David Howells f0df90cd7c Merge branch 'keyctl-restrict' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/martineau/linux into keys-next
To quote Mat Martineau:

"""
Keyrings recently acquired the ability to validate keys before they are
linked using kernel internal APIs. This patch set enables configuration
of restricted keyrings from userspace.

These patches apply to linux-fs/keys-misc and are also available here:

    https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/martineau/linux.git/log/?h=keyctl-restrict

v13: Detect and avoid cycles in restriction references, and change
restrictions to store a single key pointer rather than arbitrary data.

v12: Rework the KEYCTL_RESTRICT_KEYRING command to take an additional
parameter, renamed some functions based on feedback, and dropped an
unnecessary locking change (patch 1 in previous set).

v11: Configure restrictions using KEYCTL_RESTRICT_KEYRING instead of
using a keyring payload at creation time. Make the garbage collector
aware of restrictions.

v10: Fixups from maintainer feedback. Added some missing documentation.

v9: Rebased on linux-fs/keys-misc (v4.9-rc5)

v8: Add option to look for signing keys within the destination keyring.
Fix a consistency issue with keyring locking and restriction checks.

v7: Rework key restriction payload syntax. Move key-type-specific payload
parsing to the key-type. Attach more restriction information to keyrings
(restriction function, data, and data free) so future restrictions are not
limited to storing a key ID to use for key validation. Validate key before
using it to verify another key. Modify key type locking model to allow key
type lookup during keyring creation.

v6: Return error if only restrict_key is supplied, address misc. review
comments.

v5: Fixed signature bypass problem in patch 3/6

v4: Added userspace restriction options based on builtin keyrings.
restrict_link_by_signature implementation is no longer modified. Split
up v3's patch 2/5 to isolate the change to key.h.

v3: Updated commit message for patch 2/5 (restrict_link_by_signature_indirect)

v2: Payload is now preparsed

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
