Until now, whether a denial is logged was decided inside
landlock_audit_denial(): a per-execution flag check (log_same_exec or
log_new_exec, selected by the credential's domain_exec bitmask),
preceded by a LANDLOCK_LOG_DISABLED early return in
landlock_log_denial() for domains an ancestor fully quieted.
Factor that decision into a single is_denial_logged() helper called once
by landlock_log_denial(), and pass its result to landlock_audit_denial()
as a "logged" boolean. A following commit passes the same boolean to
the deny tracepoints, so audit and tracing share one decision that stays
correct as new log state is added, and a tracepoints-only build
(CONFIG_AUDIT=n) computes it identically. Computing the logged verdict
once in the shared helper makes audit and tracing apply identical
filtering, so they cannot report different logged= values for the same
denial as log controls grow.
Move the LANDLOCK_LOG_DISABLED gate out of landlock_log_denial() into
the decision so num_denials counts every denial, including those a
domain quiets. This was previously masked: the only reader of
num_denials is the audit "domain deallocated" record, emitted only for
domains that reached LANDLOCK_LOG_RECORDED; a fully quieted domain never
records, so its undercount was never observable. A following commit
adds a free_domain tracepoint that reports num_denials, which needs the
full count.
This is not a functional change for audit: the logged decision and the
audit_enabled gate are preserved, so the emitted records are identical.

Tracepoint emission requires the denial framework (layer identification,
request validation) without depending on CONFIG_AUDIT. Separate the
denial logging infrastructure from the audit-specific code by
introducing a common log framework.
Create CONFIG_SECURITY_LANDLOCK_LOG, enabled by default when
CONFIG_AUDIT is set; a following commit extends it to CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS
when the first tracepoint consumer is added. Move the common framework
(the request types, the layer identification and request validation, and
the landlock_log_denial() and landlock_log_free_domain() entry points)
into log.c and log.h, and keep the audit-specific record formatting in
audit.c. log.o is built for CONFIG_SECURITY_LANDLOCK_LOG and audit.o for
CONFIG_AUDIT, so the common framework is available to a tracepoints-only
build. The entry points dispatch to no-op static inline audit stubs
without CONFIG_AUDIT, so the call sites stay unconditional. Rename the
former landlock_log_drop_domain() to landlock_log_free_domain() to match
the landlock_free_domain tracepoint added in a following commit.
landlock_log_denial() counts denials even without audit, so its
declaration and no-op stub are guarded by CONFIG_SECURITY_LANDLOCK_LOG,
not CONFIG_AUDIT; a CONFIG_AUDIT guard would expose the stub and clash
with log.c's definition in a tracepoints-only build.
Widen the ID allocation (id.o and the landlock_init_id() /
landlock_get_id_range() declarations) and the log-state representation
(the domain_exec and log_subdomains_off credential fields, the
landlock_hierarchy log fields, and the code that maintains them) from
CONFIG_AUDIT to CONFIG_SECURITY_LANDLOCK_LOG, so each field and its
writer share one guard and are available to tracing without audit
support.
Widen the denial-path state that feeds the per-denial logging decision
the same way, so the "logged" verdict is computed identically whether or
not CONFIG_AUDIT is set. Widening fown_layer is what keeps the
file-owner-signal path valid without audit: otherwise
hook_file_send_sigiotask() would leave layer_plus_one at zero, tripping
the is_valid_request() canary and dropping the LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL
denial from tracing.
The ruleset-level quiet_masks stays on no CONFIG guard: it is builder
state validated and stored from user input, kept available so
LANDLOCK_ADD_RULE_QUIET flags are accepted and ignored, not rejected,
when CONFIG_SECURITY_LANDLOCK_LOG is disabled.

Switch all domain users to the new struct landlock_domain type
introduced by a previous commit, eliminating the conflation between
mutable rulesets and immutable domains. landlock_merge_ruleset() now
returns and allocates a struct landlock_domain, and the merge and
inherit helpers move next to it; the former static insert_rule() is
exported as landlock_store_rule() for its new caller across the
translation-unit boundary.
The merge destination is now a private struct landlock_domain still
under construction (owned by the calling thread, not yet shared), so the
merge and inherit helpers lock only the source ruleset: the previous
lock of both destination and source collapses to a single
mutex_lock(&src->lock).
Rename the per-layer access-mask field from access_masks to
handled_masks, naming it by the role it plays (the rights each layer
handles) rather than by its type, paralleling the struct access_masks
quiet_masks field. Drop the now domain-only fields (hierarchy,
work_free, num_layers) from struct landlock_ruleset.
The new struct landlock_domain field in cred.h pulls in domain.h, which
includes audit.h, which previously included cred.h, forming an include
cycle. Break it by having audit.h forward-declare the struct
landlock_cred_security and struct landlock_hierarchy it uses instead of
including cred.h.

The quietness behaviour is as documented in the previous patch.
For optional accesses, since the existing deny_masks can only store
2x4bit of layer index, with no way to represent "no layer", we need to
either expand it or have another field to correctly handle quieting of
those. This commit uses the latter approach - we add another field to
store which optional access (of the 2) are covered by quiet rules in
their respective layers as stored in deny_masks.

To avoid unnecessarily increasing the size of struct landlock_layer, we
make the layer level a u8 and use the space to store the flags struct.
struct layer_access_masks is renamed to struct layer_masks, and a new
field is added to track whether a quiet flag rule is seen for each
layer. Through use of bitfields, this does not increase the size of the
struct.

The layer masks data structure tracks the requested but unfulfilled
access rights during an operation's security check. It stores one bit
for each combination of access right and layer index. If the bit is
set, that access right is not granted (yet) in the given layer and we
have to traverse the path further upwards to grant it.
Previously, the layer masks were stored as arrays mapping from access
right indices to layer_mask_t. The layer_mask_t value then indicates
all layers in which the given access right is still (tentatively)
denied.
This patch introduces struct layer_access_masks instead: This struct
contains an array with the access_mask_t of each (tentatively) denied
access right in that layer.
The hypothesis of this patch is that this simplifies the code enough
so that the resulting code will run faster:
* We can use bitwise operations in multiple places where we previously
looped over bits individually with macros. (Should require less
branch speculation and lends itself to better loop unrolling.)
* Code is ~75 lines smaller.
Other noteworthy changes:
* In no_more_access(), call a new helper function may_refer(), which
only solves the asymmetric case. Previously, the code interleaved
the checks for the two symmetric cases in RENAME_EXCHANGE. It feels
that the code is clearer when renames without RENAME_EXCHANGE are
more obviously the normal case.
Tradeoffs:
This change improves performance, at a slight size increase to the
layer masks data structure.
This fixes the size of the data structure at 32 bytes for all types of
access rights. (64, once we introduce a 17th filesystem access right).
For filesystem access rights, at the moment, the data structure has
the same size as before, but once we introduce the 17th filesystem
access right, it will double in size (from 32 to 64 bytes), as
access_mask_t grows from 16 to 32 bit [1].

Add audit support to the file_truncate and file_ioctl hooks.
Add a deny_masks_t type and related helpers to store the domain's layer
level per optional access rights (i.e. LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE and
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_IOCTL_DEV) when opening a file, which cannot be
inferred later. In practice, the landlock_file_security aligned blob size is
still 16 bytes because this new one-byte deny_masks field follows the
existing two-bytes allowed_access field and precede the packed
fown_subject.
Implementing deny_masks_t with a bitfield instead of a struct enables a
generic implementation to store and extract layer levels.
Add KUnit tests to check the identification of a layer level from a
deny_masks_t, and the computation of a deny_masks_t from an access right
with its layer level or a layer_mask_t array.

Asynchronously log domain information when it first denies an access.
This minimize the amount of generated logs, which makes it possible to
always log denials for the current execution since they should not
happen. These records are identified with the new AUDIT_LANDLOCK_DOMAIN
type.
The AUDIT_LANDLOCK_DOMAIN message contains:
- the "domain" ID which is described;
- the "status" which can either be "allocated" or "deallocated";
- the "mode" which is for now only "enforcing";
- for the "allocated" status, a minimal set of properties to easily
identify the task that loaded the domain's policy with
landlock_restrict_self(2): "pid", "uid", executable path ("exe"), and
command line ("comm");
- for the "deallocated" state, the number of "denials" accounted to this
domain, which is at least 1.
This requires each domain to save these task properties at creation
time in the new struct landlock_details. A reference to the PID is kept
for the lifetime of the domain to avoid race conditions when
investigating the related task. The executable path is resolved and
stored to not keep a reference to the filesystem and block related
actions. All these metadata are stored for the lifetime of the related
domain and should then be minimal. The required memory is not accounted
to the task calling landlock_restrict_self(2) contrary to most other
Landlock allocations (see related comment).
The AUDIT_LANDLOCK_DOMAIN record follows the first AUDIT_LANDLOCK_ACCESS
record for the same domain, which is always followed by AUDIT_SYSCALL
and AUDIT_PROCTITLE. This is in line with the audit logic to first
record the cause of an event, and then add context with other types of
record.
Audit event sample for a first denial:
type=LANDLOCK_ACCESS msg=audit(1732186800.349:44): domain=195ba459b blockers=ptrace opid=1 ocomm="systemd"
type=LANDLOCK_DOMAIN msg=audit(1732186800.349:44): domain=195ba459b status=allocated mode=enforcing pid=300 uid=0 exe="/root/sandboxer" comm="sandboxer"
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1732186800.349:44): arch=c000003e syscall=101 success=no [...] pid=300 auid=0
Audit event sample for a following denial:
type=LANDLOCK_ACCESS msg=audit(1732186800.372:45): domain=195ba459b blockers=ptrace opid=1 ocomm="systemd"
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1732186800.372:45): arch=c000003e syscall=101 success=no [...] pid=300 auid=0
Log domain deletion with the "deallocated" state when a domain was
previously logged. This makes it possible for log parsers to free
potential resources when a domain ID will never show again.
The number of denied access requests is useful to easily check how many
access requests a domain blocked and potentially if some of them are
missing in logs because of audit rate limiting, audit rules, or Landlock
log configuration flags (see following commit).

Add a new AUDIT_LANDLOCK_ACCESS record type dedicated to an access
request denied by a Landlock domain. AUDIT_LANDLOCK_ACCESS indicates
that something unexpected happened.
For now, only denied access are logged, which means that any
AUDIT_LANDLOCK_ACCESS record is always followed by a SYSCALL record with
"success=no". However, log parsers should check this syscall property
because this is the only sign that a request was denied. Indeed, we
could have "success=yes" if Landlock would support a "permissive" mode.
We could also add a new field to AUDIT_LANDLOCK_DOMAIN for this mode
(see following commit).
By default, the only logged access requests are those coming from the
same executed program that enforced the Landlock restriction on itself.
In other words, no audit record are created for a task after it called
execve(2). This is required to avoid log spam because programs may only
be aware of their own restrictions, but not the inherited ones.
Following commits will allow to conditionally generate
AUDIT_LANDLOCK_ACCESS records according to dedicated
landlock_restrict_self(2)'s flags.
The AUDIT_LANDLOCK_ACCESS message contains:
- the "domain" ID restricting the action on an object,
- the "blockers" that are missing to allow the requested access,
- a set of fields identifying the related object (e.g. task identified
with "opid" and "ocomm").
The blockers are implicit restrictions (e.g. ptrace), or explicit access
rights (e.g. filesystem), or explicit scopes (e.g. signal). This field
contains a list of at least one element, each separated with a comma.
The initial blocker is "ptrace", which describe all implicit Landlock
restrictions related to ptrace (e.g. deny tracing of tasks outside a
sandbox).
Add audit support to ptrace_access_check and ptrace_traceme hooks. For
the ptrace_access_check case, we log the current/parent domain and the
child task. For the ptrace_traceme case, we log the parent domain and
the current/child task. Indeed, the requester and the target are the
current task, but the action would be performed by the parent task.
Audit event sample:
type=LANDLOCK_ACCESS msg=audit(1729738800.349:44): domain=195ba459b blockers=ptrace opid=1 ocomm="systemd"
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1729738800.349:44): arch=c000003e syscall=101 success=no [...] pid=300 auid=0
A following commit adds user documentation.
Add KUnit tests to check reading of domain ID relative to layer level.
The quick return for non-landlocked tasks is moved from task_ptrace() to
each LSM hooks.
It is not useful to inline the audit_enabled check because other
computation are performed by landlock_log_denial().
Use scoped guards for RCU read-side critical sections.
