Pull notification queue from David Howells:
 "This adds a general notification queue concept and adds an event
  source for keys/keyrings, such as linking and unlinking keys and
  changing their attributes.

  Thanks to Debarshi Ray, we do have a pull request to use this to fix a
  problem with gnome-online-accounts - as mentioned last time:

     https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-online-accounts/merge_requests/47

  Without this, g-o-a has to constantly poll a keyring-based kerberos
  cache to find out if kinit has changed anything.

  [ There are other notification pending: mount/sb fsinfo notifications
    for libmount that Karel Zak and Ian Kent have been working on, and
    Christian Brauner would like to use them in lxc, but let's see how
    this one works first ]

  LSM hooks are included:

   - A set of hooks are provided that allow an LSM to rule on whether or
     not a watch may be set. Each of these hooks takes a different
     "watched object" parameter, so they're not really shareable. The
     LSM should use current's credentials. [Wanted by SELinux &amp; Smack]

   - A hook is provided to allow an LSM to rule on whether or not a
     particular message may be posted to a particular queue. This is
     given the credentials from the event generator (which may be the
     system) and the watch setter. [Wanted by Smack]

  I've provided SELinux and Smack with implementations of some of these
  hooks.

  WHY
  ===

  Key/keyring notifications are desirable because if you have your
  kerberos tickets in a file/directory, your Gnome desktop will monitor
  that using something like fanotify and tell you if your credentials
  cache changes.

  However, we also have the ability to cache your kerberos tickets in
  the session, user or persistent keyring so that it isn't left around
  on disk across a reboot or logout. Keyrings, however, cannot currently
  be monitored asynchronously, so the desktop has to poll for it - not
  so good on a laptop. This facility will allow the desktop to avoid the
  need to poll.

  DESIGN DECISIONS
  ================

   - The notification queue is built on top of a standard pipe. Messages
     are effectively spliced in. The pipe is opened with a special flag:

        pipe2(fds, O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE);

     The special flag has the same value as O_EXCL (which doesn't seem
     like it will ever be applicable in this context)[?]. It is given up
     front to make it a lot easier to prohibit splice&amp;co from accessing
     the pipe.

     [?] Should this be done some other way?  I'd rather not use up a new
         O_* flag if I can avoid it - should I add a pipe3() system call
         instead?

     The pipe is then configured::

        ioctl(fds[1], IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_SIZE, queue_depth);
        ioctl(fds[1], IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_FILTER, &amp;filter);

     Messages are then read out of the pipe using read().

   - It should be possible to allow write() to insert data into the
     notification pipes too, but this is currently disabled as the
     kernel has to be able to insert messages into the pipe *without*
     holding pipe-&gt;mutex and the code to make this work needs careful
     auditing.

   - sendfile(), splice() and vmsplice() are disabled on notification
     pipes because of the pipe-&gt;mutex issue and also because they
     sometimes want to revert what they just did - but one or more
     notification messages might've been interleaved in the ring.

   - The kernel inserts messages with the wait queue spinlock held. This
     means that pipe_read() and pipe_write() have to take the spinlock
     to update the queue pointers.

   - Records in the buffer are binary, typed and have a length so that
     they can be of varying size.

     This allows multiple heterogeneous sources to share a common
     buffer; there are 16 million types available, of which I've used
     just a few, so there is scope for others to be used. Tags may be
     specified when a watchpoint is created to help distinguish the
     sources.

   - Records are filterable as types have up to 256 subtypes that can be
     individually filtered. Other filtration is also available.

   - Notification pipes don't interfere with each other; each may be
     bound to a different set of watches. Any particular notification
     will be copied to all the queues that are currently watching for it
     - and only those that are watching for it.

   - When recording a notification, the kernel will not sleep, but will
     rather mark a queue as having lost a message if there's
     insufficient space. read() will fabricate a loss notification
     message at an appropriate point later.

   - The notification pipe is created and then watchpoints are attached
     to it, using one of:

        keyctl_watch_key(KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, fds[1], 0x01);
        watch_mount(AT_FDCWD, "/", 0, fd, 0x02);
        watch_sb(AT_FDCWD, "/mnt", 0, fd, 0x03);

     where in both cases, fd indicates the queue and the number after is
     a tag between 0 and 255.

   - Watches are removed if either the notification pipe is destroyed or
     the watched object is destroyed. In the latter case, a message will
     be generated indicating the enforced watch removal.

  Things I want to avoid:

   - Introducing features that make the core VFS dependent on the
     network stack or networking namespaces (ie. usage of netlink).

   - Dumping all this stuff into dmesg and having a daemon that sits
     there parsing the output and distributing it as this then puts the
     responsibility for security into userspace and makes handling
     namespaces tricky. Further, dmesg might not exist or might be
     inaccessible inside a container.

   - Letting users see events they shouldn't be able to see.

  TESTING AND MANPAGES
  ====================

   - The keyutils tree has a pipe-watch branch that has keyctl commands
     for making use of notifications. Proposed manual pages can also be
     found on this branch, though a couple of them really need to go to
     the main manpages repository instead.

     If the kernel supports the watching of keys, then running "make
     test" on that branch will cause the testing infrastructure to spawn
     a monitoring process on the side that monitors a notifications pipe
     for all the key/keyring changes induced by the tests and they'll
     all be checked off to make sure they happened.

        https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/keyutils.git/log/?h=pipe-watch

   - A test program is provided (samples/watch_queue/watch_test) that
     can be used to monitor for keyrings, mount and superblock events.
     Information on the notifications is simply logged to stdout"

<content type='text'>
Even after commit c624adc9cb6e ("samples: fix binderfs sample"), this
sample is never compiled.

'hostprogs' teaches Kbuild that this is a host program, but not enough
to order to compile it. You must add it to 'always-y' to really compile
it.

Since this sample has never been compiled in upstream, various issues
are left unnoticed.

[1] compilers without &lt;linux/android/binderfs.h&gt; are still widely used

&lt;linux/android/binderfs.h&gt; is only available since commit c13295ad219d
("binderfs: rename header to binderfs.h"), i.e., Linux 5.0

If your compiler is based on UAPI headers older than Linux 5.0, you
will see the following error:

  samples/binderfs/binderfs_example.c:16:10: fatal error: linux/android/binderfs.h: No such file or directory
   #include &lt;linux/android/binderfs.h&gt;
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  compilation terminated.

You cannot rely on compilers having such a new header.

The common approach is to install UAPI headers of this kernel into
usr/include, and then add it to the header search path.

I added 'depends on HEADERS_INSTALL' in Kconfig, and '-I usr/include'
compiler flag in Makefile.

[2] compile the sample for target architecture

Because headers_install works for the target architecture, only the
native compiler was able to build sample code that requires
'-I usr/include'.

Commit 7f3a59db274c ("kbuild: add infrastructure to build userspace
programs") added the new syntax 'userprogs' to compile user-space
programs for the target architecture.

Use it, and then 'ifndef CROSS_COMPILE' will go away.

I added 'depends on CC_CAN_LINK' because $(CC) is not necessarily
capable of linking user-space programs.

[3] use subdir-y to descend into samples/binderfs

Since this directory does not contain any kernel-space code, it has no
point in generating built-in.a or modules.order.

Replace obj-$(CONFIG_...) with subdir-$(CONFIG_...).

[4] -Wunused-variable warning

If I compile this, I see the following warning.

  samples/binderfs/binderfs_example.c: In function 'main':
  samples/binderfs/binderfs_example.c:21:9: warning: unused variable 'len' [-Wunused-variable]
     21 |  size_t len;
        |         ^~~

I removed the unused 'len'.

[5] CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDERFS is not required

Since this is a user-space standalone program, it is independent of
the kernel configuration.

Remove 'depends on ANDROID_BINDERFS'.

changes:

The sample program is run like:

	./samples/watch_queue/watch_test

and watches "/" for mount changes and the current session keyring for key
changes:

	# keyctl add user a a @s
	1035096409
	# keyctl unlink 1035096409 @s

producing:

	# ./watch_test
	read() = 16
	NOTIFY[000]: ty=000001 sy=02 i=00000110
	KEY 2ffc2e5d change=2[linked] aux=1035096409
	read() = 16
	NOTIFY[000]: ty=000001 sy=02 i=00000110
	KEY 2ffc2e5d change=3[unlinked] aux=1035096409

Other events may be produced, such as with a failing disk:

	read() = 22
	NOTIFY[000]: ty=000003 sy=02 i=00000416
	USB 3-7.7 dev-reset e=0 r=0
	read() = 24
	NOTIFY[000]: ty=000002 sy=06 i=00000418
	BLOCK 00800050 e=6[critical medium] s=64000ef8

This corresponds to:

	blk_update_request: critical medium error, dev sdf, sector 1677725432 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 0

Kbuild now supports the 'userprogs' syntax to compile userspace
programs for the same architecture as the kernel.

Add the entry to samples/Makefile to put this into the build bot
coverage.

I also added the CONFIG option guarded by 'depends on CC_CAN_LINK'
because $(CC) may not provide libc.

<title>samples: uhid: build sample program for target architecture</title>

This userspace program includes UAPI headers exported to usr/include/.
'make headers' always works for the target architecture (i.e. the same
architecture as the kernel), so the sample program should be built for
the target as well. Kbuild now supports 'userprogs' for that.

Add the entry to samples/Makefile to put this into the build bot
coverage.

I also added the CONFIG option guarded by 'depends on CC_CAN_LINK'
because $(CC) may not provide libc.

This reverts commit 8728497895794d1f207a836e02dae762ad175d56.

samples/ contains only sub-directories.

Because OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD does not work recursively,
this line has no effect.

The code in the 'samples' subdirectory isn't part of the kernel, so
there's no need to validate it.
