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.

Linus Torvalds bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        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
conversion.

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 *".

Massimiliano Pellizzer 08020dbe31 apparmor: fix signedness bug in unpack_tags()
Smatch static checker warning:
    security/apparmor/policy_unpack.c:966 unpack_pdb()
    warn: unsigned 'unpack_tags(e, &pdb->tags, info)' is never less than zero.

unpack_tags() is declared with return type size_t (unsigned) but returns
negative errno values on failure. The caller in unpack_pdb() tests the
return with `< 0`, which is always false for an unsigned type, making
error handling dead code. Malformed tag data would be silently accepted
instead of causing a load failure.

Change return type of unpack_tags() from size_t to int to match the
functions's actual semantic.

Georgia Garcia df9ac55abd apparmor: fix invalid deref of rawdata when export_binary is unset
If the export_binary parameter is disabled on runtime, profiles that
were loaded before that will still have their rawdata stored in
apparmorfs, with a symbolic link to the rawdata on the policy
directory. When one of those profiles are replaced, the rawdata is set
to NULL, but when trying to resolve the symbolic links to rawdata for
that profile, it will try to dereference profile->rawdata->name when
profile->rawdata is now NULL causing an oops. Fix it by checking if
rawdata is set.

John Johansen 0b6a6b72b3 apparmor: document the buffer hold, add an overflow guard
The buffer hold is a measure of contention, but it is tracked per cpu
where the lock is a globabl resource. On some systems (eg. real time)
there is no guarantee that the code will be on the same cpu pre, and
post spinlock acquisition, nor that the buffer will be put back to
the same percpu cache when we are done with it.

Because of this the hold value can move asynchronous to the buffers on
the cache, meaning it is possible to underflow, and potentially in really
pathelogical cases overflow.

Zhengmian Hu 640cf2f095 apparmor: avoid per-cpu hold underflow in aa_get_buffer
When aa_get_buffer() pulls from the per-cpu list it unconditionally
decrements cache->hold. If hold reaches 0 while count is still non-zero,
the unsigned decrement wraps to UINT_MAX. This keeps hold non-zero for a
very long time, so aa_put_buffer() never returns buffers to the global
list, which can starve other CPUs and force repeated kmalloc(aa_g_path_max)
allocations.

Guard the decrement so hold never underflows.

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.
