Linus Torvalds a804c5742b Merge tag 'lsm-pr-20261016' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/lsm
Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:

 - Add LSM hooks, object blobs, and audit records for namespaces

   Add the necessary bits to enable LSMs to enforce access controls on
   the management of various kernel namespaces. While this pull request
   does not contain any in-tree users of these hooks, the Landlock pull
   request for Linux v7.4 will include Landlock support and the next
   merge window will likely include SELinux support as well. Considering
   the development behind these hooks, I expect that BPF LSM developers
   will also be making use of the namespace hooks, if they haven't
   already.

 - Update the inode LSM hooks to include mount idmaps

   This allows LSMs to incorporate the mount ID mapping into their
   access control decisions. While there are no current in-tree users of
   this, it was requested by those developing BPF LSM programs and this
   pull request includes a BPF LSM selftest.

 - Preserve the full 32-bit ioctl command in LSM audit records

   Previously only the low 16 bits were logged, ignoring the direction
   and size information in the upper 16 bits. The pull request also
   includes a Landlock based selftest to verify the full 32-bit ioctl
   value.

 - Ensure we don't call security_backing_file_free() multiple times

   Thankfully we don't have a problem with the current code base, but we
   want to fix this behavior now before it becomes a problem.

 - Clarify that only the current task may access current->cred

   The current code is a bit misleading around safely accessing the cred
   field in a task struct. Through comment and code corrections, this
   pull request clarifies that only the task itself may access its cred
   field.

 - Add SLAB_NO_MERGE to the credential object cache

   Harden the credential cache by ensuring credential objects live on
   dedicated slab pages.

 - Make use of safe memory zero'ing in the LSM Rust bindings

 - Update the docs for the current behavior of /sys/kernel/security/lsm

 - Update the docs for CONFIG_LSM and the "lsm=" command line option

 - Remove unnecessary code
