From d576a9561a1c80ae593539fb0ce0743d66825ac2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Shyti Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2026 14:19:12 +0200 Subject: Merge tag 'rust-i2c-for-7.3' into i2c/i2c i2c: rust: mark I2cAdapter methods as inline A single cleanup for the Rust I2C abstractions, targeting 7.3. `I2cAdapter::get`, `inc_ref`, and `dec_ref` are trivial wrappers around `i2c_get_adapter`/`i2c_put_adapter` and were showing up as their own symbols in the build. Mark them `#[inline]` so they get folded into their callers instead.

This allows systems that have a verified +and/or unchangeable filesystem to enforce module and firmware loading +restrictions without needing to sign the files individually. + +The LSM is selectable at build-time with ``CONFIG_SECURITY_LOADPIN``, and +can be controlled at boot-time with the kernel command line option +"``loadpin.enforce``". By default, it is enabled, but can be disabled at +boot ("``loadpin.enforce=0``"). + +LoadPin starts pinning when it sees the first file loaded. If the +block device backing the filesystem is not read-only, a sysctl is +created to toggle pinning: ``/proc/sys/kernel/loadpin/enabled``. (Having +a mutable filesystem means pinning is mutable too, but having the +sysctl allows for easy testing on systems with a mutable filesystem.) + +It's also possible to exclude specific file types from LoadPin using kernel +command line option "``loadpin.exclude``". By default, all files are +included, but they can be excluded using kernel command line option such +as "``loadpin.exclude=kernel-module,kexec-image``". This allows to use +different mechanisms such as ``CONFIG_MODULE_SIG`` and +``CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG`` to verify kernel module and kernel image while +still use LoadPin to protect the integrity of other files kernel loads. The +full list of valid file types can be found in ``kernel_read_file_str`` +defined in ``include/linux/kernel_read_file.h``. -- cgit v1.3.1
