Pull x86 SEV updates from Borislav Petkov: - Add the necessary glue so that the kernel can run as a confidential SEV-SNP vTOM guest on Hyper-V. A vTOM guest basically splits the address space in two parts: encrypted and unencrypted. The use case being running unmodified guests on the Hyper-V confidential computing hypervisor - Double-buffer messages between the guest and the hardware PSP device so that no partial buffers are copied back'n'forth and thus potential message integrity and leak attacks are possible - Name the return value the sev-guest driver returns when the hw PSP device hasn't been called, explicitly - Cleanups * tag 'x86_sev_for_v6.4_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/hyperv: Change vTOM handling to use standard coco mechanisms init: Call mem_encrypt_init() after Hyper-V hypercall init is done x86/mm: Handle decryption/re-encryption of bss_decrypted consistently Drivers: hv: Explicitly request decrypted in vmap_pfn() calls x86/hyperv: Reorder code to facilitate future work x86/ioremap: Add hypervisor callback for private MMIO mapping in coco VM x86/sev: Change snp_guest_issue_request()'s fw_err argument virt/coco/sev-guest: Double-buffer messages crypto: ccp: Get rid of __sev_platform_init_locked()'s local function pointer crypto: ccp - Name -1 return value as SEV_RET_NO_FW_CALL

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" * tag 'erofs-for-6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofs: erofs: cleanup i_format-related stuffs erofs: sunset erofs_dbg() erofs: fix potential overflow calculating xattr_isize erofs: get rid of z_erofs_fill_inode() erofs: enable long extended attribute name prefixes erofs: handle long xattr name prefixes properly erofs: add helpers to load long xattr name prefixes erofs: introduce on-disk format for long xattr name prefixes erofs: move packed inode out of the compression part erofs: keep meta inode into erofs_buf erofs: initialize packed inode after root inode is assigned erofs: stop parsing non-compact HEAD index if clusterofs is invalid erofs: don't warn ztailpacking feature anymore erofs: simplify erofs_xattr_generic_get() erofs: rename init_inode_xattrs with erofs_ prefix erofs: move several xattr helpers into xattr.c erofs: tidy up EROFS on-disk naming erofs: support flattened block device for multi-blob images erofs: set block size to the on-disk block size erofs: avoid hardcoded blocksize for subpage block support

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "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)" * tag 'v6.4/vfs.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: hfsplus: remove WARN_ON() from hfsplus_cat_{read,write}_inode() pnode: pass mountpoint directly eventfd: use wait_event_interruptible_locked_irq() helper splice: report related fsnotify events fs: consolidate duplicate dt_type helpers nfs: use vfs setgid helper Update relatime comments to include equality fs/buffer: Remove redundant assignment to err fs_context: drop the unused lsm_flags member fs/namespace: fnic: Switch to use %ptTd Documentation: update idmappings.rst devpts: simplify two-level sysctl registration for pty_kern_table eventpoll: align comment with nested epoll limitation

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" * tag 'v6.4/vfs.acl' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: acl: don't depend on IOP_XATTR ovl: check for ->listxattr() support reiserfs: rework priv inode handling fs: rename generic posix acl handlers reiserfs: rework ->listxattr() implementation fs: simplify ->listxattr() implementation fs: drop unused posix acl handlers xattr: remove unused argument xattr: add listxattr helper xattr: simplify listxattr helpers

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()" * tag 'v6.4/pidfd.file' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: fanotify: use pidfd_prepare() fork: use pidfd_prepare() pid: add pidfd_prepare()

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" * tag 'v6.4/kernel.user_worker' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: vhost: use vhost_tasks for worker threads vhost: move worker thread fields to new struct vhost_task: Allow vhost layer to use copy_process fork: allow kernel code to call copy_process fork: Add kernel_clone_args flag to ignore signals fork: add kernel_clone_args flag to not dup/clone files fork/vm: Move common PF_IO_WORKER behavior to new flag kernel: Make io_thread and kthread bit fields kthread: Pass in the thread's name during creation kernel: Allow a kernel thread's name to be set in copy_process csky: Remove kernel_thread declaration

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. * tag 'lsm-pr-20230420' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/lsm: (32 commits) reiserfs: Add security prefix to xattr name in reiserfs_security_write() security: Remove security_old_inode_init_security() ocfs2: Switch to security_inode_init_security() reiserfs: Switch to security_inode_init_security() security: Remove integrity from the LSM list in Kconfig Revert "integrity: double check iint_cache was initialized" security: Introduce LSM_ORDER_LAST and set it for the integrity LSM device_cgroup: Fix typo in devcgroup_css_alloc description lsm: fix a badly named parameter in security_get_getsecurity() lsm: fix doc warnings in the LSM hook comments lsm: styling fixes to security/security.c lsm: move the remaining LSM hook comments to security/security.c lsm: move the io_uring hook comments to security/security.c lsm: move the perf hook comments to security/security.c lsm: move the bpf hook comments to security/security.c lsm: move the audit hook comments to security/security.c lsm: move the binder hook comments to security/security.c lsm: move the sysv hook comments to security/security.c lsm: move the key hook comments to security/security.c lsm: move the xfrm hook comments to security/security.c ...

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. * tag 'selinux-pr-20230420' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/selinux: selinux: ensure av_permissions.h is built when needed selinux: fix Makefile dependencies of flask.h selinux: stop returning node from avc_insert() selinux: clean up dead code after removing runtime disable selinux: update the file list in MAINTAINERS selinux: remove the runtime disable functionality selinux: remove the 'checkreqprot' functionality selinux: stop passing selinux_state pointers and their offspring selinux: uninline unlikely parts of avc_has_perm_noaudit()

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

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) dtc/include-prefixes/arm64/qcom/sm6350.dtsi:#include <dt-bindings/interconnect/qcom,icc.h> Fixes: 95207db8 ("Remove Intel compiler support") Signed-off-by: Ruihan Li <lrh2000@pku.edu.cn> Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
