landlock_create_ruleset(2) System Calls Manual landlock_create_ruleset(2)
landlock_create_ruleset - create a new Landlock ruleset
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
#include <linux/landlock.h> /* Definition of LANDLOCK_* constants */
#include <sys/syscall.h> /* Definition of SYS_* constants */
#include <unistd.h>
int syscall(SYS_landlock_create_ruleset,
const struct landlock_ruleset_attr *attr,
size_t size , uint32_t flags);
A Landlock ruleset identifies a set of rules (i.e., actions on
objects). This landlock_create_ruleset() system call creates a
new file descriptor which identifies a ruleset. This file
descriptor can then be used by landlock_add_rule(2) and
landlock_restrict_self(2). See landlock(7) for a global overview.
attr specifies the properties of the new ruleset. It points to
the following structure:
struct landlock_ruleset_attr {
__u64 handled_access_fs;
__u64 handled_access_net;
};
handled_access_fs is a bitmask of handled filesystem
actions (see Filesystem actions in landlock(7)).
handled_access_net is a bitmask of handled network actions
(see Network actions in landlock(7)).
This structure defines a set of handled access rights, a
set of actions on different object types, which should be
denied by default when the ruleset is enacted. Vice versa,
access rights that are not specifically listed here are not
going to be denied by this ruleset when it is enacted.
For historical reasons, the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER right
is always denied by default, even when its bit is not set
in handled_access_fs. In order to add new rules with this
access right, the bit must still be set explicitly (see
Filesystem actions in landlock(7)).
The explicit listing of handled access rights is required
for backwards compatibility reasons. In most use cases,
processes that use Landlock will handle a wide range or all
access rights that they know about at build time (and that
they have tested with a kernel that supported them all).
This structure can grow in future Landlock versions.
size must be specified as sizeof(struct landlock_ruleset_attr) for
compatibility reasons.
flags must be 0 if attr is used. Otherwise, flags can be set to:
LANDLOCK_CREATE_RULESET_VERSION
If attr is NULL and size is 0, then the returned value is
the highest supported Landlock ABI version (starting at 1).
This version can be used for a best-effort security
approach, which is encouraged when user space is not pinned
to a specific kernel version. All features documented in
these man pages are available with the version 1.
On success, landlock_create_ruleset() returns a new Landlock
ruleset file descriptor, or a Landlock ABI version, according to
flags. On error, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the
error.
landlock_create_ruleset() can fail for the following reasons:
EOPNOTSUPP
Landlock is supported by the kernel but disabled at boot
time.
EINVAL Unknown flags, or unknown access, or too small size.
E2BIG size is too big.
EFAULT attr was not a valid address.
ENOMSG Empty accesses (i.e., attr did not specify any access
rights to restrict).
Linux.
Linux 5.13.
