Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base
Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base.
It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and
the base is:
commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2
Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

Prepare v4.1.3-rt3
Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We
should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

A copy of this draft can be +found in this directory, consult '00-INDEX' for the filename. While the IETF +draft never made it to an RFC standard it has become a de-facto standard for +labeled networking and is used in many trusted operating systems. + + * Outbound Packet Processing + +The CIPSO/IPv4 protocol engine applies the CIPSO IP option to packets by +adding the CIPSO label to the socket. This causes all packets leaving the +system through the socket to have the CIPSO IP option applied. The socket's +CIPSO label can be changed at any point in time, however, it is recommended +that it is set upon the socket's creation. The LSM can set the socket's CIPSO +label by using the NetLabel security module API; if the NetLabel "domain" is +configured to use CIPSO for packet labeling then a CIPSO IP option will be +generated and attached to the socket. + + * Inbound Packet Processing + +The CIPSO/IPv4 protocol engine validates every CIPSO IP option it finds at the +IP layer without any special handling required by the LSM. However, in order +to decode and translate the CIPSO label on the packet the LSM must use the +NetLabel security module API to extract the security attributes of the packet. +This is typically done at the socket layer using the 'socket_sock_rcv_skb()' +LSM hook. + + * Label Translation + +The CIPSO/IPv4 protocol engine contains a mechanism to translate CIPSO security +attributes such as sensitivity level and category to values which are +appropriate for the host. These mappings are defined as part of a CIPSO +Domain Of Interpretation (DOI) definition and are configured through the +NetLabel user space communication layer. Each DOI definition can have a +different security attribute mapping table. + + * Label Translation Cache + +The NetLabel system provides a framework for caching security attribute +mappings from the network labels to the corresponding LSM identifiers. The +CIPSO/IPv4 protocol engine supports this caching mechanism. |
