Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore: - Improve the granularity of SELinux labeling for memfd files Currently when creating a memfd file, SELinux treats it the same as any other tmpfs, or hugetlbfs, file. While simple, the drawback is that it is not possible to differentiate between memfd and tmpfs files. This adds a call to the security_inode_init_security_anon() LSM hook and wires up SELinux to provide a set of memfd specific access controls, including the ability to control the execution of memfds. As usual, the commit message has more information. - Improve the SELinux AVC lookup performance Adopt MurmurHash3 for the SELinux AVC hash function instead of the custom hash function currently used. MurmurHash3 is already used for the SELinux access vector table so the impact to the code is minimal, and performance tests have shown improvements in both hash distribution and latency. See the commit message for the performance measurments. - Introduce a Kconfig option for the SELinux AVC bucket/slot size While we have the ability to grow the number of AVC hash buckets today, the size of the buckets (slot size) is fixed at 512. This pull request makes that slot size configurable at build time through a new Kconfig knob, CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_AVC_HASH_BITS. * tag 'selinux-pr-20251201' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/selinux: selinux: improve bucket distribution uniformity of avc_hash() selinux: Move avtab_hash() to a shared location for future reuse selinux: Introduce a new config to make avc cache slot size adjustable memfd,selinux: call security_inode_init_security_anon()
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
