commit 3a28cff3bd4bf43f02be0c4e7933aebf3dc8197e upstream.

commit 0dc1ba24f7fff6 ("SELINUX: Make selinux cache VFS RCU walks safe")
results in no audit messages at all if in permissive mode because the
cache is updated during the rcu walk and thus no denial occurs on
the subsequent ref walk.  Fix this by not updating the cache when
performing a non-blocking permission check.  This only affects search
and symlink read checks during rcu walk.

commit 7b20ea2579238f5e0da4bc93276c1b63c960c9ef upstream.

This allows MAY_NOT_BLOCK to be passed, in RCU-walk mode, through
the new avc_has_perm_flags() to avc_audit() and thence the slow_avc_audit.

We cannot presently tell from an avc: denied message whether access was in
fact denied or was allowed due to global or per-domain permissive mode.
Add a permissive= field to the avc message to reflect this information.

The net/core/netpoll.c conflict is a bug fix in 'net' happening

In micrel-ks8851.txt we simply have overlapping changes.

<title>selinux: add gfp argument to security_xfrm_policy_alloc and fix callers</title>

security_xfrm_policy_alloc can be called in atomic context so the
allocation should be done with GFP_ATOMIC. Add an argument to let the
callers choose the appropriate way. In order to do so a gfp argument
needs to be added to the method xfrm_policy_alloc_security in struct
security_operations and to the internal function
selinux_xfrm_alloc_user. After that switch to GFP_ATOMIC in the atomic
callers and leave GFP_KERNEL as before for the rest.
The path that needed the gfp argument addition is:
security_xfrm_policy_alloc -&gt; security_ops.xfrm_policy_alloc_security -&gt;
all users of xfrm_policy_alloc_security (e.g. selinux_xfrm_policy_alloc) -&gt;
selinux_xfrm_alloc_user (here the allocation used to be GFP_KERNEL only)

Now adding a gfp argument to selinux_xfrm_alloc_user requires us to also
add it to security_context_to_sid which is used inside and prior to this
patch did only GFP_KERNEL allocation. So add gfp argument to
security_context_to_sid and adjust all of its callers as well.

Inserting a entry into flowcache, or flushing flowcache should be based
on per net scope. The reason to do so is flushing operation from fat
netns crammed with flow entries will also making the slim netns with only
a few flow cache entries go away in original implementation.

Since flowcache is tightly coupled with IPsec, so it would be easier to
put flow cache global parameters into xfrm namespace part. And one last
thing needs to do is bumping flow cache genid, and flush flow cache should
also be made in per net style.
