syzbot is reporting that there is a race at tomoyo_stat_update() [1].
Although it is acceptable to fail to track exact number of times policy
was updated, convert to atomic_t because this is not a hot path.

John Garry has reported that allmodconfig kernel on arm64 causes flood of
"RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!" warning. I don't know what
change caused this warning, but this warning is safe because TOMOYO uses
SRCU lock instead. Let's suppress this warning by explicitly telling that
the caller is holding SRCU lock.

<title>tomoyo: Add a kernel config option for fuzzing testing.</title>

syzbot is reporting kernel panic triggered by memory allocation fault
injection before loading TOMOYO's policy [1]. To make the fuzzing tests
useful, we need to assign a profile other than "disabled" (no-op) mode.
Therefore, let's allow syzbot to load TOMOYO's built-in policy for
"learning" mode using a kernel config option. This option must not be
enabled for kernels built for production system, for this option also
disables domain/program checks when modifying policy configuration via
/sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/ interface.

TOMOYO security module is designed to use "struct task_struct"-&gt;security
in order to allow per "struct task_struct" tracking without being disturbed
by unable to update "struct cred"-&gt;security due to override mechanism.

Now that infrastructure-managed security blob is ready, this patch updates
TOMOYO to use "struct task_struct"-&gt;security.

<title>Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function</title>

<id>96d4f267e40f9509e8a66e2b39e8b95655617693</id>
<content type='text'>
Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.
