Create a system call lsm_get_self_attr() to provide the security
module maintained attributes of the current process.
Create a system call lsm_set_self_attr() to set a security
module maintained attribute of the current process.
Historically these attributes have been exposed to user space via
entries in procfs under /proc/self/attr.

The attribute value is provided in a lsm_ctx structure. The structure
identifies the size of the attribute, and the attribute value. The format
of the attribute value is defined by the security module. A flags field
is included for LSM specific information. It is currently unused and must
be 0. The total size of the data, including the lsm_ctx structure and any
padding, is maintained as well.

struct lsm_ctx {
        __u64 id;
        __u64 flags;
        __u64 len;
        __u64 ctx_len;
        __u8 ctx[];
};

Two new LSM hooks are used to interface with the LSMs.
security_getselfattr() collects the lsm_ctx values from the
LSMs that support the hook, accounting for space requirements.
security_setselfattr() identifies which LSM the attribute is
intended for and passes it along.

I'm not sure if we should return -EINVAL or -EFAULT when uctx == NULL.
Because uctx is optional (when LSM_FLAG_SINGLE is not set), I guess
-EINVAL is OK.

There is a bug if rc == -E2BIG

That's a good point, we should probably the error codes here: if uctx
is NULL in the LSM_FLAG_SINGLE case we should return -EINVAL, if the
copy_from_user() fails we should return -EFAULT.

Can you elaborate a bit more on this? Nothing is jumping out at me as
obviously broken... are you talking about @count becoming garbage due
to @rc being equal to -E2BIG?  If that is the case it should be okay
since we explicitly return -E2BIG, not @count, if @toobig is true.

Indeed, in this case count will not be returned thanks to toobig. I'd
suggest to "continue" if rc == -E2BIG (like for -EOPNOTSUPP) to avoid an
inconsistent count value, which could bite us one day.

Okay, how about we reset @rc to zero in the -E2BIG case?  We don't
want to bypass the lower part of the loop in this case as we still
need to update @total.

  if (rc == -E2BIG) {
    rc = 0;
    left = 0;
    toobig = true;
  }

Indeed, this is better.

To avoid useless calls to getselfattr hooks, we could also patch the
last part of the loop:
-		if (single)
+		if (single || left <= 0)
 			break;

They aren't useless calls, we keep calling into the LSMs so that we
can return a buffer size hint in the @size parameter when the getattr
syscall returns -E2BIG.

+Linux Security Modules
+=====================================
+
+:Author: Casey Schaufler
+:Date: July 2023
+
+Linux security modules (LSM) provide a mechanism to implement
+additional access controls to the Linux security policies.
+
+The various security modules may support any of these attributes:
+
+``LSM_ATTR_CURRENT`` is the current, active security context of the
+process.
+The proc filesystem provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/current``.
+This is supported by the SELinux, Smack and AppArmor security modules.
+Smack also provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/smack/current``.
+AppArmor also provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/apparmor/current``.
+
+``LSM_ATTR_EXEC`` is the security context of the process at the time the
+current image was executed.
+The proc filesystem provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/exec``.
+This is supported by the SELinux and AppArmor security modules.
+AppArmor also provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/apparmor/exec``.
+
+``LSM_ATTR_FSCREATE`` is the security context of the process used when
+creating file system objects.
+The proc filesystem provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/fscreate``.
+This is supported by the SELinux security module.
+
+``LSM_ATTR_KEYCREATE`` is the security context of the process used when
+creating key objects.
+The proc filesystem provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/keycreate``.
+This is supported by the SELinux security module.
+
+``LSM_ATTR_PREV`` is the security context of the process at the time the
+current security context was set.
+The proc filesystem provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/prev``.
+This is supported by the SELinux and AppArmor security modules.
+AppArmor also provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/apparmor/prev``.
+
+``LSM_ATTR_SOCKCREATE`` is the security context of the process used when
+creating socket objects.
+The proc filesystem provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/sockcreate``.
+This is supported by the SELinux security module.
