Subject: [PATCH 3/7 v21] LSM: Remove a comment from security.h

Remove the large comment describing the content of the
security_operations structure from security.h. This
wasn't done in the previous (2/7) patch because it
would have exceeded the mail list size limits.

-/**
- * struct security_operations - main security structure
- *
- * Security module identifier.
- *
- * @name:
- *     A string that acts as a unique identifier for the LSM with max number
- *     of characters = SECURITY_NAME_MAX.
- *
- * Security hooks for program execution operations.
- *
- * @bprm_set_creds:
- *     Save security information in the bprm->security field, typically based
- *     on information about the bprm->file, for later use by the apply_creds
- *     hook.  This hook may also optionally check permissions (e.g. for
- *     transitions between security domains).
- *     This hook may be called multiple times during a single execve, e.g. for
- *     interpreters.  The hook can tell whether it has already been called by
- *     checking to see if @bprm->security is non-NULL.  If so, then the hook
- *     may decide either to retain the security information saved earlier or
- *     to replace it.
- *     @bprm contains the linux_binprm structure.
- *     Return 0 if the hook is successful and permission is granted.
- * @bprm_check_security:
- *     This hook mediates the point when a search for a binary handler will
- *     begin.  It allows a check the @bprm->security value which is set in the
- *     preceding set_creds call.  The primary difference from set_creds is
- *     that the argv list and envp list are reliably available in @bprm.  This
- *     hook may be called multiple times during a single execve; and in each
- *     pass set_creds is called first.
- *     @bprm contains the linux_binprm structure.
- *     Return 0 if the hook is successful and permission is granted.
- * @bprm_committing_creds:
- *     Prepare to install the new security attributes of a process being
- *     transformed by an execve operation, based on the old credentials
- *     pointed to by @current->cred and the information set in @bprm->cred by
- *     the bprm_set_creds hook.  @bprm points to the linux_binprm structure.
- *     This hook is a good place to perform state changes on the process such
- *     as closing open file descriptors to which access will no longer be
- *     granted when the attributes are changed.  This is called immediately
- *     before commit_creds().
- * @bprm_committed_creds:
- *     Tidy up after the installation of the new security attributes of a
- *     process being transformed by an execve operation.  The new credentials
- *     have, by this point, been set to @current->cred.  @bprm points to the
- *     linux_binprm structure.  This hook is a good place to perform state
- *     changes on the process such as clearing out non-inheritable signal
- *     state.  This is called immediately after commit_creds().
- * @bprm_secureexec:
- *     Return a boolean value (0 or 1) indicating whether a "secure exec"
- *     is required.  The flag is passed in the auxiliary table
- *     on the initial stack to the ELF interpreter to indicate whether libc
- *     should enable secure mode.
- *     @bprm contains the linux_binprm structure.
- *
- * Security hooks for filesystem operations.
- *
- * @sb_alloc_security:
- *     Allocate and attach a security structure to the sb->s_security field.
- *     The s_security field is initialized to NULL when the structure is
- *     allocated.
- *     @sb contains the super_block structure to be modified.
- *     Return 0 if operation was successful.
- * @sb_free_security:
- *     Deallocate and clear the sb->s_security field.
- *     @sb contains the super_block structure to be modified.
- * @sb_statfs:
- *     Check permission before obtaining filesystem statistics for the @mnt
- *     mountpoint.
- *     @dentry is a handle on the superblock for the filesystem.
- *     Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @sb_mount:
- *     Check permission before an object specified by @dev_name is mounted on
- *     the mount point named by @nd.  For an ordinary mount, @dev_name
- *     identifies a device if the file system type requires a device.  For a
- *     remount (@flags & MS_REMOUNT), @dev_name is irrelevant.  For a
- *     loopback/bind mount (@flags & MS_BIND), @dev_name identifies the
- *     pathname of the object being mounted.
- *     @dev_name contains the name for object being mounted.
- *     @path contains the path for mount point object.
- *     @type contains the filesystem type.
- *     @flags contains the mount flags.
- *     @data contains the filesystem-specific data.
- *     Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @sb_copy_data:
- *     Allow mount option data to be copied prior to parsing by the filesystem,
- *     so that the security module can extract security-specific mount
- *     options cleanly (a filesystem may modify the data e.g. with strsep()).
- *     This also allows the original mount data to be stripped of security-
- *     specific options to avoid having to make filesystems aware of them.
- *     @type the type of filesystem being mounted.
- *     @orig the original mount data copied from userspace.
- *     @copy copied data which will be passed to the security module.
- *     Returns 0 if the copy was successful.
- * @sb_remount:
- *     Extracts security system specific mount options and verifies no changes
- *     are being made to those options.
- *     @sb superblock being remounted
- *     @data contains the filesystem-specific data.
- *     Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @sb_umount:
- *     Check permission before the @mnt file system is unmounted.
- *     @mnt contains the mounted file system.
- *     @flags contains the unmount flags, e.g. MNT_FORCE.
- *     Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @sb_pivotroot:
- *     Check permission before pivoting the root filesystem.
- *     @old_path contains the path for the new location of the current root 
(put_old).
- *     @new_path contains the path for the new root (new_root).
- *     Return 0 if permission is granted.

- *     Set the security relevant mount options used for a superblock
- *     @sb the superblock to set security mount options for
- *     @opts binary data structure containing all lsm mount data
- * @sb_clone_mnt_opts:
- *     Copy all security options from a given superblock to another
- *     @oldsb old superblock which contain information to clone
- *     @newsb new superblock which needs filled in
- * @sb_parse_opts_str:
- *     Parse a string of security data filling in the opts structure
- *     @options string containing all mount options known by the LSM
- *     @opts binary data structure usable by the LSM
- * @dentry_init_security:
- *     Compute a context for a dentry as the inode is not yet available
- *     since NFSv4 has no label backed by an EA anyway.
- *     @dentry dentry to use in calculating the context.
- *     @mode mode used to determine resource type.
- *     @name name of the last path component used to create file
- *     @ctx pointer to place the pointer to the resulting context in.
- *     @ctxlen point to place the length of the resulting context.
- *
- *
- * Security hooks for inode operations.
- *
- * @inode_alloc_security:
- *     Allocate and attach a security structure to @inode->i_security.  The
- *     i_security field is initialized to NULL when the inode structure is
- *     allocated.
- *     @inode contains the inode structure.
- *     Return 0 if operation was successful.
- * @inode_free_security:
- *     @inode contains the inode structure.

- *     created inode and set up the incore security field for the new inode.
- *     This hook is called by the fs code as part of the inode creation
- *     transaction and provides for atomic labeling of the inode, unlike
- *     the post_create/mkdir/... hooks called by the VFS.  The hook function
- *     is expected to allocate the name and value via kmalloc, with the caller
- *     being responsible for calling kfree after using them.
- *     If the security module does not use security attributes or does

- *     @len will be set to the length of the value.
- *     Returns 0 if @name and @value have been successfully set,

- * @inode_mknod:
- *     Check permissions when creating a special file (or a socket or a fifo
- *     file created via the mknod system call).  Note that if mknod operation
- *     is being done for a regular file, then the create hook will be called
- *     and not this hook.

- *     value via the buffer or just the value length Return size of buffer on
- *     success.
- * @inode_setsecurity:
- *     Set the security label associated with @name for @inode from the
- *     extended attribute value @value.  @size indicates the size of the
- *     @value in bytes.  @flags may be XATTR_CREATE, XATTR_REPLACE, or 0.
- *     Note that @name is the remainder of the attribute name after the
- *     security. prefix has been removed.
- *     Return 0 on success.
- * @inode_listsecurity:
- *     Copy the extended attribute names for the security labels
- *     associated with @inode into @buffer.  The maximum size of @buffer
- *     is specified by @buffer_size.  @buffer may be NULL to request
- *     the size of the buffer required.
- *     Returns number of bytes used/required on success.
- * @inode_need_killpriv:
- *     Called when an inode has been changed.
- *     @dentry is the dentry being changed.
- *     Return <0 on error to abort the inode change operation.

- * @inode_getsecid:
- *     Get the secid associated with the node.
- *     @inode contains a pointer to the inode.

- *
- * Security hooks for file operations
- *
- * @file_permission:
- *     Check file permissions before accessing an open file.  This hook is
- *     called by various operations that read or write files.  A security
- *     module can use this hook to perform additional checking on these
- *     operations, e.g.  to revalidate permissions on use to support privilege
- *     bracketing or policy changes.  Notice that this hook is used when the
- *     actual read/write operations are performed, whereas the
- *     inode_security_ops hook is called when a file is opened (as well as
- *     many other operations).
- *     Caveat:  Although this hook can be used to revalidate permissions for
- *     various system call operations that read or write files, it does not
- *     address the revalidation of permissions for memory-mapped files.
- *     Security modules must handle this separately if they need such
- *     revalidation.
- *     @file contains the file structure being accessed.
- *     @mask contains the requested permissions.
- *     Return 0 if permission is granted.

- *     @arg contains the operational arguments.
- *     Check permission for an ioctl operation on @file.  Note that @arg
- *     sometimes represents a user space pointer; in other cases, it may be a
- *     simple integer value.  When @arg represents a user space pointer, it
- *     should never be used by the security module.
- *     Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @mmap_addr :
- *     Check permissions for a mmap operation at @addr.
- *     @addr contains virtual address that will be used for the operation.
- *     Return 0 if permission is granted.

- *     @reqprot contains the protection requested by the application.
- *     @prot contains the protection that will be applied by the kernel.

- *     @file contains the file structure.
- *     @cmd contains the posix-translated lock operation to perform
- *     (e.g. F_RDLCK, F_WRLCK).
- *     Return 0 if permission is granted.
- * @file_fcntl:
- *     Check permission before allowing the file operation specified by @cmd
- *     from being performed on the file @file.  Note that @arg sometimes
- *     represents a user space pointer; in other cases, it may be a simple
- *     integer value.  When @arg represents a user space pointer, it should
- *     never be used by the security module.
- *     @file contains the file structure.
- *     @cmd contains the operation to be performed.
- *     @arg contains the operational arguments.

- * sockets in the abstract name space is completely unmediated.  Sufficient
- * control of Unix domain sockets in the abstract name space isn't possible
- * using only the socket layer hooks, since we need to know the actual target
- * socket, which is not looked up until we are inside the af_unix code.

- *     This hook allows the security module to provide peer socket security
- *     state for unix or connected tcp sockets to userspace via getsockopt

- *     This hook allows the security module to provide peer socket security
- *     state for udp sockets on a per-packet basis to userspace via
- *     getsockopt SO_GETPEERSEC.  The application must first have indicated
- *     the IP_PASSSEC option via getsockopt.  It can then retrieve the
