    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull security subsystem updates from James Morris:
     "Highlights:
    
       - PKCS#7 support added to support signed kexec, also utilized for
         module signing.  See comments in 3f1e1bea.
    
         ** NOTE: this requires linking against the OpenSSL library, which
            must be installed, e.g.  the openssl-devel on Fedora **
    
       - Smack
          - add IPv6 host labeling; ignore labels on kernel threads
          - support smack labeling mounts which use binary mount data
    
       - SELinux:
          - add ioctl whitelisting (see
            http://kernsec.org/files/lss2015/vanderstoep.pdf)
          - fix mprotect PROT_EXEC regression caused by mm change
    
       - Seccomp:
          - add ptrace options for suspend/resume"
