Pull LSM updates from Paul Moore:
"We only have five patches in the LSM tree, but three of the five are
for an important bugfix relating to overlayfs and the mmap() and
mprotect() access controls for LSMs. Highlights below:

- Fix problems with the mmap() and mprotect() LSM hooks on overlayfs

As we are dealing with problems both in mmap() and mprotect() there
are essentially two components to this fix, spread across three
patches with all marked for stable.

The simplest portion of the fix is the creation of a new LSM hook,
security_mmap_backing_file(), that is used to enforce LSM mmap()
access controls on backing files in the stacked/overlayfs case. The
existing security_mmap_file() does not have visibility past the
user file. You can see from the associated SELinux hook callback
the code is fairly straightforward.

The mprotect() fix is a bit more complicated as there is no way in
the mprotect() code path to inspect both the user and backing
files, and bolting on a second file reference to vm_area_struct
wasn't really an option.

The solution taken here adds a LSM security blob and associated
hooks to the backing_file struct that LSMs can use to capture and
store relevant information from the user file. While the necessary
SELinux information is relatively small, a single u32, I expect
other LSMs to require more than that, and a dedicated backing_file
LSM blob provides a storage mechanism without negatively impacting
other filesystems.

I want to note that other LSMs beyond SELinux have been involved in
the discussion of the fixes presented here and they are working on
their own related changes using these new hooks, but due to other
issues those patches will be coming at a later date.

- Use kstrdup_const()/kfree_const() for securityfs symlink targets

- Resolve a handful of kernel-doc warnings in cred.h"

lsm: add backing_file LSM hooks

Stacked filesystems such as overlayfs do not currently provide the
necessary mechanisms for LSMs to properly enforce access controls on the
mmap() and mprotect() operations. In order to resolve this gap, a LSM
security blob is being added to the backing_file struct and the following
new LSM hooks are being created:

security_backing_file_alloc()
security_backing_file_free()
security_mmap_backing_file()

The first two hooks are to manage the lifecycle of the LSM security blob
in the backing_file struct, while the third provides a new mmap() access
control point for the underlying backing file. It is also expected that
LSMs will likely want to update their security_file_mprotect() callback
to address issues with their mprotect() controls, but that does not
require a change to the security_file_mprotect() LSM hook.

There are a three other small changes to support these new LSM hooks:
* Pass the user file associated with a backing file down to
alloc_empty_backing_file() so it can be included in the
security_backing_file_alloc() hook.
* Add getter and setter functions for the backing_file struct LSM blob
as the backing_file struct remains private to fs/file_table.c.
* Constify the file struct field in the LSM common_audit_data struct to
better support LSMs that need to pass a const file struct pointer into
the common LSM audit code.

Thanks to Arnd Bergmann for identifying the missing EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
and supplying a fixup.

lsm: preserve /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr when !CONFIG_SECURITY

While reworking the LSM initialization code the
/proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr handler was inadvertently caught up in the
change and the procfs entry wasn't setup when CONFIG_SECURITY was not
selected at kernel build time. This patch restores the previous behavior
and ensures that the procfs entry is setup regardless of the
CONFIG_SECURITY state.

Future work will improve upon this, likely by moving the procfs handler
into the mm subsystem, but this patch should resolve the immediate
regression.

Pull LSM updates from Paul Moore:

- Rework the LSM initialization code

What started as a "quick" patch to enable a notification event once
all of the individual LSMs were initialized, snowballed a bit into a
30+ patch patchset when everything was done. Most of the patches, and
diffstat, is due to splitting out the initialization code into
security/lsm_init.c and cleaning up some of the mess that was there.
While not strictly necessary, it does cleanup the code signficantly,
and hopefully makes the upkeep a bit easier in the future.

Aside from the new LSM_STARTED_ALL notification, these changes also
ensure that individual LSM initcalls are only called when the LSM is
enabled at boot time. There should be a minor reduction in boot times
for those who build multiple LSMs into their kernels, but only enable
a subset at boot.

It is worth mentioning that nothing at present makes use of the
LSM_STARTED_ALL notification, but there is work in progress which is
dependent upon LSM_STARTED_ALL.

We need to directly allocate the cred's LSM state for the initial task

RCU related type mismatch, use the unrcu_pointer() macro to handle this
a bit more elegantly.

The explicit type casting still remains as we need to work around the
