This follows the established practice and fixes a build failure for me:

[ Upstream commit 6c055e62560b958354625604293652753d82bcae ]

WB_HISTORY_SIZE was defined to be a value not a power of 2, despite a
comment in the declaration of struct match_workbuf stating it is and a
modular arithmetic usage in the inc_wb_pos macro assuming that it is. Bump
WB_HISTORY_SIZE's value up to 32 and add a BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2
line to ensure that any future changes to the value of WB_HISTORY_SIZE
respect this requirement.

Commit c7423dbdbc9e ("ima: Handle -ESTALE returned by
ima_filter_rule_match()") introduced call to ima_lsm_copy_rule within a
RCU read-side critical section which contains kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL.
This implies a possible sleep and violates limitations of RCU read-side
critical sections on non-PREEMPT systems.

Sleeping within RCU read-side critical section might cause
synchronize_rcu() returning early and break RCU protection, allowing a
UAF to happen.

The root cause of this issue could be described as follows:
|	Thread A	|	Thread B	|
|			|ima_match_policy	|
|			|  rcu_read_lock	|
|ima_lsm_update_rule	|			|
|  synchronize_rcu	|			|
|			|    kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)|
|			|      sleep		|
==&gt; synchronize_rcu returns early
|  kfree(entry)		|			|
|			|    entry = entry-&gt;next|
==&gt; UAF happens and entry now becomes NULL (or could be anything).
|			|    entry-&gt;action	|
==&gt; Accessing entry might cause panic.

To fix this issue, we are converting all kmalloc that is called within
RCU read-side critical section to use GFP_ATOMIC.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit b11e51dd70947107fa4076c6286dce301671afc1 ]

Use macros, VISIBLE_IF_KUNIT and EXPORT_SYMBOL_IF_KUNIT, to allow
static symbols to be conditionally set to be visible during
apparmor_policy_unpack_test, which removes the need to include the testing
file in the implementation file.

Change the namespace of the symbols that are now conditionally visible (by
adding the prefix aa_) to avoid confusion with symbols of the same name.

Allow the test to be built as a module and namespace the module name from
policy_unpack_test to apparmor_policy_unpack_test to improve clarity of
the module name.

Provide an example of how static symbols can be dealt with in testing.

a while ago. Ptrace mediation is better grouped with task than
ipc, so move it.

Allow labels to have debug flags that can be used to trigger debug output
only from profiles/labels that are marked. This can help reduce debug
output by allowing debug to be target to a specific confinement condition.

When finding the profile via patterned attachments, the longest left
match is being set to the static compile time value and not using the
runtime computed value.

Fix this by setting the candidate value to the greater of the
precomputed value or runtime computed value.

<title>apparmor: disable showing the mode as part of a secid to secctx</title>

<id>urn:sha1:524d8e14258a3c31bcaf915db5762e41249eb924</id>
<content type='text'>
Displaying the mode as part of the seectx takes up unnecessary memory,
makes it so we can't use refcounted secctx so we need to alloc/free on
every conversion from secid to secctx and introduces a space that
could be potentially mishandled by tooling.

Eg. In an audit record we get

  subj_type=firefix (enforce)

Having the mode reported is not necessary, and might even be confusing
eg. when writing an audit rule to match the above record field you
would use

  -F subj_type=firefox

ie. the mode is not included. AppArmor provides ways to find the mode
without reporting as part of the secctx. So disable this by default
before its use is wide spread and we can't. For now we add a sysctl
to control the behavior as we can't guarantee no one is using this.
