Similar to networking sandboxing programs and cgroup-v2 based hooks (BPF_CGROUP_INET_[INGRESS|EGRESS,] BPF_CGROUP_INET[4|6]_[BIND|CONNECT], etc) introduce basic per-container sandboxing for file access via new BPF_PROG_TYPE_FILE_FILTER program type that attaches after security_file_open() LSM hook and works as additional file_open filter. The new cgroup bpf hook is called BPF_CGROUP_FILE_OPEN. Just like other cgroup-bpf programs new BPF_PROG_TYPE_FILE_FILTER type is only available to root. This program type has access to single argument 'struct bpf_file_info' that contains standard sys_stat fields: struct bpf_file_info { __u64 inode; __u32 dev_major; __u32 dev_minor; __u32 fs_magic; __u32 mnt_id; __u32 nlink; __u32 mode; /* file mode S_ISDIR, S_ISLNK, 0755, etc */ __u32 flags; /* open flags O_RDWR, O_CREAT, etc */ };It's probably nice to have file uid/gid as well.And an indication of which mount namespace we're looking at.
Both certainly can be added in the future without breaking progs. I didn't want to add too much all at once. For file uid/gid I prototyped bpf_get_statx(struct bpf_file_info *file, int flags, int mask, struct statx *sx, int size); helper that calls normal statx underneath. But it's not fast, since sizeof(struct statx) == 256 and it has to be fully inited by the helper or by the bpf prog (since bpf doesn't allow uninited memory anywhere). Then I thought about going back to older sys_stat helper (without x), since structs are smaller, but that didn't look as good either. So I've decied to table it for now and get the basic support via 'struct bpf_file_info' first. Then extend it later via new fields and new helpers.
