commit 3034a146820c26fe6da66a45f6340fe87fe0983a upstream.

Empty files and missing xattrs do not guarantee that a file was
just created.  This patch passes FILE_CREATED flag to IMA to
reliably identify new files.

commit b151d6b00bbb798c58f2f21305e7d43fa763f34f upstream.

On ima_file_free(), newly created empty files are not labeled with
an initial security.ima value, because the iversion did not change.
Commit dff6efc "fs: fix iversion handling" introduced a change in
iversion behavior.  To verify this change use the shell command:

  $ (exec &gt;foo)
  $ getfattr -h -e hex -d -m security foo

This patch defines the IMA_NEW_FILE flag.  The flag is initially
set, when IMA detects that a new file is created, and subsequently
checked on the ima_file_free() hook to set the initial security.ima
value.

commit 27cd1fc3ae5374a4a86662c67033f15ef27b2461 upstream.

3.16 commit aad4f8bb42af06371aa0e85bf0cd9d52c0494985
'switch simple generic_file_aio_read() users to -&gt;read_iter()'
replaced -&gt;aio_read with -&gt;read_iter in most of the file systems
and introduced new_sync_read() as a replacement for do_sync_read().

Most of file systems set '-&gt;read' and ima_kernel_read is not affected.
When -&gt;read is not set, this patch adopts fallback call changes from the
vfs_read.

Now that NFS client uses the kernel key ring facility to store the NFSv4
id/gid mappings, the defaults for root_maxkeys and root_maxbytes need to be
substantially increased.

These values have been soak tested:

"struct inode_operations"-&gt;rename == NULL if
"struct inode_operations"-&gt;rename2 != NULL .

TOMOYO needs to check for both -&gt;rename and -&gt;rename2 , or
a system on (e.g.) ext4 filesystem won't boot.

Pull SElinux fixes from Paul Moore:
 "Two small patches to fix a couple of build warnings in SELinux and
  NetLabel.  The patches are obvious enough that I don't think any
  additional explanation is necessary, but it basically boils down to
  the usual: I was stupid, and these patches fix some of the stupid.

  Both patches were posted earlier this week to the SELinux list, and
  that is where they sat as I didn't think there were noteworthy enough
  to go upstream at this point in time, but DaveM would rather see them
  upstream now so who am I to argue.  As the patches are both very
  small"

Pull timer and time updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large update of timers, timekeeping &amp; co

   - Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines.
     Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of
     user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :)

   - Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures.

   - Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users.

   - Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops
     and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs.  Some of it
     definitely belongs into the ugly code museum.

   - Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo.

   - A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing.  This is a
     long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space
     traces.  With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable
     for correlation of traces accross separate machines.

   - Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd.

   - A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code.

   - Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code.

   - New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe.  I'm really
     impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC
     manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC
     specific timers.

[ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ]

   - Another round of code move from arch to drivers.  Looks like most
     of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for
     a few obnoxious strongholds.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Move the nohz kick code out of the scheduler tick to a dedicated IPI,
   from Frederic Weisbecker.

  This necessiated quite some background infrastructure rework,
  including:

   * Clean up some irq-work internals
   * Implement remote irq-work
   * Implement nohz kick on top of remote irq-work
   * Move full dynticks timer enqueue notification to new kick
   * Move multi-task notification to new kick
   * Remove unecessary barriers on multi-task notification

 - Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functions and allow
   wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout.  (Neil Brown)

 - Another round of sched/numa improvements, cleanups and fixes.  (Rik
   van Riel)

 - Implement fast idling of CPUs when the system is partially loaded,
   for better scalability.  (Tim Chen)

 - Restructure and fix the CPU hotplug handling code that may leave
   cfs_rq and rt_rq's throttled when tasks are migrated away from a dead
   cpu.  (Kirill Tkhai)

 - Robustify the sched topology setup code.  (Peterz Zijlstra)

 - Improve sched_feat() handling wrt.  static_keys (Jason Baron)

 - Misc fixes.

* 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (37 commits)
  sched/fair: Fix 'make xmldocs' warning caused by missing description
  sched: Use macro for magic number of -1 for setparam
  sched: Robustify topology setup
  sched: Fix sched_setparam() policy == -1 logic
  sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout
  sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functions
  sched/numa: Revert "Use effective_load() to balance NUMA loads"
  sched: Fix static_key race with sched_feat()
  sched: Remove extra static_key*() function indirection
  sched/rt: Fix replenish_dl_entity() comments to match the current upstream code
  sched: Transform resched_task() into resched_curr()
  sched/deadline: Kill task_struct-&gt;pi_top_task
  sched: Rework check_for_tasks()
  sched/rt: Enqueue just unthrottled rt_rq back on the stack in __disable_runtime()
  sched/fair: Disable runtime_enabled on dying rq
  sched/numa: Change scan period code to match intent
  sched/numa: Rework best node setting in task_numa_migrate()
  sched/numa: Examine a task move when examining a task swap
  sched/numa: Simplify task_numa_compare()
  sched/numa: Use effective_load() to balance NUMA loads
