyo
lsm=yama,safesetid,integrity,smack,tomoyo
lsm=yama,safesetid,integrity,tomoyo,apparmor

Filed https://github.com/google/syzkaller/issues/973 to not forget about it.
