<content type='text'>
This commit fixes the following security hole affecting systems where
all of the following conditions are fulfilled:

 - The fs.suid_dumpable sysctl is set to 2.
 - The kernel.core_pattern sysctl's value starts with "/". (Systems
   where kernel.core_pattern starts with "|/" are not affected.)
 - Unprivileged user namespace creation is permitted. (This is
   true on Linux &gt;=3.8, but some distributions disallow it by
   default using a distro patch.)

Under these conditions, if a program executes under secure exec rules,
causing it to run with the SUID_DUMP_ROOT flag, then unshares its user
namespace, changes its root directory and crashes, the coredump will be
written using fsuid=0 and a path derived from kernel.core_pattern - but
this path is interpreted relative to the root directory of the process,
allowing the attacker to control where a coredump will be written with
root privileges.

To fix the security issue, always interpret core_pattern for dumps that
are written under SUID_DUMP_ROOT relative to the root directory of init.

Pull xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
 "There's quite a lot in this request, and there's some cross-over with
  ext4, dax and quota code due to the nature of the changes being made.

  As for the rest of the XFS changes, there are lots of little things
  all over the place, which add up to a lot of changes in the end.

  The major changes are that we've reduced the size of the struct
  xfs_inode by ~100 bytes (gives an inode cache footprint reduction of
  &gt;10%), the writepage code now only does a single set of mapping tree
  lockups so uses less CPU, delayed allocation reservations won't
  overrun under random write loads anymore, and we added compile time
  verification for on-disk structure sizes so we find out when a commit
  or platform/compiler change breaks the on disk structure as early as
  possible.

  Change summary:

   - error propagation for direct IO failures fixes for both XFS and
     ext4
   - new quota interfaces and XFS implementation for iterating all the
     quota IDs in the filesystem
   - locking fixes for real-time device extent allocation
   - reduction of duplicate information in the xfs and vfs inode, saving
     roughly 100 bytes of memory per cached inode.
   - buffer flag cleanup
   - rework of the writepage code to use the generic write clustering
     mechanisms
   - several fixes for inode flag based DAX enablement
   - rework of remount option parsing
   - compile time verification of on-disk format structure sizes
   - delayed allocation reservation overrun fixes
   - lots of little error handling fixes
   - small memory leak fixes
   - enable xfsaild freezing again"

  xfs: always set rvalp in xfs_dir2_node_trim_free

This patch adds the renamed functions moved from the f2fs crypto files.

1. definitions for per-file encryption used by ext4 and f2fs.

2. crypto.c for encrypt/decrypt functions
 a. IO preparation:
  - fscrypt_get_ctx / fscrypt_release_ctx
 b. before IOs:
  - fscrypt_encrypt_page
  - fscrypt_decrypt_page
  - fscrypt_zeroout_range
 c. after IOs:
  - fscrypt_decrypt_bio_pages
  - fscrypt_pullback_bio_page
  - fscrypt_restore_control_page

3. policy.c supporting context management.
 a. For ioctls:
  - fscrypt_process_policy
  - fscrypt_get_policy
 b. For context permission
  - fscrypt_has_permitted_context
  - fscrypt_inherit_context

4. keyinfo.c to handle permissions
  - fscrypt_get_encryption_info
  - fscrypt_free_encryption_info

5. fname.c to support filename encryption
 a. general wrapper functions
  - fscrypt_fname_disk_to_usr
  - fscrypt_fname_usr_to_disk
  - fscrypt_setup_filename
  - fscrypt_free_filename

 b. specific filename handling functions
  - fscrypt_fname_alloc_buffer
  - fscrypt_fname_free_buffer

This adds a flag that tells the file system that this is a high priority
request for which it's worth to poll the hardware.  The flag is purely
advisory and can be ignored if not supported.

This way we can set kiocb flags also from the sync read/write path for
the read_iter/write_iter operations.  For now there is no way to pass
flags to plain read/write operations as there is no real need for that,
and all flags passed are explicitly rejected for these files.

<title>ima: load policy using path</title>

We currently cannot do appraisal or signature vetting of IMA policies
since we currently can only load IMA policies by writing the contents
of the policy directly in, as follows:

cat policy-file &gt; &lt;securityfs&gt;/ima/policy

If we provide the kernel the path to the IMA policy so it can load
the policy itself it'd be able to later appraise or vet the file
signature if it has one.  This patch adds support to load the IMA
policy with a given path as follows:

echo /etc/ima/ima_policy &gt; /sys/kernel/security/ima/policy

Changelog v4+:
- moved kernel_read_file_from_path() error messages to callers
v3:
- moved kernel_read_file_from_path() to a separate patch
v2:
- after re-ordering the patches, replace calling integrity_kernel_read()
  to read the file with kernel_read_file_from_path() (Mimi)
- Patch description re-written by Luis R. Rodriguez
