Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
- Extended permissions supported in conditional policy
The SELinux extended permissions, aka "xperms", allow security admins
to target individuals ioctls, and recently netlink messages, with
their SELinux policy. Adding support for conditional policies allows
admins to toggle the granular xperms using SELinux booleans, helping
pave the way for greater use of xperms in general purpose SELinux
policies. This change bumps the maximum SELinux policy version to 34.
- Fix a SCTP/SELinux error return code inconsistency
Depending on the loaded SELinux policy, specifically it's
EXTSOCKCLASS support, the bind(2) LSM/SELinux hook could return
different error codes due to the SELinux code checking the socket's
SELinux object class (which can vary depending on EXTSOCKCLASS) and

Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:
- Improved handling of LSM "secctx" strings through lsm_context struct
The LSM secctx string interface is from an older time when only one
LSM was supported, migrate over to the lsm_context struct to better
support the different LSMs we now have and make it easier to support
new LSMs in the future.
These changes explain the Rust, VFS, and networking changes in the
diffstat.
- Only build lsm_audit.c if CONFIG_SECURITY and CONFIG_AUDIT are
enabled
Small tweak to be a bit smarter about when we build the LSM's common
audit helpers.

This is a major milestone on the path to build the kernel using
only stable Rust features. In particular, previously we were using
the unstable features 'coerce_unsized', 'dispatch_from_dyn' and
'unsize', and now we will use the new 'derive_coerce_pointee' one,
which is on track to stabilization. This new feature is a macro
that essentially expands into code that internally uses the
unstable features that we were using before, without having to
expose those.

Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
"Kthreads affinity follow either of 4 existing different patterns:
1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never
execute relevant code on any other CPU. This is currently handled
by smpboot code which takes care of CPU-hotplug operations.
Affinity here is a correctness constraint.
2) Some kthreads _have_ to be affine to a specific set of CPUs and
can't run anywhere else. The affinity is set through
kthread_bind_mask() and the subsystem takes care by itself to
handle CPU-hotplug operations. Affinity here is assumed to be a
correctness constraint.
3) Per-node kthreads _prefer_ to be affine to a specific NUMA node.
This is not a correctness constraint but merely a preference in
terms of memory locality. kswapd and kcompactd both fall into this

Merge tag 'trace-sorttable-v6.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull scipts/sorttable updates from Steven Rostedt:
"The sorttable.c was a copy from recordmcount.c which is very hard to
maintain. That's because it uses macro helpers and places the code in
a header file sorttable.h to handle both the 64 bit and 32 bit version
of the Elf structures. It also uses _r()/r()/r2() wrappers around
accessing the data which will read the 64 bit or 32 bit version of the
data as well as handle endianess. If the wrong wrapper is used, an
invalid value will result, and this has been a cause for bugs in the
past. In fact the new ORC code doesn't even use it. That's fine
because ORC is only for 64 bit x86 which is the default parsing.
Instead of having a bunch of macros defined and then include the code
twice from a header, the Elf structures are each wrapped in a union.
The union holds the 64 bit and 32 bit version of the needed structure.
Then a structure of function pointers is used, along with helper
macros to access the ELF types appropriately for their byte size and
endianess. How to reference the data fields is moved from the code

Merge tag 'ftrace-v6.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Have fprobes built on top of function graph infrastructure
The fprobe logic is an optimized kprobe that uses ftrace to attach to
functions when a probe is needed at the start or end of the function.
The fprobe and kretprobe logic implements a similar method as the
function graph tracer to trace the end of the function. That is to
hijack the return address and jump to a trampoline to do the trace
when the function exits. To do this, a shadow stack needs to be
created to store the original return address. Fprobes and function
graph do this slightly differently. Fprobes (and kretprobes) has
slots per callsite that are reserved to save the return address. This
is fine when just a few points are traced. But users of fprobes, such
as BPF programs, are starting to add many more locations, and this
method does not scale.

Pull trace ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Clean up the __rb_map_vma() logic
The logic of __rb_map_vma() has a error check with WARN_ON() that
makes sure that the index does not go past the end of the array of
buffers. The test in the loop pretty much guarantees that it will
never happen, but since the relation of the variables used is a
little complex, the WARN_ON() check was added. It was noticed that
the array was dereferenced before this check and if the logic does
break and for some reason the logic goes past the array, there will
be an out of bounds access here. Move the access to after the
WARN_ON().
- Consolidate how the ring buffer is determined to be empty
Currently there's two ways that are used to determine if the ring
