<content type='text'>
There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a
dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should
always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of
one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

Pull EFI changes from Ingo Molnar:

 - Preliminary RISC-V enablement - the bulk of it will arrive via the
   RISCV tree.

 - Relax decompressed image placement rules for 32-bit ARM

 - Add support for passing MOK certificate table contents via a config
   table rather than a EFI variable.

 - Add support for 18 bit DIMM row IDs in the CPER records.

 - Work around broken Dell firmware that passes the entire Boot####
   variable contents as the command line

 - Add definition of the EFI_MEMORY_CPU_CRYPTO memory attribute so we
   can identify it in the memory map listings.

 - Don't abort the boot on arm64 if the EFI RNG protocol is available
   but returns with an error

 - Replace slashes with exclamation marks in efivarfs file names

 - Split efi-pstore from the deprecated efivars sysfs code, so we can
   disable the latter on !x86.

 - Misc fixes, cleanups and updates.

<title>fs/kernel_file_read: Add "offset" arg for partial reads</title>

<id>0fa8e084648779eeb8929ae004301b3acf3bad84</id>
<content type='text'>
To perform partial reads, callers of kernel_read_file*() must have a
non-NULL file_size argument and a preallocated buffer. The new "offset"
argument can then be used to seek to specific locations in the file to
fill the buffer to, at most, "buf_size" per call.

Where possible, the LSM hooks can report whether a full file has been
read or not so that the contents can be reasoned about.

<title>IMA: Add support for file reads without contents</title>

<content type='text'>
When the kernel_read_file LSM hook is called with contents=false, IMA
can appraise the file directly, without requiring a filled buffer. When
such a buffer is available, though, IMA can continue to use it instead
of forcing a double read here.

As with the kernel_load_data LSM hook, add a "contents" flag to the
kernel_read_file LSM hook that indicates whether the LSM can expect
a matching call to the kernel_post_read_file LSM hook with the full
contents of the file. With the coming addition of partial file read
support for kernel_read_file*() API, the LSM will no longer be able
to always see the entire contents of a file during the read calls.

For cases where the LSM must read examine the complete file contents,
it will need to do so on its own every time the kernel_read_file
hook is called with contents=false (or reject such cases). Adjust all
existing LSMs to retain existing behavior.

<title>firmware_loader: Use security_post_load_data()</title>

Now that security_post_load_data() is wired up, use it instead
of the NULL file argument style of security_post_read_file(),
and update the security_kernel_load_data() call to indicate that a
security_kernel_post_load_data() call is expected.

Wire up the IMA check to match earlier logic. Perhaps a generalized
change to ima_post_load_data() might look something like this:

    return process_buffer_measurement(buf, size,
                                      kernel_load_data_id_str(load_id),
                                      read_idmap[load_id] ?: FILE_CHECK,
                                      0, NULL);

<title>LSM: Introduce kernel_post_load_data() hook</title>

<content type='text'>
There are a few places in the kernel where LSMs would like to have
visibility into the contents of a kernel buffer that has been loaded or
read. While security_kernel_post_read_file() (which includes the
buffer) exists as a pairing for security_kernel_read_file(), no such
hook exists to pair with security_kernel_load_data().

Earlier proposals for just using security_kernel_post_read_file() with a
NULL file argument were rejected (i.e. "file" should always be valid for
the security_..._file hooks, but it appears at least one case was
left in the kernel during earlier refactoring. (This will be fixed in
a subsequent patch.)

Since not all cases of security_kernel_load_data() can have a single
contiguous buffer made available to the LSM hook (e.g. kexec image
segments are separately loaded), there needs to be a way for the LSM to
reason about its expectations of the hook coverage. In order to handle
this, add a "contents" argument to the "kernel_load_data" hook that
indicates if the newly added "kernel_post_load_data" hook will be called
with the full contents once loaded. That way, LSMs requiring full contents
can choose to unilaterally reject "kernel_load_data" with contents=false
(which is effectively the existing hook coverage), but when contents=true
they can allow it and later evaluate the "kernel_post_load_data" hook
once the buffer is loaded.

With this change, LSMs can gain coverage over non-file-backed data loads
(e.g. init_module(2) and firmware userspace helper), which will happen
in subsequent patches.

Additionally prepare IMA to start processing these cases.
