commit 42c4e97e06a839b07d834f640a10911ad84ec8b3 upstream.

The Linux Kernel currently only requires make v3.82 while the grouped
target functionality requires make v4.3.  Removed the grouped target
introduced in 4ce1f694eb5d ("selinux: ensure av_permissions.h is
built when needed") as well as the multiple header file targets in
the make rule.  This effectively reverts the problem commit.

We will revisit this change when make &gt;= 4.3 is required by the rest
of the kernel.

[ Upstream commit 4ce1f694eb5d8ca607fed8542d32a33b4f1217a5 ]

The Makefile rule responsible for building flask.h and
av_permissions.h only lists flask.h as a target which means that
av_permissions.h is only generated when flask.h needs to be
generated.  This patch fixes this by adding av_permissions.h as a
target to the rule.

commit 644f17412f5acf01a19af9d04a921937a2bc86c6 upstream.

UML supports HAS_IOMEM since 0bbadafdc49d (um: allow disabling
NO_IOMEM).

Current IMA build on UML fails on allmodconfig (with TCG_TPM=m):

ld: security/integrity/ima/ima_queue.o: in function `ima_add_template_entry':
ima_queue.c:(.text+0x2d9): undefined reference to `tpm_pcr_extend'
ld: security/integrity/ima/ima_init.o: in function `ima_init':
ima_init.c:(.init.text+0x43f): undefined reference to `tpm_default_chip'

ima_crypto.c:(.text+0x1044): undefined reference to `tpm_pcr_read'
ld: ima_crypto.c:(.text+0x10d8): undefined reference to `tpm_pcr_read'

Modify the IMA Kconfig entry so that it selects TCG_TPM if HAS_IOMEM
is set, regardless of the UML Kconfig setting.
This updates TCG_TPM from =m to =y and fixes the linker errors.

<title>keys: Do not cache key in task struct if key is requested from kernel thread</title>

<content type='text'>
The key which gets cached in task structure from a kernel thread does not
get invalidated even after expiry.  Due to which, a new key request from
kernel thread will be served with the cached key if it's present in task
struct irrespective of the key validity.  The change is to not cache key in
task_struct when key requested from kernel thread so that kernel thread
gets a valid key on every key request.

The problem has been seen with the cifs module doing DNS lookups from a
kernel thread and the results getting pinned by being attached to that
kernel thread's cache - and thus not something that can be easily got rid
of.  The cache would ordinarily be cleared by notify-resume, but kernel
threads don't do that.

This isn't seen with AFS because AFS is doing request_key() within the
kernel half of a user thread - which will do notify-resume.

<title>capability: just use a 'u64' instead of a 'u32[2]' array</title>

<id>f122a08b197d076ccf136c73fae0146875812a88</id>
<content type='text'>
Back in 2008 we extended the capability bits from 32 to 64, and we did
it by extending the single 32-bit capability word from one word to an
array of two words.  It was then obfuscated by hiding the "2" behind two
macro expansions, with the reasoning being that maybe it gets extended
further some day.

That reasoning may have been valid at the time, but the last thing we
want to do is to extend the capability set any more.  And the array of
values not only causes source code oddities (with loops to deal with
it), but also results in worse code generation.  It's a lose-lose
situation.

So just change the 'u32[2]' into a 'u64' and be done with it.

We still have to deal with the fact that the user space interface is
designed around an array of these 32-bit values, but that was the case
before too, since the array layouts were different (ie user space
doesn't use an array of 32-bit values for individual capability masks,
but an array of 32-bit slices of multiple masks).

So that marshalling of data is actually simplified too, even if it does
remain somewhat obscure and odd.

This was all triggered by my reaction to the new "cap_isidentical()"
introduced recently.  By just using a saner data structure, it went from

	unsigned __capi;
	CAP_FOR_EACH_U32(__capi) {
		if (a.cap[__capi] != b.cap[__capi])
			return false;
	}
	return true;

to just being

	return a.val == b.val;

instead.  Which is rather more obvious both to humans and to compilers.

Back in 2008 we extended the capability bits from 32 to 64, and we did
it by extending the single 32-bit capability word from one word to an
array of two words.  It was then obfuscated by hiding the "2" behind two
macro expansions, with the reasoning being that maybe it gets extended
further some day.

That reasoning may have been valid at the time, but the last thing we
want to do is to extend the capability set any more.  And the array of
values not only causes source code oddities (with loops to deal with
it), but also results in worse code generation.  It's a lose-lose
situation.

So just change the 'u32[2]' into a 'u64' and be done with it.

We still have to deal with the fact that the user space interface is
designed around an array of these 32-bit values, but that was the case
before too, since the array layouts were different (ie user space
doesn't use an array of 32-bit values for individual capability masks,
but an array of 32-bit slices of multiple masks).

So that marshalling of data is actually simplified too, even if it does
remain somewhat obscure and odd.

This was all triggered by my reaction to the new "cap_isidentical()"
introduced recently.  By just using a saner data structure, it went from

	unsigned __capi;
	CAP_FOR_EACH_U32(__capi) {

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Support for configuring secure boot with user-defined keys on PowerVM
   LPARs

 - Simplify the replay of soft-masked IRQs by making it non-recursive

 - Add support for KCSAN on 64-bit Book3S

 - Improvements to the API &amp; code which interacts with RTAS (pseries
   firmware)

 - Change 32-bit powermac to assign PCI bus numbers per domain by
   default

 - Some improvements to the 32-bit BPF JIT

 - Various other small features and fixes
