John Johansen 8e135b8aee apparmor: fix race between freeing data and fs accessing it
AppArmor was putting the reference to i_private data on its end after
removing the original entry from the file system. However the inode
can aand does live beyond that point and it is possible that some of
the fs call back functions will be invoked after the reference has
been put, which results in a race between freeing the data and
accessing it through the fs.

While the rawdata/loaddata is the most likely candidate to fail the
race, as it has the fewest references. If properly crafted it might be
possible to trigger a race for the other types stored in i_private.

Fix this by moving the put of i_private referenced data to the correct
place which is during inode eviction.

Kees Cook 69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

John Johansen 9058798652 apparmor: fix aa_label to return state from compount and component match
aa-label_match is not correctly returning the state in all cases.
The only reason this didn't cause a error is that all callers currently
ignore the return value.

John Johansen 796c146fa6 apparmor: split xxx_in_ns into its two separate semantic use cases
This patch doesn't change current functionality, it switches the two
uses of the in_ns fns and macros into the two semantically different
cases they are used for.

xxx_in_scope for checking mediation interaction between profiles
xxx_in_view to determine which profiles are visible.The scope will
always be a subset of the view as profiles that can not see each
other can not interact.

The split can not be completely done for label_match because it has to
distinct uses matching permission against label in scope, and checking
if a transition to a profile is allowed. The transition to a profile
can include profiles that are in view but not in scope, so retain this
distinction as a parameter.

While at the moment the two uses are very similar, in the future there
will be additional differences. So make sure the semantics differences
are present in the code.

John Johansen de4754c801 apparmor: carry mediation check on label
In order to speed up the mediated check, precompute and store the
result as a bit per class type. This will not only allow us to
speed up the mediation check but is also a step to removing the
unconfined special cases as the unconfined check can be replaced
with the generic label_mediates() check.

Note: label check does not currently work for capabilities and resources
      which need to have their mediation updated first.

John Johansen cd769b05cc apparmor: ensure labels with more than one entry have correct flags
labels containing more than one entry need to accumulate flag info
from profiles that the label is constructed from. This is done
correctly for labels created by a merge but is not being done for
labels created by an update or directly created via a parse.

This technically is a bug fix, however the effect in current code is
to cause early unconfined bail out to not happen (ie. without the fix
it is slower) on labels that were created via update or a parse.
