Pull integrity updates from Mimi Zohar:
 "There are two main changes, one feature removal, some code cleanup,
  and a number of bug fixes.

  Main changes:
   - Detecting secure boot mode was limited to IMA. Make detecting
     secure boot mode accessible to EVM and other LSMs
   - IMA sigv3 support was limited to fsverity. Add IMA sigv3 support
     for IMA regular file hashes and EVM portable signatures

  Remove:
   - Remove IMA support for asychronous hash calculation originally
     added for hardware acceleration

  Cleanup:
   - Remove unnecessary Kconfig CONFIG_MODULE_SIG and CONFIG_KEXEC_SIG
     tests
   - Add descriptions of the IMA atomic flags

  Bug fixes:
   - Like IMA, properly limit EVM "fix" mode
   - Define and call evm_fix_hmac() to update security.evm
   - Fallback to using i_version to detect file change for filesystems
     that do not support STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE
   - Address missing kernel support for configured (new) TPM hash
     algorithms
   - Add missing crypto_shash_final() return value"

Linus Torvalds 88b29f3f57 Merge tag 'modules-7.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/modules/linux
Pull module updates from Sami Tolvanen:
 "Kernel symbol flags:

   - Replace the separate *_gpl symbol sections (__ksymtab_gpl and
     __kcrctab_gpl) with a unified symbol table and a new __kflagstab
     section.

     This section stores symbol flags, such as the GPL-only flag, as an
     8-bit bitset for each exported symbol. This is a cleanup that
     simplifies symbol lookup in the module loader by avoiding table
     fragmentation and will allow a cleaner way to add more flags later
     if needed.

  Module signature UAPI:

   - Move struct module_signature to the UAPI headers to allow reuse by
     tools outside the kernel proper, such as kmod and
     scripts/sign-file.

     This also renames a few constants for clarity and drops unused
     signature types as preparation for hash-based module integrity
     checking work that's in progress.

  Sysfs:

   - Add a /sys/module/<module>/import_ns sysfs attribute to show the
     symbol namespaces imported by loaded modules.

     This makes it easier to verify driver API access at runtime on
     systems that care about such things (e.g. Android).

  Cleanups and fixes:

   - Force sh_addr to 0 for all sections in module.lds. This prevents
     non-zero section addresses when linking modules with 'ld.bfd -r',
     which confused elfutils.

   - Fix a memory leak of charp module parameters on module unload when
     the kernel is configured with CONFIG_SYSFS=n.

   - Override the -EEXIST error code returned by module_init() to
     userspace. This prevents confusion with the errno reserved by the
     module loader to indicate that a module is already loaded.

   - Simplify the warning message and drop the stack dump on positive
     returns from module_init().

   - Drop unnecessary extern keywords from function declarations and
     synchronize parse_args() arguments with their implementation"

Mimi Zohar de4c44a7f5 ima: add support to require IMA sigv3 signatures
Defining a policy rule with the "appraise_type=imasig" option allows
either v2 or v3 signatures. Defining an IMA appraise rule with the
"appraise_type=sigv3" option requires a file sigv3 signature.

Define a new appraise type: IMA_SIGV3_REQUIRED

Example: appraise func=BPRM_CHECK appraise_type=sigv3

Mimi Zohar 64c658f358 ima: add regular file data hash signature version 3 support
Instead of directly verifying the signature of a file data hash,
signature v3 verifies the signature of the ima_file_id structure
containing the file data hash.

To disambiguate the signature usage, the ima_file_id structure also
includes the hash algorithm and the type of data (e.g. regular file
hash or fs-verity root hash).

Eric Biggers 6dc7fce910 crypto: sm3 - Rename CRYPTO_SM3_GENERIC to CRYPTO_SM3
The kconfig options for generic crypto API modules have traditionally
*not* had a "_GENERIC" suffix.  Also, the "_GENERIC" suffix will make
even less sense once the architecture-optimized SM3 code is moved into
lib/crypto/ and the "sm3" crypto_shash is reimplemented on top of that.

Thus, rename CRYPTO_SM3_GENERIC to CRYPTO_SM3.

Eric BiggersandMimi Zohar 7a60fe48af ima: remove buggy support for asynchronous hashes
IMA computes hashes using the crypto_shash or crypto_ahash API.  The
latter is used only when ima.ahash_minsize is set on the command line,
and its purpose is ostensibly to make the hash computation faster.

However, going off the CPU to a crypto engine and back again is actually
quite slow, especially compared with the acceleration that is built into
modern CPUs and the kernel now enables by default for most algorithms.
Typical performance results for SHA-256 on a modern platform can be
found at https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20250615184638.GA1480@sol/

Partly for this reason, several other kernel subsystems have already
dropped support for the crypto_ahash API.

The other problem with crypto_ahash is that bugs are also common, not
just in the underlying drivers, but also in the code using it, since it
is very difficult to use correctly.  Just from a quick review, here are
some of the bugs I noticed in IMA's ahash code:

- [Use after free] ima_alloc_atfm() isn't thread-safe and can trigger a
  use-after-free if multiple threads try to initialize the global
  ima_ahash_tfm at the same time.

- [Deadlock] If only one buffer is allocated and there is an error
  reading from the file, then ahash_wait() is executed twice, causing a
  deadlock in wait_for_completion().

- [Crash or incorrect hash computed] calc_buffer_ahash_atfm() is
  sometimes passed stack buffers which can be vmalloc addresses, but it
  puts them in a scatterlist assuming they are linear addresses.  This
  causes the hashing to be done on the wrong physical address.

- [Truncation to 32-bit length] ima_alloc_pages() incorrectly assumes an
  loff_t value fits in an unsigned long.  calc_buffer_ahash_atfm()
  incorrectly assumes that a loff_t value fits in an unsigned int.

So, not exactly a great track record so far, even disregarding driver
bugs which are an even larger problem.  Fortunately, in practice it's
unlikely that many users are actually setting the ima.ahash_minsize
kernel command-line parameter which enables this code.  However, given
that this code is almost certainly no longer useful (if it ever was),
let's just remove it instead of attempting to fix all these issues.

Dmitry SafonovandMimi Zohar d7bd8cf0b3 ima_fs: Correctly create securityfs files for unsupported hash algos
ima_tpm_chip->allocated_banks[i].crypto_id is initialized to
HASH_ALGO__LAST if the TPM algorithm is not supported. However there
are places relying on the algorithm to be valid because it is accessed
by hash_algo_name[].

On 6.12.40 I observe the following read out-of-bounds in hash_algo_name:

  ==================================================================

Seems like the TPM chip supports sha3_256, which isn't yet in
tpm_algorithms:
  tpm tpm0: TPM with unsupported bank algorithm 0x0027

That's TPM_ALG_SHA3_256 == 0x0027 from "Trusted Platform Module 2.0
Library Part 2: Structures", page 51 [1].
See also the related U-Boot algorithms update [2].

Thus solve the problem by creating a file name with "_tpm_alg_<ID>"
postfix if the crypto algorithm isn't initialized.

This is how it looks on the test machine (patch ported to v6.12 release):

Add the digest_size field to the ima_algo_desc structure to determine the
digest size from the correct source.

If the hash algorithm is among allocated PCR banks, take the value from the
TPM bank info (equal to the value from the crypto subsystem if the TPM
algorithm is supported by it; otherwise, not exceding the size of the
digest buffer in the tpm_digest structure, used by IMA).

If the hash algorithm is SHA1, use the predefined value. Lastly, if the
hash algorithm is the default one but not among the PCR banks, take the
digest size from the crypto subsystem (the default hash algorithm is
checked when parsing the ima_hash= command line option).

Finally, use the new information to correctly show the template digest in

Linus Torvalds 32a92f8c89 Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments
This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

than 'objs*'.

        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate

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

Harshit MogalapalliandAndrew Morton 10d1c75ed4 ima: verify the previous kernel's IMA buffer lies in addressable RAM
Patch series "Address page fault in ima_restore_measurement_list()", v3.

When the second-stage kernel is booted via kexec with a limiting command
line such as "mem=<size>" we observe a pafe fault that happens.

    BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff97793ff47000
    RIP: ima_restore_measurement_list+0xdc/0x45a
    #PF: error_code(0x0000)  not-present page

This happens on x86_64 only, as this is already fixed in aarch64 in
commit: cbf9c4b961 ("of: check previous kernel's ima-kexec-buffer
against memory bounds")


This patch (of 3):

When the second-stage kernel is booted with a limiting command line (e.g. 
"mem=<size>"), the IMA measurement buffer handed over from the previous
kernel may fall outside the addressable RAM of the new kernel.  Accessing
such a buffer can fault during early restore.

Introduce a small generic helper, ima_validate_range(), which verifies
that a physical [start, end] range for the previous-kernel IMA buffer lies
within addressable memory:
	- On x86, use pfn_range_is_mapped().
	- On OF based architectures, use page_is_ram().

Randy DunlapandAndrew Morton 24c776355f kernel.h: drop hex.h and update all hex.h users
Remove <linux/hex.h> from <linux/kernel.h> and update all users/callers of
hex.h interfaces to directly #include <linux/hex.h> as part of the process
of putting kernel.h on a diet.

Removing hex.h from kernel.h means that 36K C source files don't have to
pay the price of parsing hex.h for the roughly 120 C source files that
need it.

This change has been build-tested with allmodconfig on most ARCHes.  Also,
all users/callers of <linux/hex.h> in the entire source tree have been
updated if needed (if not already #included).
