b0d4056dd6 [MIPS] Probe for usability of cp0 compare interrupt.
Some processors offer the option of using the interrupt on which
normally the count / compare interrupt would be signaled as a normal
interupt pin.  Previously this required some ugly hackery for each
system which is much easier done by a quick and simple probe.

60b0d65541 [MIPS] SYNC emulation for MIPS I processors
Userland, including the C library and the dynamic linker, is keen to use
the SYNC instruction, even for "generic" MIPS I binaries these days.
Which makes it less than useful on MIPS I processors.

This change adds the emulation, but as our do_ri() infrastructure was not
really prepared to take yet another instruction, I have rewritten it and
its callees slightly as follows.

Now there is only a single place a possible signal is thrown from.  The
place is at the end of do_ri().  The instruction word is fetched in
do_ri() and passed down to handlers.  The handlers are called in sequence
and return a result that lets the caller decide upon further processing.
If the result is positive, then the handler has picked the instruction,
but a signal should be thrown and the result is the signal number.  If the
result is zero, then the handler has successfully simulated the
instruction.  If the result is negative, then the handler did not handle
the instruction; to make it more obvious the calls do not follow the usual
0/-Exxx result convention they now return -1 instead of -EFAULT.

The calculation of the return EPC is now at the beginning.  The reason is
it is easier to handle it there as emulation callees may modify a register
and an instruction may be located in delay slot of a branch whose result
depends on the register.  It has to be undone if a signal is to be raised,
but it is not a problem as this is the slow-path case, and both actions
are done in single places now rather than the former being scattered
through emulation handlers.

The part of do_cpu() being covered follows the changes to do_ri().

b53767719b Implement file posix capabilities
Implement file posix capabilities.  This allows programs to be given a
subset of root's powers regardless of who runs them, without having to use
setuid and giving the binary all of root's powers.

This version works with Kaigai Kohei's userspace tools, found at
http://www.kaigai.gr.jp/index.php.  For more information on how to use this
patch, Chris Friedhoff has posted a nice page at
http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.

Changelog:
	Nov 27:
	Incorporate fixes from Andrew Morton
	(security-introduce-file-caps-tweaks and
	security-introduce-file-caps-warning-fix)
	Fix Kconfig dependency.
	Fix change signaling behavior when file caps are not compiled in.

	Nov 13:
	Integrate comments from Alexey: Remove CONFIG_ ifdef from
	capability.h, and use %zd for printing a size_t.

	Nov 13:
	Fix endianness warnings by sparse as suggested by Alexey
	Dobriyan.

	Nov 09:
	Address warnings of unused variables at cap_bprm_set_security
	when file capabilities are disabled, and simultaneously clean
	up the code a little, by pulling the new code into a helper
	function.

	Nov 08:
	For pointers to required userspace tools and how to use
	them, see http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.

	Nov 07:
	Fix the calculation of the highest bit checked in
	check_cap_sanity().

	Nov 07:
	Allow file caps to be enabled without CONFIG_SECURITY, since
	capabilities are the default.
	Hook cap_task_setscheduler when !CONFIG_SECURITY.
	Move capable(TASK_KILL) to end of cap_task_kill to reduce
	audit messages.

	Nov 05:
	Add secondary calls in selinux/hooks.c to task_setioprio and
	task_setscheduler so that selinux and capabilities with file
	cap support can be stacked.

	Sep 05:
	As Seth Arnold points out, uid checks are out of place
	for capability code.

	Sep 01:
	Define task_setscheduler, task_setioprio, cap_task_kill, and
	task_setnice to make sure a user cannot affect a process in which
	they called a program with some fscaps.

	One remaining question is the note under task_setscheduler: are we
	ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being sufficient to confine a process to a
	cpuset?

	It is a semantic change, as without fsccaps, attach_task doesn't
	allow CAP_SYS_NICE to override the uid equivalence check.  But since
	it uses security_task_setscheduler, which elsewhere is used where
	CAP_SYS_NICE can be used to override the uid equivalence check,
	fixing it might be tough.

	     task_setscheduler
		 note: this also controls cpuset:attach_task.  Are we ok with
		     CAP_SYS_NICE being used to confine to a cpuset?
	     task_setioprio
	     task_setnice
		 sys_setpriority uses this (through set_one_prio) for another
		 process.  Need same checks as setrlimit

	Aug 21:
	Updated secureexec implementation to reflect the fact that
	euid and uid might be the same and nonzero, but the process
	might still have elevated caps.

	Aug 15:
	Handle endianness of xattrs.
	Enforce capability version match between kernel and disk.
	Enforce that no bits beyond the known max capability are
	set, else return -EPERM.
	With this extra processing, it may be worth reconsidering
	doing all the work at bprm_set_security rather than
	d_instantiate.

	Aug 10:
	Always call getxattr at bprm_set_security, rather than
	caching it at d_instantiate.

20510f2f4e security: Convert LSM into a static interface
Convert LSM into a static interface, as the ability to unload a security
module is not required by in-tree users and potentially complicates the
overall security architecture.

Needlessly exported LSM symbols have been unexported, to help reduce API
abuse.

Parameters for the capability and root_plug modules are now specified
at boot.

The SECURITY_FRAMEWORK_VERSION macro has also been removed.

In a nutshell, there is no safe way to unload an LSM.  The modular interface
is thus unecessary and broken infrastructure.  It is used only by out-of-tree
modules, which are often binary-only, illegal, abusive of the API and
dangerous, e.g.  silently re-vectoring SELinux.

6b5b55f6c4 kernel-doc: fix doc blocks and html
Johannes Berg reports (Thanks!) that &struct names are not highlighted in
html output format when they are inside a DOC: block.

DOC: blocks were not escaped thru xml_escape() like other kernel-doc
comments were.  Fixed that.

However, that left a problem with <p> ($blankline_html) being processed
thru xml_escape(), converting it to &lt;p&gt;, which isn't good for the
generated html output (the <p> should remain unchanged), so this patch also
introduces the notion of "local" kernel-doc meta-characters
('\\\\mnemonic:'), which are converted to html just before writing the
stream to its output file.

Please report any problems that you (anyone) see in "highlighting" in any
output mode (text, man, html, xml).

Also update copyright to include me.

a8754beedb r/o bind mounts: create cleanup helper svc_msnfs()
I'm going to be modifying nfsd_rename() shortly to support read-only bind
mounts.  This #ifdef is around the area I'm patching, and it starts to get
really ugly if I just try to add my new code by itself.  Using this little
helper makes things a lot cleaner to use.

c7eb26678e r/o bind mounts: give permission() a local 'mnt' variable
First of all, this makes the structure jumping look a little bit cleaner.  So,
this stands alone as a tiny cleanup.  But, we also need 'mnt' by itself a few
more times later in this series, so this isn't _just_ a cleanup.

b41572e929 r/o bind mounts: rearrange may_open() to be r/o friendly
may_open() calls vfs_permission() before it does checks for IS_RDONLY(inode).
It checks _again_ inside of vfs_permission().

The check inside of vfs_permission() is going away eventually.  With the
mnt_want/drop_write() functions, all of the r/o checks (except for this one)
are consistently done before calling permission().  Because of this, I'd like
to use permission() to hold a debugging check to make sure that the
mnt_want/drop_write() calls are actually being made.

So, to do this:
1. remove the IS_RDONLY() check from permission()
2. enforce that you must mnt_want_write() before
   even calling permission()
3. actually add the debugging check to permission()

We need to rearrange may_open() to do r/o checks before calling permission().
Here's the patch.

ce8d2cdf3d r/o bind mounts: filesystem helpers for custom 'struct file's
Why do we need r/o bind mounts?

This feature allows a read-only view into a read-write filesystem.  In the
process of doing that, it also provides infrastructure for keeping track of
the number of writers to any given mount.

This has a number of uses.  It allows chroots to have parts of filesystems
writable.  It will be useful for containers in the future because users may
have root inside a container, but should not be allowed to write to
somefilesystems.  This also replaces patches that vserver has had out of the
tree for several years.

It allows security enhancement by making sure that parts of your filesystem
read-only (such as when you don't trust your FTP server), when you don't want
to have entire new filesystems mounted, or when you want atime selectively
updated.  I've been using the following script to test that the feature is
working as desired.  It takes a directory and makes a regular bind and a r/o
bind mount of it.  It then performs some normal filesystem operations on the
three directories, including ones that are expected to fail, like creating a
file on the r/o mount.

This patch:

Some filesystems forego the vfs and may_open() and create their own 'struct
file's.

This patch creates a couple of helper functions which can be used by these
filesystems, and will provide a unified place which the r/o bind mount code
may patch.

Also, rename an existing, static-scope init_file() to a less generic name.
