commit 31051c85b5e2aaaf6315f74c72a732673632a905 upstream.

inode_change_ok() will be resposible for clearing capabilities and IMA
extended attributes and as such will need dentry. Give it as an argument
to inode_change_ok() instead of an inode. Also rename inode_change_ok()
to setattr_prepare() to better relect that it does also some
modifications in addition to checks.

This reverts commit be9df699432235753c3824b0f5a27d46de7fdc9e, which was
commit 31051c85b5e2aaaf6315f74c72a732673632a905 upstream.  The backport
breaks fuse and makes a mess of xfs, which can be improved by picking
further upstream commits as I should have done in the first place.

commit b8612e517c3c9809e1200b72c474dbfd969e5a83 upstream.

Signing a module should only make it trusted by the specific kernel it
was built for, not anything else.  If a module signing key is used for
multiple ABI-incompatible kernels, the modules need to include enough
version information to distinguish them.

<title>scsi: fix race between simultaneous decrements of -&gt;host_failed</title>

commit 72d8c36ec364c82bf1bf0c64dfa1041cfaf139f7 upstream.

sas_ata_strategy_handler() adds the works of the ata error handler to
system_unbound_wq. This workqueue asynchronously runs work items, so the
ata error handler will be performed concurrently on different CPUs. In
this case, -&gt;host_failed will be decreased simultaneously in
scsi_eh_finish_cmd() on different CPUs, and become abnormal.

It will lead to permanently inequality between -&gt;host_failed and
-&gt;host_busy, and scsi error handler thread won't start running. IO
errors after that won't be handled.

Since all scmds must have been handled in the strategy handler, just
remove the decrement in scsi_eh_finish_cmd() and zero -&gt;host_busy after
the strategy handler to fix this race.

Commit 834392a7d92677ff ("serial: doc: Un-document non-existing
uart_write_console()") removed a paragraph about a helper function that
seemed to never exist.

Peter Hurley pointed out that the function does exist, but is called
differently. Re-add the paragraph, with the function name corrected.

commit ed8b0de5a33d2a2557dce7f9429dca8cb5bc5879 upstream.

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.

These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.

We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.
