Merge branch 'next-integrity' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
Pull integrity updates from James Morris:
"This contains a mixture of bug fixes, code cleanup, and new
functionality. Of note is the integrity cache locking fix, file change
detection, and support for a new EVM portable and immutable signature
type.
The re-introduction of the integrity cache lock (iint) fixes the
problem of attempting to take the i_rwsem shared a second time, when
it was previously taken exclusively. Defining atomic flags resolves
the original iint/i_rwsem circular locking - accessing the file data
vs. modifying the file metadata. Although it fixes the O_DIRECT
problem as well, a subsequent patch is needed to remove the explicit
O_DIRECT prevention.
For performance reasons, detecting when a file has changed and needs
to be re-measured, re-appraised, and/or re-audited, was limited to
after the last writer has closed, and only if the file data has
changed. Detecting file change is based on i_version. For filesystems
that do not support i_version, remote filesystems, or userspace
filesystems, the file was measured, appraised and/or audited once and
never re-evaluated. Now local filesystems, which do not support
i_version or are not mounted with the i_version option, assume the
file has changed and are required to re-evaluate the file. This change
does not address detecting file change on remote or userspace
filesystems.
Unlike file data signatures, which can be included and distributed in
software packages (eg. rpm, deb), the existing EVM signature, which
protects the file metadata, could not be included in software
packages, as it includes file system specific information (eg. i_ino,
possibly the UUID). This pull request defines a new EVM portable and
immutable file metadata signature format, which can be included in
software packages"
* 'next-integrity' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security:
ima/policy: fix parsing of fsuuid
ima: Use i_version only when filesystem supports it
integrity: remove unneeded initializations in integrity_iint_cache entries
ima: log message to module appraisal error
ima: pass filename to ima_rdwr_violation_check()
ima: Fix line continuation format
ima: support new "hash" and "dont_hash" policy actions
ima: re-introduce own integrity cache lock
EVM: Add support for portable signature format
EVM: Allow userland to permit modification of EVM-protected metadata
ima: relax requiring a file signature for new files with zero length
