      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%.

      scripts: Remove ICC-related dead code · 1a261a6e
      Ruihan Li authored
      Intel compiler support has already been completely removed in commit
      95207db8 ("Remove Intel compiler support").  However, it appears
      that there is still some ICC-related code in scripts/cc-version.sh.
      There is no harm in leaving the code as it is, but removing the dead
      code makes the codebase a bit cleaner.
      
      Hopefully all ICC-related stuff in the build scripts will be removed
      after this commit, given the grep output as below:
      
      	(linux/scripts) $ grep -i -w -R 'icc'
      	cc-version.sh:ICC)
      	cc-version.sh:	min_version=$($min_tool_version icc)
