<content type='text'>
commit 2fb1c9a4f2dbc2f0bd2431c7fa64d0b5483864e4 upstream.

Calculating the 'security.evm' HMAC value requires access to the
EVM encrypted key.  Only the kernel should have access to it.  This
patch prevents userspace tools(eg. setfattr, cp --preserve=xattr)
from setting/modifying the 'security.evm' HMAC value directly.

 "The first vfs pile, with deep apologies for being very late in this
  window.

  Assorted cleanups and fixes, plus a large preparatory part of iov_iter
  work.  There's a lot more of that, but it'll probably go into the next
  merge window - it *does* shape up nicely, removes a lot of
  boilerplate, gets rid of locking inconsistencie between aio_write and
  splice_write and I hope to get Kent's direct-io rewrite merged into
  the same queue, but some of the stuff after this point is having
  (mostly trivial) conflicts with the things already merged into
  mainline and with some I want more testing.

  This one passes LTP and xfstests without regressions, in addition to
  usual beating.  BTW, readahead02 in ltp syscalls testsuite has started
  giving failures since "mm/readahead.c: fix readahead failure for
  memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages" - might be a false
  positive, might be a real regression..."

If keys are not enabled, EVM is not visible in the configuration menu.
It may be difficult to figure out what to do unless you really know.
Other subsystems as NFS, CIFS select keys automatically. This patch does
the same.

This patch also removes '(TRUSTED_KEYS=y || TRUSTED_KEYS=n)' dependency,
which is unnecessary. EVM does not depend on trusted keys, but on
encrypted keys. evm.h provides compile time dependency.

Between checkpatch changes (eg. sizeof) and inconsistencies between
Lindent and checkpatch, unfixed checkpatch errors make it difficult
to see new errors. This patch fixes them. Some lines with over 80 chars
remained unchanged to improve code readability.

The "extern" keyword is removed from internal evm.h to make it consistent
with internal ima.h.
