commit 18eb75f3af upstream.
Because Linux credentials are managed per thread, user space relies on
some hack to synchronize credential update across threads from the same
process. This is required by the Native POSIX Threads Library and
implemented by set*id(2) wrappers and libcap(3) to use tgkill(2) to
synchronize threads. See nptl(7) and libpsx(3). Furthermore, some
runtimes like Go do not enable developers to have control over threads
[1].
To avoid potential issues, and because threads are not security
boundaries, let's relax the Landlock (optional) signal scoping to always
allow signals sent between threads of the same process. This exception
is similar to the __ptrace_may_access() one.
hook_file_set_fowner() now checks if the target task is part of the same
process as the caller. If this is the case, then the related signal
triggered by the socket will always be allowed.
Scoping of abstract UNIX sockets is not changed because kernel objects
(e.g. sockets) should be tied to their creator's domain at creation
time.
Note that creating one Landlock domain per thread puts each of these
threads (and their future children) in their own scope, which is
probably not what users expect, especially in Go where we do not control
threads. However, being able to drop permissions on all threads should
not be restricted by signal scoping. We are working on a way to make it
possible to atomically restrict all threads of a process with the same
domain [2].
Add erratum for signal scoping.

Currently, a sandbox process is not restricted to sending a signal (e.g.
SIGKILL) to a process outside the sandbox environment. The ability to
send a signal for a sandboxed process should be scoped the same way
abstract UNIX sockets are scoped. Therefore, we extend the "scoped"
field in a ruleset with LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL to specify that a ruleset
will deny sending any signal from within a sandbox process to its parent
(i.e. any parent sandbox or non-sandboxed processes).
This patch adds file_set_fowner and file_free_security hooks to set and
release a pointer to the file owner's domain. This pointer, fown_domain
in landlock_file_security will be used in file_send_sigiotask to check
if the process can send a signal.
The ruleset_with_unknown_scope test is updated to support
LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL.
This depends on two new changes:
- commit 1934b21261 ("file: reclaim 24 bytes from f_owner"): replace
container_of(fown, struct file, f_owner) with fown->file .
- commit 26f204380a ("fs: Fix file_set_fowner LSM hook
inconsistencies"): lock before calling the hook.

ptrace.[ch] are currently only used for the ptrace LSM hooks but their
scope will expand with IPCs and audit support. Rename ptrace.[ch] to
task.[ch], which better reflect their content. Similarly, rename
landlock_add_ptrace_hooks() to landlock_add_task_hooks(). Keep header
files for now.
