Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore: - Promote IMA/EVM to a proper LSM This is the bulk of the diffstat, and the source of all the changes in the VFS code. Prior to the start of the LSM stacking work it was important that IMA/EVM were separate from the rest of the LSMs, complete with their own hooks, infrastructure, etc. as it was the only way to enable IMA/EVM at the same time as a LSM. However, now that the bulk of the LSM infrastructure supports multiple simultaneous LSMs, we can simplify things greatly by bringing IMA/EVM into the LSM infrastructure as proper LSMs. This is something I've wanted to see happen for quite some time and Roberto was kind enough to put in the work to make it happen. - Use the LSM hook default values to simplify the call_int_hook() macro Previously the call_int_hook() macro required callers to supply a default return value, despite a default value being specified when the LSM hook was defined. This simplifies the macro by using the defined default return value which makes life easier for callers and should also reduce the number of return value bugs in the future (we've had a few pop up recently, hence this work). - Use the KMEM_CACHE() macro instead of kmem_cache_create() The guidance appears to be to use the KMEM_CACHE() macro when possible and there is no reason why we can't use the macro, so let's use it. - Fix a number of comment typos in the LSM hook comment blocks Not much to say here, we fixed some questionable grammar decisions in the LSM hook comment blocks. * tag 'lsm-pr-20240312' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/lsm: (28 commits) cred: Use KMEM_CACHE() instead of kmem_cache_create() lsm: use default hook return value in call_int_hook() lsm: fix typos in security/security.c comment headers integrity: Remove LSM ima: Make it independent from 'integrity' LSM evm: Make it independent from 'integrity' LSM evm: Move to LSM infrastructure ima: Move IMA-Appraisal to LSM infrastructure ima: Move to LSM infrastructure integrity: Move integrity_kernel_module_request() to IMA security: Introduce key_post_create_or_update hook security: Introduce inode_post_remove_acl hook security: Introduce inode_post_set_acl hook security: Introduce inode_post_create_tmpfile hook security: Introduce path_post_mknod hook security: Introduce file_release hook security: Introduce file_post_open hook security: Introduce inode_post_removexattr hook security: Introduce inode_post_setattr hook security: Align inode_setattr hook definition with EVM ...
