SECURITY_MODEL.md— New section 5.1: Compact Permission-Check Call-Flow DiagramAdds a five-part call-flow reference showing:
SerialObjectPermission,NativeInvocationPermission,NativeMemoryPermission,LoadClassPermission, thread-creation and module-mutation permissions) and how they funnel intocheckPermissionCombinerSecurityManager.checkPermissioninternal flow (self-bypass →checkedcache →contextCache→ parallel domain evaluation)AccessControlContextnative stack walkConcurrentPolicyFile.implies(volatile array read, privileged-grant fast-path, URI comparison, permission implication)System.setSecurityManagerconditional validation flow (trusted 3-class whitelist vs custom 4-layer stack hardening)CONTRIBUTING.md— Two omissions correctedsrc/.../guards/):NativeMemoryPermission.javawas missing from the project-structure tree. It exists in the implementation and is referenced throughoutSECURITY_ANALYSIS.mdandPROCESS_ISOLATION.md.NativeMemoryPermission.javarow (security level HIGH) alongside the existing guard entries.README.md— Security Hardening Roadmap: two missing ✔ Done entriesNativeInvocationPermissionandNativeMemoryPermissionare implemented and wired into JNI/FFM paths, but were absent from the roadmap. Added:NativeInvocationPermissionforClassLoader.findNative/SymbolLookup/SystemLookupNativeMemoryPermissionforArena.global()andMemorySegment.reinterpret*()STACK_VALIDATION_ANALYSIS.md— Annotate two outdated pseudocode blocksThe document is correctly marked RESOLVED (Issue #85) and the Resolution Summary table at the top records the correct 3-class whitelist. However, two pseudocode blocks lower in the document (
isTrustedSecurityManagerClasshelper and Phase 1 code fragment) still showed a single-class check forCombinerSecurityManageronly — the pre-implementation analysis sketch. Added inline notes to both blocks making clear they are historical analysis pseudocode, and directing readers to the Resolution Summary andSystem.javafor the authoritative 3-class implementation.Policy Compliance: All contributions in this PR are human-written and comply with the OpenJDK Interim Policy on Generative AI adopted by DirtyChai.
