Ondrej Mosnacek c52d9c25d9 fs: don't audit the capability check in simple_xattr_list()
[ Upstream commit e7eda157c4 ]

The check being unconditional may lead to unwanted denials reported by
LSMs when a process has the capability granted by DAC, but denied by an
LSM. In the case of SELinux such denials are a problem, since they can't
be effectively filtered out via the policy and when not silenced, they
produce noise that may hide a true problem or an attack.

Checking for the capability only if any trusted xattr is actually
present wouldn't really address the issue, since calling listxattr(2) on
such node on its own doesn't indicate an explicit attempt to see the
trusted xattrs. Additionally, it could potentially leak the presence of
trusted xattrs to an unprivileged user if they can check for the denials
(e.g. through dmesg).

Therefore, it's best (and simplest) to keep the check unconditional and
instead use ns_capable_noaudit() that will silence any associated LSM
denials.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
