      Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
       "In this cycle, sub-page block support for uncompressed files is
        available. It's mainly used to enable original signing ('golden')
        4k-block images on arm64 with 16/64k pages. In addition, end users
        could also use this feature to build a manifest to directly refer to
        golden tar data.
      
        Besides, long xattr name prefix support is also introduced in this
        cycle to avoid too many xattrs with the same prefix (e.g. overlayfs
        xattrs). It's useful for erofs + overlayfs combination (like Composefs
        model): the image size is reduced by ~14% and runtime performance is
        also slightly improved.
      
        Others are random fixes and cleanups as usual.
      
        Summary:
      
         - Add sub-page block size support for uncompressed files
      
         - Support flattened block device for multi-blob images to be attached
           into virtual machines (including cloud servers) and bare metals
      
         - Support long xattr name prefixes to optimize images with common
           xattr namespaces (e.g. files with overlayfs xattrs) use cases
      
         - Various minor cleanups & fixes"

       "This contains a pile of various smaller fixes. Most of them aren't
        very interesting so this just highlights things worth mentioning:
      
         - Various filesystems contained the same little helper to convert
           from the mode of a dentry to the DT_* type of that dentry.
      
           They have now all been switched to rely on the generic
           fs_umode_to_dtype() helper. All custom helpers are removed (Jeff)
      
         - Fsnotify now reports ACCESS and MODIFY events for splice
           (Chung-Chiang Cheng)
      
         - After converting timerfd a long time ago to rely on
           wait_event_interruptible_*() apis, convert eventfd as well. This
           removes the complex open-coded wait code (Wen Yang)
      
         - Simplify sysctl registration for devpts, avoiding the declaration
           of two tables. Instead, just use a prefixed path with
           register_sysctl() (Luis)
      
         - The setattr_should_drop_sgid() helper is now exported so NFS can
           use it. By switching NFS to this helper an NFS setgid inheritance
           bug is fixed (me)"

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull acl updates from Christian Brauner:
       "After finishing the introduction of the new posix acl api last cycle
        the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers are still around in the
        filesystems xattr handlers for two reasons:
      
         (1) Because a few filesystems rely on the ->list() method of the
             generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers in their ->listxattr() inode
             operation.
      
         (2) POSIX ACLs are only available if IOP_XATTR is raised. The
             IOP_XATTR flag is raised in inode_init_always() based on whether
             the sb->s_xattr pointer is non-NULL. IOW, the registered xattr
             handlers of the filesystem are used to raise IOP_XATTR. Removing
             the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers from all filesystems would
             risk regressing filesystems that only implement POSIX ACL support
             and no other xattrs (nfs3 comes to mind).
      
        This contains the work to decouple POSIX ACLs from the IOP_XATTR flag
        as they don't depend on xattr handlers anymore. So it's now possible
        to remove the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers from the sb->s_xattr
        list of all filesystems. This is a crucial step as the generic POSIX
        ACL xattr handlers aren't used for POSIX ACLs anymore and POSIX ACLs
        don't depend on the xattr infrastructure anymore.
      
        Adressing problem (1) will require more long-term work. It would be
        best to get rid of the ->list() method of xattr handlers completely at
        some point.
      
        For erofs, ext{2,4}, f2fs, jffs2, ocfs2, and reiserfs the nop POSIX
        ACL xattr handler is kept around so they can continue to use
        array-based xattr handler indexing.
      
        This update does simplify the ->listxattr() implementation of all
        these filesystems however"

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner:
       "This adds a new pidfd_prepare() helper which allows the caller to
        reserve a pidfd number and allocates a new pidfd file that stashes the
        provided struct pid.
      
        It should be avoided installing a file descriptor into a task's file
        descriptor table just to close it again via close_fd() in case an
        error occurs. The fd has been visible to userspace and might already
        be in use. Instead, a file descriptor should be reserved but not
        installed into the caller's file descriptor table.
      
        If another failure path is hit then the reserved file descriptor and
        file can just be put without any userspace visible side-effects. And
        if all failure paths are cleared the file descriptor and file can be
        installed into the task's file descriptor table.
      
        This helper is now used in all places that open coded this
        functionality before. For example, this is currently done during
        copy_process() and fanotify used pidfd_create(), which returns a pidfd
        that has already been made visibile in the caller's file descriptor
        table, but then closed it using close_fd().
      
        In one of the next merge windows there is also new functionality
        coming to unix domain sockets that will have to rely on
        pidfd_prepare()"

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull user work thread updates from Christian Brauner:
       "This contains the work generalizing the ability to create a kernel
        worker from a userspace process.
      
        Such user workers will run with the same credentials as the userspace
        process they were created from providing stronger security and
        accounting guarantees than the traditional override_creds() approach
        ever could've hoped for.
      
        The original work was heavily based and optimzed for the needs of
        io_uring which was the first user. However, as it quickly turned out
        the ability to create user workers inherting properties from a
        userspace process is generally useful.
      
        The vhost subsystem currently creates workers using the kthread api.
        The consequences of using the kthread api are that RLIMITs don't work
        correctly as they are inherited from khtreadd. This leads to bugs
        where more workers are created than would be allowed by the RLIMITs of
        the userspace process in lieu of which workers are created.
      
        Problems like this disappear with user workers created from the
        userspace processes for which they perform the work. In addition,
        providing this api allows vhost to remove additional complexity. For
        example, cgroup and mm sharing will just work out of the box with user
        workers based on the relevant userspace process instead of manually
        ensuring the correct cgroup and mm contexts are used.
      
        So the vhost subsystem should simply be made to use the same mechanism
        as io_uring. To this end the original mechanism used for
        create_io_thread() is generalized into user workers:
      
         - Introduce PF_USER_WORKER as a generic indicator that a given task
           is a user worker, i.e., a kernel task that was created from a
           userspace process. Now a PF_IO_WORKER thread is just a specialized
           version of PF_USER_WORKER. So io_uring io workers raise both flags.
      
         - Make copy_process() available to core kernel code
      
         - Extend struct kernel_clone_args with the following bitfields
           allowing to indicate to copy_process():
             - to create a user worker (raise PF_USER_WORKER)
             - to not inherit any files from the userspace process
             - to ignore signals
      
        After all generic changes are in place the vhost subsystem implements
        a new dedicated vhost api based on user workers. Finally, vhost is
        switched to rely on the new api moving it off of kthreads.
      
        Thanks to Mike for sticking it out and making it through this rather
        arduous journey"

      Pull RCU updates from Joel Fernandes:
      
       - Updates and additions to MAINTAINERS files, with Boqun being added to
         the RCU entry and Zqiang being added as an RCU reviewer.
      
         I have also transitioned from reviewer to maintainer; however, Paul
         will be taking over sending RCU pull-requests for the next merge
         window.
      
       - Resolution of hotplug warning in nohz code, achieved by fixing
         cpu_is_hotpluggable() through interaction with the nohz subsystem.
      
         Tick dependency modifications by Zqiang, focusing on fixing usage of
         the TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP bitmask.
      
       - Avoid needless calls to the rcu-lazy shrinker for CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=n
         kernels, fixed by Zqiang.
      
       - Improvements to rcu-tasks stall reporting by Neeraj.
      
       - Initial renaming of k[v]free_rcu() to k[v]free_rcu_mightsleep() for
         increased robustness, affecting several components like mac802154,
         drbd, vmw_vmci, tracing, and more.
      
         A report by Eric Dumazet showed that the API could be unknowingly
         used in an atomic context, so we'd rather make sure they know what
         they're asking for by being explicit:
      
            https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221202052847.2623997-1-edumazet@google.com/
      
       - Documentation updates, including corrections to spelling,
         clarifications in comments, and improvements to the srcu_size_state
         comments.
      
       - Better srcu_struct cache locality for readers, by adjusting the size
         of srcu_struct in support of SRCU usage by Christoph Hellwig.
      
       - Teach lockdep to detect deadlocks between srcu_read_lock() vs
         synchronize_srcu() contributed by Boqun.
      
         Previously lockdep could not detect such deadlocks, now it can.
      
       - Integration of rcutorture and rcu-related tools, targeted for v6.4
         from Boqun's tree, featuring new SRCU deadlock scenarios, test_nmis
         module parameter, and more
      
       - Miscellaneous changes, various code cleanups and comment improvements

      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
         single xattr which is problematic both for LSM stacking and the
         IMA/EVM-as-a-LSM effort. This finishes the conversion over to the
         security_inode_init_security() hook and removes the single-xattr LSM
         hook.
      
       - Fix a reiserfs problem with security xattrs
      
         During the security_old_inode_init_security() removal work it became
         clear that reiserfs wasn't handling security xattrs properly so we
         fixed it.

      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.

      Merge branch 'x86-rep-insns': x86 user copy clarifications · a5624566
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Merge my x86 user copy updates branch.
      
      This cleans up a lot of our x86 memory copy code, particularly for user
      accesses.  I've been pushing for microarchitectural support for good
      memory copying and clearing for a long while, and it's been visible in
      how the kernel has aggressively used 'rep movs' and 'rep stos' whenever
      possible.
      
      And that micro-architectural support has been improving over the years,
      to the point where on modern CPU's the best option for a memory copy
      that would become a function call (as opposed to being something that
      can just be turned into individual 'mov' instructions) is now to inline
      the string instruction sequence instead.
      
      However, that only makes sense when we have the modern markers for this:
      the x86 FSRM and FSRS capabilities ("Fast Short REP MOVS/STOS").
      
      So this cleans up a lot of our historical code, gets rid of the legacy
      marker use ("REP_GOOD" and "ERMS") from the memcpy/memset cases, and
      replaces it with that modern reality.  Note that REP_GOOD and ERMS end
      up still being used by the known large cases (ie page copyin gand
      clearing).
      
      The reason much of this ends up being about user memory accesses is that
      the normal in-kernel cases are done by the compiler (__builtin_memcpy()
      and __builtin_memset()) and getting to the point where we can use our
      instruction rewriting to inline those to be string instructions will
      need some compiler support.
      
      In contrast, the user accessor functions are all entirely controlled by
      the kernel code, so we can change those arbitrarily.
      
      Thanks to Borislav Petkov for feedback on the series, and Jens testing
      some of this on micro-architectures I didn't personally have access to.
      
      * x86-rep-insns:
        x86: rewrite '__copy_user_nocache' function
        x86: remove 'zerorest' argument from __copy_user_nocache()
        x86: set FSRS automatically on AMD CPUs that have FSRM
        x86: improve on the non-rep 'copy_user' function
        x86: improve on the non-rep 'clear_user' function
        x86: inline the 'rep movs' in user copies for the FSRM case
        x86: move stac/clac from user copy routines into callers
        x86: don't use REP_GOOD or ERMS for user memory clearing
        x86: don't use REP_GOOD or ERMS for user memory copies
        x86: don't use REP_GOOD or ERMS for small memory clearing
        x86: don't use REP_GOOD or ERMS for small memory copies

      iov: improve copy_iovec_from_user() code generation · 487c20b0
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Use the same pattern as the compat version of this code does: instead of
      copying the whole array to a kernel buffer and then having a separate
      phase of verifying it, just do it one entry at a time, verifying as you
      go.
      
      On Jens' /dev/zero readv() test this improves performance by ~6%.
