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"
