commit 6037b715d6fab139742c3df8851db4c823081561 upstream.

Expand security_capable() to include cred, so that it can be usable in a
wider range of call sites.

<title>af_unix: Avoid socket-&gt;sk NULL OOPS in stream connect security hooks.</title>

[ Upstream commit 3610cda53f247e176bcbb7a7cca64bc53b12acdb ]

unix_release() can asynchornously set socket-&gt;sk to NULL, and
it does so without holding the unix_state_lock() on "other"
during stream connects.

However, the reverse mapping, sk-&gt;sk_socket, is only transitioned
to NULL under the unix_state_lock().

Therefore make the security hooks follow the reverse mapping instead
of the forward mapping.

<title>capabilities/syslog: open code cap_syslog logic to fix build failure</title>

<content type='text'>
The addition of CONFIG_SECURITY_DMESG_RESTRICT resulted in a build
failure when CONFIG_PRINTK=n.  This is because the capabilities code
which used the new option was built even though the variable in question
didn't exist.

The patch here fixes this by moving the capabilities checks out of the
LSM and into the caller.  All (known) LSMs should have been calling the
capabilities hook already so it actually makes the code organization
better to eliminate the hook altogether.

IMA always allocates an integrity structure to hold information about
every inode, but only needed this structure to track the number of
readers and writers currently accessing a given inode.  Since that
information was moved into struct inode instead of the integrity struct
this patch stops allocating the integrity stucture until it is needed.
Thus greatly reducing memory usage.

Right now secmark has lots of direct selinux calls.  Use all LSM calls and
remove all SELinux specific knowledge.  The only SELinux specific knowledge
we leave is the mode.  The only point is to make sure that other LSMs at
least test this generic code before they assume it works.  (They may also
have to make changes if they do not represent labels as strings)

All security modules shouldn't change sched_param parameter of
security_task_setscheduler().  This is not only meaningless, but also
make a harmful result if caller pass a static variable.

This patch remove policy and sched_param parameter from
security_task_setscheduler() becuase none of security module is
using it.

We can set default LSM module to DAC (which means "enable no LSM module").
If default LSM module was set to DAC, security_module_enable() must return 0
unless overridden via boot time parameter.

  unistd: add __NR_prlimit64 syscall numbers
  rlimits: implement prlimit64 syscall
  rlimits: switch more rlimit syscalls to do_prlimit
  rlimits: redo do_setrlimit to more generic do_prlimit
  rlimits: add rlimit64 structure
  rlimits: do security check under task_lock
  rlimits: allow setrlimit to non-current tasks
  rlimits: split sys_setrlimit
  rlimits: selinux, do rlimits changes under task_lock
  rlimits: make sure -&gt;rlim_max never grows in sys_setrlimit
  rlimits: add task_struct to update_rlimit_cpu
  rlimits: security, add task_struct to setrlimit

Fix up various system call number conflicts.  We not only added fanotify
system calls in the meantime, but asm-generic/unistd.h added a wait4
along with a range of reserved per-architecture system calls.
