Pull integrity updates from Mimi Zohar:
 "The major feature in this time is IMA support for measuring and
  appraising appended file signatures. In addition are a couple of bug
  fixes and code cleanup to use struct_size().

  In addition to the PE/COFF and IMA xattr signatures, the kexec kernel
  image may be signed with an appended signature, using the same
  scripts/sign-file tool that is used to sign kernel modules.

  Similarly, the initramfs may contain an appended signature.

  This contained a lot of refactoring of the existing appended signature
  verification code, so that IMA could retain the existing framework of
  calculating the file hash once, storing it in the IMA measurement list
  and extending the TPM, verifying the file's integrity based on a file
  hash or signature (eg. xattrs), and adding an audit record containing
  the file hash, all based on policy. (The IMA support for appended
  signatures patch set was posted and reviewed 11 times.)

  The support for appended signature paves the way for adding other
  signature verification methods, such as fs-verity, based on a single
  system-wide policy. The file hash used for verifying the signature and
  the signature, itself, can be included in the IMA measurement list"

  ima: ima_api: Use struct_size() in kzalloc()

<content type='text'>
Define new "d-modsig" template field which holds the digest that is
expected to match the one contained in the modsig, and also new "modsig"
template field which holds the appended file signature.

Add a new "ima-modsig" defined template descriptor with the new fields as
well as the ones from the "ima-sig" descriptor.

Change ima_store_measurement() to accept a struct modsig * argument so that
it can be passed along to the templates via struct ima_event_data.

This reverts merge 0f75ef6a9cff49ff612f7ce0578bced9d0b38325 (and thus
effectively commits

   7a1ade847596 ("keys: Provide KEYCTL_GRANT_PERMISSION")
   2e12256b9a76 ("keys: Replace uid/gid/perm permissions checking with an ACL")

that the merge brought in).

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.

Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "It's been a relatively busy cycle for docs:

   - A fair pile of RST conversions, many from Mauro. These create more
     than the usual number of simple but annoying merge conflicts with
     other trees, unfortunately. He has a lot more of these waiting on
     the wings that, I think, will go to you directly later on.

   - A new document on how to use merges and rebases in kernel repos,
     and one on Spectre vulnerabilities.

   - Various improvements to the build system, including automatic
     markup of function() references because some people, for reasons I
     will never understand, were of the opinion that
     :c:func:``function()`` is unattractive and not fun to type.

   - We now recommend using sphinx 1.7, but still support back to 1.4.

   - Lots of smaller improvements, warning fixes, typo fixes, etc"

Pull integrity updates from Mimi Zohar:
 "Bug fixes, code clean up, and new features:

   - IMA policy rules can be defined in terms of LSM labels, making the
     IMA policy dependent on LSM policy label changes, in particular LSM
     label deletions. The new environment, in which IMA-appraisal is
     being used, frequently updates the LSM policy and permits LSM label
     deletions.

   - Prevent an mmap'ed shared file opened for write from also being
     mmap'ed execute. In the long term, making this and other similar
     changes at the VFS layer would be preferable.

   - The IMA per policy rule template format support is needed for a
     couple of new/proposed features (eg. kexec boot command line
     measurement, appended signatures, and VFS provided file hashes).

   - Other than the "boot-aggregate" record in the IMA measuremeent
     list, all other measurements are of file data. Measuring and
     storing the kexec boot command line in the IMA measurement list is
     the first buffer based measurement included in the measurement
     list"
