commit 65dfde57d1e29ce2b76fc23dd565eccd5c0bc0f0 upstream.
The function calculates new_len as len << 1 for hex encoding. This
has two overflow risks: the shift itself can overflow when len is
large, and the result can be truncated when assigned to new_len
(declared as int) from the size_t calculation.
Fix by using check_shl_overflow() to catch shift overflow and
changing new_len and loop counter i to size_t to prevent truncation.

commit c9a71daaecb2fb1d8c704545cc0b1c920b9bf5d7 upstream.
Multiple readers access audit_queue.qlen via skb_queue_len() without
holding the queue lock or using READ_ONCE(), while kauditd writes to
this field via the skb_dequeue() → __skb_unlink() path with WRITE_ONCE()
protected by a spinlock. This constitutes data races.
All affected skb_queue_len(&audit_queue) call sites:
- kauditd_thread() wait_event_freezable() condition
- audit_receive_msg() AUDIT_GET handler (s.backlog assignment)
- audit_receive() backlog check
- audit_log_start() backlog check and pr_warn()
KCSAN reports the following conflicting access pattern (one example):

Resolve the race by switching to lockless helper skb_queue_len_lockless(),
which internally uses READ_ONCE() and properly pairs with the WRITE_ONCE()
write accesses already present on the writer side.

AUDIT_ADD_RULE and AUDIT_DEL_RULE correctly check for AUDIT_LOCKED and return -EPERM, but AUDIT_TRIM and AUDIT_MAKE_EQUIV do not. This allows a process with CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL to modify directory tree watches and equivalence mappings even when the audit configuration has been locked, undermining the purpose of the lock. Add AUDIT_LOCKED checks to both commands.

Currently, audit_receive_msg() ignores unknown status bits in AUDIT_SET requests, incorrectly returning success to newer user space tools querying unsupported features. This breaks forward compatibility. Fix this by defining AUDIT_STATUS_ALL and returning -EINVAL if any unrecognized bits are set (s.mask & ~AUDIT_STATUS_ALL). This ensures invalid requests are safely rejected, allowing user space to reliably test for and gracefully handle feature detection on older kernels.

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex() interface. As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather than 'objs*'.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>

Remove <linux/hex.h> from <linux/kernel.h> and update all users/callers of hex.h interfaces to directly #include <linux/hex.h> as part of the process of putting kernel.h on a diet. Removing hex.h from kernel.h means that 36K C source files don't have to pay the price of parsing hex.h for the roughly 120 C source files that need it. This change has been build-tested with allmodconfig on most ARCHes. Also, all users/callers of <linux/hex.h> in the entire source tree have been updated if needed (if not already #included).
