Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
 "We've got twelve patches queued for v5.19, with most being fairly
  minor. The highlights are below:

   - The checkreqprot and runtime disable knobs have been deprecated for
     some time with no active users that we can find. In an effort to
     move things along we are adding a pause when the knobs are used to
     help make the deprecation more noticeable in case anyone is still
     using these hacks in the shadows.

   - We've added the anonymous inode class name to the AVC audit records
     when anonymous inodes are involved. This should make writing policy
     easier when anonymous inodes are involved.

   - More constification work. This is fairly straightforward and the
     source of most of the diffstat.

   - The usual minor cleanups: remove unnecessary assignments, assorted
     style/checkpatch fixes, kdoc fixes, macro while-loop
     encapsulations, #include tweaks, etc"

<title>lockdown: also lock down previous kgdb use</title>

<content type='text'>
KGDB and KDB allow read and write access to kernel memory, and thus
should be restricted during lockdown.  An attacker with access to a
serial port (for example, via a hypervisor console, which some cloud
vendors provide over the network) could trigger the debugger so it is
important that the debugger respect the lockdown mode when/if it is
triggered.

Fix this by integrating lockdown into kdb's existing permissions
mechanism.  Unfortunately kgdb does not have any permissions mechanism
(although it certainly could be added later) so, for now, kgdb is simply
and brutally disabled by immediately exiting the gdb stub without taking
any action.

For lockdowns established early in the boot (e.g. the normal case) then
this should be fine but on systems where kgdb has set breakpoints before
the lockdown is enacted than "bad things" will happen.

<title>LSM: Remove double path_rename hook calls for RENAME_EXCHANGE</title>

<content type='text'>
In order to be able to identify a file exchange with renameat2(2) and
RENAME_EXCHANGE, which will be useful for Landlock [1], propagate the
rename flags to LSMs.  This may also improve performance because of the
switch from two set of LSM hook calls to only one, and because LSMs
using this hook may optimize the double check (e.g. only one lock,
reduce the number of path walks).

AppArmor, Landlock and Tomoyo are updated to leverage this change.  This
should not change the current behavior (same check order), except
(different level of) speed boosts.

<title>security: don't treat structure as an array of struct hlist_head</title>

<id>urn:sha1:75c1182e18f4a66bbd2c91511b6b629dac6a27dc</id>
<content type='text'>
The initialization of "security_hook_heads" is done by casting it to
another structure pointer type, and treating it as an array of "struct
hlist_head" objects. This requires an exception be made in "randstruct",
because otherwise it will emit an error, reducing the effectiveness of
the hardening technique.

Instead of using a cast, initialize the individual struct hlist_head
elements in security_hook_heads explicitly. This removes the need for
the cast and randstruct exception.

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
 "We've got a number of SELinux patches queued up, the highlights are:

   - Fixup the security_fs_context_parse_param() LSM hook so it executes
     all of the LSM hook implementations unless a serious error occurs.

     We also correct the SELinux hook implementation so that it returns
     zero on success.

   - In addition to a few SELinux mount option parsing fixes, we
     simplified the parsing by moving it earlier in the process.

     The logic was that it was unlikely an admin/user would use the new
     mount API and not have the policy loaded before passing the SELinux
     options.

   - Properly fixed the LSM/SELinux/SCTP hooks with the addition of the
     security_sctp_assoc_established() hook.

     This work was done in conjunction with the netdev folks and should
     complete the move of the SCTP labeling from the endpoints to the
     associations.

   - Fixed a variety of sparse warnings caused by changes in the "__rcu"
     markings of some core kernel structures.

   - Ensure we access the superblock's LSM security blob using the
     stacking-safe accessors.

   - Added the ability for the kernel to always allow FIOCLEX and
     FIONCLEX if the "ioctl_skip_cloexec" policy capability is
     specified.

   - Various constifications improvements, type casting improvements,
     additional return value checks, and dead code/parameter removal.

   - Documentation fixes"
