Pull security subsystem updates from James Morris:
"In this patchset, we finally get an SELinux update, with Paul Moore
taking over as maintainer of that code.
Also a significant update for the Keys subsystem, as well as
maintenance updates to Smack, IMA, TPM, and Apparmor"
and since I wanted to know more about the updates to key handling,
here's the explanation from David Howells on that:
"Okay. There are a number of separate bits. I'll go over the big bits
and the odd important other bit, most of the smaller bits are just
fixes and cleanups. If you want the small bits accounting for, I can
do that too.
(1) Keyring capacity expansion.
KEYS: Consolidate the concept of an 'index key' for key access
KEYS: Introduce a search context structure
KEYS: Search for auth-key by name rather than target key ID
Add a generic associative array implementation.
KEYS: Expand the capacity of a keyring
Several of the patches are providing an expansion of the capacity of a
keyring. Currently, the maximum size of a keyring payload is one page.
Subtract a small header and then divide up into pointers, that only gives
you ~500 pointers on an x86_64 box. However, since the NFS idmapper uses
a keyring to store ID mapping data, that has proven to be insufficient to
the cause.
Whatever data structure I use to handle the keyring payload, it can only
store pointers to keys, not the keys themselves because several keyrings
may point to a single key. This precludes inserting, say, and rb_node
struct into the key struct for this purpose.
I could make an rbtree of records such that each record has an rb_node
and a key pointer, but that would use four words of space per key stored
in the keyring. It would, however, be able to use much existing code.
I selected instead a non-rebalancing radix-tree type approach as that
could have a better space-used/key-pointer ratio. I could have used the
radix tree implementation that we already have and insert keys into it by
their serial numbers, but that means any sort of search must iterate over
the whole radix tree. Further, its nodes are a bit on the capacious side
for what I want - especially given that key serial numbers are randomly
allocated, thus leaving a lot of empty space in the tree.
So what I have is an associative array that internally is a radix-tree
with 16 pointers per node where the index key is constructed from the key
type pointer and the key description. This means that an exact lookup by
type+description is very fast as this tells us how to navigate directly to
the target key.
I made the data structure general in lib/assoc_array.c as far as it is
concerned, its index key is just a sequence of bits that leads to a
pointer. It's possible that someone else will be able to make use of it
also. FS-Cache might, for example.
(2) Mark keys as 'trusted' and keyrings as 'trusted only'.
KEYS: verify a certificate is signed by a 'trusted' key
KEYS: Make the system 'trusted' keyring viewable by userspace
KEYS: Add a 'trusted' flag and a 'trusted only' flag
KEYS: Separate the kernel signature checking keyring from module signing
These patches allow keys carrying asymmetric public keys to be marked as
being 'trusted' and allow keyrings to be marked as only permitting the
addition or linkage of trusted keys.
Keys loaded from hardware during kernel boot or compiled into the kernel
during build are marked as being trusted automatically. New keys can be
loaded at runtime with add_key(). They are checked against the system
keyring contents and if their signatures can be validated with keys that
are already marked trusted, then they are marked trusted also and can
thus be added into the master keyring.
Patches from Mimi Zohar make this usable with the IMA keyrings also.
(3) Remove the date checks on the key used to validate a module signature.
X.509: Remove certificate date checks
It's not reasonable to reject a signature just because the key that it was
generated with is no longer valid datewise - especially if the kernel
hasn't yet managed to set the system clock when the first module is
loaded - so just remove those checks.
(4) Make it simpler to deal with additional X.509 being loaded into the kernel.
KEYS: Load *.x509 files into kernel keyring
KEYS: Have make canonicalise the paths of the X.509 certs better to deduplicate
The builder of the kernel now just places files with the extension ".x509"
into the kernel source or build trees and they're concatenated by the
kernel build and stuffed into the appropriate section.
(5) Add support for userspace kerberos to use keyrings.
KEYS: Add per-user_namespace registers for persistent per-UID kerberos caches
KEYS: Implement a big key type that can save to tmpfs
Fedora went to, by default, storing kerberos tickets and tokens in tmpfs.
We looked at storing it in keyrings instead as that confers certain
advantages such as tickets being automatically deleted after a certain
amount of time and the ability for the kernel to get at these tokens more
easily.
To make this work, two things were needed:
(a) A way for the tickets to persist beyond the lifetime of all a user's
sessions so that cron-driven processes can still use them.
The problem is that a user's session keyrings are deleted when the
session that spawned them logs out and the user's user keyring is
deleted when the UID is deleted (typically when the last log out
happens), so neither of these places is suitable.
I've added a system keyring into which a 'persistent' keyring is
created for each UID on request. Each time a user requests their
persistent keyring, the expiry time on it is set anew. If the user
doesn't ask for it for, say, three days, the keyring is automatically
expired and garbage collected using the existing gc. All the kerberos
tokens it held are then also gc'd.
(b) A key type that can hold really big tickets (up to 1MB in size).
The problem is that Active Directory can return huge tickets with lots
of auxiliary data attached. We don't, however, want to eat up huge
tracts of unswappable kernel space for this, so if the ticket is
greater than a certain size, we create a swappable shmem file and dump
the contents in there and just live with the fact we then have an
inode and a dentry overhead. If the ticket is smaller than that, we
slap it in a kmalloc()'d buffer"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc
Pull powerpc LE updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"With my previous pull request I mentioned some remaining Little Endian
patches, notably support for our new ABI, which I was sitting on
making sure it was all finalized.
The toolchain folks confirmed it now, the new ABI is stable and merged
with gcc, so we are all good. Oh and we actually missed the actual
Kconfig switch for LE so here it is, along with a couple more bug
fixes.
I have more fixes but not related to LE so I'll send them as a
separate pull request tomorrow, let's get this one out of the way.
Note that this supports running user space binaries using the new ABI,
but the kernel itself still needs to be built with the old one. We'll
bring fixes for that after -rc1.
Here's Anton log that goes with this series:
This patch series adds support for the new ABI, LPAR support for
H_SET_MODE and finally adds a kconfig option and defconfig.
ABIv2 support was recently committed to binutils and gcc, and should
be merged into glibc soon. There are a number of very nice
improvements including the removal of function descriptors. Rusty's
kernel patches allow binaries of either ABI to work, easing the
transition"

This reverts commit ea1e7ed33708c7a760419ff9ded0a6cb90586a50.
Al points out that while the commit *does* actually create a separate
slab for the page->ptl allocation, that slab is never actually used, and
the code continues to use kmalloc/kfree.
Damien Wyart points out that the original patch did have the conversion
to use kmem_cache_alloc/free, so it got lost somewhere on its way to me.
Revert the half-arsed attempt that didn't do anything. If we really do
want the special slab (remember: this is all relevant just for debug
builds, so it's not necessarily all that critical) we might as well redo
the patch fully.

I've finally tracked down why my CR signal-unwind test case still
fails on little-endian. The problem turned to be that the kernel
installs a signal trampoline in the vDSO, and provides a DWARF CFI
record for that trampoline. This CFI describes the save location
for CR:
rsave (70, 38*RSIZE + (RSIZE - CRSIZE))
which is correct for big-endian, but points to the wrong word on
little-endian. This is wrong no matter which ABI.
In addition, for the ELFv2 ABI, we should not only provide a CFI
record for register 70 (cr2), but for all CR fields separately.
Strictly speaking, I guess this would mean providing two separate
vDSO images, one for ELFv1 processes and one for ELFv2 processes (or
maybe playing some tricks with conditional DWARF expressions).
However, having CFI records for the other CR fields in ELFv1 is not
actually wrong, they just will be ignored. So it seems the simplest
fix would be just to always provide CFI for all the fields.

Little endian ppc64 is getting an exciting new ABI. This is reflected
by the bottom two bits of e_flags in the ELF header:
0 == legacy binaries (v1 ABI)
1 == binaries using the old ABI (compiled with a new toolchain)
2 == binaries using the new ABI.
We store this in a thread flag, because we need to set it in core
dumps and for signal delivery. Our chief concern is that it doesn't
use function descriptors.

(.ex.text+0x236): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against symbol `panic' defined in .text.unlikely section in kernel/built-in.o
--->8---
It comes up when the kernel increases and 'panic()' is too far away to fit in
the +/- 2MiB range. Which in turn issues from the 21-bit displacement in
'br{cond4}' mnemonic which is one of the two ways to do jumps (rjmp has just
10-bit displacement and therefore a way smaller range). This fact was stated
before in 8d29b7b9f81d6b83d869ff054e6c189d6da73f1f.
One solution to solve this is to add a local storage for the symbol address
and just load the $pc with that value.

Before the CRT was (fully) set up in kernel_entry (bss cleared before in

This patch fixes this up to have a fully working CRT when branching to panic()

This introduces an implementation of squashfs_readpage_block()
that directly decompresses into the page cache.
This uses the previously added page handler abstraction to push
down the necessary kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic operations on the
page cache buffers into the decompressors. This enables
direct copying into the page cache without using the slow
kmap/kunmap calls.
The code detects when multiple threads are racing in
squashfs_readpage() to decompress the same block, and avoids
this regression by falling back to using an intermediate
buffer.
This patch enhances the performance of Squashfs significantly
when multiple processes are accessing the filesystem simultaneously
because it not only reduces memcopying, but it more importantly
eliminates the lock contention on the intermediate buffer.

Further generalise the decompressors by adding a page handler
abstraction. This adds helpers to allow the decompressors
to access and process the output buffers in an implementation
independant manner.
This allows different types of output buffer to be passed
to the decompressors, with the implementation specific
aspects handled at decompression time, but without the
knowledge being held in the decompressor wrapper code.
This will allow the decompressors to handle Squashfs
cache buffers, and page cache pages.
This patch adds the abstraction and an implementation for
the caches.

Add a multi-threaded decompression implementation which uses
percpu variables.
Using percpu variables has advantages and disadvantages over
implementations which do not use percpu variables.
Advantages:
* the nature of percpu variables ensures decompression is
load-balanced across the multiple cores.
* simplicity.
Disadvantages: it limits decompression to one thread per core.

The decompressor interface and code was written from
the point of view of single-threaded operation. In doing
so it mixed a lot of single-threaded implementation specific
aspects into the decompressor code and elsewhere which makes it
difficult to seamlessly support multiple different decompressor
implementations.
This patch does the following:
1. It removes compressor_options parsing from the decompressor
init() function. This allows the decompressor init() function
to be dynamically called to instantiate multiple decompressors,
without the compressor options needing to be read and parsed each
time.
2. It moves threading and all sleeping operations out of the
decompressors. In doing so, it makes the decompressors
non-blocking wrappers which only deal with interfacing with
the decompressor implementation.
3. It splits decompressor.[ch] into decompressor generic functions
in decompressor.[ch], and moves the single threaded
decompressor implementation into decompressor_single.c.
The result of this patch is Squashfs should now be able to
support multiple decompressors by adding new decompressor_xxx.c
files with specialised implementations of the functions in
decompressor_single.c

It appears that driver runs into a problem here if fibsize is too small
because we allocate user_srbcmd with fibsize size only but later we
access it until user_srbcmd->sg.count to copy it over to srbcmd.
It is not correct to test (fibsize < sizeof(*user_srbcmd)) because this
structure already includes one sg element and this is not needed for
commands without data. So, we would recommend to add the following
(instead of test for fibsize == 0).

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
"Mostly these are fixes for fallout due to merge window changes, as
well as cures for problems that have been with us for a much longer
period of time"
1) Johannes Berg noticed two major deficiencies in our genetlink
registration. Some genetlink protocols we passing in constant
counts for their ops array rather than something like
ARRAY_SIZE(ops) or similar. Also, some genetlink protocols were
using fixed IDs for their multicast groups.
We have to retain these fixed IDs to keep existing userland tools
working, but reserve them so that other multicast groups used by
other protocols can not possibly conflict.
In dealing with these two problems, we actually now use less state
management for genetlink operations and multicast groups.
2) When configuring interface hardware timestamping, fix several
drivers that simply do not validate that the hwtstamp_config value
is one the driver actually supports. From Ben Hutchings.
3) Invalid memory references in mwifiex driver, from Amitkumar Karwar.
4) In dev_forward_skb(), set the skb->protocol in the right order
relative to skb_scrub_packet(). From Alexei Starovoitov.
5) Bridge erroneously fails to use the proper wrapper functions to make
calls to netdev_ops->ndo_vlan_rx_{add,kill}_vid. Fix from Toshiaki
Makita.
6) When detaching a bridge port, make sure to flush all VLAN IDs to
prevent them from leaking, also from Toshiaki Makita.
7) Put in a compromise for TCP Small Queues so that deep queued devices
that delay TX reclaim non-trivially don't have such a performance
decrease. One particularly problematic area is 802.11 AMPDU in
wireless. From Eric Dumazet.
8) Fix crashes in tcp_fastopen_cache_get(), we can see NULL socket dsts
here. Fix from Eric Dumzaet, reported by Dave Jones.
9) Fix use after free in ipv6 SIT driver, from Willem de Bruijn.
10) When computing mergeable buffer sizes, virtio-net fails to take the
virtio-net header into account. From Michael Dalton.
11) Fix seqlock deadlock in ip4_datagram_connect() wrt. statistic

12) Fix NULL deref in the new TIPC fragmentation handling, from Erik
Hugne.
13) 6lowpan bit used for traffic classification was wrong, from Jukka
Rissanen.
14) macvlan has the same issue as normal vlans did wrt. propagating LRO

This reverts commit 63379c135331c724d40a87b98eb62d2122981341.
It broke userspace and adding more checking is not needed.
Even checking if a syscall would access memory in page zero doesn't
makes sense since it may lead to some syscalls returning -EFAULT
where we would return other error codes on other platforms.
In summary, just drop this change and return to always return 1.

Johannes Berg says:
====================
genetlink: clean up multicast group APIs
The generic netlink multicast group registration doesn't have to
be dynamic, and can thus be simplified just like I did with the
ops. This removes some complexity in registration code.
Additionally, two users of generic netlink already use multicast
groups in a wrong way, add workarounds for those two to keep the
userspace API working, but at the same time make them not clash
with other users of multicast groups as might happen now.
While making it all a bit easier, also prevent such abuse by adding
checks to the APIs so each family can only use the groups it owns.

Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with
the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead
of passing the global group ID to the various functions that
send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most
families that's just 0 because the only have one group.
This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new
field for the mcast group ID offset to the family.
At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups
again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now
check that a family only uses a group it owns.
