keys: Provide KEYCTL_GRANT_PERMISSION
Provide a keyctl() operation to grant/remove permissions. The grant
operation, wrapped by libkeyutils, looks like:
int ret = keyctl_grant_permission(key_serial_t key,
enum key_ace_subject_type type,
unsigned int subject,
unsigned int perm);
Where key is the key to be modified, type and subject represent the subject
to which permission is to be granted (or removed) and perm is the set of
permissions to be granted. 0 is returned on success. SET_SECURITY
permission is required for this.
The subject type currently must be KEY_ACE_SUBJ_STANDARD for the moment
(other subject types will come along later).
For subject type KEY_ACE_SUBJ_STANDARD, the following subject values are
available:
KEY_ACE_POSSESSOR The possessor of the key
KEY_ACE_OWNER The owner of the key
KEY_ACE_GROUP The key's group
KEY_ACE_EVERYONE Everyone
perm lists the permissions to be granted:
KEY_ACE_VIEW Can view the key metadata
KEY_ACE_READ Can read the key content
KEY_ACE_WRITE Can update/modify the key content
KEY_ACE_SEARCH Can find the key by searching/requesting
KEY_ACE_LINK Can make a link to the key
KEY_ACE_SET_SECURITY Can set security
KEY_ACE_INVAL Can invalidate
KEY_ACE_REVOKE Can revoke
KEY_ACE_JOIN Can join this keyring
KEY_ACE_CLEAR Can clear this keyring
If an ACE already exists for the subject, then the permissions mask will be
overwritten; if perm is 0, it will be deleted.
Currently, the internal ACL is limited to a maximum of 16 entries.
For example:
int ret = keyctl_grant_permission(key,
KEY_ACE_SUBJ_STANDARD,
KEY_ACE_OWNER,
KEY_ACE_VIEW | KEY_ACE_READ);
