It turns out that it breaks booting with an encrypted volume, and Eric
biggers reports that it also breaks the fscrypt tests [1] and loading of
in-kernel X.509 certificates [2].

The root cause of all the breakage is likely the same, but David Howells
is off email so rather than try to work it out it's getting reverted in
order to not impact the rest of the merge window.

<title>keys: Replace uid/gid/perm permissions checking with an ACL</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2e12256b9a76584fa3a6da19210509d4775aee36</id>
<content type='text'>
Replace the uid/gid/perm permissions checking on a key with an ACL to allow
the SETATTR and SEARCH permissions to be split.  This will also allow a
greater range of subjects to represented.

============
WHY DO THIS?
============

The problem is that SETATTR and SEARCH cover a slew of actions, not all of
which should be grouped together.

For SETATTR, this includes actions that are about controlling access to a
key:

 (1) Changing a key's ownership.

 (2) Changing a key's security information.

 (3) Setting a keyring's restriction.

And actions that are about managing a key's lifetime:

 (4) Setting an expiry time.

 (5) Revoking a key.

and (proposed) managing a key as part of a cache:

 (6) Invalidating a key.

Managing a key's lifetime doesn't really have anything to do with
controlling access to that key.

Expiry time is awkward since it's more about the lifetime of the content
and so, in some ways goes better with WRITE permission.  It can, however,
be set unconditionally by a process with an appropriate authorisation token
for instantiating a key, and can also be set by the key type driver when a
key is instantiated, so lumping it with the access-controlling actions is
probably okay.

As for SEARCH permission, that currently covers:

 (1) Finding keys in a keyring tree during a search.

 (2) Permitting keyrings to be joined.

 (3) Invalidation.

But these don't really belong together either, since these actions really
need to be controlled separately.

Finally, there are number of special cases to do with granting the
administrator special rights to invalidate or clear keys that I would like
to handle with the ACL rather than key flags and special checks.


===============
WHAT IS CHANGED
===============

The SETATTR permission is split to create two new permissions:

 (1) SET_SECURITY - which allows the key's owner, group and ACL to be
     changed and a restriction to be placed on a keyring.

 (2) REVOKE - which allows a key to be revoked.

The SEARCH permission is split to create:

 (1) SEARCH - which allows a keyring to be search and a key to be found.

 (2) JOIN - which allows a keyring to be joined as a session keyring.

 (3) INVAL - which allows a key to be invalidated.

The WRITE permission is also split to create:

 (1) WRITE - which allows a key's content to be altered and links to be
     added, removed and replaced in a keyring.

 (2) CLEAR - which allows a keyring to be cleared completely.  This is
     split out to make it possible to give just this to an administrator.

 (3) REVOKE - see above.


Keys acquire ACLs which consist of a series of ACEs, and all that apply are
unioned together.  An ACE specifies a subject, such as:

 (*) Possessor - permitted to anyone who 'possesses' a key
 (*) Owner - permitted to the key owner
 (*) Group - permitted to the key group
 (*) Everyone - permitted to everyone

Note that 'Other' has been replaced with 'Everyone' on the assumption that
you wouldn't grant a permit to 'Other' that you wouldn't also grant to
everyone else.

Further subjects may be made available by later patches.

The ACE also specifies a permissions mask.  The set of permissions is now:

	VIEW		Can view the key metadata
	READ		Can read the key content
	WRITE		Can update/modify the key content
	SEARCH		Can find the key by searching/requesting
	LINK		Can make a link to the key
	SET_SECURITY	Can change owner, ACL, expiry
	INVAL		Can invalidate
	REVOKE		Can revoke
	JOIN		Can join this keyring
	CLEAR		Can clear this keyring


The KEYCTL_SETPERM function is then deprecated.

The KEYCTL_SET_TIMEOUT function then is permitted if SET_SECURITY is set,
or if the caller has a valid instantiation auth token.

The KEYCTL_INVALIDATE function then requires INVAL.

The KEYCTL_REVOKE function then requires REVOKE.

The KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING function then requires JOIN to join an
existing keyring.

The JOIN permission is enabled by default for session keyrings and manually
created keyrings only.


======================
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY
======================

To maintain backward compatibility, KEYCTL_SETPERM will translate the
permissions mask it is given into a new ACL for a key - unless
KEYCTL_SET_ACL has been called on that key, in which case an error will be
returned.

It will convert possessor, owner, group and other permissions into separate
ACEs, if each portion of the mask is non-zero.

SETATTR permission turns on all of INVAL, REVOKE and SET_SECURITY.  WRITE
permission turns on WRITE, REVOKE and, if a keyring, CLEAR.  JOIN is turned
on if a keyring is being altered.

The KEYCTL_DESCRIBE function translates the ACL back into a permissions
mask to return depending on possessor, owner, group and everyone ACEs.

It will make the following mappings:

 (1) INVAL, JOIN -&gt; SEARCH

 (2) SET_SECURITY -&gt; SETATTR

 (3) REVOKE -&gt; WRITE if SETATTR isn't already set

 (4) CLEAR -&gt; WRITE

Note that the value subsequently returned by KEYCTL_DESCRIBE may not match
the value set with KEYCTL_SETATTR.


=======
TESTING
=======

This passes the keyutils testsuite for all but a couple of tests:

 (1) tests/keyctl/dh_compute/badargs: The first wrong-key-type test now
     returns EOPNOTSUPP rather than ENOKEY as READ permission isn't removed
     if the type doesn't have -&gt;read().  You still can't actually read the
     key.

 (2) tests/keyctl/permitting/valid: The view-other-permissions test doesn't
     work as Other has been replaced with Everyone in the ACL.

<content type='text'>
Allow used DNS resolver keys to be invalidated after use if the caller is
doing its own caching of the results.  This reduces the amount of resources
required.

Fix AFS to invalidate DNS results to kill off permanent failure records
that get lodged in the resolver keyring and prevent future lookups from
happening.

<title>dns: Allow the dns resolver to retrieve a server set</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bbb4c4323a4d9cb5ca04db904aa3050a7586839a</id>
<content type='text'>
Allow the DNS resolver to retrieve a set of servers and their associated
addresses, ports, preference and weight ratings.

In terms of communication with userspace, "srv=1" is added to the callout
string (the '1' indicating the maximum data version supported by the
kernel) to ask the userspace side for this.

If the userspace side doesn't recognise it, it will ignore the option and
return the usual text address list.

If the userspace side does recognise it, it will return some binary data
that begins with a zero byte that would cause the string parsers to give an
error.  The second byte contains the version of the data in the blob (this
may be between 1 and the version specified in the callout data).  The
remainder of the payload is version-specific.

In version 1, the payload looks like (note that this is packed):

	u8	Non-string marker (ie. 0)
	u8	Content (0 =&gt; Server list)
	u8	Version (ie. 1)
	u8	Source (eg. DNS_RECORD_FROM_DNS_SRV)
	u8	Status (eg. DNS_LOOKUP_GOOD)
	u8	Number of servers
	foreach-server {
		u16	Name length (LE)
		u16	Priority (as per SRV record) (LE)
		u16	Weight (as per SRV record) (LE)
		u16	Port (LE)
		u8	Source (eg. DNS_RECORD_FROM_NSS)
		u8	Status (eg. DNS_LOOKUP_GOT_NOT_FOUND)
		u8	Protocol (eg. DNS_SERVER_PROTOCOL_UDP)
		u8	Number of addresses
		char[]	Name (not NUL-terminated)
		foreach-address {
			u8		Family (AF_INET{,6})
			union {
				u8[4]	ipv4_addr
				u8[16]	ipv6_addr
			}
		}
	}

This can then be used to fetch a whole cell's VL-server configuration for
AFS, for example.

<id>urn:sha1:4d673da14533b32fe8d3125b5b7be4fea14e39a8</id>
<content type='text'>
Support the AFS dynamic root which is a pseudo-volume that doesn't connect
to any server resource, but rather is just a root directory that
dynamically creates mountpoint directories where the name of such a
directory is the name of the cell.

Such a mount can be created thus:

	mount -t afs none /afs -o dyn

Dynamic root superblocks aren't shared except by bind mounts and
propagation.  Cell root volumes can then be mounted by referring to them by
name, e.g.:

	ls /afs/grand.central.org/
	ls /afs/.grand.central.org/

The kernel will upcall to consult the DNS if the address wasn't supplied
directly.

Pull sched.h split-up from Ingo Molnar:
 "The point of these changes is to significantly reduce the
  &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; header footprint, to speed up the kernel build and to
  have a cleaner header structure.

  After these changes the new &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;'s typical preprocessed
  size goes down from a previous ~0.68 MB (~22K lines) to ~0.45 MB (~15K
  lines), which is around 40% faster to build on typical configs.

  Not much changed from the last version (-v2) posted three weeks ago: I
  eliminated quirks, backmerged fixes plus I rebased it to an upstream
  SHA1 from yesterday that includes most changes queued up in -next plus
  all sched.h changes that were pending from Andrew.

  I've re-tested the series both on x86 and on cross-arch defconfigs,
  and did a bisectability test at a number of random points.

  I tried to test as many build configurations as possible, but some
  build breakage is probably still left - but it should be mostly
  limited to architectures that have no cross-compiler binaries
  available on kernel.org, and non-default configurations"
