[ Upstream commit d4880868670198df321627a949e7b7f2d76cf54e ]

This continues the effort to refactor workqueue APIs, which began with
the introduction of new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag in:

   commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
   commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")

The refactoring is going to alter the default behavior of
alloc_workqueue() to be unbound by default.

With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU. For more details see the Link tag below.

In order to keep alloc_workqueue() behavior identical, explicitly request
WQ_PERCPU.

<title>dm log userspace: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy</title>

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.

`lc` is already zero-allocated:
|       lc = kzalloc(sizeof(*lc), GFP_KERNEL);
... as such, any future NUL-padding is superfluous.

A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it
guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without
unnecessarily NUL-padding.

Let's also go with the more idiomatic `dest, src, sizeof(dest)` pattern
for destination buffers that the compiler can calculate the size for.

<title>dm: update target status functions to support IMA measurement</title>

<id>8ec456629d0bf051e41ef2c87a60755f941dd11c</id>
<content type='text'>
For device mapper targets to take advantage of IMA's measurement
capabilities, the status functions for the individual targets need to be
updated to handle the status_type_t case for value STATUSTYPE_IMA.

Update status functions for the following target types, to log their
respective attributes to be measured using IMA.
 01. cache
 02. crypt
 03. integrity
 04. linear
 05. mirror
 06. multipath
 07. raid
 08. snapshot
 09. striped
 10. verity

For rest of the targets, handle the STATUSTYPE_IMA case by setting the
measurement buffer to NULL.

For IMA to measure the data on a given system, the IMA policy on the
system needs to be updated to have the following line, and the system
needs to be restarted for the measurements to take effect.

/etc/ima/ima-policy
 measure func=CRITICAL_DATA label=device-mapper template=ima-buf

The measurements will be reflected in the IMA logs, which are located at:

/sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements
/sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/binary_runtime_measurements

These IMA logs can later be consumed by various attestation clients
running on the system, and send them to external services for attesting
the system.

The DM target data measured by IMA subsystem can alternatively
be queried from userspace by setting DM_IMA_MEASUREMENT_FLAG with
DM_TABLE_STATUS_CMD.

Remove DM's unneeded NULL tests before calling these destroy functions,
now that they check for NULL, thanks to these v4.3 commits:
3942d2991 ("mm/slab_common: allow NULL cache pointer in kmem_cache_destroy()")
4e3ca3e03 ("mm/mempool: allow NULL `pool' pointer in mempool_destroy()")

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;

-if (x != NULL)
  \(kmem_cache_destroy\|mempool_destroy\|dma_pool_destroy\)(x);

This fixes up a compile warning [-Wunused-but-set-variable] - given the
comment in userspace_set_region_sync() the non-reporting of errors is
intentional so the return value can be dropped to make gcc happy.

Also, fix typo in comment.
