This fast-track makes changes related to Trusted Extensions in the handling and use of Unix Domain sockets for X11 clients. A micro/patch release binding is requested. Problem The X11 server supports several transports: UNIX domain sockets, pipes, or TCP networking. In Trusted Extensions, X11 clients run in labeled zone and cannot use UNIX domain sockets to reach the X11 server in the global zone. Therefore they must rely on TCP connections which implies that each zone must have a network interface. A common TX configuration is to use "all-zones" interfaces, so that labeled zones and the global zone can share the same IP address. Labeled zone clients set their DISPLAY environment to the hostname of the global zone to connect to the X11 server. For example: DISPLAY=foobar:0 To avoid the requirement of configuring a network interface in each zone, the loopback interface is now configured automatically as an all-zones interface. Starting with Nevada build 82 and S10u6_03, it can be used by labeled zone clients for TCP X11 connections. This allowed settings like: DISPLAY=localhost:0 or DISPLAY=:0 to both work, as well. In the latter case, it worked because Xlib fell back to try localhost after UNIX domain failed. However, starting in Nevada build 85, the X library has been changed to use UNIX domain sockets if the DISPLAY variable matches the local hostname (as it does with labeled zones). When a connection fails, it retries up to 4 more times, sleeping between each try, before falling back to another connection type (such as TCP). As a result, TX clients either fail to connect or take 15 seconds to make the connection. The only workaround we have now is to explicitly set the DISPLAY to localhost:0. Solution a) Fix bug preventing cross-zone usage of UNIX domain sockets The original zones case specified that there should be no restrictions on UNIX domain socket communication between zones if the endpoints were made available in both zones. [1] This was broken in the implementation after the initial integration and will be fixed for all types of zones by this project. However, a restriction will be added for TX that prevents labeled non-global zones from communicating with each other via UNIX domain sockets, as is already done for doors. [1] Chapter 13 of PSARC 2002/174 Design Spec: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/caselog/2002/174/zones-design.spec.opensolaris.pdf b) The X11 server will use a new rendezvous directory when TX is enabled. Normally, the UNIX domain rendezvous files are in the directory /tmp/.X11-unix. To allow the rendezvous files to be exported to labeled zones, the directory pathname will be changed to: /var/tsol/door/.X11-unix. This directory pathname is chosen because /var/tsol/doors is already loopback mounted into every labeled zone, to export the door rendezvous files for nscd and the label daemon. To make this change transparent to clients, a symbolic link to /tmp/.X11-unix will be created in each zone, including the global zone. This solution will permit labeled zone X11 clients to use any of the various DISPLAY environment variables they have been using previously, and not require the use of TCP.
