asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h;
might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include
that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header.

Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:

 - Move the LSM framework to static calls

   This transitions the vast majority of the LSM callbacks into static
   calls. Those callbacks which haven't been converted were left as-is
   due to the general ugliness of the changes required to support the
   static call conversion; we can revisit those callbacks at a future
   date.

 - Add the Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE) LSM

   This adds a new LSM, Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE). There is
   plenty of documentation about IPE in this patches, so I'll refrain
   from going into too much detail here, but the basic motivation behind
   IPE is to provide a mechanism such that administrators can restrict
   execution to only those binaries which come from integrity protected
   storage, e.g. a dm-verity protected filesystem. You will notice that
   IPE requires additional LSM hooks in the initramfs, dm-verity, and
   fs-verity code, with the associated patches carrying ACK/review tags
   from the associated maintainers. We couldn't find an obvious
   maintainer for the initramfs code, but the IPE patchset has been
   widely posted over several years.

   Both Deven Bowers and Fan Wu have contributed to IPE's development
   over the past several years, with Fan Wu agreeing to serve as the IPE
   maintainer moving forward. Once IPE is accepted into your tree, I'll
   start working with Fan to ensure he has the necessary accounts, keys,
   etc. so that he can start submitting IPE pull requests to you
   directly during the next merge window.

 - Move the lifecycle management of the LSM blobs to the LSM framework

   Management of the LSM blobs (the LSM state buffers attached to
   various kernel structs, typically via a void pointer named "security"
   or similar) has been mixed, some blobs were allocated/managed by
   individual LSMs, others were managed by the LSM framework itself.

   Starting with this pull we move management of all the LSM blobs,
   minus the XFRM blob, into the framework itself, improving consistency
   across LSMs, and reducing the amount of duplicated code across LSMs.
   Due to some additional work required to migrate the XFRM blob, it has
   been left as a todo item for a later date; from a practical
   standpoint this omission should have little impact as only SELinux
   provides a XFRM LSM implementation.

 - Fix problems with the LSM's handling of F_SETOWN

   The LSM hook for the fcntl(F_SETOWN) operation had a couple of
   problems: it was racy with itself, and it was disconnected from the
   associated DAC related logic in such a way that the LSM state could
   be updated in cases where the DAC state would not. We fix both of
   these problems by moving the security_file_set_fowner() hook into the
   same section of code where the DAC attributes are updated. Not only
   does this resolve the DAC/LSM synchronization issue, but as that code
   block is protected by a lock, it also resolve the race condition.

 - Fix potential problems with the security_inode_free() LSM hook

   Due to use of RCU to protect inodes and the placement of the LSM hook
   associated with freeing the inode, there is a bit of a challenge when
   it comes to managing any LSM state associated with an inode. The VFS
   folks are not open to relocating the LSM hook so we have to get
   creative when it comes to releasing an inode's LSM state.
   Traditionally we have used a single LSM callback within the hook that
   is triggered when the inode is "marked for death", but not actually
   released due to RCU.

   Unfortunately, this causes problems for LSMs which want to take an
   action when the inode's associated LSM state is actually released; so
   we add an additional LSM callback, inode_free_security_rcu(), that is
   called when the inode's LSM state is released in the RCU free
   callback.

 - Refactor two LSM hooks to better fit the LSM return value patterns

   The vast majority of the LSM hooks follow the "return 0 on success,
   negative values on failure" pattern, however, there are a small
   handful that have unique return value behaviors which has caused
   confusion in the past and makes it difficult for the BPF verifier to
   properly vet BPF LSM programs. This includes patches to
   convert two of these"special" LSM hooks to the common 0/-ERRNO pattern.

 - Various cleanups and improvements

   A handful of patches to remove redundant code, better leverage the
   IS_ERR_OR_NULL() helper, add missing "static" markings, and do some
   minor style fixups.

<title>apparmor: fix policy_unpack_test on big endian systems</title>

<content type='text'>
policy_unpack_test fails on big endian systems because data byte order
is expected to be little endian but is generated in host byte order.
This results in test failures such as:

 # policy_unpack_test_unpack_array_with_null_name: EXPECTATION FAILED at security/apparmor/policy_unpack_test.c:150
    Expected array_size == (u16)16, but
        array_size == 4096 (0x1000)
        (u16)16 == 16 (0x10)
    # policy_unpack_test_unpack_array_with_null_name: pass:0 fail:1 skip:0 total:1
    not ok 3 policy_unpack_test_unpack_array_with_null_name
    # policy_unpack_test_unpack_array_with_name: EXPECTATION FAILED at security/apparmor/policy_unpack_test.c:164
    Expected array_size == (u16)16, but
        array_size == 4096 (0x1000)
        (u16)16 == 16 (0x10)
    # policy_unpack_test_unpack_array_with_name: pass:0 fail:1 skip:0 total:1

Add the missing endianness conversions when generating test data.

Move management of the sock-&gt;sk_security blob out
of the individual security modules and into the security
infrastructure. Instead of allocating the blobs from within
the modules the modules tell the infrastructure how much
space is required, and the space is allocated there.

<title>sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers</title>

const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function
signatures. This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table
structs into .rodata data which will ensure that proc_handler function
pointers cannot be modified.

This patch has been generated by the following coccinelle script:

```

* Code formatting was adjusted in xfs_sysctl.c to comply with code
  conventions. The xfs_stats_clear_proc_handler,
  xfs_panic_mask_proc_handler and xfs_deprecated_dointvec_minmax where
  adjusted.

* The ctl_table argument in proc_watchdog_common was const qualified.
  This is called from a proc_handler itself and is calling back into
  another proc_handler, making it necessary to change it as part of the
  proc_handler migration.

Due to a bug in earlier userspaces, a transition table may be present
even when the dfa is not. Commit 7572fea31e3e
("apparmor: convert fperm lookup to use accept as an index") made the
verification check more rigourous regressing old userspaces with
the bug. For compatibility reasons allow the orphaned transition table
during unpack and discard.

If the label is not stale (which is the common case), the fact that the
passed file object holds a reference can be leverged to avoid the
ref/unref cycle. Doing so reduces performance impact of apparmor on
parallel open() invocations.

When benchmarking on a 24-core vm using will-it-scale's open1_process
("Separate file open"), the results are (ops/s):
before: 6092196
after:  8309726 (+36%)

A "nosymfollow" flag was added in commit
dab741e0e02b ("Add a "nosymfollow" mount option.")

While we don't need to implement any special logic on
the AppArmor kernel side to handle it, we should provide
user with a correct list of mount flags in audit logs.
