Pull security module updates from Paul Moore:

 - Add three new syscalls: lsm_list_modules(), lsm_get_self_attr(), and
   lsm_set_self_attr().

   The first syscall simply lists the LSMs enabled, while the second and
   third get and set the current process' LSM attributes. Yes, these
   syscalls may provide similar functionality to what can be found under
   /proc or /sys, but they were designed to support multiple,
   simultaneaous (stacked) LSMs from the start as opposed to the current
   /proc based solutions which were created at a time when only one LSM
   was allowed to be active at a given time.

   We have spent considerable time discussing ways to extend the
   existing /proc interfaces to support multiple, simultaneaous LSMs and
   even our best ideas have been far too ugly to support as a kernel
   API; after +20 years in the kernel, I felt the LSM layer had
   established itself enough to justify a handful of syscalls.

   Support amongst the individual LSM developers has been nearly
   unanimous, with a single objection coming from Tetsuo (TOMOYO) as he
   is worried that the LSM_ID_XXX token concept will make it more
   difficult for out-of-tree LSMs to survive. Several members of the LSM
   community have demonstrated the ability for out-of-tree LSMs to
   continue to exist by picking high/unused LSM_ID values as well as
   pointing out that many kernel APIs rely on integer identifiers, e.g.
   syscalls (!), but unfortunately Tetsuo's objections remain.

   My personal opinion is that while I have no interest in penalizing
   out-of-tree LSMs, I'm not going to penalize in-tree development to
   support out-of-tree development, and I view this as a necessary step
   forward to support the push for expanded LSM stacking and reduce our
   reliance on /proc and /sys which has occassionally been problematic
   for some container users. Finally, we have included the linux-api
   folks on (all?) recent revisions of the patchset and addressed all of
   their concerns.

 - Add a new security_file_ioctl_compat() LSM hook to handle the 32-bit
   ioctls on 64-bit systems problem.

   This patch includes support for all of the existing LSMs which
   provide ioctl hooks, although it turns out only SELinux actually
   cares about the individual ioctls. It is worth noting that while
   Casey (Smack) and Tetsuo (TOMOYO) did not give explicit ACKs to this
   patch, they did both indicate they are okay with the changes.

 - Fix a potential memory leak in the CALIPSO code when IPv6 is disabled
   at boot.

   While it's good that we are fixing this, I doubt this is something
   users are seeing in the wild as you need to both disable IPv6 and
   then attempt to configure IPv6 labeled networking via
   NetLabel/CALIPSO; that just doesn't make much sense.

   Normally this would go through netdev, but Jakub asked me to take
   this patch and of all the trees I maintain, the LSM tree seemed like
   the best fit.

 - Update the LSM MAINTAINERS entry with additional information about
   our process docs, patchwork, bug reporting, etc.

   I also noticed that the Lockdown LSM is missing a dedicated
   MAINTAINERS entry so I've added that to the pull request. I've been
   working with one of the major Lockdown authors/contributors to see if
   they are willing to step up and assume a Lockdown maintainer role;
   hopefully that will happen soon, but in the meantime I'll continue to
   look after it.

 - Add a handful of mailmap entries for Serge Hallyn and myself.

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:

 - Add a new SELinux initial SID, SECINITSID_INIT, to represent
   userspace processes started before the SELinux policy is loaded in
   early boot.

   Prior to this patch all processes were marked as SECINITSID_KERNEL
   before the SELinux policy was loaded, making it difficult to
   distinquish early boot userspace processes from the kernel in the
   SELinux policy.

   For most users this will be a non-issue as the policy is loaded early
   enough during boot, but for users who load their SELinux policy
   relatively late, this should make it easier to construct meaningful
   security policies.

 - Cleanups to the selinuxfs code by Al, mostly on VFS related issues
   during a policy reload.

   The commit description has more detail, but the quick summary is that
   we are replacing a disconnected directory approach with a temporary
   directory that we swapover at the end of the reload.

 - Fix an issue where the input sanity checking on socket bind()
   operations was slightly different depending on the presence of
   SELinux.

   This is caused by the placement of the LSM hooks in the generic
   socket layer as opposed to the protocol specific bind() handler where
   the protocol specific sanity checks are performed. Mickaël has
   mentioned that he is working to fix this, but in the meantime we just
   ensure that we are replicating the checks properly.

   We need to balance the placement of the LSM hooks with the number of
   LSM hooks; pushing the hooks down into the protocol layers is likely
   not the right answer.

 - Update the avc_has_perm_noaudit() prototype to better match the
   function definition.

 - Migrate from using partial_name_hash() to full_name_hash() the
   filename transition hash table.

   This improves the quality of the code and has the potential for a
   minor performance bump.

 - Consolidate some open coded SELinux access vector comparisions into a
   single new function, avtab_node_cmp(), and use that instead.

   A small, but nice win for code quality and maintainability.

 - Updated the SELinux MAINTAINERS entry with additional information
   around process, bug reporting, etc.

   We're also updating some of our "official" roles: dropping Eric Paris
   and adding Ondrej as a reviewer.

 - Cleanup the coding style crimes in security/selinux/include.

   While I'm not a fan of code churn, I am pushing for more automated
   code checks that can be done at the developer level and one of the
   obvious things to check for is coding style.

   In an effort to start from a "good" base I'm slowly working through
   our source files cleaning them up with the help of clang-format and
   good ol' fashioned human eyeballs; this has the first batch of these
   changes.

   I've been splitting the changes up per-file to help reduce the impact
   if backports are required (either for LTS or distro kernels), and I
   expect the some of the larger files, e.g. hooks.c and ss/services.c,
   will likely need to be split even further.

 - Cleanup old, outdated comments.

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
 "The audit updates are fairly minor with only two patches:

   - Send an audit ACK to userspace immediately upon receiving an auditd
     registration event as opposed to waiting until the registration has
     been fully processed and the audit backlog starts filling the
     netlink buffers.

     Sending the ACK earlier, as done here, is still safe as the
     operation should not fail at the point when the ACK is done, and
     doing so helps avoid the ACK being dropped in extreme situations.

   - Update the audit MAINTAINERS entry with additional information.

     There isn't anything in this update that should be new to regular
     contributors or list subscribers, but I'm pushing to start
     documenting our processes, conventions, etc. and this seems like an

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

 - SLUB: delayed freezing of CPU partial slabs (Chengming Zhou)

   Freezing is an operation involving double_cmpxchg() that makes a slab
   exclusive for a particular CPU. Chengming noticed that we use it also
   in situations where we are not yet installing the slab as the CPU
   slab, because freezing also indicates that the slab is not on the
   shared list. This results in redundant freeze/unfreeze operation and
   can be avoided by marking separately the shared list presence by
   reusing the PG_workingset flag.

   This approach neatly avoids the issues described in 9b1ea29b
   ("Revert "mm, slub: consider rest of partial list if acquire_slab()
   fails"") as we can now grab a slab from the shared list in a quick
   and guaranteed way without the cmpxchg_double() operation that
   amplifies the lock contention and can fail.

   As a result, lkp has reported 34.2% improvement of
   stress-ng.rawudp.ops_per_sec

 - SLAB removal and SLUB cleanups (Vlastimil Babka)

   The SLAB allocator has been deprecated since 6.5 and nobody has
   objected so far. We agreed at LSF/MM to wait until the next LTS,
   which is 6.6, so we should be good to go now.

   This doesn't yet erase all traces of SLAB outside of mm/ so some dead
   code, comments or documentation remain, and will be cleaned up
   gradually (some series are already in the works).

   Removing the choice of allocators has already allowed to simplify and
   optimize the code wiring up the kmalloc APIs to the SLUB
   implementation.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - Yafang Shao added task_get_cgroup1() helper to enable a similar BPF
   helper so that BPF progs can be more useful on cgroup1 hierarchies.
   While cgroup1 is mostly in maintenance mode, this addition is very
   small while having an outsized usefulness for users who are still on
   cgroup1. Yafang also optimized root cgroup list access by making it
   RCU protected in the process.

 - Waiman Long optimized rstat operation leading to substantially lower
   and more consistent lock hold time while flushing the hierarchical
   statistics. As the lock can be acquired briefly in various hot paths,
   this reduction has cascading benefits.

 - Waiman also improved the quality of isolation for cpuset's isolated
   partitions. CPUs which are allocated to isolated partitions are now
   excluded from running unbound work items and cpu_is_isolated() test
   which is used by vmstat and memcg to reduce interference now includes
   cpuset isolated CPUs. While it isn't there yet, the hope is
   eventually reaching parity with the isolation level provided by the
   `isolcpus` boot param but in a dynamic manner.

Pull vfs cachefiles updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains improvements for on-demand cachefiles.

  If the daemon crashes and the on-demand cachefiles fd is unexpectedly
  closed in-flight requests and subsequent read operations associated
  with the fd will fail with EIO. This causes issues in various
  scenarios as this failure is currently unrecoverable.

  The work contained in this pull request introduces a failover mode and
  enables the daemon to recover in-flight requested-related objects. A
  restarted daemon will be able to process requests as usual.

  This requires that in-flight requests are stored during daemon crash
  or while the daemon is offline. In addition, a handle to
  /dev/cachefiles needs to be stored.

  This can be done by e.g., systemd's fdstore (cf. [1]) which enables
  the restarted daemon to recover state.

  Three new states are introduced in this patchset:

   (1) CLOSE
       Object is closed by the daemon.

   (2) OPEN
       Object is open and ready for processing. IOW, the open request
       has been handled successfully.

   (3) REOPENING
       Object has been previously closed and is now reopened due to a
       read request.

  A restarted daemon can recover the /dev/cachefiles fd from systemd's
  fdstore and writes "restore" to the device. This causes the object
  state to be reset from CLOSE to REOPENING and reinitializes the
  object.

  The daemon may now handle the open request. Any in-flight operations
  are restored and handled avoiding interruptions for users"

Pull vfs rw updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains updates from Amir for read-write backing file helpers
  for stacking filesystems such as overlayfs:

   - Fanotify is currently in the process of introducing pre content
     events. Roughly, a new permission event will be added indicating
     that it is safe to write to the file being accessed. These events
     are used by hierarchical storage managers to e.g., fill the content
     of files on first access.

     During that work we noticed that our current permission checking is
     inconsistent in rw_verify_area() and remap_verify_area().
     Especially in the splice code permission checking is done multiple
     times. For example, one time for the whole range and then again for
     partial ranges inside the iterator.

     In addition, we mostly do permission checking before we call
     file_start_write() except for a few places where we call it after.
     For pre-content events we need such permission checking to be done
     before file_start_write(). So this is a nice reason to clean this
     all up.

     After this series, all permission checking is done before
     file_start_write().

     As part of this cleanup we also massaged the splice code a bit. We
     got rid of a few helpers because we are alredy drowning in special
     read-write helpers. We also cleaned up the return types for splice
     helpers.

   - Introduce generic read-write helpers for backing files. This lifts
     some overlayfs code to common code so it can be used by the FUSE
     passthrough work coming in over the next cycles. Make Amir and
     Miklos the maintainers for this new subsystem of the vfs"

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the work to retrieve detailed information about mounts
  via two new system calls. This is hopefully the beginning of the end
  of the saga that started with fsinfo() years ago.

  The LWN articles in [1] and [2] can serve as a summary so we can avoid
  rehashing everything here.

  At LSFMM in May 2022 we got into a room and agreed on what we want to
  do about fsinfo(). Basically, split it into pieces. This is the first
  part of that agreement. Specifically, it is concerned with retrieving
  information about mounts. So this only concerns the mount information
  retrieval, not the mount table change notification, or the extended
  filesystem specific mount option work. That is separate work.

  Currently mounts have a 32bit id. Mount ids are already in heavy use
  by libmount and other low-level userspace but they can't be relied
  upon because they're recycled very quickly. We agreed that mounts
  should carry a unique 64bit id by which they can be referenced
  directly. This is now implemented as part of this work.

  The new 64bit mount id is exposed in statx() through the new
  STATX_MNT_ID_UNIQUE flag. If the flag isn't raised the old mount id is
  returned. If it is raised and the kernel supports the new 64bit mount
  id the flag is raised in the result mask and the new 64bit mount id is
  returned. New and old mount ids do not overlap so they cannot be
  conflated.

  Two new system calls are introduced that operate on the 64bit mount
  id: statmount() and listmount(). A summary of the api and usage can be
  found on LWN as well (cf. [3]) but of course, I'll provide a summary
  here as well.

  Both system calls rely on struct mnt_id_req. Which is the request
  struct used to pass the 64bit mount id identifying the mount to
  operate on. It is extensible to allow for the addition of new
  parameters and for future use in other apis that make use of mount
  ids.

  statmount() mimicks the semantics of statx() and exposes a set flags
  that userspace may raise in mnt_id_req to request specific information
  to be retrieved. A statmount() call returns a struct statmount filled
  in with information about the requested mount. Supported requests are
  indicated by raising the request flag passed in struct mnt_id_req in
  the @mask argument in struct statmount.

  Currently we do support:

   - STATMOUNT_SB_BASIC:
     Basic filesystem info

   - STATMOUNT_MNT_BASIC
     Mount information (mount id, parent mount id, mount attributes etc)

   - STATMOUNT_PROPAGATE_FROM
     Propagation from what mount in current namespace

   - STATMOUNT_MNT_ROOT
     Path of the root of the mount (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /bla)

   - STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT
     Path of the mount point (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /mnt)

   - STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE
     Name of the filesystem type as the magic number isn't enough due to submounts

  The string options STATMOUNT_MNT_{ROOT,POINT} and STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE
  are appended to the end of the struct. Userspace can use the offsets
  in @fs_type, @mnt_root, and @mnt_point to reference those strings
  easily.

  The struct statmount reserves quite a bit of space currently for
  future extensibility. This isn't really a problem and if this bothers
  us we can just send a follow-up pull request during this cycle.

  listmount() is given a 64bit mount id via mnt_id_req just as
  statmount(). It takes a buffer and a size to return an array of the
  64bit ids of the child mounts of the requested mount. Userspace can
  thus choose to either retrieve child mounts for a mount in batches or
  iterate through the child mounts. For most use-cases it will be
  sufficient to just leave space for a few child mounts. But for big
  mount tables having an iterator is really helpful. Iterating through a
  mount table works by setting @param in mnt_id_req to the mount id of
  the last child mount retrieved in the previous listmount() call"
