Merge tag 'kernel-6.19-rc1.cred' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull cred guard updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains substantial credential infrastructure improvements
adding guard-based credential management that simplifies code and
eliminates manual reference counting in many subsystems.
Features:
- Kernel Credential Guards
Add with_kernel_creds() and scoped_with_kernel_creds() guards that
allow using the kernel credentials without allocating and copying
them. This was requested by Linus after seeing repeated
prepare_kernel_creds() calls that duplicate the kernel credentials
only to drop them again later.
The new guards completely avoid the allocation and never expose the
temporary variable to hold the kernel credentials anywhere in
callers.
- Generic Credential Guards
Add scoped_with_creds() guards for the common override_creds() and
revert_creds() pattern. This builds on earlier work that made
override_creds()/revert_creds() completely reference count free.
- Prepare Credential Guards
Add prepare credential guards for the more complex pattern of
preparing a new set of credentials and overriding the current
credentials with them:
- prepare_creds()
- modify new creds
- override_creds()
- revert_creds()
- put_cred()
Cleanups:
- Make init_cred static since it should not be directly accessed
- Add kernel_cred() helper to properly access the kernel credentials
- Fix scoped_class() macro that was introduced two cycles ago
- coredump: split out do_coredump() from vfs_coredump() for cleaner
credential handling
- coredump: move revert_cred() before coredump_cleanup()
- coredump: mark struct mm_struct as const
- coredump: pass struct linux_binfmt as const
- sev-dev: use guard for path"
