| 1 | # /system/configuration/protocol.csv — who may claim, and who may reach, a name |
|---|---|
| 2 | # under /protocol (docs/os-development/protocol-namespace.md). |
| 3 | # |
| 4 | # init is the registrar: it serves /protocol, and every bind AND every open is |
| 5 | # checked against this file. It is AUTHORITATIVE — a name no row grants cannot be |
| 6 | # bound or reached, and a missing file means nothing may be bound or reached at |
| 7 | # all. |
| 8 | # |
| 9 | # A refused open is answered exactly as a name nobody bound is: -ENOENT, and no |
| 10 | # capability. That is not politeness, it is the model — the namespace IS the |
| 11 | # restriction, so what a process may not open simply does not exist for it, and |
| 12 | # Which is why a missing row here shows up as a client retrying forever rather |
| 13 | # than as an error: check this file first, and `readdir /protocol` second. |
| 14 | # |
| 15 | # '#' starts a comment (whole-line or trailing); blank lines are ignored. |
| 16 | # Whitespace around a field is trimmed, so columns may be padded. Four |
| 17 | # comma-separated fields per row: |
| 18 | # |
| 19 | # binary the claimant's binary path, exactly as the kernel stamped it at |
| 20 | # spawn (argv[0]) — unforgeable, read from the process records |
| 21 | # supervisor the authorized supervising TASK, written as the binary it runs — |
| 22 | # the path init was started as for its own services, the device |
| 23 | # manager's path for the drivers it starts. The one word that is not |
| 24 | # a path is 'kernel', because a kernel task has no binary; that is |
| 25 | # what the test harness's direct spawns look like. |
| 26 | # Matched by IDENTITY, not by spelling. Name alone is not identity — |
| 27 | # spawn is ungated, so a hostile process can start a granted binary |
| 28 | # itself and inherit its grants; and it can equally start its own |
| 29 | # instance of the *supervisor's* binary and have that spawn the |
| 30 | # granted one, at which point both names read correctly (the |
| 31 | # laundering deputy). So init also asks which task the supervisor |
| 32 | # is: 'kernel' means supervisor id 0, which only the kernel can |
| 33 | # confer; init's own path means this init; any other path means a |
| 34 | # task init spawned itself or one the kernel spawned. Task ids are |
| 35 | # monotonic and never reused, so an id cannot be borrowed. |
| 36 | # permission bind (provide this contract) | open (speak to it) | |
| 37 | # supervise (stand in someone else's chain — see below) |
| 38 | # name the contract, relative to /protocol |
| 39 | # |
| 40 | # A trailing '*' on any field matches any tail — how a subtree is granted whole. |
| 41 | # |
| 42 | # 'supervise' exists because attestation is one hop deep and the driver tree is |
| 43 | # three: the device manager starts the PS/2 bus, and the bus starts the keyboard |
| 44 | # and mouse drivers. Init never met the bus, so it cannot vouch for it by |
| 45 | # acquaintance — and it must not vouch for it by name, or the laundering deputy |
| 46 | # walks straight in. A 'supervise' row is the manifest saying it: a task running |
| 47 | # this binary, under this supervisor, may be the supervising task an 'open' row |
| 48 | # names, for this contract and no other. It grants the delegate nothing itself, |
| 49 | # and it is deliberately open-only — a delegate may vouch for what its children |
| 50 | # REACH, never for what they CLAIM, so every bind refusal is untouched by it. |
