futex: Add sys_futex_requeue()
Finish off the 'simple' futex2 syscall group by adding sys_futex_requeue(). Unlike sys_futex_{wait,wake}() its arguments are too numerous to fit into a regular syscall. As such, use struct futex_waitv to pass the 'source' and 'destination' futexes to the syscall.
This syscall implements what was previously known as FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE and uses {val, uaddr, flags} for source and {uaddr, flags} for destination.
This design explicitly allows requeueing between different types of futex by having a different flags word per uaddr.

Merge tag 'v6.6-vfs.fchmodat2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull fchmodat2 system call from Christian Brauner: "This adds the fchmodat2() system call. It is a revised version of the fchmodat() system call, adding a missing flag argument. Support for both AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW and AT_EMPTY_PATH are included.
Adding this system call revision has been a longstanding request but so far has always fallen through the cracks. While the kernel implementation of fchmodat() does not have a flag argument the libc provided POSIX-compliant fchmodat(3) version does. Both glibc and musl have to implement a workaround in order to support AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW (see [1] and [2]).
The workaround is brittle because it relies not just on O_PATH and O_NOFOLLOW semantics and procfs magic links but also on our rather inconsistent symlink semantics.
This gives userspace a proper fchmodat2() system call that libcs can use to properly implement fchmodat(3) and allows them to get rid of their hacks. In this case it will immediately benefit them as the current workaround is already defunct because of aformentioned inconsistencies.
In addition to AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, give userspace the ability to use AT_EMPTY_PATH with fchmodat2(). This is already possible with fchownat() so there's no reason to not also support it for fchmodat2().
The implementation is simple and comes with selftests. Implementation of the system call and wiring up the system call are done as separate patches even though they could arguably be one patch. But in case there are merge conflicts from other system call additions it can be beneficial to have separate patches"

Merge tag 'lsm-pr-20240105' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/lsm
Pull security module updates from Paul Moore:
- Add three new syscalls: lsm_list_modules(), lsm_get_self_attr(), and lsm_set_self_attr().
The first syscall simply lists the LSMs enabled, while the second and third get and set the current process' LSM attributes. Yes, these syscalls may provide similar functionality to what can be found under /proc or /sys, but they were designed to support multiple, simultaneaous (stacked) LSMs from the start as opposed to the current /proc based solutions which were created at a time when only one LSM was allowed to be active at a given time.
We have spent considerable time discussing ways to extend the existing /proc interfaces to support multiple, simultaneaous LSMs and even our best ideas have been far too ugly to support as a kernel API; after +20 years in the kernel, I felt the LSM layer had established itself enough to justify a handful of syscalls.
Support amongst the individual LSM developers has been nearly unanimous, with a single objection coming from Tetsuo (TOMOYO) as he is worried that the LSM_ID_XXX token concept will make it more difficult for out-of-tree LSMs to survive. Several members of the LSM community have demonstrated the ability for out-of-tree LSMs to continue to exist by picking high/unused LSM_ID values as well as pointing out that many kernel APIs rely on integer identifiers, e.g. syscalls (!), but unfortunately Tetsuo's objections remain.
My personal opinion is that while I have no interest in penalizing out-of-tree LSMs, I'm not going to penalize in-tree development to support out-of-tree development, and I view this as a necessary step forward to support the push for expanded LSM stacking and reduce our reliance on /proc and /sys which has occassionally been problematic for some container users. Finally, we have included the linux-api folks on (all?) recent revisions of the patchset and addressed all of their concerns.
- Add a new security_file_ioctl_compat() LSM hook to handle the 32-bit ioctls on 64-bit systems problem.
This patch includes support for all of the existing LSMs which provide ioctl hooks, although it turns out only SELinux actually cares about the individual ioctls. It is worth noting that while Casey (Smack) and Tetsuo (TOMOYO) did not give explicit ACKs to this patch, they did both indicate they are okay with the changes.
- Fix a potential memory leak in the CALIPSO code when IPv6 is disabled at boot.
While it's good that we are fixing this, I doubt this is something users are seeing in the wild as you need to both disable IPv6 and then attempt to configure IPv6 labeled networking via NetLabel/CALIPSO; that just doesn't make much sense.
Normally this would go through netdev, but Jakub asked me to take this patch and of all the trees I maintain, the LSM tree seemed like the best fit.
- Update the LSM MAINTAINERS entry with additional information about our process docs, patchwork, bug reporting, etc.
I also noticed that the Lockdown LSM is missing a dedicated MAINTAINERS entry so I've added that to the pull request. I've been working with one of the major Lockdown authors/contributors to see if they are willing to step up and assume a Lockdown maintainer role; hopefully that will happen soon, but in the meantime I'll continue to look after it.
- Add a handful of mailmap entries for Serge Hallyn and myself.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.8.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains the work to retrieve detailed information about mounts via two new system calls. This is hopefully the beginning of the end of the saga that started with fsinfo() years ago.
The LWN articles in [1] and [2] can serve as a summary so we can avoid rehashing everything here.
At LSFMM in May 2022 we got into a room and agreed on what we want to do about fsinfo(). Basically, split it into pieces. This is the first part of that agreement. Specifically, it is concerned with retrieving information about mounts. So this only concerns the mount information retrieval, not the mount table change notification, or the extended filesystem specific mount option work. That is separate work.
Currently mounts have a 32bit id. Mount ids are already in heavy use by libmount and other low-level userspace but they can't be relied upon because they're recycled very quickly. We agreed that mounts should carry a unique 64bit id by which they can be referenced directly. This is now implemented as part of this work.
The new 64bit mount id is exposed in statx() through the new STATX_MNT_ID_UNIQUE flag. If the flag isn't raised the old mount id is returned. If it is raised and the kernel supports the new 64bit mount id the flag is raised in the result mask and the new 64bit mount id is returned. New and old mount ids do not overlap so they cannot be conflated.
Two new system calls are introduced that operate on the 64bit mount id: statmount() and listmount(). A summary of the api and usage can be found on LWN as well (cf. [3]) but of course, I'll provide a summary here as well.
Both system calls rely on struct mnt_id_req. Which is the request struct used to pass the 64bit mount id identifying the mount to operate on. It is extensible to allow for the addition of new parameters and for future use in other apis that make use of mount ids.
statmount() mimicks the semantics of statx() and exposes a set flags that userspace may raise in mnt_id_req to request specific information to be retrieved. A statmount() call returns a struct statmount filled in with information about the requested mount. Supported requests are indicated by raising the request flag passed in struct mnt_id_req in the @mask argument in struct statmount.
Currently we do support:
- STATMOUNT_SB_BASIC: Basic filesystem info
- STATMOUNT_MNT_BASIC Mount information (mount id, parent mount id, mount attributes etc)
- STATMOUNT_PROPAGATE_FROM Propagation from what mount in current namespace
- STATMOUNT_MNT_ROOT Path of the root of the mount (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /bla)
- STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT Path of the mount point (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /mnt)
- STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE Name of the filesystem type as the magic number isn't enough due to submounts
The string options STATMOUNT_MNT_{ROOT,POINT} and STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE are appended to the end of the struct. Userspace can use the offsets in @fs_type, @mnt_root, and @mnt_point to reference those strings easily.
The struct statmount reserves quite a bit of space currently for future extensibility. This isn't really a problem and if this bothers us we can just send a follow-up pull request during this cycle.
listmount() is given a 64bit mount id via mnt_id_req just as statmount(). It takes a buffer and a size to return an array of the 64bit ids of the child mounts of the requested mount. Userspace can thus choose to either retrieve child mounts for a mount in batches or iterate through the child mounts. For most use-cases it will be sufficient to just leave space for a few child mounts. But for big mount tables having an iterator is really helpful. Iterating through a mount table works by setting @param in mnt_id_req to the mount id of the last child mount retrieved in the previous listmount() call"
