Pull char / misc patches from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big char/misc driver update for 3.20-rc1.

  Lots of little things in here, all described in the changelog.
  Nothing major or unusual, except maybe the binder selinux stuff, which
  was all acked by the proper selinux people and they thought it best to
  come through this tree.

  All of this has been in linux-next with no reported issues for a while"

6bec003528 Merge branch 'for-3.20/bdi' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull backing device changes from Jens Axboe:
 "This contains a cleanup of how the backing device is handled, in
  preparation for a rework of the life time rules.  In this part, the
  most important change is to split the unrelated nommu mmap flags from
  it, but also removing a backing_dev_info pointer from the
  address_space (and inode), and a cleanup of other various minor bits.

  Christoph did all the work here, I just fixed an oops with pages that
  have a swap backing.  Arnd fixed a missing export, and Oleg killed the
  lustre backing_dev_info from staging.  Last patch was from Al,
  unexporting parts that are now no longer needed outside"

2088d60e3b selinux: quiet the filesystem labeling behavior message
While the filesystem labeling method is only printed at the KERN_DEBUG
level, this still appears in dmesg and on modern Linux distributions
that create a lot of tmpfs mounts for session handling, the dmesg can
easily be filled with a lot of "SELinux: initialized (dev X ..."

but leaves the error message intact (displayed when mounting a
filesystem with an unknown labeling behavior).

79af73079d Add security hooks to binder and implement the hooks for SELinux.
Add security hooks to the binder and implement the hooks for SELinux.
The security hooks enable security modules such as SELinux to implement
controls over binder IPC.  The security hooks include support for
controlling what process can become the binder context manager
(binder_set_context_mgr), controlling the ability of a process
to invoke a binder transaction/IPC to another process (binder_transaction),
controlling the ability of a process to transfer a binder reference to
another process (binder_transfer_binder), and controlling the ability
of a process to transfer an open file to another process (binder_transfer_file).

These hooks have been included in the Android kernel trees since Android 4.3.

(Updated to reflect upstream relocation and changes to the binder driver,
changes to the LSM audit data structures, coding style cleanups, and
to add inline documentation for the hooks).

The existing Makefile used the wrong configuration option to

6d1cff2a88 smack: fix possible use after frees in task_security() callers
We hit use after free on dereferncing pointer to task_smack struct in
smk_of_task() called from smack_task_to_inode().

task_security() macro uses task_cred_xxx() to get pointer to the task_smack.
task_cred_xxx() could be used only for non-pointer members of task's
credentials. It cannot be used for pointer members since what they point
to may disapper after dropping RCU read lock.

Mainly task_security() used this way:
	smk_of_task(task_security(p))

Intead of this introduce function smk_of_task_struct() which
takes task_struct as argument and returns pointer to smk_known struct
and do this under RCU read lock.
Bogus task_security() macro is not used anymore, so remove it.

KASan's report for this:

69f287ae6f Smack: secmark support for netfilter
Smack uses CIPSO to label internet packets and thus provide
for access control on delivery of packets. The netfilter facility
was not used to allow for Smack to work properly without netfilter
configuration. Smack does not need netfilter, however there are
cases where it would be handy.

As a side effect, the labeling of local IPv4 packets can be optimized
and the handling of local IPv6 packets is just all out better.

The best part is that the netfilter tools use "contexts" that
are just strings, and they work just as well for Smack as they
do for SELinux.

All of the conditional compilation for IPv6 was implemented
by Rafal Krypa <r.krypa@samsung.com>

5e7270a6dd Smack: Rework file hooks
This is one of those cases where you look at code you did
years ago and wonder what you might have been thinking.
There are a number of LSM hooks that work off of file pointers,
and most of them really want the security data from the inode.
Some, however, really want the security context that the process
had when the file was opened. The difference went undetected in
Smack until it started getting used in a real system with real
testing. At that point it was clear that something was amiss.

This patch corrects the misuse of the f_security value in several
of the hooks. The behavior will not usually be any different, as
the process had to be able to open the file in the first place, and
the old check almost always succeeded, as will the new, but for
different reasons.

Thanks to the Samsung Tizen development team that identified this.

b4caecd480 fs: introduce f_op->mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support
Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the
backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap
operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated
to it's original purpose.

Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to
the nommu mmap code instead.  Splitting this from the backing_dev_info
structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't
otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a
backing_dev_info for a character device.  It also removes the need for
the mtd_inodefs filesystem.

In principle if this function was called with "value" == NULL and "len"

case where "name" was not NULL. This is a hypothetical case that does
not exist in the kernel, but it's a logic bug nonetheless.

83fe27ea53 rcu: Make SRCU optional by using CONFIG_SRCU
SRCU is not necessary to be compiled by default in all cases. For tinification
efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable.

The current patch tries to make compiling SRCU optional by introducing a new
Kconfig option CONFIG_SRCU which is selected when any of the components making
use of SRCU are selected.

If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all.

so the savings are about ~2000 bytes.

a3a8784454 KEYS: close race between key lookup and freeing
When a key is being garbage collected, it's key->user would get put before
the ->destroy() callback is called, where the key is removed from it's
respective tracking structures.

This leaves a key hanging in a semi-invalid state which leaves a window open
for a different task to try an access key->user. An example is
find_keyring_by_name() which would dereference key->user for a key that is
in the process of being garbage collected (where key->user was freed but
->destroy() wasn't called yet - so it's still present in the linked list).

This would cause either a panic, or corrupt memory.

Fixes CVE-2014-9529.

5057975ae3 KEYS: remove a bogus NULL check
We already checked if "desc" was NULL at the beginning of the function
and we've dereferenced it so this causes a static checker warning.
