securityfs is meant for linux security subsystems to expose policies/logs
or any other information. However, there are various firmware security
features which expose their variables for user management via kernel.
There is currently no single place to expose these variables. Different
platforms use sysfs/platform specific filesystem(efivarfs)/securityfs
interface as find appropriate. Thus, there is a gap in kernel interfaces
to expose variables for security features.

Define a firmware security filesystem (fwsecurityfs) to be used for
exposing variables managed by firmware and to be used by firmware
enabled security features. These variables are platform specific.
Filesystem provides platforms to implement their own underlying
semantics by defining own inode and file operations.

Similar to securityfs, the firmware security filesystem is recommended
to be exposed on a well known mount point /sys/firmware/security.
Platforms can define their own directory or file structure under this path.

Example:

# mount -t fwsecurityfs fwsecurityfs /sys/firmware/security

# cd /sys/firmware/security/

Why not put the firmware entries under /sys/kernel/security/firmware?

 From man 5 sysfs page:

/sys/firmware: This subdirectory contains interfaces for viewing and 
manipulating firmware-specific objects and attributes.

/sys/kernel: This subdirectory contains various files and subdirectories 
that provide information about the running kernel.

The security variables which are supposed to be exposed via fwsecurityfs 
are managed by firmware, stored in firmware managed space and also often 
consumed by firmware for enabling various security features.

 From git commit b67dbf9d4c1987c370fd18fdc4cf9d8aaea604c2, the purpose 
of securityfs(/sys/kernel/security) is to provide a common place for all 
kernel LSMs to use a common place. The idea of 
fwsecurityfs(/sys/firmware/security) is to similarly provide a common 
place for all firmware security objects.

By having another firmware directory within /sys/kernel/security would 
mean scattering firmware objects at multiple places and confusing the 
purpose of /sys/kernel and /sys/firmware.

Thanks & Regards,

Did you forget to call simple_pin_fs() here or anywhere else?

And this can be just one function with the directory creation file, just
check the mode and you will be fine.  Look at securityfs as an example
of how to make this simpler.

super.c and inode.c can be in the same file, these are tiny, just make
one file for the filesystem logic.

Actually, before you go down this route can you consider the namespace
ramifications.  In fact we're just having to rework securityfs to pull
out all the simple_pin_... calls because simple_pin_... is completely
inimical to namespaces.

The first thing to consider is if you simply use securityfs you'll
inherit all the simple_pin_... removal work and be namespace ready.  It
could be that creating a new filesystem that can't be namespaced is the
right thing to do here, but at least ask the question: would we ever
want any of these files to be presented selectively inside containers? 
If the answer is "yes" then simple_pin_... is the wrong interface.

Greg, the securityfs changes James is referring to are part of the IMA
namespacing patch set:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/20220420140633.753772-1-stefanb@linux.ibm.com/

I'd really appreciate your reviewing the first two patches:
[PATCH v12 01/26] securityfs: rework dentry creation
[PATCH v12 02/26] securityfs: Extend securityfs with namespacing
support

thanks,

Mimi

Looks like others have already reviewed them, they seem sane to me if
they past testing.

I described this at length in the securityfs namespacing thread at
various points. simple_pin_*() should be avoided if possible. Ideally
the filesystem will just be cleaned up on umount. There might be a
reason to make it survive umounts if you have state that stays around
and somehow is intimately tied to that filesystem.

Thanks for taking a look.
