remove_arg_zero() does free_arg_page() for no reason. This was needed
before and only if CONFIG_MMU=y: see commit 4fc75ff4816c ("exec: fix
remove_arg_zero"), install_arg_page() was called for every page != NULL
in bprm->page[] array. Today install_arg_page() has already gone and
free_arg_page() is nop after another commit b6a2fea39318 ("mm: variable
length argument support").CONFIG_MMU=n does free_arg_pages() in free_bprm() and thus it doesn't
need remove_arg_zero()->free_arg_page() too; apart from get_arg_page()
it never checks if the page in bprm->page[] was allocated or not, so the
"extra" non-freed page is fine. OTOH, this free_arg_page() can add the
minor pessimization, the caller is going to do copy_strings_kernel()
right after remove_arg_zero() which will likely need to re-allocate the
same page again.And as Hujunjie pointed out, the "offset == PAGE_SIZE" check is wrong
because we are going to increment bprm->p once again before return, so
CONFIG_MMU=n "leaks" the page anyway if '0' is the final byte in this
page.NOTE: remove_arg_zero() assumes that argv[0] is null-terminated but this
is not necessarily true. copy_strings() does "len = strnlen_user(...)",
then copy_from_user(len) but another thread or debuger can overwrite the
trailing '0' in between. Afaics nothing really bad can happen because
we must always have the null-terminated bprm->filename copied by the 1st
copy_strings_kernel(), but perhaps we should change this code to check
"bprm->p < bprm->exec" anyway, and/or change copy_strings() to ensure
that the last byte in string is always zero.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160517155335.GA31435@redhat.com

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"In this round, as Ted pointed out, fscrypto allows one more key prefix

- fault injection facility
- expose validity bitmaps for user to be aware of fragmentation

The PR_DUMPABLE flag causes the pid related paths of the proc file
system to be owned by ROOT.The implementation of pthread_set/getname_np however needs access to
/proc//task//comm. If PR_DUMPABLE is false this
implementation is locked out.This patch installs a special permission function for the file "comm"
that grants read and write access to all threads of the same group
regardless of the ownership of the inode. For all other threads the
function falls back to the generic inode permission check.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix spello in comment]

It's not possible to read the process umask without also modifying it,
which is what umask(2) does. A library cannot read umask safely,
especially if the main program might be multithreaded.Add a new status line ("Umask") in /proc//status. It contains the
file mode creation mask (umask) in octal. It is only shown for tasks
which have task->fs.This patch is adapted from one originally written by Pierre Carrier.
The use case is that we have endless trouble with people setting weird
umask() values (usually on the grounds of "security"), and then
everything breaking. I'm on the hook to fix these. We'd like to add
debugging to our program so we can dump out the umask in debug reports.Previous versions of the patch used a syscall so you could only read
your own umask. That's all I need. However there was quite a lot of
push-back from those, so this new version exports it in /proc.See:
