Pull simple_xattr updates from Christian Brauner:
"This reworks the simple xattr api to make it more efficient and easier
to use for all consumers.
The simple_xattr hash table moves from the inode into a per-superblock
cache, removing the per-inode overhead for the common case of few or
no xattrs. The interface now passes struct simple_xattrs ** so lazy
allocation is handled internally instead of by every caller, kernfs
xattr operations on kernfs nodes shared between multiple superblocks
are properly serialized, and tmpfs constructs "security.foo" xattr
names with kasprintf() instead of kmalloc() plus two memcpy()s.
A follow-up fix links kernfs nodes to their parent before the LSM init
hook runs: with the per-sb cache kernfs_xattr_set() computes the cache
via kernfs_root(kn), which faulted on a freshly allocated node when
selinux_kernfs_init_security() called into it - reproducible as a NULL
pointer dereference on the first cgroup mkdir on SELinux-enabled
systems.
On top of this bpffs gains support for trusted.* and security.* xattrs
so that user space and BPF LSM programs can attach metadata - for
example a content hash or a security label - to pinned objects and
directories and inspect it uniformly like on other filesystems. The
store is in-memory and non-persistent, living only for the lifetime of
the mount like everything else in bpffs"
