vfs_mkdir() gets int, but immediately drops everything that might not
fit into umode_t and that's the only caller of ->mkdir()...

it's not needed anymore; we used to, back when we had to do
mount_subtree() by hand, complete with put_mnt_ns() in it.
No more... Apparmor didn't need it since the __d_path() fix.

tomoyo/realpath.c needs exactly one include - that of common.h. It pulls
everything the thing needs, without doing ridiculous garbage such as trying
to include ../../fs/internal.h. If that alone doesn't scream "layering
violation", I don't know what does; and these days it's all for nothing,
since it fortunately does not use any symbols defined in there...

Commit 1e39f384bb01 ("evm: fix build problems") makes the stub version
of security_old_inode_init_security() return 0 when CONFIG_SECURITY is
not set.
But that makes callers such as reiserfs_security_init() assume that
security_old_inode_init_security() has set name, value, and len
arguments properly - but security_old_inode_init_security() left them
uninitialized which then results in interesting failures.
Revert security_old_inode_init_security() to the old behavior of
returning EOPNOTSUPP since both callers (reiserfs and ocfs2) handle this
just fine.
[ Also fixed the S_PRIVATE(inode) case of the actual non-stub
security_old_inode_init_security() function to return EOPNOTSUPP
for the same reason, as pointed out by Mimi Zohar.
It got incorrectly changed to match the new function in commit
fb88c2b6cbb1: "evm: fix security/security_old_init_security return
code". - Linus ]

Info about new measurements are cached in the iint for performance. When
the inode is flushed from cache, the associated iint is flushed as well.
Subsequent access to the inode will cause the inode to be re-measured and
will attempt to add a duplicate entry to the measurement list.
This patch frees the duplicate measurement memory, fixing a memory leak.

cancel_attach() and attach()
Currently, there's no way to pass multiple tasks to cgroup_subsys
methods necessitating the need for separate per-process and per-task
methods. This patch introduces cgroup_taskset which can be used to
pass multiple tasks and their associated cgroups to cgroup_subsys
methods.
Three methods - can_attach(), cancel_attach() and attach() - are
converted to use cgroup_taskset. This unifies passed parameters so
that all methods have access to all information. Conversions in this
patchset are identical and don't introduce any behavior change.

__d_path() API is asking for trouble and in case of apparmor d_namespace_path()
getting just that. The root cause is that when __d_path() misses the root
it had been told to look for, it stores the location of the most remote ancestor
in *root. Without grabbing references. Sure, at the moment of call it had
been pinned down by what we have in *path. And if we raced with umount -l, we
could have very well stopped at vfsmount/dentry that got freed as soon as
prepend_path() dropped vfsmount_lock.
It is safe to compare these pointers with pre-existing (and known to be still
alive) vfsmount and dentry, as long as all we are asking is "is it the same
address?". Dereferencing is not safe and apparmor ended up stepping into
that. d_namespace_path() really wants to examine the place where we stopped,
even if it's not connected to our namespace. As the result, it looked
at ->d_sb->s_magic of a dentry that might've been already freed by that point.
All other callers had been careful enough to avoid that, but it's really
a bad interface - it invites that kind of trouble.
The fix is fairly straightforward, even though it's bigger than I'd like:
* prepend_path() root argument becomes const.
* __d_path() is never called with NULL/NULL root. It was a kludge
to start with. Instead, we have an explicit function - d_absolute_root().
Same as __d_path(), except that it doesn't get root passed and stops where
it stops. apparmor and tomoyo are using it.
* __d_path() returns NULL on path outside of root. The main
caller is show_mountinfo() and that's precisely what we pass root for - to
skip those outside chroot jail. Those who don't want that can (and do)
use d_path().
* __d_path() root argument becomes const. Everyone agrees, I hope.
* apparmor does *NOT* try to use __d_path() or any of its variants
when it sees that path->mnt is an internal vfsmount. In that case it's
definitely not mounted anywhere and dentry_path() is exactly what we want
there. Handling of sysctl()-triggered weirdness is moved to that place.
* if apparmor is asked to do pathname relative to chroot jail
and __d_path() tells it we it's not in that jail, the sucker just calls
d_absolute_path() instead. That's the other remaining caller of __d_path(),
BTW.
* seq_path_root() does _NOT_ return -ENAMETOOLONG (it's stupid anyway -
the normal seq_file logics will take care of growing the buffer and redoing
the call of ->show() just fine). However, if it gets path not reachable
from root, it returns SEQ_SKIP. The only caller adjusted (i.e. stopped
ignoring the return value as it used to do).

Encrypted keys are encrypted/decrypted using either a trusted or
user-defined key type, which is referred to as the 'master' key.
The master key may be of type trusted iff the trusted key is
builtin or both the trusted key and encrypted keys are built as
modules. This patch resolves the build dependency problem.
- Use "masterkey-$(CONFIG_TRUSTED_KEYS)-$(CONFIG_ENCRYPTED_KEYS)" construct
to encapsulate the above logic. (Suggested by Dimtry Kasatkin.)
- Fixing the encrypted-keys Makefile, results in a module name change
from encrypted.ko to encrypted-keys.ko.

Commit 272cd7a8c67dd40a31ecff76a503bbb84707f757 introduced
a change to the way rule lists are handled and reported in
the smackfs filesystem. One of the issues addressed had to
do with the termination of read requests on /smack/load.
This change introduced a error in /smack/cipso, which shares
some of the same list processing code.
This patch updates all the file access list handling in
smackfs to use the code introduced for /smack/load.

This patch adds support for digital signature verification to EVM.
With this feature file metadata can be protected using digital
signature instead of an HMAC. When building an image,
which has to be flashed to different devices, an HMAC cannot
be used to sign file metadata, because the HMAC key should be
different on every device.

Define separate keyrings for each of the different use cases - evm, ima,
and modules. Using different keyrings improves search performance, and also
allows "locking" specific keyring to prevent adding new keys.
This is useful for evm and module keyrings, when keys are usually only
added from initramfs.

The basic idea behind cross memory attach is to allow MPI programs doing
intra-node communication to do a single copy of the message rather than a
double copy of the message via shared memory.
The following patch attempts to achieve this by allowing a destination
process, given an address and size from a source process, to copy memory
directly from the source process into its own address space via a system
call. There is also a symmetrical ability to copy from the current
process's address space into a destination process's address space.
- Use of /proc/pid/mem has been considered, but there are issues with
using it:
- Does not allow for specifying iovecs for both src and dest, assuming
preadv or pwritev was implemented either the area read from or
written to would need to be contiguous.
- Currently mem_read allows only processes who are currently
ptrace'ing the target and are still able to ptrace the target to read
from the target. This check could possibly be moved to the open call,
but its not clear exactly what race this restriction is stopping
(reason appears to have been lost)
- Having to send the fd of /proc/self/mem via SCM_RIGHTS on unix
domain socket is a bit ugly from a userspace point of view,
especially when you may have hundreds if not (eventually) thousands
of processes that all need to do this with each other
- Doesn't allow for some future use of the interface we would like to
consider adding in the future (see below)
- Interestingly reading from /proc/pid/mem currently actually
involves two copies! (But this could be fixed pretty easily)
As mentioned previously use of vmsplice instead was considered, but has
problems. Since you need the reader and writer working co-operatively if
the pipe is not drained then you block. Which requires some wrapping to
do non blocking on the send side or polling on the receive. In all to all
communication it requires ordering otherwise you can deadlock. And in the
example of many MPI tasks writing to one MPI task vmsplice serialises the
copying.
There are some cases of MPI collectives where even a single copy interface
does not get us the performance gain we could. For example in an
MPI_Reduce rather than copy the data from the source we would like to
instead use it directly in a mathops (say the reduce is doing a sum) as
this would save us doing a copy. We don't need to keep a copy of the data
from the source. I haven't implemented this, but I think this interface
could in the future do all this through the use of the flags - eg could
specify the math operation and type and the kernel rather than just
copying the data would apply the specified operation between the source
and destination and store it in the destination.
Although we don't have a "second user" of the interface (though I've had
some nibbles from people who may be interested in using it for intra
process messaging which is not MPI). This interface is something which
hardware vendors are already doing for their custom drivers to implement
fast local communication. And so in addition to this being useful for
OpenMPI it would mean the driver maintainers don't have to fix things up
when the mm changes.
There was some discussion about how much faster a true zero copy would
go. Here's a link back to the email with some testing I did on that:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=130105930902915&w=2
There is a basic man page for the proposed interface here:
http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/process_vm_readv.txt
This has been implemented for x86 and powerpc, other architecture should
mainly (I think) just need to add syscall numbers for the process_vm_readv
and process_vm_writev. There are 32 bit compatibility versions for
64-bit kernels.
For arch maintainers there are some simple tests to be able to quickly
verify that the syscalls are working correctly here:

The pervasive, but implicit presence of <linux/module.h> meant
that things like this file would happily compile as-is. But
with the desire to phase out the module.h being included everywhere,
point this file at export.h which will give it THIS_MODULE and
the EXPORT_SYMBOL variants.

Commit 17fcfbd9 "TOMOYO: Add interactive enforcing mode." introduced ability
to query access decision using userspace programs. It was using global PID for
reaching policy configuration of the process. However, use of PID returns stale
policy configuration when the process's subjective credentials and objective
credentials differ. Fix this problem by allowing reaching policy configuration
via query id.

Commit f23571e8 "TOMOYO: Copy directly to userspace buffer." introduced
tomoyo_flush() that flushes data to be read as soon as possible.
tomoyo_select_domain() (which is called by write()) enqueues data which meant
to be read by next read(), but previous read()'s read buffer's size was not
cleared. As a result, since 2.6.36, sequence like
char *cp = "select global-pid=1\n";
read(fd, buf1, sizeof(buf1));
write(fd, cp, strlen(cp));
read(fd, buf2, sizeof(buf2));
causes enqueued data to be flushed to buf1 rather than buf2.
Fix this bug by clearing read buffer's size upon write() request.
