mx_job_set_policy

NAME

job_set_policy - Set job security and resource policies.

SYNOPSIS

#include <magenta/syscalls.h>
#include <magenta/syscalls/policy.h>

mx_status_t mx_job_set_policy(mx_handle_t job_handle, uint32_t options,
                              uint32_t topic, void* policy, size_t count);

DESCRIPTION

Sets one or more security and/or resource policies to an empty job. The job's effective policies is the combination of the parent's effective policies and the policies specified in policy. The effect in the case of conflict between the existing policies and the new policies is controlled by options values:

  • MX_JOB_POL_RELATIVE : policy is applied for the conditions not specifically overridden by the parent policy.
  • MX_JOB_POL_ABSOLUTE : policy is applied for all conditions in policy or the syscall fails.

After this call succeeds any new child process or child job will have the new effective policy applied to it.

topic indicates the policy format. Supported value is MX_JOB_POL_BASIC which indicates that policy is an array of count entries of:

typedef struct mx_policy_basic {
    uint32_t condition;
    uint32_t policy;
} mx_policy_basic_t;

Where condition is one of

  • MX_POL_BAD_HANDLE a process under this job is attempting to issue a syscall with an invalid handle. In this case, MX_POL_ACTION_ALLOW and MX_POL_ACTION_DENY are equivalent: if the syscall returns, it will always return the error MX_ERR_BAD_HANDLE.
  • MX_POL_WRONG_OBJECT a process under this job is attempting to issue a syscall with a handle that does not support such operation.
  • MX_POL_VMAR_WX a process under this job is attempting to map an address region with write-execute access.
  • MX_POL_NEW_VMO a process under this job is attempting to create a new vm object.
  • MX_POL_NEW_CHANNEL a process under this job is attempting to create a new channel.
  • MX_POL_NEW_EVENT a process under this job is attempting to create a new event.
  • MX_POL_NEW_EVPAIR a process under this job is attempting to create a new event pair.
  • MX_POL_NEW_PORT a process under this job is attempting to create a new port.
  • MX_POL_NEW_SOCKET a process under this job is attempting to create a new socket.
  • MX_POL_NEW_FIFO a process under this job is attempting to create a new fifo.
  • MX_POL_NEW_TIMER a process under this job is attempting to create a new timer.
  • MX_POL_NEW_ANY is a special condition that stands for all of the above MX_NEW condtions such as MX_POL_NEW_VMO, MX_POL_NEW_CHANNEL, MX_POL_NEW_EVENT, MX_POL_NEW_EVPAIR, MX_POL_NEW_PORT, MX_POL_NEW_SOCKET, MX_POL_NEW_FIFO, MX_POL_NEW_GUEST, and any future MX_NEW policy. This will include any new kernel objects which do not require a parent object for creation.

Where policy is either

  • MX_POL_ACTION_ALLOW allow condition.
  • MX_POL_ACTION_DENY prevent condition.

Optionally it can be augmented via OR with

  • MX_POL_ACTION_EXCEPTION generate an exception via the debug port. An exception generated this way acts as a breakpoint. The thread may be resumed after the exception.
  • MX_POL_ACTION_KILL terminate the process. It also implies MX_POL_ACTION_DENY.

RETURN VALUE

mx_job_set_policy() returns MX_OK on success. In the event of failure, a negative error value is returned.

ERRORS

MX_ERR_INVALID_ARGS policy was not a valid pointer, or count was 0, or policy was not MX_JOB_POL_RELATIVE or MX_JOB_POL_ABSOLUTE, or topic was not MX_JOB_POL_BASIC.

MX_ERR_BAD_HANDLE job_handle is not valid handle.

MX_ERR_WRONG_TYPE job_handle is not a job handle.

MX_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED job_handle does not have MX_POL_RIGHT_SET right.

MX_ERR_BAD_STATE the job has existing jobs or processes alive.

MX_ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE count is bigger than MX_MAX_POLICY.

MX_ERR_ALREADY_EXISTS existing policy conflicts with the new policy.

MX_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED an entry in policy has an invalid value.

MX_ERR_NO_MEMORY (Temporary) Out of memory condition.
