Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "This only does a few sysctl moves from the kernel/sysctl.c file, the
  rest of the work has been put towards deprecating two API calls which
  incur recursion and prevent us from simplifying the registration
  process / saving memory per move. Most of the changes have been
  soaking on linux-next since v6.3-rc3.

  I've slowed down the kernel/sysctl.c moves due to Matthew Wilcox's
  feedback that we should see if we could *save* memory with these moves
  instead of incurring more memory. We currently incur more memory since
  when we move a syctl from kernel/sysclt.c out to its own file we end
  up having to add a new empty sysctl used to register it. To achieve
  saving memory we want to allow syctls to be passed without requiring
  the end element being empty, and just have our registration process
  rely on ARRAY_SIZE(). Without this, supporting both styles of sysctls
  would make the sysctl registration pretty brittle, hard to read and
  maintain as can be seen from Meng Tang's efforts to do just this [0].
  Fortunately, in order to use ARRAY_SIZE() for all sysctl registrations
  also implies doing the work to deprecate two API calls which use
  recursion in order to support sysctl declarations with subdirectories.

  And so during this development cycle quite a bit of effort went into
  this deprecation effort. I've annotated the following two APIs are
  deprecated and in few kernel releases we should be good to remove
  them:

   - register_sysctl_table()
   - register_sysctl_paths()

  During this merge window we should be able to deprecate and unexport
  register_sysctl_paths(), we can probably do that towards the end of
  this merge window.

  Deprecating register_sysctl_table() will take a bit more time but this
  pull request goes with a few example of how to do this.

  As it turns out each of the conversions to move away from either of
  these two API calls *also* saves memory. And so long term, all these
  changes *will* prove to have saved a bit of memory on boot.

  The way I see it then is if remove a user of one deprecated call, it
  gives us enough savings to move one kernel/sysctl.c out from the
  generic arrays as we end up with about the same amount of bytes.

  Since deprecating register_sysctl_table() and register_sysctl_paths()
  does not require maintainer coordination except the final unexport
  you'll see quite a bit of these changes from other pull requests, I've
  just kept the stragglers after rc3"

Using register_sysctl_paths() is really only needed if you have
subdirectories with entries. We can use the simple register_sysctl()
instead.

<title>selinux: remove the runtime disable functionality</title>

<content type='text'>
After working with the larger SELinux-based distros for several
years, we're finally at a place where we can disable the SELinux
runtime disable functionality.  The existing kernel deprecation
notice explains the functionality and why we want to remove it:

  The selinuxfs "disable" node allows SELinux to be disabled at
  runtime prior to a policy being loaded into the kernel.  If
  disabled via this mechanism, SELinux will remain disabled until
  the system is rebooted.

  The preferred method of disabling SELinux is via the "selinux=0"
  boot parameter, but the selinuxfs "disable" node was created to
  make it easier for systems with primitive bootloaders that did not
  allow for easy modification of the kernel command line.
  Unfortunately, allowing for SELinux to be disabled at runtime makes
  it difficult to secure the kernel's LSM hooks using the
  "__ro_after_init" feature.

It is that last sentence, mentioning the '__ro_after_init' hardening,
which is the real motivation for this change, and if you look at the
diffstat you'll see that the impact of this patch reaches across all
the different LSMs, helping prevent tampering at the LSM hook level.

From a SELinux perspective, it is important to note that if you
continue to disable SELinux via "/etc/selinux/config" it may appear
that SELinux is disabled, but it is simply in an uninitialized state.
If you load a policy with `load_policy -i`, you will see SELinux
come alive just as if you had loaded the policy during early-boot.

It is also worth noting that the "/sys/fs/selinux/disable" file is
always writable now, regardless of the Kconfig settings, but writing
to the file has no effect on the system, other than to display an
error on the console if a non-zero/true value is written.

Finally, in the several years where we have been working on
deprecating this functionality, there has only been one instance of
someone mentioning any user visible breakage.  In this particular
case it was an individual's kernel test system, and the workaround
documented in the deprecation notice ("selinux=0" on the kernel
command line) resolved the issue without problem.

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.
Remove legacy file_mnt_user_ns() and mnt_user_ns().

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:

 - Improve the error handling in the device cgroup such that memory
   allocation failures when updating the access policy do not
   potentially alter the policy.

 - Some minor fixes to reiserfs to ensure that it properly releases
   LSM-related xattr values.

 - Update the security_socket_getpeersec_stream() LSM hook to take
   sockptr_t values.

   Previously the net/BPF folks updated the getsockopt code in the
   network stack to leverage the sockptr_t type to make it easier to
   pass both kernel and __user pointers, but unfortunately when they did
   so they didn't convert the LSM hook.

   While there was/is no immediate risk by not converting the LSM hook,
   it seems like this is a mistake waiting to happen so this patch
   proactively does the LSM hook conversion.

 - Convert vfs_getxattr_alloc() to return an int instead of a ssize_t
   and cleanup the callers. Internally the function was never going to
   return anything larger than an int and the callers were doing some
   very odd things casting the return value; this patch fixes all that
   and helps bring a bit of sanity to vfs_getxattr_alloc() and its
   callers.

 - More verbose, and helpful, LSM debug output when the system is booted
   with "lsm.debug" on the command line. There are examples in the
   commit description, but the quick summary is that this patch provides
   better information about which LSMs are enabled and the ordering in
   which they are processed.

 - General comment and kernel-doc fixes and cleanups.

Pull landlock updates from Mickaël Salaün:
 "This adds file truncation support to Landlock, contributed by Günther
  Noack. As described by Günther [1], the goal of these patches is to
  work towards a more complete coverage of file system operations that
  are restrictable with Landlock.

  The known set of currently unsupported file system operations in
  Landlock is described at [2]. Out of the operations listed there,
  truncate is the only one that modifies file contents, so these patches
  should make it possible to prevent the direct modification of file
  contents with Landlock.

  The new LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE access right covers both the
  truncate(2) and ftruncate(2) families of syscalls, as well as open(2)
  with the O_TRUNC flag. This includes usages of creat() in the case
  where existing regular files are overwritten.

  Additionally, this introduces a new Landlock security blob associated
  with opened files, to track the available Landlock access rights at
  the time of opening the file. This is in line with Unix's general
  approach of checking the read and write permissions during open(), and
  associating this previously checked authorization with the opened
  file. An ongoing patch documents this use case [3].

  In order to treat truncate(2) and ftruncate(2) calls differently in an
  LSM hook, we split apart the existing security_path_truncate hook into
  security_path_truncate (for truncation by path) and
  security_file_truncate (for truncation of previously opened files)"

Commit 4ff09db1b79b ("bpf: net: Change sk_getsockopt() to take the
sockptr_t argument") made it possible to call sk_getsockopt()
with both user and kernel address space buffers through the use of
the sockptr_t type.  Unfortunately at the time of conversion the
security_socket_getpeersec_stream() LSM hook was written to only
accept userspace buffers, and in a desire to avoid having to change
the LSM hook the commit author simply passed the sockptr_t's
userspace buffer pointer.  Since the only sk_getsockopt() callers
at the time of conversion which used kernel sockptr_t buffers did
not allow SO_PEERSEC, and hence the
security_socket_getpeersec_stream() hook, this was acceptable but
also very fragile as future changes presented the possibility of
silently passing kernel space pointers to the LSM hook.

There are several ways to protect against this, including careful
code review of future commits, but since relying on code review to
catch bugs is a recipe for disaster and the upstream eBPF maintainer
is "strongly against defensive programming", this patch updates the
LSM hook, and all of the implementations to support sockptr_t and
safely handle both user and kernel space buffers.
