Corinna Vinschen bc444e5aa4 Reapply POSIX ACL changes.
- New, unified implementation of POSIX permission and ACL handling.  The
    new ACLs now store the POSIX ACL MASK/CLASS_OBJ permission mask, and
    they allow to inherit the S_ISGID bit.  ACL inheritance now really
    works as desired, in a limited, but theoretically equivalent fashion
    even for non-Cygwin processes.

    To accommodate Windows default ACLs, the new code ignores SYSTEM and
    Administrators group permissions when computing the MASK/CLASS_OBJ
    permission mask on old ACLs, and it doesn't deny access to SYSTEM and
    Administrators group based on the value of MASK/CLASS_OBJ when
    creating the new ACLs.

    The new code now handles the S_ISGID bit on directories as on Linux:
    Setting S_ISGID on a directory causes new files and subdirs created
    within to inherit its group, rather than the primary group of the user
    who created the file.  This only works for files and directories
    created by Cygwin processes.

2015-05-29  Corinna Vinschen  <corinna@vinschen.de>

	Reapply POSIX ACL changes.

	* utils.xml (setfacl): Show new option output.
	(getfacl): Show new option output.

	* sec_acl.cc (get_posix_access): Check for Cygwin "standard" ACL.
	Apply umask, if so.  Align comments.
	* security.cc (set_created_file_access): Fix permission masking by
	incoming requested file mode.

	* sec_acl.cc (set_posix_access): Apply mask only in terms of execute bit
	for SYSTEM and Admins group.

	* sec_acl.cc (set_posix_access): Don't create DENY ACEs for USER and
	GROUP entries if they are the same as USER_OBJ or GROUP_OBJ.

	* fhandler.h (fhandler_pty_slave::facl): Add prototype.
	* fhandler_tty.cc (fhandler_pty_slave::facl): New method.
	(fhandler_pty_slave::fchown): Fix uid/gid handling.
	* sec_acl.cc (set_posix_access): Drop superfluous class_idx variable.
	Simplify and move around code in a few places.  To improve ACL
	readability, add r/w permissions to Admins ACE appended to pty ACL.
	Add comment to explain Windows ACE Mask filtering being in the way of
	creating a real CLASS_OBJ.
	(get_posix_access): Fake CLASS_OBJ for ptys.  Explain why.
	* security.cc (get_object_attribute): Add S_IFCHR flag to attributes
	when calling get_posix_access.

	* sec_acl.cc (set_posix_access): Move merging group perms into owner
	perms in case of owner == group after mask has been computed.  Take
	mask into account when doing so to avoid unnecessary ACCESS_DENIED_ACE.

	* sec_acl.cc (get_posix_access): Only set saw_group_obj flag if we saw
	the ACCESS_ALLOWED_ACE.

	* fhandler_disk_file.cc (fhandler_disk_file::fchmod): Deliberatly
	set GROUP_OBJ and CLASS_OBJ perms to new group perms.  Add comment
	to explain why.
	* security.cc (set_created_file_access): Ditto.

	* sec_acl.cc (set_posix_access): Replace previous patch.  Return
	EINVAL if uid and/or guid is invalid and not backed by an actual
	Windows account.

	* sec_acl.cc (set_posix_access): Workaround owner/group SIDs being NULL.

	* sec_acl.cc (set_posix_access): Handle files with owner == group.
	Rephrase switch statement checking against unfiltered a_type value.
	(get_posix_access): Handle files with owner == group.

	* sec_acl.cc (get_posix_access): Don't use GROUP_OBJ access to fix up
	CLASS_OBJ mask on old-style ACLs.  Fix a comment.

	* sec_acl.cc (set_posix_access): Always make sure Admins have
	WRITE_DAC and WRITE_OWNER permissions.
	* security.h (create_object_sd_from_attribute): Drop handle parameter
	from prototype.
	* security.cc (create_object_sd_from_attribute): Drop handle parameter.
	Just create the standard POSIXy security descriptor.
	(set_object_attribute): Accommodate dropped paramter in call to
	create_object_sd_from_attribute.
	* fhandler_tty.cc: Ditto, throughout.

	* fhandler_disk_file.cc (fhandler_disk_file::fchmod): Fix typo in
	mask computation.

	* fhandler.cc (fhandler_base::open_with_arch): Call open with mode
	not umasked.
	(fhandler_base::open): Explicitely umask mode on NFS here.  Call new
	set_created_file_access rather than set_file_attribute.
	* fhandler_disk_file.cc (fhandler_disk_file::fchmod): Reimplement
	setting permissions on filesystems supporting ACLs using the new
	set_posix_access call.
	(fhandler_disk_file::fchown): Ditto.
	(fhandler_disk_file::mkdir): Call new set_created_file_access rather
	than set_file_attribute.
	* fhandler_socket.cc (fhandler_socket::bind): Don't umask here.  Add
	WRITE_OWNER access to allow writing group in case of SGID bit set.
	Call new set_created_file_access rather than set_file_attribute.
	* path.cc (symlink_worker): Call new set_created_file_access rather
	than set_file_attribute.
	* sec_acl.cc (searchace): Un-staticize.
	(set_posix_access): New, complementary functionality to
	get_posix_access.
	(setacl): Implement in terms of get_posix_access/set_posix_access.
	(get_posix_access): Add handling for just created files requiring
	their first Cygwin ACL.  Fix new_style recognition.  Handle SGID
	bit.  For old-style ACLs, ignore SYSTEM and Administrators when
	computing the {DEF_}CLASS_OBJ perms.
	* security.cc (get_file_sd): Revamp comment.  Change and (hopefully)
	speed up inheritance processing for just created files.
	(alloc_sd): Remove.
	(set_security_attribute): Call set_posix_access instead of alloc_sd.
	(get_object_attribute): Fix return value.
	(create_object_sd_from_attribute): Call set_posix_access instead of
	alloc_sd.
	(set_file_attribute): Remove.
	(set_created_file_access): New function implemented in terms of
	get_posix_access/set_posix_access.

	Describe how to generate deny ACEs in more detail.  Accommodate the
	fact that a NULL deny ACE is used for {DEF_}CLASS_OBJ, rather than
	a special Cygwin ACE.  Improve further comments.
	(CYG_ACE_NEW_STYLE): Define.
	(get_posix_access): Change from Cygwin ACE to NULL deny ACE.  Fix
	CLASS_OBJ handling to generate CLASS_OBJ and DEF_CLASS_OBJ from a single

	* sec_helper.cc (well_known_cygwin_sid): Remove.
	* security.h (well_known_cygwin_sid): Drop declaration.

	POSIX ACL from SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR.
	(getacl): Just call get_posix_access.
	* sec_helper.cc (well_known_cygwin_sid): Define.
	* security.cc (get_attribute_from_acl): Remove.
	(get_info_from_sd): Remove.
