4e5d6f7ec3 TOMOYO: Use GFP_NOFS rather than GFP_KERNEL.
In Ubuntu, security_path_*() hooks are exported to Unionfs. Thus, prepare for
being called from inside VFS functions because I'm not sure whether it is safe
to use GFP_KERNEL or not.

a674fa46c7 ima: remove ACPI dependency
The ACPI dependency moved to the TPM, where it belongs.  Although
IMA per-se does not require access to the bios measurement log,
verifying the IMA boot aggregate does, which requires ACPI.

This patch prereq's 'TPM: ACPI/PNP dependency removal'
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/4/378.

b89e66e1e3 TPM: ACPI/PNP dependency removal
This patch pushes the ACPI dependency into the device driver code
itself. Now, even without ACPI/PNP enabled, the device can be registered
using the TIS specified memory space. This will however result in the
lack of access to the bios event log, being the only implication of such
ACPI removal.

To avoid maintaining per-arch ifdefs, it seems that we could just
directly use (VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS & VM_EXEC) as the basis for deciding
whether to enable or disable these checks.   VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS isn't
constant on some architectures but instead depends on
current->personality, but we want this applied uniformly.  So we'll just
use the initial task state to determine whether or not to enable these
checks.

cb84aa9b42 LSM Audit: rename LSM_AUDIT_NO_AUDIT to LSM_AUDIT_DATA_NONE
Most of the LSM common audit work uses LSM_AUDIT_DATA_* for the naming.
This was not so for LSM_AUDIT_NO_AUDIT which means the generic initializer
cannot be used.  This patch just renames the flag so the generic

822cceec72 mmap_min_addr check CAP_SYS_RAWIO only for write
Redirecting directly to lsm, here's the patch discussed on lkml:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/4/22/219

The mmap_min_addr value is useful information for an admin to see without
being root ("is my system vulnerable to kernel NULL pointer attacks?") and
its setting is trivially easy for an attacker to determine by calling
mmap() in PAGE_SIZE increments starting at 0, so trying to keep it private
has no value.

Only require CAP_SYS_RAWIO if changing the value, not reading it.

Comment from Serge :

  Me, I like to write my passwords with light blue pen on dark blue
  paper, pasted on my window - if you're going to get my password, you're
  gonna get a headache.

eb8dae9607 IMA: include the word IMA in printk messages
As an example IMA emits a warning when it can't find a TPM chip:

"No TPM chip found, activating TPM-bypass!"

This patch prefaces that message with IMA so we know what subsystem is
bypassing the TPM.  Do this for all pr_info and pr_err messages.

a key=value pair and it doesn't provide additional information.  This can
be obviously gleaned from the message type.  Just drop it.

6ccd045630 ima: handle multiple rules per write
Currently IMA will only accept one rule per write().  This patch allows IMA to
accept writes which contain multiple rules but only processes one rule per
write.  \n is used as the delimiter between rules.  IMA will return a short
write indicating that it only accepted up to the first \n.

This allows simple userspace utilities like cat to be used to load an IMA
policy instead of needing a special userspace utility that understood 'one
write per rule'

de329820e9 ext3: fix broken handling of EXT3_STATE_NEW
In commit 9df93939b7 ("ext3: Use bitops to read/modify
EXT3_I(inode)->i_state") ext3 changed its internal 'i_state' variable to
use bitops for its state handling.  However, unline the same ext4
change, it didn't actually change the name of the field when it changed
the semantics of it.

As a result, an old use of 'i_state' remained in fs/ext3/ialloc.c that
initialized the field to EXT3_STATE_NEW.  And that does not work
_at_all_ when we're now working with individually named bits rather than
values that get masked.  So the code tried to mark the state to be new,
but in actual fact set the field to EXT3_STATE_JDATA.  Which makes no
sense at all, and screws up all the code that checks whether the inode
was newly allocated.

In particular, it made the xattr code unhappy, and caused various random
behavior, like apparently

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577911

So fix the initialization, and rename the field to match ext4 so that we
don't have this happen again.
