On Linux, the 'security.capability' xattr holds a set of
capabilities that can change when an executable is run, giving
a limited form of privilege escalation to those programs that
the writer of the file deemed worthy.
Any write causes the 'security.capability' xattr to be dropped,
stopping anyone from gaining privilege by modifying a blessed
file.
Fuse relies on the daemon to do this dropping, and in turn the
daemon relies on the host kernel to drop the xattr for it. However,
with the addition of -o xattrmap, the xattr that the guest
stores its capabilities in is now not the same as the one that
the host kernel automatically clears.
Where the mapping changes 'security.capability', explicitly clear
the remapped name to preserve the same behaviour.
This bug is assigned CVE-2021-20263.

The mapping rule system implemented in the last few patches is
extremely flexible, but not easy to use. Add a simple
'map' type as a sprinkling of sugar to make it easy.
e.g.
-o xattrmap=":map::user.virtiofs.:"
would be sufficient to prefix all xattr's
or
-o xattrmap=":map:trusted.:user.virtiofs.:"
would just prefix 'trusted.' xattr's and leave
everything else alone.

Add an option to define mappings of xattr names so that
the client and server filesystems see different views.
This can be used to have different SELinux mappings as
seen by the guest, to run the virtiofsd with less privileges
(e.g. in a case where it can't set trusted/system/security
xattrs but you want the guest to be able to), or to isolate
multiple users of the same name; e.g. trusted attributes
used by stacking overlayfs.
A mapping engine is used with 3 simple rules; the rules can
be combined to allow most useful mapping scenarios.
The ruleset is defined by -o xattrmap='rules...'.
This patch doesn't use the rule maps yet.

virtiofsd cannot run in a container because CAP_SYS_ADMIN is required to
create namespaces.
Introduce a weaker sandbox mode that is sufficient in container
environments because the container runtime already sets up namespaces.
Use chroot to restrict path traversal to the shared directory.
virtiofsd loses the following:
1. Mount namespace. The process chroots to the shared directory but
leaves the mounts in place. Seccomp rejects mount(2)/umount(2)
syscalls.
2. Pid namespace. This should be fine because virtiofsd is the only
process running in the container.
3. Network namespace. This should be fine because seccomp already
rejects the connect(2) syscall, but an additional layer of security
is lost. Container runtime-specific network security policies can be
used drop network traffic (except for the vhost-user UNIX domain
socket).

If you like running QEMU as a normal user (very common for TCG runs)
but you have to run virtiofsd as a root user you run into connection
problems. Adding support for an optional --socket-group allows the
users to keep using the command line.

Right now we enable remote posix locks by default. That means when guest
does a posix lock it sends request to server (virtiofsd). But currently
we only support non-blocking posix lock and return -EOPNOTSUPP for
blocking version.
This means that existing applications which are doing blocking posix
locks get -EOPNOTSUPP and fail. To avoid this, people have been
running virtiosd with option "-o no_posix_lock". For new users it
is still a surprise and trial and error takes them to this option.
Given posix lock implementation is not complete in virtiofsd, disable
it by default. This means that posix locks will work with-in applications
in a guest but not across guests. Anyway we don't support sharing
filesystem among different guests yet in virtiofs so this should
not lead to any kind of surprise or regression and will make life
little easier for virtiofs users.
