selinux: prune /sys/fs/selinux/user

2026-05-14T13:31:05+00:00

commit ad1ac3d740cc6b858a99ab9c45c8c0574be7d1d3 upstream. Remove the previously deprecated /sys/fs/selinux/user interface aside from a residual stub for userspace compatibility. Commit d7b6918e22c7 ("selinux: Deprecate /sys/fs/selinux/user") started the deprecation process for /sys/fs/selinux/user: The selinuxfs "user" node allows userspace to request a list of security contexts that can be reached for a given SELinux user from a given starting context. This was used by libselinux when various login-style programs requested contexts for users, but libselinux stopped using it in 2020. Kernel support will be removed no sooner than Dec 2025. A pr_warn() message has been in place since Linux v6.13, and a 5 second sleep was introduced since Linux v6.17 to help make it more noticeable. We are now past the stated deadline of Dec 2025, so remove the underlying functionality and replace it with a stub that returns a '0\0' buffer to avoid breaking userspace. This also avoids a local DoS from logspam and an uninterruptible sleep delay. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Stephen Smalley Signed-off-by: Paul Moore Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

zram: rename writeback_compressed device attr

2026-03-04T17:44:23+00:00

Rename writeback_compressed attr to compressed_writeback to avoid possible confusion and have more natural naming. writeback_compressed may look like an alternative version of writeback while in fact writeback_compressed only sets a writeback property. Make this distinction more clear with a new compressed_writeback name. This updates a feature which is new in 7.0-rcX.

platform/x86: uniwill-laptop: Rename FN lock and super key lock attrs

2026-02-23T16:06:38+00:00

It turns out that both sysfs attributes actually directly control the FN lock status/super key enable status, rather than the triggering of the associated events. This behavior was first observed on a Tuxedo notebook and was belived to be a hardware quirk. However, it seems that i simply misunderstood the manual of the OEM software for Intel NUC devices. The correct behavior is: - fn_lock_toggle_enable enables/disables FN lock mode - super_key_toggle_enable enables/disables the super key Rename both sysfs attributes to avoid confusing users.
