<content type='text'>
Atomic policy updaters are not very useful as they cannot
usually perform the policy updates on their own. Since it
seems that there is no strict need for the atomicity,
switch to the blocking variant. While doing so, rename
the functions accordingly.

Pull mount ABI updates from Al Viro:
 "The syscalls themselves, finally.

  That's not all there is to that stuff, but switching individual
  filesystems to new methods is fortunately independent from everything
  else, so e.g. NFS series can go through NFS tree, etc.

  As those conversions get done, we'll be finally able to get rid of a
  bunch of duplication in fs/super.c introduced in the beginning of the
  entire thing. I expect that to be finished in the next window..."

<title>LSM: add new hook for kernfs node initialization</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b230d5aba2d1a7b0636408889a75bf9eae6b8bc7</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduces a new security hook that is intended for
initializing the security data for newly created kernfs nodes, which
provide a way of storing a non-default security context, but need to
operate independently from mounts (and therefore may not have an
associated inode at the moment of creation).

The main motivation is to allow kernfs nodes to inherit the context of
the parent under SELinux, similar to the behavior of
security_inode_init_security(). Other LSMs may implement their own logic
for handling the creation of new nodes.

This patch also adds helper functions to &lt;linux/kernfs.h&gt; for
getting/setting security xattrs of a kernfs node so that LSMs hooks are
able to do their job. Other important attributes should be accessible
direcly in the kernfs_node fields (in case there is need for more, then
new helpers should be added to kernfs.h along with the patch that needs
them).

Add a move_mount() system call that will move a mount from one place to
another and, in the next commit, allow to attach an unattached mount tree.

The new system call looks like the following:

	int move_mount(int from_dfd, const char *from_path,
		       int to_dfd, const char *to_path,
		       unsigned int flags);

Pull vfs mount infrastructure updates from Al Viro:
 "The rest of core infrastructure; no new syscalls in that pile, but the
  old parts are switched to new infrastructure. At that point
  conversions of individual filesystems can happen independently; some
  are done here (afs, cgroup, procfs, etc.), there's also a large series
  outside of that pile dealing with NFS (quite a bit of option-parsing
  stuff is getting used there - it's one of the most convoluted
  filesystems in terms of mount-related logics), but NFS bits are the
  next cycle fodder.

  It got seriously simplified since the last cycle; documentation is
  probably the weakest bit at the moment - I considered dropping the
  commit introducing Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt (cutting
  the size increase by quarter ;-), but decided that it would be better
  to fix it up after -rc1 instead.

  That pile allows to do followup work in independent branches, which
  should make life much easier for the next cycle. fs/super.c size
  increase is unpleasant; there's a followup series that allows to
  shrink it considerably, but I decided to leave that until the next
  cycle"

 "A lucky 13 audit patches for v5.1.

  Despite the rather large diffstat, most of the changes are from two
  bug fix patches that move code from one Kconfig option to another.

  Beyond that bit of churn, the remaining changes are largely cleanups
  and bug-fixes as we slowly march towards container auditing. It isn't
  all boring though, we do have a couple of new things: file
  capabilities v3 support, and expanded support for filtering on
  filesystems to solve problems with remote filesystems.

  All changes pass the audit-testsuite.  Please merge for v5.1"

<id>urn:sha1:da2441fdffbf7602da702aea5bd95ca4dc3d63fc</id>
<content type='text'>
Add LSM hooks for use by the new mount API and filesystem context code.
This includes:

 (1) Hooks to handle allocation, duplication and freeing of the security
     record attached to a filesystem context.

 (2) A hook to snoop source specifications.  There may be multiple of these
     if the filesystem supports it.  They will to be local files/devices if
     fs_context::source_is_dev is true and will be something else, possibly
     remote server specifications, if false.

 (3) A hook to snoop superblock configuration options in key[=val] form.
     If the LSM decides it wants to handle it, it can suppress the option
     being passed to the filesystem.  Note that 'val' may include commas
     and binary data with the fsopen patch.

 (4) A hook to perform validation and allocation after the configuration
     has been done but before the superblock is allocated and set up.

 (5) A hook to transfer the security from the context to a newly created
     superblock.

 (6) A hook to rule on whether a path point can be used as a mountpoint.

These are intended to replace:

	security_sb_copy_data
	security_sb_kern_mount
	security_sb_mount
	security_sb_set_mnt_opts
	security_sb_clone_mnt_opts
	security_sb_parse_opts_str

[AV -- some of the methods being replaced are already gone, some of the
methods are not added for the lack of need]

<content type='text'>
The audit_rule_match() struct audit_context *actx parameter is not used
by any in-tree consumers (selinux, apparmour, integrity, smack).

The audit context is an internal audit structure that should only be
accessed by audit accessor functions.

It was part of commit 03d37d25e0f9 ("LSM/Audit: Introduce generic
Audit LSM hooks") but appears to have never been used.

Remove it.
