Commit 8370edea81 ("bin2c: move bin2c in scripts/basic") moved bin2c
to the scripts/basic/ directory, incorrectly stating "Kexec wants to
use bin2c and it wants to use it really early in the build process.
See arch/x86/purgatory/ code in later patches."
Commit bdab125c93 ("Revert "kexec/purgatory: Add clean-up for
purgatory directory"") and commit d6605b6bbe ("x86/build: Remove
unnecessary preparation for purgatory") removed the redundant
purgatory build magic entirely.
That means that the move of bin2c was unnecessary in the first place.
fixdep is the only host program that deserves to sit in the
scripts/basic/ directory.

Some systems are memory constrained but they need to load very large
firmwares. The firmware subsystem allows drivers to request this
firmware be loaded from the filesystem, but this requires that the
entire firmware be loaded into kernel memory first before it's provided
to the driver. This can lead to a situation where we map the firmware
twice, once to load the firmware into kernel memory and once to copy the
firmware into the final resting place.
To resolve this problem, commit a098ecd2fa ("firmware: support loading
into a pre-allocated buffer") introduced request_firmware_into_buf() API
that allows drivers to request firmware be loaded directly into a
pre-allocated buffer.
Do devices using pre-allocated memory run the risk of the firmware being
accessible to the device prior to the completion of IMA's signature
verification any more than when using two buffers? (Refer to mailing list
discussion[1]).
Only on systems with an IOMMU can the access be prevented. As long as
the signature verification completes prior to the DMA map is performed,
the device can not access the buffer. This implies that the same buffer
can not be re-used. Can we ensure the buffer has not been DMA mapped
before using the pre-allocated buffer?

IMA by default does not measure, appraise or audit files, but can be
enabled at runtime by specifying a builtin policy on the boot command line
or by loading a custom policy.
This patch defines a build time policy, which verifies kernel modules,
firmware, kexec image, and/or the IMA policy signatures. This build time
policy is automatically enabled at runtime and persists after loading a
custom policy.

Some crypto API users allocating a tfm with crypto_alloc_$FOO() are also
specifying the type flags for $FOO, e.g. crypto_alloc_shash() with
CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_SHASH. But, that's redundant since the crypto API will
override any specified type flag/mask with the correct ones.
So, remove the unneeded flags.
This patch shouldn't change any actual behavior.

Pull selinux fix from Paul Moore:
"One fairly straightforward patch to fix a longstanding issue where a
process could stall while accessing files in selinuxfs and block
everyone else due to a held mutex.
The patch passes all our tests and looks to apply cleanly to your
current tree"
* tag 'selinux-pr-20180629' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/selinux:
selinux: move user accesses in selinuxfs out of locked regions
If a user is accessing a file in selinuxfs with a pointer to a userspace
buffer that is backed by e.g. a userfaultfd, the userspace access can
stall indefinitely, which can block fsi->mutex if it is held.
For sel_read_policy(), remove the locking, since this method doesn't seem
to access anything that requires locking.
For sel_read_bool(), move the user access below the locked region.
For sel_write_bool() and sel_commit_bools_write(), move the user access
up above the locked region.

Smack: Mark inode instant in smack_task_to_inode
/proc clean-up in commit 1bbc55131e
resulted in smack_task_to_inode() being called before smack_d_instantiate.
This resulted in the smk_inode value being ignored, even while present
for files in /proc/self. Marking the inode as instant here fixes that.
