Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a bunch of small changes built against 3.16-rc6.  The most
  significant change for users is the first patch which makes setns
  drmatically faster by removing unneded rcu handling.

  The next chunk of changes are so that "mount -o remount,.." will not
  allow the user namespace root to drop flags on a mount set by the
  system wide root.  Aks this forces read-only mounts to stay read-only,
  no-dev mounts to stay no-dev, no-suid mounts to stay no-suid, no-exec
  mounts to stay no exec and it prevents unprivileged users from messing
  with a mounts atime settings.  I have included my test case as the
  last patch in this series so people performing backports can verify
  this change works correctly.

  The next change fixes a bug in NFS that was discovered while auditing
  nsproxy users for the first optimization.  Today you can oops the
  kernel by reading /proc/fs/nfsfs/{servers,volumes} if you are clever
  with pid namespaces.  I rebased and fixed the build of the
  !CONFIG_NFS_FS case yesterday when a build bot caught my typo.  Given
  that no one to my knowledge bases anything on my tree fixing the typo
  in place seems more responsible that requiring a typo-fix to be
  backported as well.

  The last change is a small semantic cleanup introducing
  /proc/thread-self and pointing /proc/mounts and /proc/net at it.  This
  prevents several kinds of problemantic corner cases.  It is a
  user-visible change so it has a minute chance of causing regressions
  so the change to /proc/mounts and /proc/net are individual one line
  commits that can be trivially reverted.  Unfortunately I lost and
  could not find the email of the original reporter so he is not
  credited.  From at least one perspective this change to /proc/net is a
  refgression fix to allow pthread /proc/net uses that were broken by
  the introduction of the network namespace"

Pull SElinux fixes from Paul Moore:
 "Two small patches to fix a couple of build warnings in SELinux and
  NetLabel.  The patches are obvious enough that I don't think any
  additional explanation is necessary, but it basically boils down to
  the usual: I was stupid, and these patches fix some of the stupid.

  Both patches were posted earlier this week to the SELinux list, and
  that is where they sat as I didn't think there were noteworthy enough
  to go upstream at this point in time, but DaveM would rather see them
  upstream now so who am I to argue.  As the patches are both very
  small"

Pull GPIO update from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v3.17 development cycle, and
  this time we got a lot of action going on and it will continue:

   - The core GPIO library implementation has been split up in three
     different files:
     - gpiolib.c for the latest and greatest and shiny GPIO library code
       using GPIO descriptors only
     - gpiolib-legacy.c for the old integer number space API that we are
       phasing out gradually
     - gpiolib-sysfs.c for the sysfs interface that we are not entirely
       happy with, but has to live on for ABI compatibility

   - Add a flags argument to *gpiod_get* functions, with some
     backward-compatibility macros to ease transitions.  We should have
     had the flags there from the beginning it seems, now we need to
     clean up the mess.  There is a plan on how to move forward here
     devised by Alexandre Courbot and Mark Brown

   - Split off a special <linux/gpio/machine.h> header for the board
     gpio table registration, as per example from the regulator
     subsystem

   - Start to kill off the return value from gpiochip_remove() by
     removing the __must_check attribute and removing all checks inside
     the drivers/gpio directory.  The rationale is: well what were we
     supposed to do if there is an error code? Not much: print an error
     message.  And gpiolib already does that.  So make this function
     return void eventually

   - Some cleanups of hairy gpiolib code, make some functions not to be
     used outside the library private and make sure they are not
     exported, remove gpiod_lock/unlock_as_irq() as the existing
     function is for driver-internal use and fine as it is, delete
     gpio_ensure_requested() as it is not meaningful anymore

   - Support the GPIOF_ACTIVE_LOW flag from gpio_request_one() function
     calls, which is logical since this is already supported when
     referencing GPIOs from e.g. device trees

   - Switch STMPE, intel-mid, lynxpoint and ACPI (!) to use the gpiolib
     irqchip helpers cutting down on GPIO irqchip boilerplate a bit more

   - New driver for the Zynq GPIO block

   - The usual incremental improvements around a bunch of drivers

   - Janitorial syntactic and semantic cleanups by Jingoo Han, and
     Rickard Strandqvist especially"

during kexec_file_load() syscall.

This patch calls into PE file routines to verify signature of bzImage.  If
signature are valid, kexec_file_load() succeeds otherwise it fails.

Two new config options have been introduced.  First one is
CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG.  This option enforces that kernel has to be
validly signed otherwise kernel load will fail.  If this option is not
set, no signature verification will be done.  Only exception will be when
secureboot is enabled.  In that case signature verification should be
automatically enforced when secureboot is enabled.  But that will happen
when secureboot patches are merged.

Second config option is CONFIG_KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG.  This option
enables signature verification support on bzImage.  If this option is not
set and previous one is set, kernel image loading will fail because kernel
does not have support to verify signature of bzImage.

I tested these patches with both "pesign" and "sbsign" signed bzImages.

I used signing_key.priv key and signing_key.x509 cert for signing as
generated during kernel build process (if module signing is enabled).

Used following method to sign bzImage.

pesign
======
- Convert DER format cert to PEM format cert
openssl x509 -in signing_key.x509 -inform DER -out signing_key.x509.PEM -outform
PEM

- Generate a .p12 file from existing cert and private key file
openssl pkcs12 -export -out kernel-key.p12 -inkey signing_key.priv -in
signing_key.x509.PEM

- Import .p12 file into pesign db
pk12util -i /tmp/kernel-key.p12 -d /etc/pki/pesign

- Sign bzImage
pesign -i /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+ -o /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+.signed.pesign
-c "Glacier signing key - Magrathea" -s

sbsign
======
sbsign --key signing_key.priv --cert signing_key.x509.PEM --output
/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+.signed.sbsign /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+

Patch details:

Well all the hard work is done in previous patches.  Now bzImage loader
has just call into that code and verify whether bzImage signature are
valid or not.

Also create two config options.  First one is CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG.
This option enforces that kernel has to be validly signed otherwise kernel
load will fail.  If this option is not set, no signature verification will
be done.  Only exception will be when secureboot is enabled.  In that case
signature verification should be automatically enforced when secureboot is
enabled.  But that will happen when secureboot patches are merged.

Second config option is CONFIG_KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG.  This option
enables signature verification support on bzImage.  If this option is not
set and previous one is set, kernel image loading will fail because kernel
does not have support to verify signature of bzImage.

This patch does two things.  It passes EFI run time mappings to second
kernel in bootparams efi_info.  Second kernel parse this info and create
new mappings in second kernel.  That means mappings in first and second
kernel will be same.  This paves the way to enable EFI in kexec kernel.

This patch also prepares and passes EFI setup data through bootparams.
This contains bunch of information about various tables and their
addresses.

These information gathering and passing has been written along the lines
of what current kexec-tools is doing to make kexec work with UEFI.

Load purgatory code in RAM and relocate it based on the location.
Relocation code has been inspired by module relocation code and purgatory
relocation code in kexec-tools.

Also compute the checksums of loaded kexec segments and store them in
purgatory.

Arch independent code provides this functionality so that arch dependent
bootloaders can make use of it.

Helper functions are provided to get/set symbol values in purgatory which
are used by bootloaders later to set things like stack and entry point of
second kernel etc.

Create a stand alone relocatable object purgatory which runs between two
kernels.  This name, concept and some code has been taken from
kexec-tools.  Idea is that this code runs after a crash and it runs in
minimal environment.  So keep it separate from rest of the kernel and in
long term we will have to practically do no maintenance of this code.

This code also has the logic to do verify sha256 hashes of various
segments which have been loaded into memory.  So first we verify that the
kernel we are jumping to is fine and has not been corrupted and make
progress only if checsums are verified.

This code also takes care of copying some memory contents to backup region.

Next two patches provide code for purgatory.  This is a code which does
not link against the kernel and runs stand alone.  This code runs between
two kernels.  One of the primary purpose of this code is to verify the
digest of newly loaded kernel and making sure it matches the digest
computed at kernel load time.

We use sha256 for calculating digest of kexec segmetns.  Purgatory can't
use stanard crypto API as that API is not available in purgatory context.

Hence, I have copied code from crypto/sha256_generic.c and compiled it
with purgaotry code so that it could be used.  I could not #include
sha256_generic.c file here as some of the function signature requiered
little tweaking.  Original functions work with crypto API but these ones
don't

So instead of doing #include on sha256_generic.c I just copied relevant
portions of code into arch/x86/purgatory/sha256.c.  Now we shouldn't have
to touch this code at all.  Do let me know if there are better ways to
handle it.

This patch does not enable compiling of this code.  That happens in next
patch.  I wanted to highlight this change in a separate patch for easy
review.

Previous patch provided the interface definition and this patch prvides
implementation of new syscall.

Previously segment list was prepared in user space.  Now user space just
passes kernel fd, initrd fd and command line and kernel will create a
segment list internally.

This patch contains generic part of the code.  Actual segment preparation
and loading is done by arch and image specific loader.  Which comes in
next patch.

So far kexec_segment->buf was always a user space pointer as user space
passed the array of kexec_segment structures and kernel copied it.

But with new system call, list of kexec segments will be prepared by
kernel and kexec_segment->buf will point to a kernel memory.

So while I was adding code where I made assumption that ->buf is pointing
to kernel memory, sparse started giving warning.

Make ->buf a union.  And where a user space pointer is expected, access it
using ->buf and where a kernel space pointer is expected, access it using
->kbuf.  That takes care of sparse warnings.

I have added two more functions to walk through resources.

Currently walk_system_ram_range() deals with pfn and /proc/iomem can
contain partial pages.  By dealing in pfn, callback function loses the
info that last page of a memory range is a partial page and not the full
page.  So I implemented walk_system_ram_res() which returns u64 values to
callback functions and now it properly return start and end address.

walk_system_ram_range() uses find_next_system_ram() to find the next ram
resource.  This in turn only travels through siblings of top level child
and does not travers through all the nodes of the resoruce tree.  I also
need another function where I can walk through all the resources, for
example figure out where "GART" aperture is.  Figure out where ACPI memory
is.

So I wrote another function walk_iomem_res() which walks through all
/proc/iomem resources and returns matches as asked by caller.  Caller can
specify "name" of resource, start and end and flags.

Got rid of find_next_system_ram_res() and instead implemented more generic
find_next_iomem_res() which can be used to traverse top level children
only based on an argument.

kimage_normal_alloc() and kimage_crash_alloc() are doing lot of similar
things and differ only little.  So instead of having two separate
functions create a common function kimage_alloc_init() and pass it the
"flags" argument which tells whether it is normal kexec or kexec_on_panic.
 And this function should be able to deal with both the cases.

This consolidation also helps later where we can use a common function
kimage_file_alloc_init() to handle normal and crash cases for new file
based kexec syscall.

Previously do_kimage_alloc() will allocate a kimage structure, copy
segment list from user space and then do the segment list sanity
verification.

Break down this function in 3 parts.  do_kimage_alloc_init() to do actual
allocation and basic initialization of kimage structure.
copy_user_segment_list() to copy segment list from user space and
sanity_check_segment_list() to verify the sanity of segment list as passed
by user space.

In later patches, I need to only allocate kimage and not copy segment list
from user space.  So breaking down in smaller functions enables re-use of
code at other places.

This patch series does not do kernel signature verification yet.  I plan
to post another patch series for that.  Now distributions are already
signing PE/COFF bzImage with PKCS7 signature I plan to parse and verify
those signatures.

Primary goal of this patchset is to prepare groundwork so that kernel
image can be signed and signatures be verified during kexec load.  This
should help with two things.

- It should allow kexec/kdump on secureboot enabled machines.

- In general it can help even without secureboot. By being able to verify
  kernel image signature in kexec, it should help with avoiding module
  signing restrictions. Matthew Garret showed how to boot into a custom
  kernel, modify first kernel's memory and then jump back to old kernel and
  bypass any policy one wants to.

This patch (of 15):

Kexec wants to use bin2c and it wants to use it really early in the build
process. See arch/x86/purgatory/ code in later patches.

So move bin2c in scripts/basic so that it can be built very early and
be usable by arch/x86/purgatory/
