[PATCH v3 09/20] landlock: Add landlock_add_rule_fs and landlock_add_rule_net tracepoints

From: Mickaël Salaün <mic@digikod.net>
Date: 2026-07-22 17:12:35
Also in: linux-security-module
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), landlock security module, security subsystem, the rest, tracing · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Mickaël Salaün, Paul Moore, James Morris, "Serge E. Hallyn", Linus Torvalds, Steven Rostedt, Masami Hiramatsu

Add tracepoints for Landlock rule addition, landlock_add_rule_fs for
filesystem rules and landlock_add_rule_net for network rules, so trace
consumers can correlate filesystem objects and network ports with their
rulesets.  Both are emitted under the ruleset lock (asserted in
TP_fast_assign) so an eBPF program reads the ruleset, including the rule
just inserted, in a consistent snapshot.

Add a version field to struct landlock_ruleset, gated on
CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS like the id field and incremented under the ruleset
lock on each successful landlock_add_rule(2), including when it only
extends an existing rule's access rights.  It fills the existing 4-byte
hole after usage, so the struct does not grow.  Pairing the ruleset ID
with the version lets a later restrict_self event record the exact
ruleset revision merged into a domain.

Resolve the filesystem rule's absolute path with d_absolute_path()
rather than the d_path() audit uses: d_absolute_path() produces
namespace-independent paths that do not depend on the tracer's chroot
state, making trace output deterministic regardless of mount namespace
configuration.  Distinguish the error cases as "<too_long>"
(-ENAMETOOLONG) and "<unreachable>" (anonymous files or detached
mounts).

Changes since v2:
https://patch.msgid.link/20260406143717.1815792-8-mic@digikod.net
- Order the add_rule_net tracepoint arguments access_rights before
  port, matching add_rule_fs.
- Reformatted TP_STRUCT__entry and TP_fast_assign to kernel tracing
  convention (requested by Steven Rostedt).
- Render access_rights as symbolic names with __print_flags(), shared
  with the audit blocker names, instead of raw hex.
- Drop the tautological version static assertion (the counter tracks
  add-rule operations, not rule count) and clarify that @version is
  incremented on access-right extensions too.
- Gate the version field and its writer on CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS (only
  tracing uses it) instead of CONFIG_SECURITY_LANDLOCK_LOG, matching the
  id field.
- Adapt rule insertion to the base's quiet flag (landlock_insert_rule()
  flags argument).

Changes since v1:
https://patch.msgid.link/20250523165741.693976-5-mic@digikod.net
- Added landlock_add_rule_net tracepoint for network rules.
- Dropped key=inode:0x%lx from add_rule_fs printk, using dev/ino
  instead.
- Used ruleset Landlock ID instead of kernel pointer in printk.
- Differentiated d_absolute_path() error cases (suggested by
  Tingmao Wang).
- Moved DEFINE_FREE(__putname) to include/linux/fs.h (noticed by
  Tingmao Wang).
- Added version field to struct landlock_ruleset.
- Added version to add_rule trace events (format:
  ruleset=<id>.<version>).
- Added d_absolute_path() vs d_path() rationale to commit message.
