2026-03-23crypto: sm3 - Rename CRYPTO_SM3_GENERIC to CRYPTO_SM3Eric Biggers
The kconfig options for generic crypto API modules have traditionally *not* had a "_GENERIC" suffix. Also, the "_GENERIC" suffix will make even less sense once the architecture-optimized SM3 code is moved into lib/crypto/ and the "sm3" crypto_shash is reimplemented on top of that. Thus, rename CRYPTO_SM3_GENERIC to CRYPTO_SM3.

2026-03-20xen/privcmd: add boot control for restricted usage in domUJuergen Gross
When running in an unprivileged domU under Xen, the privcmd driver is restricted to allow only hypercalls against a target domain, for which the current domU is acting as a device model. Add a boot parameter "unrestricted" to allow all hypercalls (the hypervisor will still refuse destructive hypercalls affecting other guests). Make this new parameter effective only in case the domU wasn't started using secure boot, as otherwise hypercalls targeting the domU itself might result in violating the secure boot functionality. This is achieved by adding another lockdown reason, which can be tested to not being set when applying the "unrestricted" option.

2026-03-17ima: remove buggy support for asynchronous hashesEric Biggers
IMA computes hashes using the crypto_shash or crypto_ahash API. The latter is used only when ima.ahash_minsize is set on the command line, and its purpose is ostensibly to make the hash computation faster. However, going off the CPU to a crypto engine and back again is actually quite slow, especially compared with the acceleration that is built into modern CPUs and the kernel now enables by default for most algorithms. Typical performance results for SHA-256 on a modern platform can be found at https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20250615184638.GA1480@sol/ Partly for this reason, several other kernel subsystems have already dropped support for the crypto_ahash API. The other problem with crypto_ahash is that bugs are also common, not just in the underlying drivers, but also in the code using it, since it is very difficult to use correctly. Just from a quick review, here are some of the bugs I noticed in IMA's ahash code: - [Use after free] ima_alloc_atfm() isn't thread-safe and can trigger a use-after-free if multiple threads try to initialize the global ima_ahash_tfm at the same time. - [Deadlock] If only one buffer is allocated and there is an error reading from the file, then ahash_wait() is executed twice, causing a deadlock in wait_for_completion(). - [Crash or incorrect hash computed] calc_buffer_ahash_atfm() is sometimes passed stack buffers which can be vmalloc addresses, but it puts them in a scatterlist assuming they are linear addresses. This causes the hashing to be done on the wrong physical address. - [Truncation to 32-bit length] ima_alloc_pages() incorrectly assumes an loff_t value fits in an unsigned long. calc_buffer_ahash_atfm() incorrectly assumes that a loff_t value fits in an unsigned int. So, not exactly a great track record so far, even disregarding driver bugs which are an even larger problem. Fortunately, in practice it's unlikely that many users are actually setting the ima.ahash_minsize kernel command-line parameter which enables this code. However, given that this code is almost certainly no longer useful (if it ever was), let's just remove it instead of attempting to fix all these issues.

2026-03-17EVM: add comment describing why ino field is still unsigned longJeff Layton
Mimi pointed out that we didn't widen the inode number field in struct h_misc alongside the inode->i_ino widening. While we could make an equivalent change there, that would require EVM resigning on all 32-bit hosts. Instead, leave the field as an unsigned long. This should have no effect on 64-bit hosts, and allow things to continue working on 32-bit hosts in the cases where the i_ino fits in 32-bits. Add a comment explaining why it's being left as unsigned long.

2026-03-10landlock: Clean up interrupted thread logic in TSYNCYihan Ding
In landlock_restrict_sibling_threads(), when the calling thread is interrupted while waiting for sibling threads to prepare, it executes a recovery path. Previously, this path included a wait_for_completion() call on all_prepared to prevent a Use-After-Free of the local shared_ctx. However, this wait is redundant. Exiting the main do-while loop already leads to a bottom cleanup section that unconditionally waits for all_finished. Therefore, replacing the wait with a simple break is safe, prevents UAF, and correctly unblocks the remaining task_works. Clean up the error path by breaking the loop and updating the surrounding comments to accurately reflect the state machine.

2026-03-10landlock: Serialize TSYNC thread restrictionYihan Ding
syzbot found a deadlock in landlock_restrict_sibling_threads(). When multiple threads concurrently call landlock_restrict_self() with sibling thread restriction enabled, they can deadlock by mutually queueing task_works on each other and then blocking in kernel space (waiting for the other to finish). Fix this by serializing the TSYNC operations within the same process using the exec_update_lock. This prevents concurrent invocations from deadlocking. We use down_write_trylock() and restart the syscall if the lock cannot be acquired immediately. This ensures that if a thread fails to get the lock, it will return to userspace, allowing it to process any pending TSYNC task_works from the lock holder, and then transparently restart the syscall.

2026-03-09apparmor: fix race between freeing data and fs accessing itJohn Johansen
AppArmor was putting the reference to i_private data on its end after removing the original entry from the file system. However the inode can aand does live beyond that point and it is possible that some of the fs call back functions will be invoked after the reference has been put, which results in a race between freeing the data and accessing it through the fs. While the rawdata/loaddata is the most likely candidate to fail the race, as it has the fewest references. If properly crafted it might be possible to trigger a race for the other types stored in i_private. Fix this by moving the put of i_private referenced data to the correct place which is during inode eviction.

2026-03-09apparmor: fix race on rawdata dereferenceJohn Johansen
There is a race condition that leads to a use-after-free situation: because the rawdata inodes are not refcounted, an attacker can start open()ing one of the rawdata files, and at the same time remove the last reference to this rawdata (by removing the corresponding profile, for example), which frees its struct aa_loaddata; as a result, when seq_rawdata_open() is reached, i_private is a dangling pointer and freed memory is accessed. The rawdata inodes weren't refcounted to avoid a circular refcount and were supposed to be held by the profile rawdata reference. However during profile removal there is a window where the vfs and profile destruction race, resulting in the use after free. Fix this by moving to a double refcount scheme. Where the profile refcount on rawdata is used to break the circular dependency. Allowing for freeing of the rawdata once all inode references to the rawdata are put.

2026-03-09apparmor: fix differential encoding verificationJohn Johansen
Differential encoding allows loops to be created if it is abused. To prevent this the unpack should verify that a diff-encode chain terminates. Unfortunately the differential encode verification had two bugs. 1. it conflated states that had gone through check and already been marked, with states that were currently being checked and marked. This means that loops in the current chain being verified are treated as a chain that has already been verified. 2. the order bailout on already checked states compared current chain check iterators j,k instead of using the outer loop iterator i. Meaning a step backwards in states in the current chain verification was being mistaken for moving to an already verified state. Move to a double mark scheme where already verified states get a different mark, than the current chain being kept. This enables us to also drop the backwards verification check that was the cause of the second error as any already verified state is already marked.

2026-03-09apparmor: fix unprivileged local user can do privileged policy managementJohn Johansen
An unprivileged local user can load, replace, and remove profiles by opening the apparmorfs interfaces, via a confused deputy attack, by passing the opened fd to a privileged process, and getting the privileged process to write to the interface. This does require a privileged target that can be manipulated to do the write for the unprivileged process, but once such access is achieved full policy management is possible and all the possible implications that implies: removing confinement, DoS of system or target applications by denying all execution, by-passing the unprivileged user namespace restriction, to exploiting kernel bugs for a local privilege escalation. The policy management interface can not have its permissions simply changed from 0666 to 0600 because non-root processes need to be able to load policy to different policy namespaces. Instead ensure the task writing the interface has privileges that are a subset of the task that opened the interface. This is already done via policy for confined processes, but unconfined can delegate access to the opened fd, by-passing the usual policy check.

2026-03-09apparmor: fix side-effect bug in match_char() macro usageMassimiliano Pellizzer
The match_char() macro evaluates its character parameter multiple times when traversing differential encoding chains. When invoked with *str++, the string pointer advances on each iteration of the inner do-while loop, causing the DFA to check different characters at each iteration and therefore skip input characters. This results in out-of-bounds reads when the pointer advances past the input buffer boundary.

2026-03-06treewide: change inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64Jeff Layton
On 32-bit architectures, unsigned long is only 32 bits wide, which causes 64-bit inode numbers to be silently truncated. Several filesystems (NFS, XFS, BTRFS, etc.) can generate inode numbers that exceed 32 bits, and this truncation can lead to inode number collisions and other subtle bugs on 32-bit systems. Change the type of inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64 to ensure that inode numbers are always represented as 64-bit values regardless of architecture. Update all format specifiers treewide from %lu/%lx to %llu/%llx to match the new type, along with corresponding local variable types. This is the bulk treewide conversion. Earlier patches in this series handled trace events separately to allow trace field reordering for better struct packing on 32-bit.

This extends the region that the directory is locked for, and also performs a lookup. The lock extension is of no real consequence. The lookup uses simple_lookup() and so always succeeds.

2026-03-04landlock: Fully release unused TSYNC work entriesMickaël Salaün
If task_work_add() failed, ctx->task is put but the tsync_works struct is not reset to its previous state. The first consequence is that the kernel allocates memory for dying threads, which could lead to user-accounted memory exhaustion (not very useful nor specific to this case). The second consequence is that task_work_cancel(), called by cancel_tsync_works(), can dereference a NULL task pointer. Fix this issues by keeping a consistent works->size wrt the added task work. This is done in a new tsync_works_trim() helper which also cleans up the shared_ctx and work fields. As a safeguard, add a pointer check to cancel_tsync_works() and update tsync_works_release() accordingly.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

2026-02-18apparmor: fix signedness bug in unpack_tags()Massimiliano Pellizzer
Smatch static checker warning: security/apparmor/policy_unpack.c:966 unpack_pdb() warn: unsigned 'unpack_tags(e, &pdb->tags, info)' is never less than zero. unpack_tags() is declared with return type size_t (unsigned) but returns negative errno values on failure. The caller in unpack_pdb() tests the return with `< 0`, which is always false for an unsigned type, making error handling dead code. Malformed tag data would be silently accepted instead of causing a load failure. Change return type of unpack_tags() from size_t to int to match the functions's actual semantic. Fixes: 3d28e2397af7 ("apparmor: add support loading per permission tagging") Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Massimiliano Pellizzer <mpellizzer.dev@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John Johansen <john.johansen@canonical.com>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados: - Remove macros from proc handler converters Replace the proc converter macros with "regular" functions. Though it is more verbose than the macro version, it helps when debugging and better aligns with coding-style.rst. - General cleanup Remove superfluous ctl_table forward declarations. Const qualify the memory_allocation_profiling_sysctl and loadpin_sysctl_table arrays. Add missing kernel doc to proc_dointvec_conv. - Testing This series was run through sysctl selftests/kunit test suite in x86_64.
