2008-01-24kobject: fix up kobject_set_name to use kvasprintfGreg Kroah-Hartman
Kay pointed out that kobject_set_name was being very stupid, doing two allocations for every call, when it should just be using the kernel function kvasprintf() instead. This change adds the internal kobject_set_name_vargs() function, which other follow-on patches will be using. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2008-01-24kobject: convert icom to use kref, not kobjectGreg Kroah-Hartman
The IBM icom serial driver is using a kobject only for reference counting, nothing else. So switch it to use a kref instead, which is all that is needed, and is much smaller.

2008-01-24ecryptfs: clean up attribute messGreg Kroah-Hartman
It isn't that hard to add simple kset attributes, so don't go through all the gyrations of creating your own object type and show and store functions. Just use the functions that are already present. This makes things much simpler. Note, the version_str string violates the "one value per file" rule for sysfs. I suggest changing this now (individual files per type supported is one suggested way.)

2008-01-24PM: Acquire device locks on suspendRafael J. Wysocki
This patch reorganizes the way suspend and resume notifications are sent to drivers. The major changes are that now the PM core acquires every device semaphore before calling the methods, and calls to device_add() during suspends will fail, while calls to device_del() during suspends will block. It also provides a way to safely remove a suspended device with the help of the PM core, by using the device_pm_schedule_removal() callback introduced specifically for this purpose, and updates two drivers (msr and cpuid) that need to use it.

2008-01-25selinux: make mls_compute_sid always polyinstantiateEamon Walsh
This patch removes the requirement that the new and related object types differ in order to polyinstantiate by MLS level. This allows MLS polyinstantiation to occur in the absence of explicit type_member rules or when the type has not changed. Potential users of this support include pam_namespace.so (directory polyinstantiation) and the SELinux X support (property polyinstantiation).

2008-01-25security: remove security_sb_post_mountroot hookH. Peter Anvin
The security_sb_post_mountroot() hook is long-since obsolete, and is fundamentally broken: it is never invoked if someone uses initramfs. This is particularly damaging, because the existence of this hook has been used as motivation for not using initramfs. Stephen Smalley confirmed on 2007-07-19 that this hook was originally used by SELinux but can now be safely removed: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=118485683612916&w=2 Cc: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Cc: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Cc: Eric Paris <eparis@parisplace.org> Cc: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Signed-off-by: H.

2008-01-25Security: add get, set, and cloning of superblock security informationEric Paris
Adds security_get_sb_mnt_opts, security_set_sb_mnt_opts, and security_clont_sb_mnt_opts to the LSM and to SELinux. This will allow filesystems to directly own and control all of their mount options if they so choose. This interface deals only with option identifiers and strings so it should generic enough for any LSM which may come in the future. Filesystems which pass text mount data around in the kernel (almost all of them) need not currently make use of this interface when dealing with SELinux since it will still parse those strings as it always has. I assume future LSM's would do the same. NFS is the primary FS which does not use text mount data and thus must make use of this interface. An LSM would need to implement these functions only if they had mount time options, such as selinux has context= or fscontext=. If the LSM has no mount time options they could simply not implement and let the dummy ops take care of things. An LSM other than SELinux would need to define new option numbers in security.h and any FS which decides to own there own security options would need to be patched to use this new interface for every possible LSM. This is because it was stated to me very clearly that LSM's should not attempt to understand FS mount data and the burdon to understand security should be in the FS which owns the options.
