9config SECURITY_DMESG_RESTRICT
10	bool "Restrict unprivileged access to the kernel syslog"
11	default n
12	help
13	  This enforces restrictions on unprivileged users reading the kernel
14	  syslog via dmesg(8).
15
16	  If this option is not selected, no restrictions will be enforced
17	  unless the dmesg_restrict sysctl is explicitly set to (1).
18
19	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
20
21config SECURITY_PERF_EVENTS_RESTRICT
22	bool "Restrict unprivileged use of performance events"
23	depends on PERF_EVENTS
24	help
25	  If you say Y here, the kernel.perf_event_paranoid sysctl
26	  will be set to 3 by default, and no unprivileged use of the
27	  perf_event_open syscall will be permitted unless it is
28	  changed.
29
30config SECURITY
31	bool "Enable different security models"
32	depends on SYSFS
33	depends on MULTIUSER
34	help
35	  This allows you to choose different security modules to be
36	  configured into your kernel.
37
38	  If this option is not selected, the default Linux security
39	  model will be used.
40
41	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
42
43config PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION
44	bool "Remove the kernel mapping in user mode"
45	default y
46	depends on X86_64 && SMP
47	help
48	  This enforces a strict kernel and user space isolation, in order
49	  to close hardware side channels on kernel address information.
50
51	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer Y.
52
53config SECURITYFS
54	bool "Enable the securityfs filesystem"
55	help
56	  This will build the securityfs filesystem.  It is currently used by
57	  the TPM bios character driver and IMA, an integrity provider.  It is
58	  not used by SELinux or SMACK.
59
60	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
61
62config SECURITY_NETWORK
63	bool "Socket and Networking Security Hooks"
64	depends on SECURITY
65	help
66	  This enables the socket and networking security hooks.
67	  If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
68	  implement socket and networking access controls.
69	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
70
71config SECURITY_NETWORK_XFRM
72	bool "XFRM (IPSec) Networking Security Hooks"
73	depends on XFRM && SECURITY_NETWORK
74	help
75	  This enables the XFRM (IPSec) networking security hooks.
76	  If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
77	  implement per-packet access controls based on labels
78	  derived from IPSec policy.  Non-IPSec communications are
79	  designated as unlabelled, and only sockets authorized
80	  to communicate unlabelled data can send without using
81	  IPSec.
82	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
83
84config SECURITY_PATH
85	bool "Security hooks for pathname based access control"
86	depends on SECURITY
87	help
88	  This enables the security hooks for pathname based access control.
89	  If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
90	  implement pathname based access controls.
91	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
92
93config INTEL_TXT
94	bool "Enable Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT)"
95	depends on HAVE_INTEL_TXT
96	help
97	  This option enables support for booting the kernel with the
98	  Trusted Boot (tboot) module. This will utilize
99	  Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology to perform a measured launch
100	  of the kernel. If the system does not support Intel(R) TXT, this
101	  will have no effect.
102
103	  Intel TXT will provide higher assurance of system configuration and
104	  initial state as well as data reset protection.  This is used to
105	  create a robust initial kernel measurement and verification, which
106	  helps to ensure that kernel security mechanisms are functioning
107	  correctly. This level of protection requires a root of trust outside
108	  of the kernel itself.
109
110	  Intel TXT also helps solve real end user concerns about having
111	  confidence that their hardware is running the VMM or kernel that
112	  it was configured with, especially since they may be responsible for
113	  providing such assurances to VMs and services running on it.
114
115	  See <http://www.intel.com/technology/security/> for more information
116	  about Intel(R) TXT.
117	  See <http://tboot.sourceforge.net> for more information about tboot.
118	  See Documentation/intel_txt.txt for a description of how to enable
119	  Intel TXT support in a kernel boot.
120
121	  If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.
122
123config LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR
124	int "Low address space for LSM to protect from user allocation"
125	depends on SECURITY && SECURITY_SELINUX
126	default 32768 if ARM || (ARM64 && COMPAT)
127	default 65536
128	help
129	  This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected
130	  from userspace allocation.  Keeping a user from writing to low pages
131	  can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs.
132
133	  For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space
134	  a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems.
135	  On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768.
136	  Programs which use vm86 functionality or have some need to map
137	  this low address space will need the permission specific to the
138	  systems running LSM.
139
140config HAVE_HARDENED_USERCOPY_ALLOCATOR
141	bool
142	help
143	  The heap allocator implements __check_heap_object() for
144	  validating memory ranges against heap object sizes in
145	  support of CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY.
146
147config HAVE_ARCH_HARDENED_USERCOPY
148	bool
149	help
150	  The architecture supports CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY by
151	  calling check_object_size() just before performing the
152	  userspace copies in the low level implementation of
153	  copy_to_user() and copy_from_user().
154
155config HARDENED_USERCOPY
156	bool "Harden memory copies between kernel and userspace"
157	depends on HAVE_ARCH_HARDENED_USERCOPY
158	depends on HAVE_HARDENED_USERCOPY_ALLOCATOR
159	select BUG
160	help
161	  This option checks for obviously wrong memory regions when
162	  copying memory to/from the kernel (via copy_to_user() and
163	  copy_from_user() functions) by rejecting memory ranges that
164	  are larger than the specified heap object, span multiple
165	  separately allocates pages, are not on the process stack,
166	  or are part of the kernel text. This kills entire classes
167	  of heap overflow exploits and similar kernel memory exposures.
168
169config HARDENED_USERCOPY_PAGESPAN
170	bool "Refuse to copy allocations that span multiple pages"
171	depends on HARDENED_USERCOPY
172	depends on !COMPILE_TEST
173	help
174	  When a multi-page allocation is done without __GFP_COMP,
175	  hardened usercopy will reject attempts to copy it. There are,
176	  however, several cases of this in the kernel that have not all
177	  been removed. This config is intended to be used only while
178	  trying to find such users.
