Pull ucounts fixes from Eric Biederman:
 "There has been one very hard to track down bug in the ucount code that
  we have been tracking since roughly v5.14 was released. Alex managed
  to find a reliable reproducer a few days ago and then I was able to
  instrument the code and figure out what the issue was.

  It turns out the sigqueue_alloc single atomic operation optimization
  did not play nicely with ucounts multiple level rlimits. It turned out
  that either sigqueue_alloc or sigqueue_free could be operating on
  multiple levels and trigger the conditions for the optimization on
  more than one level at the same time.

  To deal with that situation I have introduced inc_rlimit_get_ucounts
  and dec_rlimit_put_ucounts that just focuses on the optimization and
  the rlimit and ucount changes.

  While looking into the big bug I found I couple of other little issues
  so I am including those fixes here as well.

  When I have time I would very much like to dig into process ownership
  of the shared signal queue and see if we could pick a single owner for
  the entire queue so that all of the rlimits can count to that owner.
  That should entirely remove the need to call get_ucounts and
  put_ucounts in sigqueue_alloc and sigqueue_free. It is difficult
  because Linux unlike POSIX supports setuid that works on a single
  thread"

<title>ucounts: Move get_ucounts from cred_alloc_blank to key_change_session_keyring</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5ebcbe342b1c12fae44b4f83cbeae1520e09857e</id>
<content type='text'>
Setting cred-&gt;ucounts in cred_alloc_blank does not make sense.  The
uid and user_ns are deliberately not set in cred_alloc_blank but
instead the setting is delayed until key_change_session_keyring.

So move dealing with ucounts into key_change_session_keyring as well.

Unfortunately that movement of get_ucounts adds a new failure mode to
key_change_session_keyring.  I do not see anything stopping the parent
process from calling setuid and changing the relevant part of it's
cred while keyctl_session_to_parent is running making it fundamentally
necessary to call get_ucounts in key_change_session_keyring.  Which
means that the new failure mode cannot be avoided.

A failure of key_change_session_keyring results in a single threaded
parent keeping it's existing credentials.  Which results in the parent
process not being able to access the session keyring and whichever
keys are in the new keyring.

Further get_ucounts is only expected to fail if the number of bits in
the refernece count for the structure is too few.

Since the code has no other way to report the failure of get_ucounts
and because such failures are not expected to be common add a WARN_ONCE
to report this problem to userspace.

Between the WARN_ONCE and the parent process not having access to
the keys in the new session keyring I expect any failure of get_ucounts
will be noticed and reported and we can find another way to handle this
condition.  (Possibly by just making ucounts-&gt;count an atomic_long_t).

Jann Horn reported a problem with commit eb1231f73c4d ("selinux:
clarify task subjective and objective credentials") where some LSM
hooks were attempting to access the subjective credentials of a task
other than the current task.  Generally speaking, it is not safe to
access another task's subjective credentials and doing so can cause
a number of problems.

Further, while looking into the problem, I realized that Smack was
suffering from a similar problem brought about by a similar commit
1fb057dcde11 ("smack: differentiate between subjective and objective
task credentials").

This patch addresses this problem by restoring the use of the task's
objective credentials in those cases where the task is other than the
current executing task.  Not only does this resolve the problem
reported by Jann, it is arguably the correct thing to do in these
cases.

Commit 2d151d39073a ("xfrm: Add possibility to set the default to block
if we have no policy") broke ABI by changing the value of the XFRM_MSG_MAPPING
enum item, thus also evading the build-time check
in security/selinux/nlmsgtab.c:selinux_nlmsg_lookup for presence of proper
security permission checks in nlmsg_xfrm_perms.  Fix it by placing
XFRM_MSG_SETDEFAULT/XFRM_MSG_GETDEFAULT to the end of the enum, right before
__XFRM_MSG_MAX, and updating the nlmsg_xfrm_perms accordingly.

find_vma() and variants need protection when used.  This patch adds
mmap_assert_lock() calls in the functions.

To make sure the invariant is satisfied, we also need to add a
mmap_read_lock() around the get_user_pages_remote() call in
get_arg_page().  The lock is not strictly necessary because the mm has
been newly created, but the extra cost is limited because the same mutex
was also acquired shortly before in __bprm_mm_init(), so it is hot and
uncontended.
