Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
"While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to
containers in general and user namespaces in particular. The user
space interface is now complete.
This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user
namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces.
The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from
using cool new kernel features is broken.
This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for
the pid, user, mount namespaces.
This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace
cleanups/simplifications. Of particular significance is the rework of
the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out
tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation. At
least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup.
The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files
to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS,
ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is
currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission
checks are always applied.
The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers
so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same
namespaces.
Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the
permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user
namespace root to usefully use the networking stack. Similar changes
for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my
tree.
Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn
in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the
/proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree.
Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs,
ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the
Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from
being built when any of those filesystems are enabled.
Future design work remains to allow root users outside of the initial
user namespace to mount more than just /proc and /sys."

The android logger is already declared as a tristate in the
Kconfig but the module_exit function was missing.
device_initcall works also with modprobe since include/linux/init.h:
#define module_init(x) __initcall(x);

The expressions tsk->nsproxy->pid_ns and task_active_pid_ns
aka ns_of_pid(task_pid(tsk)) should have the same number of
cache line misses with the practical difference that
ns_of_pid(task_pid(tsk)) is released later in a processes life.
Furthermore by using task_active_pid_ns it becomes trivial
to write an unshare implementation for the the pid namespace.
So I have used task_active_pid_ns everywhere I can.
In fork since the pid has not yet been attached to the
process I use ns_of_pid, to achieve the same effect.

Move actual pte filling for non-linear file mappings into the new special
vma operation: ->remap_pages().
Filesystems must implement this method to get non-linear mapping support,
if it uses filemap_fault() then generic_file_remap_pages() can be used.
Now device drivers can implement this method and obtain nonlinear vma support.

Pull vfs update from Al Viro:
- big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
that is moved to fs/file.c
(BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c. As it is,
we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
struct file we used to have way back).
A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of
relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
leak.
- related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in
there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have).
- also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into
that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and
switch of fdinfo to seq_file.
- Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to
take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate
pile, this was just a mechanical code movement.
- a few misc patches all over the place. Not all for this cycle,
there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."
Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly
simple conflicts due to two different changes to the sock_alloc_file()
interface ("take descriptor handling from sock_alloc_file() to callers"
vs "net: Providing protocol type via system.sockprotoname xattr of
/proc/PID/fd entries" adding a dentry name to the socket)

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
"This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace
support. This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces
enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user
namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the
filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs,
nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review.
The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into
subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and
from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values
come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network.
Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user
namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues.
The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit
union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int.
Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to
handle those places with simple trivial patches.
Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing
quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before.
Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts
for most of the code size growth in my git tree.
Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from
"capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing
root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to
non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications.
While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code
I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process
netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed
usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty.
Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no
problems from identical code from different trees showing up in
linux-next.
After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to
win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."

Similar situation to that of __alloc_fd(); do not use unless you
really have to. You should not touch any descriptor table other
than your own; it's a sure sign of a really bad API design.
As with __alloc_fd(), you *must* use a first-class reference to
struct files_struct; something obtained by get_files_struct(some task)
(let alone direct task->files) will not do. It must be either
current->files, or obtained by get_files_struct(current) by the
owner of that sucker and given to you.

Essentially, alloc_fd() in a files_struct we own a reference to.
Most of the time wanting to use it is a sign of lousy API
design (such as android/binder). It's *not* a general-purpose
interface; better that than open-coding its guts, but again,
playing with other process' descriptor table is a sign of bad
design.

pstore/ram: Add ECC support
pstore/ram: Switch to persistent_ram routines
...
This is a first step for adding ECC support for pstore RAM backend: we
will use the persistent_ram routines, kindly provided by Google.
Basically, persistent_ram is a set of helper routines to deal with the
[optionally] ECC-protected persistent ram regions.
A bit of Makefile, Kconfig and header files adjustments were needed
because of the move.

This is a transition patch to keep things bisectable, just moves
some routines under '#ifndef MODULE'. The code inside the #ifndef
will go away soon, but so far we must support pstore and ram_console.
So, we are about to use persistent_ram with pstore, with the ability
to compile persistent_ram routines as modules. Some parts of
persistent_ram uses memblock_reserve() routine, which is should be
only used built-in code, and thus it is not exported.
These persistent_ram bits are only used by Android's ram_console,
which is always built-in.
Without this patch, we won't able to compile persistent_ram as a
module:
ERROR: "memblock_reserve" [fs/pstore/ramoops.ko] undefined!
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
make: *** [modules] Error 2
(As alternative, we could export memblock_reserve, but the thing
is: we won't need it later.)

This includes devices' memory (e.g. framebuffers or memory mapped
EEPROMs on a local bus), as well as the normal RAM that we don't use
for the main memory.
For the normal (but unused) ram we could use kmaps, but this assumes
highmem support, so we don't bother and just use the memory via
ioremap.
As a side effect, the following hack is possible: when used together
with pstore_ram (new ramoops) module, we can limit the normal RAM region
with mem= and then point ramoops to use the rest of the memory, e.g.
mem=128M ramoops.mem_address=0x8000000
Sure, we could just reserve the region with memblock_reserve() early in
the arch/ code, and then register a pstore_ram platform device pointing
to the reserved region. It's still a viable option if platform wants
to do so.
Also, we might want to use IO accessors in case of a real device,
but for now we don't bother (the old ramoops wasn't using it either, so
at least we don't make things worse).

Factor out vmap logic out of persistent_ram_buffer_map(), this will
make the code a bit more understandable when we'll add support for
non-bootmem memory.

The routine just creates a persistent ram zone at a specified address.
For persistent_ram_init_ringbuffer() we'd need to add a
'struct persistent_ram' to the global list, and associate it with a
device. We don't need all this complexity in pstore_ram, so we introduce
the simple function.

This is a longstanding bug, almost unnoticeable when calling
persistent_ram_write() for small buffers.
But when called for large data buffers, the write routine behaves
incorrectly, as the size may never update: instead of clamping
the size to the maximum buffer size, buffer_size_add_clamp() returns
an error (which is never checked by the write routine, btw).
To fix this, we now use buffer_size_add() that actually clamps the
size to the max value.
Also remove buffer_size_add_clamp(), it is no longer needed.
