git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio into staging-next Jonathan writes: First round of new devices, features and cleanups for IIO in the 4.17 cycle. Outside of IIO * Strongly typed 64bit int_sqrt function needed by the mlx90632 New device support * adc081s - New driver supporting adc081s, adc101s and adc121s TI ADCs. * ad5272 - New driver supproting the ad5272 and ad5274 ADI digital potentiometers with DT bindings. * axp20x_adc - support the AXP813 ADC - includes rework patches to prepare for this. * mlx90632 - New driver with dt bindings for this IR temperature sensor. Features * axp20x_adc - Add DT bindings and probing. * dht11 - The sensor has a wider range than advertised in the datasheet - support it. * st_lsm6dsx - Add hardware timestamp su9pport. Cleanups * ABI docs - Update email contact for Matt Ranostay * SPDX changes - Matt Ranostay has moved his drivers over to SPDX. Currently we are making this an author choice in IIO. * ad7192 - Disable burnout current on misconfiguration. No actually effect as they simply won't work otherwise. * ad7476 - Drop a license definition that was replicating information in SPDX tag. * ade7758 - Expand buf_lock to cover both buffer and state protection allowing unintented uses of mlock in the core to be removed. * ade7759 - Align parameters to opening parenthesis. * at91_adc - Depend on sysfs instead of selecting it - for try wide consistency. * ccs811 - trivial naming type for a define. * ep93xx - Drop a redundant return as a result checking platform_get_resource. * hts221 - Regmap conversion which simplifies the driver somewhat. - Clean up some restricted endian cast warnings. - Drop a trailing whitespace from a comment - Drop an unnecessary get_unaligned by changing to the right 16bit data type. * ms5611 - Fix coding style in the probe function (whitespace) * st_accel - Use strlcpy instead of strncpy to avoid potentially truncating a string.

2018-02-01Merge branch 'next-integrity' of ↵Linus Torvalds2-20/+37
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security Pull integrity updates from James Morris: "This contains a mixture of bug fixes, code cleanup, and new functionality. Of note is the integrity cache locking fix, file change detection, and support for a new EVM portable and immutable signature type. The re-introduction of the integrity cache lock (iint) fixes the problem of attempting to take the i_rwsem shared a second time, when it was previously taken exclusively. Defining atomic flags resolves the original iint/i_rwsem circular locking - accessing the file data vs. modifying the file metadata. Although it fixes the O_DIRECT problem as well, a subsequent patch is needed to remove the explicit O_DIRECT prevention. For performance reasons, detecting when a file has changed and needs to be re-measured, re-appraised, and/or re-audited, was limited to after the last writer has closed, and only if the file data has changed. Detecting file change is based on i_version. For filesystems that do not support i_version, remote filesystems, or userspace filesystems, the file was measured, appraised and/or audited once and never re-evaluated. Now local filesystems, which do not support i_version or are not mounted with the i_version option, assume the file has changed and are required to re-evaluate the file. This change does not address detecting file change on remote or userspace filesystems. Unlike file data signatures, which can be included and distributed in software packages (eg. rpm, deb), the existing EVM signature, which protects the file metadata, could not be included in software packages, as it includes file system specific information (eg. i_ino, possibly the UUID).

2017-12-19siox: new driver framework for eckelmann SIOXUwe Kleine-König1-0/+87
SIOX is a bus system invented at Eckelmann AG to control their building management and refrigeration systems. Traditionally the bus was implemented on custom microcontrollers, today Linux based machines are in use, too. The topology on a SIOX bus looks as follows: ,------->--DCLK-->---------------+----------------------. ^ v v ,--------. ,----------------------. ,------ | | | ,--------------. | | | |--->--DOUT-->---|->-|shift register|->-|--->---| | | | `--------------' | | | master | | device | | device | | | ,--------------. | | | |---<--DIN---<---|-<-|shift register|-<-|---<---| | | | `--------------' | | `--------' `----------------------' `------ v ^ ^ `----------DLD-------------------+----------------------' There are two control lines (DCLK and DLD) driven from the bus master to all devices in parallel and two daisy chained data lines, one for input and one for output. DCLK is the clock to shift both chains by a single bit. On an edge of DLD the devices latch both their input and output shift registers. This patch adds a framework for this bus type.

2017-12-18ima: support new "hash" and "dont_hash" policy actionsMimi Zohar1-1/+2
The builtin ima_appraise_tcb policy, which is specified on the boot command line, can be replaced with a custom policy, normally early in the boot process. Custom policies can be more restrictive in some ways, like requiring file signatures, but can be less restrictive in other ways, like not appraising mutable files. With a less restrictive policy in place, files in the builtin policy might not be hashed and labeled with a security.ima hash. On reboot, files which should be labeled in the ima_appraise_tcb are not labeled, possibly preventing the system from booting properly. To resolve this problem, this patch extends the existing IMA policy actions "measure", "dont_measure", "appraise", "dont_appraise", and "audit" with "hash" and "dont_hash". The new "hash" action will write the file hash as security.ima, but without requiring the file to be appraised as well. For example, the builtin ima_appraise_tcb policy includes the rule, "appraise fowner=0". Adding the "hash fowner=0" rule to a custom policy, will cause the needed file hashes to be calculated and written as security.ima xattrs.

2017-12-11EVM: Allow userland to permit modification of EVM-protected metadataMatthew Garrett1-19/+35
When EVM is enabled it forbids modification of metadata protected by EVM unless there is already a valid EVM signature. If any modification is made, the kernel will then generate a new EVM HMAC. However, this does not map well on use cases which use only asymmetric EVM signatures, as in this scenario the kernel is unable to generate new signatures. This patch extends the /sys/kernel/security/evm interface to allow userland to request that modification of these xattrs be permitted. This is only permitted if no keys have already been loaded. In this configuration, modifying the metadata will invalidate the EVM appraisal on the file in question. This allows packaging systems to write out new files, set the relevant extended attributes and then move them into place. There's also some refactoring of the use of evm_initialized in order to avoid heading down codepaths that assume there's a key available.

2017-12-08usb: xhci: Add DbC support in xHCI driverLu Baolu1-0/+25
xHCI compatible USB host controllers(i.e. super-speed USB3 controllers) can be implemented with the Debug Capability(DbC). It presents a debug device which is fully compliant with the USB framework and provides the equivalent of a very high performance full-duplex serial link. The debug capability operation model and registers interface are defined in 7.6.8 of the xHCI specification, revision 1.1. The DbC debug device shares a root port with the xHCI host. By default, the debug capability is disabled and the root port is assigned to xHCI. When the DbC is enabled, the root port will be assigned to the DbC debug device, and the xHCI sees nothing on this port. This implementation uses a sysfs node named <dbc> under the xHCI device to manage the enabling and disabling of the debug capability. When the debug capability is enabled, it will present a debug device through the debug port. This debug device is fully compliant with the USB3 framework, and it can be enumerated by a debug host on the other end of the USB link. As soon as the debug device is configured, a TTY serial device named /dev/ttyDBC0 will be created.

2017-12-07livepatch: force transition to finishMiroslav Benes1-0/+14
If a task sleeps in a set of patched functions uninterruptedly, it could block the whole transition indefinitely. Thus it may be useful to clear its TIF_PATCH_PENDING to allow the process to finish. Admin can do that now by writing to force sysfs attribute in livepatch sysfs directory. TIF_PATCH_PENDING is then cleared for all tasks and the transition can finish successfully. Important note! Administrator should not use this feature without a clearance from a patch distributor. It must be checked that by doing so the consistency model guarantees are not violated. Removal (rmmod) of patch modules is permanently disabled when the feature is used. It cannot be guaranteed there is no task sleeping in such module.
