7 | config KEYS | |
8 | bool "Enable access key retention support" | |
9 | help | |
10 | This option provides support for retaining authentication tokens and | |
11 | access keys in the kernel. | |
12 | ||
13 | It also includes provision of methods by which such keys might be | |
14 | associated with a process so that network filesystems, encryption | |
15 | support and the like can find them. | |
16 | ||
17 | Furthermore, a special type of key is available that acts as keyring: | |
18 | a searchable sequence of keys. Each process is equipped with access | |
19 | to five standard keyrings: UID-specific, GID-specific, session, | |
20 | process and thread. | |
21 | ||
22 | If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N. | |

06ec7be5 ML |
28 | This option turns on support for the /proc/keys file - through which |
29 | can be listed all the keys on the system that are viewable by the | |
30 | reading process. | |
1da177e4 | 31 | |
06ec7be5 ML |
32 | The only keys included in the list are those that grant View |
33 | permission to the reading process whether or not it possesses them. | |
34 | Note that LSM security checks are still performed, and may further | |
35 | filter out keys that the current process is not authorised to view. | |
36 | ||
37 | Only key attributes are listed here; key payloads are not included in | |
38 | the resulting table. | |

40 | If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N. | |

42 | config SECURITY_DMESG_RESTRICT |
43 | bool "Restrict unprivileged access to the kernel syslog" | |

45 | help | |
46 | This enforces restrictions on unprivileged users reading the kernel | |
47 | syslog via dmesg(8). | |
48 | ||
49 | If this option is not selected, no restrictions will be enforced | |
50 | unless the dmesg_restrict sysctl is explicitly set to (1). | |

89 | If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to | |
90 | implement per-packet access controls based on labels | |
91 | derived from IPSec policy. Non-IPSec communications are | |

106 | config INTEL_TXT |
107 | bool "Enable Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT)" | |
69575d38 | 108 | depends on HAVE_INTEL_TXT |
31625340 JC |
109 | help |
110 | This option enables support for booting the kernel with the | |
111 | Trusted Boot (tboot) module. This will utilize | |
112 | Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology to perform a measured launch | |
113 | of the kernel. If the system does not support Intel(R) TXT, this | |
114 | will have no effect. | |
115 | ||
3c556e41 | 116 | Intel TXT will provide higher assurance of system configuration and |
31625340 JC |
117 | initial state as well as data reset protection. This is used to |
118 | create a robust initial kernel measurement and verification, which | |
119 | helps to ensure that kernel security mechanisms are functioning | |
120 | correctly. This level of protection requires a root of trust outside | |
121 | of the kernel itself. | |
122 | ||
123 | Intel TXT also helps solve real end user concerns about having | |
124 | confidence that their hardware is running the VMM or kernel that | |
3c556e41 | 125 | it was configured with, especially since they may be responsible for |
31625340 JC |
126 | providing such assurances to VMs and services running on it. |
127 | ||
128 | See <http://www.intel.com/technology/security/> for more information | |
129 | about Intel(R) TXT. | |
130 | See <http://tboot.sourceforge.net> for more information about tboot. | |
131 | See Documentation/intel_txt.txt for a description of how to enable | |
132 | Intel TXT support in a kernel boot. | |

788084ab | 138 | depends on SECURITY && SECURITY_SELINUX |
a58578e4 | 139 | default 65536 |
788084ab EP |
140 | help |
141 | This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected | |
142 | from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages | |
143 | can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs. | |
144 | ||
145 | For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space | |
146 | a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems. | |
147 | On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768. | |
148 | Programs which use vm86 functionality or have some need to map | |
149 | this low address space will need the permission specific to the | |
150 | systems running LSM. | |
