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 3d28e2397a apparmor: add support loading per permission tagging
Add support for the per permission tag index for a given permission
set. This will be used by both meta-data tagging, to allow annotating
accept states with context and debug information. As well as by rule
tainting and triggers to specify the taint or trigger to be applied.

Since these are low frequency ancillary data items they are stored
in a tighter packed format to that allows for sharing and reuse of the
strings between permissions and accept states. Reducing the amount of
kernel memory use at the cost of having to go through a couple if
index based indirections.

The tags are just strings that has no meaning with out context. When
used as meta-data for auditing and debugging its entirely information
for userspace, but triggers, and tainting can be used to affect the
domain. However they all exist in the same packed data set and can
be shared between different uses.

John Johansen c140dcd124 apparmor: make str table more generic and be able to have multiple entries
The strtable is currently limited to a single entry string on unpack
even though domain has the concept of multiple entries within it. Make
this a reality as it will be used for tags and more advanced domain
transitions.

Thorsten BlumandJohn Johansen b31d3f7385 apparmor: Replace sprintf/strcpy with scnprintf/strscpy in aa_policy_init
strcpy() is deprecated and sprintf() does not perform bounds checking
either. Although an overflow is unlikely, it's better to proactively
avoid it by using the safer strscpy() and scnprintf(), respectively.

Additionally, unify memory allocation for 'hname' to simplify and
improve aa_policy_init().

Peng JiangandJohn Johansen f9c9dce01e apparmor: fix documentation mismatches in val_mask_to_str and socket functions
This patch fixes kernel-doc warnings:
1. val_mask_to_str:
- Added missing descriptions for `size` and `table` parameters.
- Removed outdated str_size and chrs references.
2. Socket Functions:
- Makes non-null requirements clear for socket/address args.
- Standardizes return values per kernel conventions.
- Adds Unix domain socket protocol details.

These changes silence doc validation warnings and improve accuracy for
AppArmor LSM docs.

John Johansen aff426f359 apparmor: mitigate parser generating large xtables
Some versions of the parser are generating an xtable transition per
state in the state machine, even when the state machine isn't using
the transition table.

The parser bug is triggered by
commit 2e12c5f060 ("apparmor: add additional flags to extended permission.")

In addition to fixing this in userspace, mitigate this in the kernel
as part of the policy verification checks by detecting this situation
and adjusting to what is actually used, or if not used at all freeing
it, so we are not wasting unneeded memory on policy.

John Johansen 98b824ff89 apparmor: refcount the pdb
With the move to permission tables the dfa is no longer a stand
alone entity when used, needing a minimum of a permission table.
However it still could be shared among different pdbs each using
a different permission table.

Instead of duping the permission table when sharing a pdb, add a
refcount to the pdb so it can be easily shared.
