Linus,

Here is the SELinux pull request for the Linux v6.15 merge window, the
highlights are below:

- Add additional SELinux access controls for kernel file reads/loads

The SELinux kernel file read/load access controls were never updated
beyond the initial kernel module support, this pull request adds
support for firmware, kexec, policies, and x.509 certificates.

- Add support for wildcards in network interface names

There are a number of userspace tools which auto-generate network
interface names using some pattern of <XXXX>-<NN> where <XXXX> is
a fixed string, e.g. "podman", and <NN> is a increasing counter.
Supporting wildcards in the SELinux policy for network interfaces
simplifies the policy associted with these interfaces.

- Fix a potential problem in the kernel read file SELinux code

SELinux should always check the file label in the
security_kernel_read_file() LSM hook, regardless of if the file is
being read in chunks. Unfortunately, the existing code only
considered the file label on the first chunk; this pull request
fixes this problem.

There is more detail in the individual commit, but thankfully the
existing code didn't expose a bug due to multi-stage reads only
taking place in one driver, and that driver loading a file type
that isn't targeted by the SELinux policy.

- Fix the subshell error handling in the example policy loader

Minor fix to SELinux example policy loader in scripts/selinux due
to an undesired interaction with subshells and errexit.

Please merge,
-Paul
