Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:
- Move the LSM framework to static calls
This transitions the vast majority of the LSM callbacks into static
calls. Those callbacks which haven't been converted were left as-is
due to the general ugliness of the changes required to support the
static call conversion; we can revisit those callbacks at a future
date.
- Add the Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE) LSM
This adds a new LSM, Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE). There is
plenty of documentation about IPE in this patches, so I'll refrain
from going into too much detail here, but the basic motivation behind
IPE is to provide a mechanism such that administrators can restrict
execution to only those binaries which come from integrity protected
storage, e.g. a dm-verity protected filesystem. You will notice that
IPE requires additional LSM hooks in the initramfs, dm-verity, and
fs-verity code, with the associated patches carrying ACK/review tags
from the associated maintainers. We couldn't find an obvious
maintainer for the initramfs code, but the IPE patchset has been
widely posted over several years.
Both Deven Bowers and Fan Wu have contributed to IPE's development
over the past several years, with Fan Wu agreeing to serve as the IPE
maintainer moving forward. Once IPE is accepted into your tree, I'll
start working with Fan to ensure he has the necessary accounts, keys,
etc. so that he can start submitting IPE pull requests to you
directly during the next merge window.
- Move the lifecycle management of the LSM blobs to the LSM framework
Management of the LSM blobs (the LSM state buffers attached to
various kernel structs, typically via a void pointer named "security"
or similar) has been mixed, some blobs were allocated/managed by
individual LSMs, others were managed by the LSM framework itself.
Starting with this pull we move management of all the LSM blobs,
minus the XFRM blob, into the framework itself, improving consistency
across LSMs, and reducing the amount of duplicated code across LSMs.
Due to some additional work required to migrate the XFRM blob, it has
been left as a todo item for a later date; from a practical
standpoint this omission should have little impact as only SELinux
provides a XFRM LSM implementation.
- Fix problems with the LSM's handling of F_SETOWN
The LSM hook for the fcntl(F_SETOWN) operation had a couple of
problems: it was racy with itself, and it was disconnected from the
associated DAC related logic in such a way that the LSM state could
be updated in cases where the DAC state would not. We fix both of
these problems by moving the security_file_set_fowner() hook into the
same section of code where the DAC attributes are updated. Not only
does this resolve the DAC/LSM synchronization issue, but as that code
block is protected by a lock, it also resolve the race condition.
- Fix potential problems with the security_inode_free() LSM hook
Due to use of RCU to protect inodes and the placement of the LSM hook
associated with freeing the inode, there is a bit of a challenge when
it comes to managing any LSM state associated with an inode. The VFS
folks are not open to relocating the LSM hook so we have to get
creative when it comes to releasing an inode's LSM state.
Traditionally we have used a single LSM callback within the hook that
is triggered when the inode is "marked for death", but not actually
released due to RCU.
Unfortunately, this causes problems for LSMs which want to take an
action when the inode's associated LSM state is actually released; so
we add an additional LSM callback, inode_free_security_rcu(), that is
called when the inode's LSM state is released in the RCU free
callback.
- Refactor two LSM hooks to better fit the LSM return value patterns
The vast majority of the LSM hooks follow the "return 0 on success,
negative values on failure" pattern, however, there are a small
handful that have unique return value behaviors which has caused
confusion in the past and makes it difficult for the BPF verifier to
properly vet BPF LSM programs. This includes patches to
convert two of these"special" LSM hooks to the common 0/-ERRNO pattern.
- Various cleanups and improvements
A handful of patches to remove redundant code, better leverage the
IS_ERR_OR_NULL() helper, add missing "static" markings, and do some
minor style fixups.

Richard reports that since 772dd03427 ("mm: enumerate all gfp flags"),
gfp-translate is broken, as the bit numbers are implicit, leaving the
shell script unable to extract them. Even more, some bits are now at a
variable location, making it double extra hard to parse using a simple
shell script.
Use a brute-force approach to the problem by generating a small C stub
that will use the enum to dump the interesting bits.
As an added bonus, we are now able to identify invalid bits for a given
configuration. As an added drawback, we cannot parse include files that
predate this change anymore. Tough luck.

LLVM 19 is dropping support for 3DNow! in commit f0eb5587ceeb ("Remove
support for 3DNow!, both intrinsics and builtins. (#96246)"):
Remove support for 3DNow!, both intrinsics and builtins. (#96246)
This set of instructions was only supported by AMD chips starting in
the K6-2 (introduced 1998), and before the "Bulldozer" family
(2011). They were never much used, as they were effectively superseded
by the more-widely-implemented SSE (first implemented on the AMD side
in Athlon XP in 2001).
This is being done as a predecessor towards general removal of MMX
register usage. Since there is almost no usage of the 3DNow!
intrinsics, and no modern hardware even implements them, simple
removal seems like the best option.
Thus we should avoid passing these to the backend, since otherwise we
get a diagnostic about it:
'-3dnow' is not a recognized feature for this target (ignoring feature)
'-3dnowa' is not a recognized feature for this target (ignoring feature)
We could try to disable them only up to LLVM 19 (not the C side one,
but the one used by `rustc`, which may be built with a range of
LLVMs). However, to avoid more complexity, we can likely just remove
them altogether. According to Nikita [2]:
> I don't think it's needed because LLVM should not generate 3dnow
> instructions unless specifically asked to, using intrinsics that
> Rust does not provide in the first place.
Thus do so, like Rust did for one of their builtin targets [3].
For those curious: Clang will warn only about trying to enable them
(`-m3dnow{,a}`), but not about disabling them (`-mno-3dnow{,a}`), so
there is no change needed there.

Sets the `sysroot` field in rust-project.json which is now needed in
newer versions of rust-analyzer instead of the `sysroot_src` field.
Till [1] `rust-analyzer` used to guess the `sysroot` based on the
`sysroot_src` at [2]. Now `sysroot` is a required parameter for a
`rust-project.json` file. It is required because `rust-analyzer`
need it to find the proc-macro server [3].
In the current version of `rust-analyzer` the `sysroot_src` is only used
to include the inbuilt library crates (std, core, alloc, etc) [4]. Since
we already specify the core library to be included in the
`rust-project.json` we don't need to define the `sysroot_src`.
Code editors like VS Code try to use the latest version of rust-analyzer
(which is updated every week) instead of the version of rust-analyzer
that comes with the rustup toolchain (which is updated every six weeks
along with the rust version).
Without this change `rust-analyzer` is breaking for anyone using VS Code.
As they are getting the latest version of `rust-analyzer` with the
changes made in [1].
`rust-analyzer` will also start breaking for other developers as they
update their rust version (assuming that also updates the rust-analyzer
version on their system).
This patch should work with every setup as there is no more guess work
being done by `rust-analyzer`.
[ Lukas, who leads the rust-analyzer team, says:
`sysroot_src` is required now if you want to have the sysroot
source libraries be loaded. I think we used to infer it as
`{sysroot}/lib/rustlib/src/rust/library` before when only the
`sysroot` field was given but that was since changed to make it
possible in having a sysroot without the standard library sources
(that is only have the binaries available). So if you want the
library sources to be loaded by rust-analyzer you will have to set
that field as well now.

The conversion from the old unistd.h file to syscall.tbl dropped the
nfsservctl macro. This one was handled inconsistently across architectures
in the original introduction of the syscall.tbl format, and I went the
other way on this.
The syscall was already gone in linux-3.1 before the current users
of the generic table (other than openrisc) first appeared, so nobody
could actally use it, but putting the number back helps for consistency
since there are build scripts that check the presence of all these
macros.

Despite multiple attempts to get the syscall number assignment right
for the newly added uretprobe syscall, we ended up with a bit of a mess:
- The number is defined as 467 based on the assumption that the
xattrat family of syscalls would use 463 through 466, but those
did not make it into 6.11.
- The include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h file still lists the number
463, but the new scripts/syscall.tbl that was supposed to have the
same data lists 467 instead as the number for arc, arm64, csky,
hexagon, loongarch, nios2, openrisc and riscv. None of these
architectures actually provide a uretprobe syscall.
- All the other architectures (powerpc, arm, mips, ...) don't list
this syscall at all.
There are two ways to make it consistent again: either list it with
the same syscall number on all architectures, or only list it on x86
but not in scripts/syscall.tbl and asm-generic/unistd.h.
Based on the most recent discussion, it seems like we won't need it
anywhere else, so just remove the inconsistent assignment and instead
move the x86 number to the next available one in the architecture
specific range, which is 335.
