Pull security layer updates from James Morris:
- a major update for AppArmor. From JJ:
* several bug fixes and cleanups
* the patch to add symlink support to securityfs that was floated
on the list earlier and the apparmorfs changes that make use of
securityfs symlinks
* it introduces the domain labeling base code that Ubuntu has been
carrying for several years, with several cleanups applied. And it
converts the current mediation over to using the domain labeling
base, which brings domain stacking support with it. This finally
will bring the base upstream code in line with Ubuntu and provide
a base to upstream the new feature work that Ubuntu carries.
* This does _not_ contain any of the newer apparmor mediation
features/controls (mount, signals, network, keys, ...) that
Ubuntu is currently carrying, all of which will be RFC'd on top
of this.
- Notable also is the Infiniband work in SELinux, and the new file:map
permission. From Paul:
"While we're down to 21 patches for v4.13 (it was 31 for v4.12),
the diffstat jumps up tremendously with over 2k of line changes.
Almost all of these changes are the SELinux/IB work done by
Daniel Jurgens; some other noteworthy changes include a NFS v4.2
labeling fix, a new file:map permission, and reporting of policy
capabilities on policy load"
There's also now genfscon labeling support for tracefs, which was
lost in v4.1 with the separation from debugfs.
- Smack incorporates a safer socket check in file_receive, and adds a
cap_capable call in privilege check.
- TPM as usual has a bunch of fixes and enhancements.
- Multiple calls to security_add_hooks() can now be made for the same
LSM, to allow LSMs to have hook declarations across multiple files.
- IMA now supports different "ima_appraise=" modes (eg. log, fix) from
the boot command line.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle were:
- Add the SYSTEM_SCHEDULING bootup state to move various scheduler
debug checks earlier into the bootup. This turns silent and
sporadically deadly bugs into nice, deterministic splats. Fix some
of the splats that triggered. (Thomas Gleixner)
- A round of restructuring and refactoring of the load-balancing and
topology code (Peter Zijlstra)
- Another round of consolidating ~20 of incremental scheduler code
history: this time in terms of wait-queue nomenclature. (I didn't
get much feedback on these renaming patches, and we can still
easily change any names I might have misplaced, so if anyone hates
a new name, please holler and I'll fix it.) (Ingo Molnar)

of making it more robust (Peter Zijlstra)

ASoC: Updates for v4.13
The big news with this release is the of-graph card, this provides a
replacement for simple-card that is much more flexibile and scalable,
allowing many more systems to use a generic sound card than was possible
before:
- The of-graph card, finally merged after a long and dedicated effort
by Morimoto-san.
- New widget types intended mainly for use with DSPs.
- New drivers for Allwinner V3s SoCs, Ensonic ES8316, several classes
of x86 machine, Rockchip PDM controllers, STM32 I2S and S/PDIF
controllers and ZTE AUD96P22 CODECs.

Pull core block/IO updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main pull request for the block layer for 4.13. Not a huge
round in terms of features, but there's a lot of churn related to some
core cleanups.
Note this depends on the UUID tree pull request, that Christoph
already sent out.
This pull request contains:
- A series from Christoph, unifying the error/stats codes in the
block layer. We now use blk_status_t everywhere, instead of using
different schemes for different places.
- Also from Christoph, some cleanups around request allocation and IO
scheduler interactions in blk-mq.
- And yet another series from Christoph, cleaning up how we handle
and do bounce buffering in the block layer.
- A blk-mq debugfs series from Bart, further improving on the support
we have for exporting internal information to aid debugging IO
hangs or stalls.
- Also from Bart, a series that cleans up the request initialization
differences across types of devices.
- A series from Goldwyn Rodrigues, allowing the block layer to return
failure if we will block and the user asked for non-blocking.
- Patch from Hannes for supporting setting loop devices block size to
that of the underlying device.
- Two series of patches from Javier, fixing various issues with
lightnvm, particular around pblk.
- A series from me, adding support for write hints. This comes with
NVMe support as well, so applications can help guide data placement
on flash to improve performance, latencies, and write
amplification.
- A series from Ming, improving and hardening blk-mq support for
stopping/starting and quiescing hardware queues.
- Two pull requests for NVMe updates. Nothing major on the feature
side, but lots of cleanups and bug fixes. From the usual crew.
- A series from Neil Brown, greatly improving the bio rescue set
support. Most notably, this kills the bio rescue work queues, if we
don't really need them.
- Lots of other little bug fixes that are all over the place"

This work adds a helper that can be used to adjust net room of an
skb. The helper is generic and can be further extended in future.
Main use case is for having a programmatic way to add/remove room to
v4/v6 header options along with cls_bpf on egress and ingress hook
of the data path. It reuses most of the infrastructure that we added
for the bpf_skb_change_type() helper which can be used in nat64
translations. Similarly, the helper only takes care of adjusting the
room so that related data is populated and csum adapted out of the
BPF program using it.

ACPI 6.2 defines in section 9.20.7.2 that the OSPM may call a Start
ARS with Flags Bit [1] set upon receiving the 0x81 notification.
Upon receiving the notification, the OSPM may decide to issue
a Start ARS with Flags Bit [1] set to prepare for the retrieval
of existing records and issue the Query ARS Status function to
retrieve the records.
Add support to call a Start ARS from acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify()
with ND_ARS_RETURN_PREV_DATA set when HW_ERROR_SCRUB_ON is not set.

socket's fields (such as IP addresses, ports, etc.). It uses the
existing bpf cgroups infrastructure so the programs can be attached per
cgroup with full inheritance support. The program will be called at
appropriate times to set relevant connections parameters such as buffer
sizes, SYN and SYN-ACK RTOs, etc., based on connection information such
as IP addresses, port numbers, etc.
Alghough there are already 3 mechanisms to set parameters (sysctls,
route metrics and setsockopts), this new mechanism provides some
distinct advantages. Unlike sysctls, it can set parameters per
connection. In contrast to route metrics, it can also use port numbers
and information provided by a user level program. In addition, it could
set parameters probabilistically for evaluation purposes (i.e. do
something different on 10% of the flows and compare results with the
other 90% of the flows). Also, in cases where IPv6 addresses contain
geographic information, the rules to make changes based on the distance
(or RTT) between the hosts are much easier than route metric rules and
can be global. Finally, unlike setsockopt, it oes not require
application changes and it can be updated easily at any time.
Although the bpf cgroup framework already contains a sock related
program type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK), I created the new type
(BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS) beccause the existing type expects to be called
only once during the connections's lifetime. In contrast, the new
program type will be called multiple times from different places in the
network stack code. For example, before sending SYN and SYN-ACKs to set
an appropriate timeout, when the connection is established to set
congestion control, etc. As a result it has "op" field to specify the
type of operation requested.
The purpose of this new program type is to simplify setting connection
parameters, such as buffer sizes, TCP's SYN RTO, etc. For example, it is
easy to use facebook's internal IPv6 addresses to determine if both hosts
of a connection are in the same datacenter. Therefore, it is easy to
write a BPF program to choose a small SYN RTO value when both hosts are
in the same datacenter.
This patch only contains the framework to support the new BPF program
type, following patches add the functionality to set various connection
parameters.
This patch defines a new BPF program type: BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_OPS
and a new bpf syscall command to load a new program of this type:
BPF_PROG_LOAD_SOCKET_OPS.
Two new corresponding structs (one for the kernel one for the user/BPF
program):
/* kernel version */
struct bpf_sock_ops_kern {
struct sock *sk;
__u32 op;
union {
__u32 reply;
__u32 replylong[4];
};
};
/* user version
* Some fields are in network byte order reflecting the sock struct
* Use the bpf_ntohl helper macro in samples/bpf/bpf_endian.h to
* convert them to host byte order.
*/
struct bpf_sock_ops {
__u32 op;
union {
__u32 reply;
__u32 replylong[4];
};
__u32 family;
__u32 remote_ip4; /* In network byte order */
__u32 local_ip4; /* In network byte order */
__u32 remote_ip6[4]; /* In network byte order */
__u32 local_ip6[4]; /* In network byte order */
__u32 remote_port; /* In network byte order */
__u32 local_port; /* In host byte horder */
};
Currently there are two types of ops. The first type expects the BPF
program to return a value which is then used by the caller (or a
negative value to indicate the operation is not supported). The second
type expects state changes to be done by the BPF program, for example
through a setsockopt BPF helper function, and they ignore the return
value.
The reply fields of the bpf_sockt_ops struct are there in case a bpf
program needs to return a value larger than an integer.

Based on a request raised on the sctp devel list, there is a need to
augment the sctp_peeloff operation while specifying the O_CLOEXEC and
O_NONBLOCK flags (simmilar to the socket syscall). Since modifying the
SCTP_SOCKOPT_PEELOFF socket option would break user space ABI for existing
programs, this patch creates a new socket option
SCTP_SOCKOPT_PEELOFF_FLAGS, which accepts a third flags parameter to
allow atomic assignment of the socket descriptor flags.

uapi/linux/a.out.h uses a number of predefined macros that are
deprecated because they're in the application namespace
(e.g. '#ifdef linux' instead of '#ifdef __linux__').
This patch either corrects or just removes them if they are not
applicable to Linux.
The primary reason this is worth bothering to fix, considering how
obsolete a.out binary support is, is that the GCC build process
considers this such a severe error that it will copy the header into a
private directory and change the macro names, which causes future
updates to the header to be masked. This header probably doesn't get
updated very often anymore, but it is the _only_ uapi header that gets
this treatment, so IMHO it is worth patching just to drive that number
all the way to zero.

If NAN interface is created with NL80211_ATTR_SOCKET_OWNER, the socket
that is used to create the interface is used for all NAN operations and
reporting NAN events.
However, it turns out that sending commands and receiving events on
the same socket is not possible in a completely race-free way:
If the socket buffer is overflowed by the events, the command response
will not be sent. In that case the caller will block forever on recv.
Using non-blocking socket for commands is more complicated and still
the command response or ack may not be received.
So, keep unicasting NAN events to the interface creator, but allow
using a different socket for commands.

Define a set of write life time hints:
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_NOT_SET No hint information set
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_NONE No hints about write life time
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_SHORT Data written has a short life time
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_MEDIUM Data written has a medium life time
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_LONG Data written has a long life time
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_EXTREME Data written has an extremely long life time
The intent is for these values to be relative to each other, no
absolute meaning should be attached to these flag names.
Add an fcntl interface for querying these flags, and also for
setting them as well:
F_GET_RW_HINT Returns the read/write hint set on the
underlying inode.
F_SET_RW_HINT Set one of the above write hints on the
underlying inode.
F_GET_FILE_RW_HINT Returns the read/write hint set on the
file descriptor.
F_SET_FILE_RW_HINT Set one of the above write hints on the
file descriptor.
The user passes in a 64-bit pointer to get/set these values, and
the interface returns 0/-1 on success/error.
Sample program testing/implementing basic setting/getting of write
hints is below.
Add support for storing the write life time hint in the inode flags
and in struct file as well, and pass them to the kiocb flags. If
both a file and its corresponding inode has a write hint, then we
use the one in the file, if available. The file hint can be used
for sync/direct IO, for buffered writeback only the inode hint
is available.
This is in preparation for utilizing these hints in the block layer,
to guide on-media data placement.

We have an ioctl to inform the PCM protocol version the running kernel
supports, but there is no way to know which protocol version the
user-space can understand. This lack of information caused headaches
in the past when we tried to extend the ABI. For example, because we
couldn't guarantee the validity of the reserved bytes, we had to
introduce a new ioctl SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS_EXT for assigning a few
new fields in the formerly reserved bits. If we could know that it's
a new alsa-lib, we could assume the availability of the new fields,
thus we could have reused the existing SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS.
In order to improve the ABI extensibility, this patch adds a new ioctl
for user-space to inform its supporting protocol version to the
kernel. By reporting the supported protocol from user-space, the
kernel can judge which feature should be provided and which not.
With the addition of the new ioctl, the PCM protocol version is bumped
to 2.0.14, too. User-space checks the kernel protocol version via
SNDRV_PCM_INFO_PVERSION, then it sets the supported version back via
SNDRV_PCM_INFO_USER_PVERSION.

fscrypt provides facilities to use different encryption algorithms which
are selectable by userspace when setting the encryption policy. Currently,
only AES-256-XTS for file contents and AES-256-CBC-CTS for file names are
implemented. This is a clear case of kernel offers the mechanism and
userspace selects a policy. Similar to what dm-crypt and ecryptfs have.
This patch adds support for using AES-128-CBC for file contents and
AES-128-CBC-CTS for file name encryption. To mitigate watermarking
attacks, IVs are generated using the ESSIV algorithm. While AES-CBC is
actually slightly less secure than AES-XTS from a security point of view,
there is more widespread hardware support. Using AES-CBC gives us the
acceptable performance while still providing a moderate level of security
for persistent storage.
Especially low-powered embedded devices with crypto accelerators such as
CAAM or CESA often only support AES-CBC. Since using AES-CBC over AES-XTS
is basically thought of a last resort, we use AES-128-CBC over AES-256-CBC
since it has less encryption rounds and yields noticeable better
performance starting from a file size of just a few kB.

Currently x86 platforms use the PCM status/control mmaps for
transferring the PCM status and appl_ptr between kernel and
user-spaces. The mmap is a most efficient way of communication, but
it has a drawback per its nature, namely, it can't notify the change
explicitly to kernel.
The lack of appl_ptr update notification is a problem on a few
existing drivers, but it's mostly a small issue and negligible.
However, a new type of driver that uses DSP for a deep buffer
management requires the exact position of appl_ptr for calculating the
buffer prefetch size, and the asynchronous appl_ptr update between
kernel and user-spaces becomes a significant problem for it.
How can we enforce user-space to report the appl_ptr update? The way
is relatively simple. Just by disabling the PCM control mmap, the
user-space is supposed to fall back to the mode using SYNC_PTR ioctl,
and the kernel gets control over that. This fallback mode is used in
all non-x86 platforms as default, and also in the 32bit compatible
model on all platforms including x86. It's been implemented already
over a decade, so we can say it's fairly safe and stably working.
With the help of the knowledge above, this patch introduces a new PCM
info flag SNDRV_PCM_INFO_SYNC_APPLPTR for achieving the appl_ptr sync
from user-space. When a driver sets this flag at open, the PCM status
/ control mmap is disabled, which effectively switches to SYNC_PTR
mode in user-space side.
In this version, both PCM status and control mmaps are disabled
although only the latter, control mmap, is the target. It's because
the current alsa-lib implementation supposes that both status and
control mmaps are always coupled, thus it handles a fatal error when
only one of them fails.
Of course, the disablement of the status/control mmaps may bring a
slight performance overhead. Thus, as of now, this should be used
only for the dedicated devices that deserves.
Note that the disablement of mmap is a sort of workaround. In the
later patch, we'll introduce the way to identify the protocol version
alsa-lib supports, and keep mmap working while the sync_ptr is
performed together.

to query the set of possible virtual SMT modes. This provides a
new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT_POSSIBLE, to provide this
information. The return value is a bitmap of possible modes, with
bit N set if virtual SMT mode 2^N is available. That is, 1 indicates

This adds the new getsockopt(2) option SO_PEERGROUPS on SOL_SOCKET to
retrieve the auxiliary groups of the remote peer. It is designed to
naturally extend SO_PEERCRED. That is, the underlying data is from the
same credentials. Regarding its syntax, it is based on SO_PEERSEC. That
is, if the provided buffer is too small, ERANGE is returned and @optlen
is updated. Otherwise, the information is copied, @optlen is set to the
actual size, and 0 is returned.
While SO_PEERCRED (and thus `struct ucred') already returns the primary
group, it lacks the auxiliary group vector. However, nearly all access
controls (including kernel side VFS and SYSVIPC, but also user-space
polkit, DBus, ...) consider the entire set of groups, rather than just
the primary group. But this is currently not possible with pure
SO_PEERCRED. Instead, user-space has to work around this and query the
system database for the auxiliary groups of a UID retrieved via
SO_PEERCRED.
Unfortunately, there is no race-free way to query the auxiliary groups
of the PID/UID retrieved via SO_PEERCRED. Hence, the current user-space
solution is to use getgrouplist(3p), which itself falls back to NSS and
whatever is configured in nsswitch.conf(3). This effectively checks
which groups we *would* assign to the user if it logged in *now*. On
normal systems it is as easy as reading /etc/group, but with NSS it can
resort to quering network databases (eg., LDAP), using IPC or network
communication.
Long story short: Whenever we want to use auxiliary groups for access
checks on IPC, we need further IPC to talk to the user/group databases,
rather than just relying on SO_PEERCRED and the incoming socket. This
is unfortunate, and might even result in dead-locks if the database
query uses the same IPC as the original request.
So far, those recursions / dead-locks have been avoided by using
primitive IPC for all crucial NSS modules. However, we want to avoid
re-inventing the wheel for each NSS module that might be involved in
user/group queries. Hence, we would preferably make DBus (and other IPC
that supports access-management based on groups) work without resorting
to the user/group database. This new SO_PEERGROUPS ioctl would allow us
to make dbus-daemon work without ever calling into NSS.
