Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/security-testing-2.6
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/security-testing-2.6: (57 commits) binfmt_elf: fix PT_INTERP bss handling TPM: Fixup boot probe timeout for tpm_tis driver sysfs: Add labeling support for sysfs LSM/SELinux: inode_{get,set,notify}secctx hooks to access LSM security context information. VFS: Factor out part of vfs_setxattr so it can be called from the SELinux hook for inode_setsecctx. KEYS: Add missing linux/tracehook.h #inclusions KEYS: Fix default security_session_to_parent() Security/SELinux: includecheck fix kernel/sysctl.c KEYS: security_cred_alloc_blank() should return int under all circumstances IMA: open new file for read KEYS: Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring on its parent [try #6] KEYS: Extend TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME to (almost) all architectures [try #6] KEYS: Do some whitespace cleanups [try #6] KEYS: Make /proc/keys use keyid not numread as file position [try #6] KEYS: Add garbage collection for dead, revoked and expired keys. [try #6] KEYS: Flag dead keys to induce EKEYREVOKED [try #6] KEYS: Allow keyctl_revoke() on keys that have SETATTR but not WRITE perm [try #6] KEYS: Deal with dead-type keys appropriately [try #6] CRED: Add some configurable debugging [try #6] selinux: Support for the new TUN LSM hooks ...

660 Enable this to turn on some debug checking for credential
661 management. The additional code keeps track of the number of
662 pointers from task_structs to any given cred struct, and checks to
663 see that this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred
664 struct.
665
666 Furthermore, if SELinux is enabled, this also checks that the
667 security pointer in the cred struct is never seen to be invalid.
