next cycle ;-/This pile contains 9p cleanups and fixes (races in v9fs_fid_add()

more file_inode() work"* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
constify path_get/path_put and fs_struct.c stuff
fix nommu breakage in shmem.c
cache the value of file_inode() in struct file
9p: if v9fs_fid_lookup() gets to asking server, it'd better have hashed dentry
9p: make sure ->lookup() adds fid to the right dentry
9p: untangle ->lookup() a bit
9p: double iput() in ->lookup() if d_materialise_unique() fails

v9fs: get rid of v9fs_dentry
9p: turn fid->dlist into hlist
9p: don't bother with private lock in ->d_fsdata; dentry->d_lock will do just fine
more file_inode() open-coded instances
selinux: opened file can't have NULL or negative ->f_path.dentry(In the meantime, the hlist traversal macros have changed, so this
required a semantic conflict fixup for the newly hlistified fid->dlist)

Pull signal/compat fixes from Al Viro:
"Fixes for several regressions introduced in the last signal.git pile,
along with fixing bugs in truncate and ftruncate compat (on just about
anything biarch at least one of those two had been done wrong)."* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
compat: restore timerfd settime and gettime compat syscalls
[regression] braino in "sparc: convert to ksignal"

switch lseek to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE
lseek() and truncate() on sparc really need sign extension

...and fix up the callers. For do_file_open_root, just declare a
struct filename on the stack and fill out the .name field. For
do_filp_open, make it also take a struct filename pointer, and fix up its
callers to call it appropriately.For filp_open, add a variant that takes a struct filename pointer and turn
filp_open into a wrapper around it.Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton

Currently, this gets set mostly by happenstance when we call into
audit_inode_child. While that might be a little more efficient, it seems
wrong. If the syscall ends up failing before audit_inode_child ever gets
called, then you'll have an audit_names record that shows the full path
but has the parent inode info attached.Fix this by passing in a parent flag when we call audit_inode that gets
set to the value of LOOKUP_PARENT. We can then fix up the pathname for
the audit entry correctly from the get-go.While we're at it, clean up the no-op macro for audit_inode in the
!CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL case.Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton

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"

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."Fix up some fairly trivial conflicts in netfilter uid/git logging code.

Userspace can pass weird create mode in open(2) that we canonicalize to
"(mode & S_IALLUGO) | S_IFREG" in vfs_create().The problem is that we use the uncanonicalized mode before calling vfs_create()
with unforseen consequences.So do the canonicalization early in build_open_flags().

There are several entry points which dirty pages in a filesystem. mmap
(handled by block_page_mkwrite()), buffered write (handled by
__generic_file_aio_write()), splice write (generic_file_splice_write),
truncate, and fallocate (these can dirty last partial page - handled inside
each filesystem separately). Protect these places with sb_start_write() and
sb_end_write().->page_mkwrite() calls are particularly complex since they are called with
mmap_sem held and thus we cannot use standard sb_start_write() due to lock
ordering constraints. We solve the problem by using a special freeze protection
sb_start_pagefault() which ranks below mmap_sem.BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/897421

Most of places where we want freeze protection coincides with the places where
we also have remount-ro protection. So make mnt_want_write() and
mnt_drop_write() (and their _file alternative) prevent freezing as well.
For the few cases that are really interested only in remount-ro protection
provide new function variants.BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/897421
