Changing the direct dependencies of IMA_BLACKLIST_KEYRING and
IMA_LOAD_X509 caused them to no longer depend on IMA, but a
a configuration without IMA results in link failures:

arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: security/integrity/iint.o: in function `integrity_load_keys':
iint.c:(.init.text+0xd8): undefined reference to `ima_load_x509'

aarch64-linux-ld: security/integrity/digsig_asymmetric.o: in function `asymmetric_verify':
digsig_asymmetric.c:(.text+0x104): undefined reference to `ima_blacklist_keyring'

Adding explicit dependencies on IMA would fix this, but a more reliable
way to do this is to enclose the entire Kconfig file in an 'if IMA' block.
This also allows removing the existing direct dependencies.

The removal of IMA_TRUSTED_KEYRING made IMA_LOAD_X509
and IMA_BLACKLIST_KEYRING unavailable because the latter
two depend on the former. Since IMA_TRUSTED_KEYRING was
deprecated in favor of INTEGRITY_TRUSTED_KEYRING use it
as a dependency for the two Kconfigs affected by the
deprecation.

<title>selinux: fix handling of empty opts in selinux_fs_context_submount()</title>

selinux_set_mnt_opts() relies on the fact that the mount options pointer
is always NULL when all options are unset (specifically in its
!selinux_initialized() branch. However, the new
selinux_fs_context_submount() hook breaks this rule by allocating a new
structure even if no options are set. That causes any submount created
before a SELinux policy is loaded to be rejected in
selinux_set_mnt_opts().

Fix this by making selinux_fs_context_submount() leave fc-&gt;security
set to NULL when there are no options to be copied from the reference
superblock.

Pull LSM updates from Paul Moore:

 - Add proper multi-LSM support for xattrs in the
   security_inode_init_security() hook

   Historically the LSM layer has only allowed a single LSM to add an
   xattr to an inode, with IMA/EVM measuring that and adding its own as
   well. As we work towards promoting IMA/EVM to a "proper LSM" instead
   of the special case that it is now, we need to better support the
   case of multiple LSMs each adding xattrs to an inode and after
   several attempts we now appear to have something that is working
   well. It is worth noting that in the process of making this change we
   uncovered a problem with Smack's SMACK64TRANSMUTE xattr which is also
   fixed in this pull request.

 - Additional LSM hook constification

   Two patches to constify parameters to security_capget() and
   security_binder_transfer_file(). While I generally don't make a
   special note of who submitted these patches, these were the work of
   an Outreachy intern, Khadija Kamran, and that makes me happy;
   hopefully it does the same for all of you reading this.

 - LSM hook comment header fixes

   One patch to add a missing hook comment header, one to fix a minor
   typo.

 - Remove an old, unused credential function declaration

   It wasn't clear to me who should pick this up, but it was trivial,
   obviously correct, and arguably the LSM layer has a vested interest
   in credentials so I merged it. Sadly I'm now noticing that despite my
   subject line cleanup I didn't cleanup the "unsued" misspelling, sigh

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
 "Thirty three SELinux patches, which is a pretty big number for us, but
  there isn't really anything scary in here; in fact we actually manage
  to remove 10 lines of code with this :)

   - Promote the SELinux DEBUG_HASHES macro to CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DEBUG

     The DEBUG_HASHES macro was a buried SELinux specific preprocessor
     debug macro that was a problem waiting to happen. Promoting the
     debug macro to a proper Kconfig setting should help both improve
     the visibility of the feature as well enable improved test
     coverage. We've moved some additional debug functions under the
     CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DEBUG flag and we may see more work in the
     future.

   - Emit a pr_notice() message if virtual memory is executable by default

     As this impacts the SELinux access control policy enforcement, if
     the system's configuration is such that virtual memory is
     executable by default we print a single line notice to the console.

   - Drop avtab_search() in favor of avtab_search_node()

     Both functions are nearly identical so we removed avtab_search()
     and converted the callers to avtab_search_node().

   - Add some SELinux network auditing helpers

     The helpers not only reduce a small amount of code duplication, but
     they provide an opportunity to improve UDP flood performance
     slightly by delaying initialization of the audit data in some
     cases.

   - Convert GFP_ATOMIC allocators to GFP_KERNEL when reading SELinux policy

     There were two SELinux policy load helper functions that were
     allocating memory using GFP_ATOMIC, they have been converted to
     GFP_KERNEL.

   - Quiet a KMSAN warning in selinux_inet_conn_request()

     A one-line error path (re)set patch that resolves a KMSAN warning.
     It is important to note that this doesn't represent a real bug in
     the current code, but it quiets KMSAN and arguably hardens the code
     against future changes.

   - Cleanup the policy capability accessor functions

     This is a follow-up to the patch which reverted SELinux to using a
     global selinux_state pointer. This patch cleans up some artifacts
     of that change and turns each accessor into a one-line READ_ONCE()
     call into the policy capabilities array.

   - A number of patches from Christian Göttsche

     Christian submitted almost two-thirds of the patches in this pull
     request as he worked to harden the SELinux code against type
     differences, variable overflows, etc.

   - Support for separating early userspace from the kernel in policy,
     with a later revert

     We did have a patch that added a new userspace initial SID which
     would allow SELinux to distinguish between early user processes
     created before the initial policy load and the kernel itself.

     Unfortunately additional post-merge testing revealed a problematic
     interaction with an old SELinux userspace on an old version of
     Ubuntu so we've reverted the patch until we can resolve the
     compatibility issue.

   - Remove some outdated comments dealing with LSM hook registration

     When we removed the runtime disable functionality we forgot to
     remove some old comments discussing the importance of LSM hook
     registration ordering.

   - Minor administrative changes

     Stephen Smalley updated his email address and "debranded" SELinux
     from "NSA SELinux" to simply "SELinux". We've come a long way from
     the original NSA submission and I would consider SELinux a true
     community project at this point so removing the NSA branding just
     makes sense"

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
 "Thirty three SELinux patches, which is a pretty big number for us, but
  there isn't really anything scary in here; in fact we actually manage
  to remove 10 lines of code with this :)

   - Promote the SELinux DEBUG_HASHES macro to CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DEBUG

     The DEBUG_HASHES macro was a buried SELinux specific preprocessor
     debug macro that was a problem waiting to happen. Promoting the
     debug macro to a proper Kconfig setting should help both improve
     the visibility of the feature as well enable improved test
     coverage. We've moved some additional debug functions under the
     CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DEBUG flag and we may see more work in the
     future.

   - Emit a pr_notice() message if virtual memory is executable by default

     As this impacts the SELinux access control policy enforcement, if
     the system's configuration is such that virtual memory is
     executable by default we print a single line notice to the console.

   - Drop avtab_search() in favor of avtab_search_node()

     Both functions are nearly identical so we removed avtab_search()
     and converted the callers to avtab_search_node().

   - Add some SELinux network auditing helpers

     The helpers not only reduce a small amount of code duplication, but
     they provide an opportunity to improve UDP flood performance
     slightly by delaying initialization of the audit data in some
     cases.

   - Convert GFP_ATOMIC allocators to GFP_KERNEL when reading SELinux policy

     There were two SELinux policy load helper functions that were
     allocating memory using GFP_ATOMIC, they have been converted to
     GFP_KERNEL.

   - Quiet a KMSAN warning in selinux_inet_conn_request()

     A one-line error path (re)set patch that resolves a KMSAN warning.
     It is important to note that this doesn't represent a real bug in
     the current code, but it quiets KMSAN and arguably hardens the code
     against future changes.

   - Cleanup the policy capability accessor functions

     This is a follow-up to the patch which reverted SELinux to using a
     global selinux_state pointer. This patch cleans up some artifacts
     of that change and turns each accessor into a one-line READ_ONCE()
     call into the policy capabilities array.

   - A number of patches from Christian Göttsche

     Christian submitted almost two-thirds of the patches in this pull
     request as he worked to harden the SELinux code against type
     differences, variable overflows, etc.

   - Support for separating early userspace from the kernel in policy,
     with a later revert

     We did have a patch that added a new userspace initial SID which
     would allow SELinux to distinguish between early user processes
     created before the initial policy load and the kernel itself.

     Unfortunately additional post-merge testing revealed a problematic
     interaction with an old SELinux userspace on an old version of
     Ubuntu so we've reverted the patch until we can resolve the
     compatibility issue.

   - Remove some outdated comments dealing with LSM hook registration

     When we removed the runtime disable functionality we forgot to
     remove some old comments discussing the importance of LSM hook
     registration ordering.

   - Minor administrative changes

     Stephen Smalley updated his email address and "debranded" SELinux
