Merge tag 'selinux-pr-20251121' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/selinux
Pull selinux fixes from Paul Moore:
"Three SELinux patches for v6.18 to fix issues around accessing the
per-task decision cache that we introduced in v6.16 to help reduce
SELinux overhead on path walks. The problem was that despite the cache
being located in the SELinux "task_security_struct", the parent struct
wasn't actually tied to the task, it was tied to a cred.
Historically SELinux did locate the task_security_struct in the
task_struct's security blob, but it was later relocated to the cred
struct when the cred work happened, as it made the most sense at the
time.
Unfortunately we never did the task_security_struct to
cred_security_struct rename work (avoid code churn maybe? who knows)
because it didn't really matter at the time. However, it suddenly
became a problem when we added a per-task cache to a per-cred object
and didn't notice because of the old, no-longer-correct struct naming.
Thanks to KCSAN for flagging this, as the silly humans running things
forgot that the task_security_struct was a big lie.
This contains three patches, only one of which actually fixes the
problem described above and moves the SELinux decision cache from the
per-cred struct to a newly (re)created per-task struct.
The other two patches, which form the bulk of the diffstat, take care
of the associated renaming tasks so we can hopefully avoid making the
same stupid mistake in the future.
For the record, I did contemplate sending just a fix for the cache,
leaving the renaming patches for the upcoming merge window, but the
type/variable naming ended up being pretty awful and would have made
v6.18 an outlier stuck between the "old" names and the "new" names in
v6.19. The renaming patches are also fairly mechanical/trivial and
shouldn't pose much risk despite their size.
TLDR; naming things may be hard, but if you mess it up bad things
happen"
