Pull kernel lockdown mode from James Morris:
 "This is the latest iteration of the kernel lockdown patchset, from
  Matthew Garrett, David Howells and others.

  From the original description:

    This patchset introduces an optional kernel lockdown feature,
    intended to strengthen the boundary between UID 0 and the kernel.
    When enabled, various pieces of kernel functionality are restricted.
    Applications that rely on low-level access to either hardware or the
    kernel may cease working as a result - therefore this should not be
    enabled without appropriate evaluation beforehand.

    The majority of mainstream distributions have been carrying variants
    of this patchset for many years now, so there's value in providing a
    doesn't meet every distribution requirement, but gets us much closer
    to not requiring external patches.

  There are two major changes since this was last proposed for mainline:

   - Separating lockdown from EFI secure boot. Background discussion is
     covered here: https://lwn.net/Articles/751061/

   -  Implementation as an LSM, with a default stackable lockdown LSM
      module. This allows the lockdown feature to be policy-driven,
      rather than encoding an implicit policy within the mechanism.

  The new locked_down LSM hook is provided to allow LSMs to make a
  policy decision around whether kernel functionality that would allow
  tampering with or examining the runtime state of the kernel should be
  permitted.

  The included lockdown LSM provides an implementation with a simple
  policy intended for general purpose use. This policy provides a coarse
  level of granularity, controllable via the kernel command line:

    lockdown={integrity|confidentiality}

  Enable the kernel lockdown feature. If set to integrity, kernel features
  that allow userland to modify the running kernel are disabled. If set to
  confidentiality, kernel features that allow userland to extract
  confidential information from the kernel are also disabled.

  This may also be controlled via /sys/kernel/security/lockdown and
  overriden by kernel configuration.

  New or existing LSMs may implement finer-grained controls of the
  lockdown features. Refer to the lockdown_reason documentation in
  include/linux/security.h for details.

  The lockdown feature has had signficant design feedback and review
  across many subsystems. This code has been in linux-next for some
  weeks, with a few fixes applied along the way.

  Stephen Rothwell noted that commit 9d1f8be5cf42 ("bpf: Restrict bpf
  when kernel lockdown is in confidentiality mode") is missing a
  Signed-off-by from its author. Matthew responded that he is providing
  this under category (c) of the DCO"

Replace open-coded bitmap array initialization of init_mm.cpu_bitmask with
neat CPU_BITS_NONE macro.

And, since init_mm.cpu_bitmask is statically set to zero, there is no way
to clear it again in start_kernel().

<content type='text'>
Both pgtable_cache_init() and pgd_cache_init() are used to initialize kmem
cache for page table allocations on several architectures that do not use
PAGE_SIZE tables for one or more levels of the page table hierarchy.

Most architectures do not implement these functions and use __weak default
NOP implementation of pgd_cache_init().  Since there is no such default
for pgtable_cache_init(), its empty stub is duplicated among most
architectures.

Rename the definitions of pgd_cache_init() to pgtable_cache_init() and
drop empty stubs of pgtable_cache_init().

<title>mm: kmemleak: use the memory pool for early allocations</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c5665868183fec689dbab9fb8505188b2c4f0757</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently kmemleak uses a static early_log buffer to trace all memory
allocation/freeing before the slab allocator is initialised.  Such early
log is replayed during kmemleak_init() to properly initialise the kmemleak
metadata for objects allocated up that point.  With a memory pool that
does not rely on the slab allocator, it is possible to skip this early log
entirely.

In order to remove the early logging, consider kmemleak_enabled == 1 by
default while the kmem_cache availability is checked directly on the
object_cache and scan_area_cache variables.  The RCU callback is only
invoked after object_cache has been initialised as we wouldn't have any
concurrent list traversal before this.

In order to reduce the number of callbacks before kmemleak is fully
initialised, move the kmemleak_init() call to mm_init().

<id>urn:sha1:e6b1db98cf4d54d9ea59cfcc195f70dc946fdd38</id>
<content type='text'>
The lockdown module is intended to allow for kernels to be locked down
early in boot - sufficiently early that we don't have the ability to
kmalloc() yet. Add support for early initialisation of some LSMs, and
then add them to the list of names when we do full initialisation later.
Early LSMs are initialised in link order and cannot be overridden via
boot parameters, and cannot make use of kmalloc() (since the allocator
isn't initialised yet).

(Fixed by Stephen Rothwell to include a stub to fix builds when
!CONFIG_SECURITY)

<title>sched/preempt: Use CONFIG_PREEMPTION where appropriate</title>

<content type='text'>
CONFIG_PREEMPTION is selected by CONFIG_PREEMPT and by
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Both PREEMPT and PREEMPT_RT require the same
functionality which today depends on CONFIG_PREEMPT.

Switch the preemption code, scheduler and init task over to use
CONFIG_PREEMPTION.

That's the first step towards RT in that area. The more complex changes are
coming separately.

Print the currently enabled stack and heap initialization modes.

Stack initialization is enabled by a config flag, while heap
initialization is configured at boot time with defaults being set in the
config.  It's more convenient for the user to have all information about
these hardening measures in one place at boot, so the user can reason
about the expected behavior of the running system.

The possible options for stack are:
 - "all" for CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL;
 - "byref_all" for CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL;
 - "byref" for CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF;
 - "__user" for CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_USER;
 - "off" otherwise.

Depending on the values of init_on_alloc and init_on_free boottime options
we also report "heap alloc" and "heap free" as "on"/"off".

In the init_on_free mode initializing pages at boot time may take a while,
so print a notice about that as well.  This depends on how much memory is
installed, the memory bandwidth, etc.  On a relatively modern x86 system,
it takes about 0.75s/GB to wipe all memory:

  [    0.418722] mem auto-init: stack:byref_all, heap alloc:off, heap free:on
  [    0.419765] mem auto-init: clearing system memory may take some time...
