The array of mount tokens in only used in match_opt_prefix() and never
modified.
The array of symtab names is never modified and only used in the
DEBUG_HASHES configuration as output.
The array of files for the SElinux filesystem sub-directory `ss` is
similar to the other `struct tree_descr` usages only read from to
construct the containing entries.

In case mls_context_cpy() fails due to OOM set the free'd pointer in
context_cpy() to NULL to avoid it potentially being dereferenced or
free'd again in future. Freeing a NULL pointer is well-defined and a
hard NULL dereference crash is at least not exploitable and should give
a workable stack trace.

A few small tweaks to improve the SELinux Makefile:
- Define a new variable, 'genhdrs', to represent both flask.h and
av_permissions.h; this should help ensure consistent processing for
both generated headers.
- Move the 'ccflags-y' variable closer to the top, just after the
main 'obj-$(CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX)' definition to make it more
visible and improve the grouping in the Makefile.
- Rework some of the vertical whitespace to improve some of the
grouping in the Makefile.

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"This only does a few sysctl moves from the kernel/sysctl.c file, the
rest of the work has been put towards deprecating two API calls which
incur recursion and prevent us from simplifying the registration
process / saving memory per move. Most of the changes have been
soaking on linux-next since v6.3-rc3.
I've slowed down the kernel/sysctl.c moves due to Matthew Wilcox's
feedback that we should see if we could *save* memory with these moves
instead of incurring more memory. We currently incur more memory since
when we move a syctl from kernel/sysclt.c out to its own file we end
up having to add a new empty sysctl used to register it. To achieve
saving memory we want to allow syctls to be passed without requiring
the end element being empty, and just have our registration process
rely on ARRAY_SIZE(). Without this, supporting both styles of sysctls
would make the sysctl registration pretty brittle, hard to read and
maintain as can be seen from Meng Tang's efforts to do just this [0].
Fortunately, in order to use ARRAY_SIZE() for all sysctl registrations
also implies doing the work to deprecate two API calls which use
recursion in order to support sysctl declarations with subdirectories.
And so during this development cycle quite a bit of effort went into
this deprecation effort. I've annotated the following two APIs are
deprecated and in few kernel releases we should be good to remove
them:
- register_sysctl_table()
- register_sysctl_paths()
During this merge window we should be able to deprecate and unexport
register_sysctl_paths(), we can probably do that towards the end of
this merge window.
Deprecating register_sysctl_table() will take a bit more time but this
pull request goes with a few example of how to do this.
As it turns out each of the conversions to move away from either of
these two API calls *also* saves memory. And so long term, all these
changes *will* prove to have saved a bit of memory on boot.
The way I see it then is if remove a user of one deprecated call, it
gives us enough savings to move one kernel/sysctl.c out from the
generic arrays as we end up with about the same amount of bytes.
Since deprecating register_sysctl_table() and register_sysctl_paths()
does not require maintainer coordination except the final unexport
you'll see quite a bit of these changes from other pull requests, I've
just kept the stragglers after rc3"

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core:
- Introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Increasing the
default value allows for better BIG TCP performances
- Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers
- RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when
possible
- Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and
unneeded softirq avoidance
- Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false
sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking
- Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft]
- Optimize again the skb struct layout
- Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple
subsystems
- Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts
BPF:
- Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more
ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and
variable-sized accesses
- Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook
BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward
- Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types
- Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device
operating in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for
controlling encap params
- Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular
kfunc exists or not, and also add support for this in light
skeleton
- Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming
BPF open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping
capabilities
- Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce
BPF programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc
- Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and
in local storage maps
- Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr
tasks to be stored in BPF maps
- Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing
shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and
rbtree
- Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in
convert_ctx_access() which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to
start emitting them
- Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf
- Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control
flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations
Protocols:
- IPv4: Allow adding to IPv4 address a 'protocol' tag. Such value
indicates the provenance of the IP address
- IPv6: optimize route lookup, dropping unneeded R/W lock acquisition
- Add the handshake upcall mechanism, allowing the user-space to
implement generic TLS handshake on kernel's behalf
- Bridge: support per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, increasing
resilience to nodes failures
- SCTP: add support for Fair Capacity and Weighted Fair Queueing
schedulers
- MPTCP: delay first subflow allocation up to its first usage. This
will allow for later better LSM interaction
- xfrm: Remove inner/outer modes from input/output path. These are
not needed anymore
- WiFi:
- reduced neighbor report (RNR) handling for AP mode
- HW timestamping support
- support for randomized auth/deauth TA for PASN privacy

- TC offload support for mac80211 drivers
- mac80211 mesh fast-xmit and fast-rx support
- enable Wi-Fi 7 (EHT) mesh support
Netfilter:
- Add nf_tables 'brouting' support, to force a packet to be routed
instead of being bridged
- Update bridge netfilter and ovs conntrack helpers to handle IPv6
Jumbo packets properly, i.e. fetch the packet length from
hop-by-hop extension header. This is needed for BIT TCP support
- The iptables 32bit compat interface isn't compiled in by default
anymore
- Move ip(6)tables builtin icmp matches to the udptcp one. This has
the advantage that icmp/icmpv6 match doesn't load the
iptables/ip6tables modules anymore when iptables-nft is used
- Extended netlink error report for netdevice in flowtables and
netdev/chains. Allow for incrementally add/delete devices to netdev
basechain. Allow to create netdev chain without device
Driver API:
- Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable, as PCI core
has already error reporting enabled at enumeration time
- Move Multicast DB netlink handlers to core, allowing devices other
then bridge to use them
- Allow the page_pool to directly recycle the pages from safely
localized NAPI
- Implement lockless TX queue stop/wake combo macros, allowing for
further code de-duplication and sanitization

of bytes of a transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the
underlying device
- Add basic LED support for switch/phy
- Add NAPI documentation, stop relaying on external links
- Convert dsa_master_ioctl() to netdev notifier. This is a

Pull tpm updates from Jarkko Sakkinen:
- The .machine keyring, used for Machine Owner Keys (MOK), acquired the
ability to store only CA enforced keys, and put rest to the .platform
keyring, thus separating the code signing keys from the keys that are
used to sign certificates.
This essentially unlocks the use of the .machine keyring as a trust
anchor for IMA. It is an opt-in feature, meaning that the additional
contraints won't brick anyone who does not care about them.
- Enable interrupt based transactions with discrete TPM chips (tpm_tis).
There was code for this existing but it never really worked so I
consider this a new feature rather than a bug fix. Before the driver
just fell back to the polling mode.

Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:
- Move the LSM hook comment blocks into security/security.c
For many years the LSM hook comment blocks were located in a very odd
place, include/linux/lsm_hooks.h, where they lived on their own,
disconnected from both the function prototypes and definitions.
In keeping with current kernel conventions, this moves all of these
comment blocks to the top of the function definitions, transforming
them into the kdoc format in the process. This should make it much
easier to maintain these comments, which are the main source of LSM
hook documentation.
For the most part the comment contents were left as-is, although some
glaring errors were corrected. Expect additional edits in the future
as we slowly update and correct the comment blocks.
This is the bulk of the diffstat.
- Introduce LSM_ORDER_LAST
Similar to how LSM_ORDER_FIRST is used to specify LSMs which should
be ordered before "normal" LSMs, the LSM_ORDER_LAST is used to
specify LSMs which should be ordered after "normal" LSMs.
This is one of the prerequisites for transitioning IMA/EVM to a
proper LSM.
- Remove the security_old_inode_init_security() hook
The security_old_inode_init_security() LSM hook only allows for a

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/selinux
Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
- Stop passing the 'selinux_state' pointers as function arguments
As discussed during the end of the last development cycle, passing a
selinux_state pointer through the SELinux code has a noticeable
impact on performance, and with the current code it is not strictly
necessary.
This simplifies things by referring directly to the single
selinux_state global variable which should help improve SELinux
performance.
- Uninline the unlikely portions of avc_has_perm_noaudit()
This change was also based on a discussion from the last development
cycle, and is heavily based on an initial proof of concept patch from
you. The core issue was that avc_has_perm_noaudit() was not able to
be inlined, as intended, due to its size. We solved this issue by
extracting the less frequently hit portions of avc_has_perm_noaudit()
into a separate function, reducing the size of avc_has_perm_noaudit()
to the point where the compiler began inlining the function. We also
took the opportunity to clean up some ugly RCU locking in the code
that became uglier with the change.
- Remove the runtime disable functionality
After several years of work by the userspace and distro folks, we are
finally in a place where we feel comfortable removing the runtime
disable functionality which we initially deprecated at the start of
2020.
There is plenty of information in the kernel's deprecation (now
removal) notice, but the main motivation was to be able to safely
mark the LSM hook structures as '__ro_after_init'.
LWN also wrote a good summary of the deprecation this morning which
offers a more detailed history:
https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/927463/dcfa0d4ed2872f03
- Remove the checkreqprot functionality
The original checkreqprot deprecation notice stated that the removal
would happen no sooner than June 2021, which means this falls hard
into the "better late than never" bucket.
The Kconfig and deprecation notice has more detail on this setting,
but the basic idea is that we want to ensure that the SELinux policy
allows for the memory protections actually applied by the kernel, and
not those requested by the process.
While we haven't found anyone running a supported distro that is
affected by this deprecation/removal, anyone who is affected would
only need to update their policy to reflect the reality of their
applications' mapping protections.
- Minor Makefile improvements
Some minor Makefile improvements to correct some dependency issues
likely only ever seen by SELinux developers. I expect we will have at
least one more tweak to the Makefile during the next merge window,
but it didn't quite make the cutoff this time around.

Add machine keyring CA restriction options to control the type of
keys that may be added to it. The motivation is separation of
certificate signing from code signing keys. Subsquent work will
limit certificates being loaded into the IMA keyring to code
signing keys used for signature verification.
When no restrictions are selected, all Machine Owner Keys (MOK) are added
to the machine keyring. When CONFIG_INTEGRITY_CA_MACHINE_KEYRING is
selected, the CA bit must be true. Also the key usage must contain
keyCertSign, any other usage field may be set as well.
When CONFIG_INTEGRITY_CA_MACHINE_KEYRING_MAX is selected, the CA bit must
be true. Also the key usage must contain keyCertSign and the
digitialSignature usage may not be set.

The key which gets cached in task structure from a kernel thread does not
get invalidated even after expiry. Due to which, a new key request from
kernel thread will be served with the cached key if it's present in task
struct irrespective of the key validity. The change is to not cache key in
task_struct when key requested from kernel thread so that kernel thread
gets a valid key on every key request.
The problem has been seen with the cifs module doing DNS lookups from a
kernel thread and the results getting pinned by being attached to that
kernel thread's cache - and thus not something that can be easily got rid
of. The cache would ordinarily be cleared by notify-resume, but kernel
threads don't do that.
This isn't seen with AFS because AFS is doing request_key() within the
kernel half of a user thread - which will do notify-resume.

After working with the larger SELinux-based distros for several
years, we're finally at a place where we can disable the SELinux
runtime disable functionality. The existing kernel deprecation
notice explains the functionality and why we want to remove it:
The selinuxfs "disable" node allows SELinux to be disabled at
runtime prior to a policy being loaded into the kernel. If
disabled via this mechanism, SELinux will remain disabled until
the system is rebooted.
The preferred method of disabling SELinux is via the "selinux=0"
boot parameter, but the selinuxfs "disable" node was created to
make it easier for systems with primitive bootloaders that did not
allow for easy modification of the kernel command line.
Unfortunately, allowing for SELinux to be disabled at runtime makes
it difficult to secure the kernel's LSM hooks using the
"__ro_after_init" feature.
It is that last sentence, mentioning the '__ro_after_init' hardening,
which is the real motivation for this change, and if you look at the
diffstat you'll see that the impact of this patch reaches across all
the different LSMs, helping prevent tampering at the LSM hook level.
From a SELinux perspective, it is important to note that if you
continue to disable SELinux via "/etc/selinux/config" it may appear
that SELinux is disabled, but it is simply in an uninitialized state.
If you load a policy with `load_policy -i`, you will see SELinux
come alive just as if you had loaded the policy during early-boot.
It is also worth noting that the "/sys/fs/selinux/disable" file is
always writable now, regardless of the Kconfig settings, but writing
to the file has no effect on the system, other than to display an
error on the console if a non-zero/true value is written.
Finally, in the several years where we have been working on
deprecating this functionality, there has only been one instance of
someone mentioning any user visible breakage. In this particular
case it was an individual's kernel test system, and the workaround
documented in the deprecation notice ("selinux=0" on the kernel
command line) resolved the issue without problem.

We originally promised that the SELinux 'checkreqprot' functionality
would be removed no sooner than June 2021, and now that it is March
2023 it seems like it is a good time to do the final removal. The
deprecation notice in the kernel provides plenty of detail on why
'checkreqprot' is not desirable, with the key point repeated below:
This was a compatibility mechanism for legacy userspace and
for the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag. However, if set to
1, it weakens security by allowing mappings to be made executable
without authorization by policy. The default value of checkreqprot
at boot was changed starting in Linux v4.4 to 0 (i.e. check the
actual protection), and Android and Linux distributions have been
explicitly writing a "0" to /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot during
initialization for some time.
Along with the official deprecation notice, we have been discussing
this on-list and directly with several of the larger SELinux-based
distros and everyone is happy to see this feature finally removed.
In an attempt to catch all of the smaller, and DIY, Linux systems
we have been writing a deprecation notice URL into the kernel log,
along with a growing ssleep() penalty, when admins enabled
checkreqprot at runtime or via the kernel command line. We have
yet to have anyone come to us and raise an objection to the
deprecation or planned removal.
It is worth noting that while this patch removes the checkreqprot
functionality, it leaves the user visible interfaces (kernel command
line and selinuxfs file) intact, just inert. This should help
prevent breakages with existing userspace tools that correctly, but
unnecessarily, disable checkreqprot at boot or runtime. Admins
that attempt to enable checkreqprot will be met with a removal
message in the kernel log.

Linus observed that the pervasive passing of selinux_state pointers
introduced by me in commit aa8e712cee93 ("selinux: wrap global selinux

benefit. The original idea was to pave the way for SELinux namespaces
but those have not yet been implemented and there isn't currently
a concrete plan to do so. Remove the passing of the selinux_state
pointers, reverting to direct use of the single global selinux_state,
and likewise remove passing of child pointers like the selinux_avc.
The selinux_policy pointer remains as it is needed for atomic switching
of policies.

Introduce LSM_ORDER_LAST, to satisfy the requirement of LSMs needing to be
last, e.g. the 'integrity' LSM, without changing the kernel command line or
configuration.
Also, set this order for the 'integrity' LSM. While not enforced, this is
the only LSM expected to use it.
Similarly to LSM_ORDER_FIRST, LSMs with LSM_ORDER_LAST are always enabled
and put at the end of the LSM list, if selected in the kernel
configuration. Setting one of these orders alone, does not cause the LSMs
to be selected and compiled built-in in the kernel.
Finally, for LSM_ORDER_MUTABLE LSMs, set the found variable to true if an
LSM is found, regardless of its order. In this way, the kernel would not
wrongly report that the LSM is not built-in in the kernel if its order is
LSM_ORDER_LAST.

This is based on earlier patch posted to the list by Linus, his
commit description read:
"avc_has_perm_noaudit()is one of those hot functions that end up
being used by almost all filesystem operations (through
"avc_has_perm()") and it's intended to be cheap enough to inline.
However, it turns out that the unlikely parts of it (where it
doesn't find an existing avc node) need a fair amount of stack
space for the automatic replacement node, so if it were to be
inlined (at least clang does not) it would just use stack space
unnecessarily.
So split the unlikely part out of it, and mark that part noinline.
That improves the actual likely part."
The basic idea behind the patch was reasonable, but there were minor
nits (double indenting, etc.) and the RCU read lock unlock/re-lock in
avc_compute_av() began to look even more ugly. This patch builds on
Linus' first effort by cleaning things up a bit and removing the RCU
unlock/lock dance in avc_compute_av().
Removing the RCU lock dance in avc_compute_av() is safe as there are
currently two callers of avc_compute_av(): avc_has_perm_noaudit() and
avc_has_extended_perms(). The first caller in avc_has_perm_noaudit()
does not require a RCU lock as there is no avc_node to protect so the
RCU lock can be dropped before calling avc_compute_av(). The second
caller, avc_has_extended_perms(), is similar in that there is no
avc_node that requires RCU protection, but the code is simplified by
holding the RCU look around the avc_compute_av() call, and given that
we enter a RCU critical section in security_compute_av() (called from
av_compute_av()) the impact will likely be unnoticeable. It is also
worth noting that avc_has_extended_perms() is only called from the
SELinux ioctl() access control hook at the moment.

This patch relocates the LSM hook function comments to the function
definitions, in keeping with the current kernel conventions. This
should make the hook descriptions more easily discoverable and easier
to maintain.
While formatting changes have been done to better fit the kernel-doc
style, content changes have been kept to a minimum and limited to
text which was obviously incorrect and/or outdated. It is expected
the future patches will improve the quality of the function header
comments.
