The 'PG_checked' flag is used to indicate that the page does not
supposedly exist on the media (e.g., a hole or a page beyond the
inode size), so it requires slightly bigger budget, because we have
to account the indexing size increase. And this flag basically
tells that the budget for this page has to be "new page budget".
The "new page budget" is slightly bigger than the "existing page
budget".
The 'do_readpage()' function has the following assertion which
sometimes is hit: 'ubifs_assert(!PageChecked(page))'. Obviously,
the meaning of this assertion is: "I should not be asked to read
a page which does not exist on the media".
However, in 'ubifs_write_begin()' we have a small "trick". Notice,
that VFS may write pages which were not read yet, so the page data
were not loaded from the media to the page cache yet. If VFS tells
that it is going to change only some part of the page, we obviously
have to load it from the media. However, if VFS tells that it is
going to change whole page, we do not read it from the media for
optimization purposes.
However, since we do not read it, we do not know if it exists on
the media or not (a hole, etc). So we set the 'PG_checked' flag
to this page to force bigger budget, just in case.
So 'ubifs_write_begin()' sets 'PG_checked'. Then we are in
'ubifs_write_end()'. And VFS tells us: "hey, for some reasons I
changed my mind and did not change whole page". Frankly, I do not
know why this happens, but I hit this somehow on an ARM platform.
And this is extremely rare.
So in this case UBIFS does the following:
1. Cancels allocated budget.
2. Loads the page from the media by calling 'do_readpage()'.
3. Asks VFS to repeat the whole write operation from the very
beginning (call '->write_begin() again, etc).
And the assertion warning is hit at the step 2 - remember we have
the 'PG_checked' set for this page, and 'do_readpage()' does not
like this. So this patch fixes the problem by adding step 1.5 and
cleaning the 'PG_checked' before calling 'do_readpage()'.
All in all, this patch does not fix any functionality issue, but it
silences UBIFS false positive warning which may happen in very very
rare cases.
And while on it, this patch also improves a commentary which explains
the reasons of setting the 'PG_checked' flag for the page. The old
commentary was a bit difficult to understand.

Simplify UBIFS configuration menu and kill the option to enable self-check
compile-time. We do not really need this because we can do this run-time
using the module parameters or the corresponding sysfs interfaces. And
there is a value in simplifying the kernel configuration menu which becomes
increasingly large.

Cheat for now and say all files belong to init_user_ns. Next step will be
to let superblocks belong to a user_ns, and derive inode_userns(inode)
from inode->i_sb->s_user_ns. Finally we'll introduce more flexible
arrangements.
Changelog:
Feb 15: make is_owner_or_cap take const struct inode
Feb 23: make is_owner_or_cap bool

While mm->start_stack was protected from cross-uid viewing (commit
f83ce3e6b02d5 ("proc: avoid information leaks to non-privileged
processes")), the start_code and end_code values were not. This would
allow the text location of a PIE binary to leak, defeating ASLR.
Note that the value "1" is used instead of "0" for a protected value since
"ps", "killall", and likely other readers of /proc/pid/stat, take
start_code of "0" to mean a kernel thread and will misbehave. Thanks to
Brad Spengler for pointing this out.

1. namelen is declared "unsigned short" which hints for "maybe space savings".
Indeed in 2.4 struct proc_dir_entry looked like:
struct proc_dir_entry {
unsigned short low_ino;
unsigned short namelen;
Now, low_ino is "unsigned int", all savings were gone for a long time.
"struct proc_dir_entry" is not that countless to worry about it's size,
anyway.
2. converting from unsigned short to int/unsigned int can only create
problems, we better play it safe.
Space is not really conserved, because of natural alignment for the next
field. sizeof(struct proc_dir_entry) remains the same.

The current code fails to print the "[heap]" marking if the heap is split

Fix the check so that the marking is displayed in all possible cases:
1. vma matches exactly the heap
2. the heap vma is merged e.g. with bss
3. the heap vma is splitted e.g. due to locked pages

minix bit operations are only used by minix filesystem and useless by
other modules. Because byte order of inode and block bitmaps is different
on each architecture like below:
m68k:
big-endian 16bit indexed bitmaps
h8300, microblaze, s390, sparc, m68knommu:
big-endian 32 or 64bit indexed bitmaps
m32r, mips, sh, xtensa:
big-endian 32 or 64bit indexed bitmaps for big-endian mode
little-endian bitmaps for little-endian mode
Others:
little-endian bitmaps
In order to move minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h to architecture
independent code in minix filesystem, this provides two config options.
CONFIG_MINIX_FS_BIG_ENDIAN_16BIT_INDEXED is only selected by m68k.
CONFIG_MINIX_FS_NATIVE_ENDIAN is selected by the architectures which use
native byte order bitmaps (h8300, microblaze, s390, sparc, m68knommu,
m32r, mips, sh, xtensa). The architectures which always use little-endian
bitmaps do not select these options.
Finally, we can remove minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h for all
architectures.

All of those are rw-r--r-- and all are broken for suid - if you open
a file before the target does suid-root exec, you'll be still able
to access it. For personality it's not a big deal, but for syscall
and stack it's a real problem.
Fix: check that task is tracable for you at the time of read().

This change allows us to take advantage of access_remote_vm(), which in turn
eliminates a security issue with the mem_write() implementation.
The previous implementation of mem_write() was insecure since the target task
could exec a setuid-root binary between the permission check and the actual
write. Holding a reference to the target mm_struct eliminates this
vulnerability.

Avoid a potential race when task exec's and we get a new ->mm but check against
the old credentials in ptrace_may_access().
Holding of the mutex is implemented by factoring out the body of the code into a
helper function __check_mem_permission(). Performing this factorization now
simplifies upcoming changes and minimizes churn in the diff's.

This change makes mem_write() observe the same constraints as mem_read(). This
is particularly important for mem_write as an accidental leak of the fd across
an exec could result in arbitrary modification of the target process' memory.
IOW, /proc/pid/mem is implicitly close-on-exec.

Morally, the presence of a gate vma is more an attribute of a particular mm than
a particular task. Moreover, dropping the dependency on task_struct will help
make both existing and future operations on mm's more flexible and convenient.

Instead of always creating a huge (268K) deflate_workspace with the
maximum compression parameters (windowBits=15, memLevel=8), allow the
caller to obtain a smaller workspace by specifying smaller parameter
values.
For example, when capturing oops and panic reports to a medium with
limited capacity, such as NVRAM, compression may be the only way to
capture the whole report. In this case, a small workspace (24K works
fine) is a win, whether you allocate the workspace when you need it (i.e.,
during an oops or panic) or at boot time.
I've verified that this patch works with all accepted values of windowBits
(positive and negative), memLevel, and compression level.

The test program below will hang because io_getevents() uses
add_wait_queue_exclusive(), which means the wake_up() in io_destroy() only
wakes up one of the threads. Fix this by using wake_up_all() in the aio
code paths where we want to make sure no one gets stuck.

ADFS (FileCore) storage complies with the RISC OS filetype specification
(12 bits of file type information is stored in the file load address,
rather than using a file extension). The existing driver largely ignores
this information and does not present it to the end user.
It is desirable that stored filetypes be made visible to the end user to
facilitate a precise copy of data and metadata from a hard disc (or image
thereof) into a RISC OS emulator (such as RPCEmu) or to a network share
which can be accessed by real Acorn systems.
This patch implements a per-mount filetype suffix option (use -o
ftsuffix=1) to present any filetype as a ,xyz hexadecimal suffix on each
file. This type suffix is compatible with that used by RISC OS systems
that access network servers using NFS client software and by RPCemu's host
filing system.

ADFS (FileCore) storage complies with the RISC OS timestamp specification
(40-bit centiseconds since 01 Jan 1900 00:00:00). It is desirable that
stored timestamp precision be maintained to facilitate a precise copy of
data and metadata from a hard disc (or image thereof) into a RISC OS
emulator (such as RPCEmu).
This patch implements a full-precision conversion from ADFS to Unix
timestamp as the existing driver, for ease of calculation with old 32-bit
compilers, uses the common trick of shifting the 40-bits representing
centiseconds around into 32-bits representing seconds thereby losing
precision.

Kernel crashes in fs/adfs module when accessing directories with a large
number of objects on mounted Acorn ADFS E+/F+ format discs (or images) as
the existing code writes off the end of the fixed array of struct
buffer_head pointers.
Additionally, each directory access that didn't crash would leak a buffer
as nr_buffers was not adjusted correctly for E+/F+ discs (was always left
as one less than required).
The patch fixes this by allocating a dynamically-sized set of struct
buffer_head pointers if necessary for the E+/F+ case (many directories
still do in fact fit in 2048 bytes) and sets the correct nr_buffers so
that all buffers are released.
Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26072
Tested by tar'ing the contents of my RISC PC's E+ format 20Gb HDD which
contains a number of large directories that previously crashed the kernel.

With GCC-4.6 we get warnings about things being 'set but not used'.
In load_elf_binary() this can happen with reloc_func_desc if ELF_PLAT_INIT
is defined, but doesn't use the reloc_func_desc argument.
Quiet the warning/error by marking reloc_func_desc as __maybe_unused.
