bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

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.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

f09ff307c7 safesetid: check size of policy writes
syzbot attempts to write a buffer with a large size to a sysfs entry
with writes handled by handle_policy_update(), triggering a warning
in kmalloc.

Check the size specified for write buffers before allocating.

03ca0ec138 LSM: SafeSetID: Fix warnings reported by test bot
Fix multiple cast-to-union warnings related to casting kuid_t and kgid_t
types to kid_t union type. Also fix incompatible type warning that
arises from accidental omission of "__rcu" qualifier on the struct
setid_ruleset pointer in the argument list for safesetid_file_read().

5294bac97e LSM: SafeSetID: Add GID security policy handling
The SafeSetID LSM has functionality for restricting setuid() calls based
on its configured security policies. This patch adds the analogous
functionality for setgid() calls. This is mostly a copy-and-paste change
with some code deduplication, plus slight modifications/name changes to
the policy-rule-related structs (now contain GID rules in addition to
the UID ones) and some type generalization since SafeSetID now needs to
deal with kgid_t and kuid_t types.

a60a574600 security/safesetid: Replace rcu_swap_protected() with rcu_replace_pointer()
This commit replaces the use of rcu_swap_protected() with the more
intuitively appealing rcu_replace_pointer() as a step towards removing
rcu_swap_protected().

21ab8580b3 LSM: SafeSetID: Stop releasing uninitialized ruleset
The first time a rule set is configured for SafeSetID, we shouldn't be
trying to release the previously configured ruleset, since there isn't
one. Currently, the pointer that would point to a previously configured
ruleset is uninitialized on first rule set configuration, leading to a
crash when we try to call release_ruleset with that pointer.

4f72123da5 LSM: SafeSetID: verify transitive constrainedness
Someone might write a ruleset like the following, expecting that it
securely constrains UID 1 to UIDs 1, 2 and 3:

    1:2
    1:3

However, because no constraints are applied to UIDs 2 and 3, an attacker
with UID 1 can simply first switch to UID 2, then switch to any UID from
there. The secure way to write this ruleset would be:

    1:2
    1:3
    2:2
    3:3

, which uses "transition to self" as a way to inhibit the default-allow
policy without allowing anything specific.

This is somewhat unintuitive. To make sure that policy authors don't
accidentally write insecure policies because of this, let the kernel verify
that a new ruleset does not contain any entries that are constrained, but
transitively unconstrained.

03638e62f5 LSM: SafeSetID: rewrite userspace API to atomic updates
The current API of the SafeSetID LSM uses one write() per rule, and applies
each written rule instantly. This has several downsides:

 - While a policy is being loaded, once a single parent-child pair has been
   loaded, the parent is restricted to that specific child, even if
   subsequent rules would allow transitions to other child UIDs. This means
   that during policy loading, set*uid() can randomly fail.
 - To replace the policy without rebooting, it is necessary to first flush
   all old rules. This creates a time window in which no constraints are
   placed on the use of CAP_SETUID.
 - If we want to perform sanity checks on the final policy, this requires
   that the policy isn't constructed in a piecemeal fashion without telling
   the kernel when it's done.

Other kernel APIs - including things like the userns code and netfilter -
avoid this problem by performing updates atomically. Luckily, SafeSetID
hasn't landed in a stable (upstream) release yet, so maybe it's not too
late to completely change the API.

The new API for SafeSetID is: If you want to change the policy, open
"safesetid/whitelist_policy" and write the entire policy,
newline-delimited, in there.

71a98971b9 LSM: SafeSetID: fix userns handling in securityfs
Looking at current_cred() in write handlers is bad form, stop doing that.

Also, let's just require that the write is coming from the initial user
namespace. Especially SAFESETID_WHITELIST_FLUSH requires privilege over all
namespaces, and SAFESETID_WHITELIST_ADD should probably require it as well.

aeca4e2ca6 LSM: add SafeSetID module that gates setid calls
SafeSetID gates the setid family of syscalls to restrict UID/GID
transitions from a given UID/GID to only those approved by a
system-wide whitelist. These restrictions also prohibit the given
UIDs/GIDs from obtaining auxiliary privileges associated with
CAP_SET{U/G}ID, such as allowing a user to set up user namespace UID
mappings. For now, only gating the set*uid family of syscalls is
supported, with support for set*gid coming in a future patch set.
