Since Ulrich is OK with getting rid of dup3(fd, fd, flags) completely,
to hell the damn thing goes.  Corner case for dup2() is handled in
sys_dup2() (complete with -EBADF if dup2(fd, fd) is called with fd
that is not open), the rest is done in dup3().

Al Viro notice one cornercase that the new dup3() code.  The dup2()
function, as a special case, handles dup-ing to the same file
descriptor.  In this case the current dup3() code does nothing at
all.  I.e., it ingnores the flags parameter.  This shouldn't happen,
the close-on-exec flag should be set if requested.

In case the O_CLOEXEC bit in the flags parameter is not set the
dup3() function should behave in this respect identical to dup2().
This means dup3(fd, fd, 0) should not actively reset the c-o-e
flag.

The patch below implements this minor change.

[AV: credits to Artur Grabowski for bringing that up as potential subtle point
in dup2() behaviour]

Move the immutable and append-only checks from chmod, chown and utimes
into notify_change().  Checks for immutable and append-only files are
always performed by the VFS and not by the filesystem (see
permission() and may_...() in namei.c), so these belong in
notify_change(), and not in inode_change_ok().

This should be completely equivalent.

The FAT_IOCTL_SET_ATTRIBUTES ioctl() calls notify_change() to change
the file mode before changing the inode attributes.  Replace with
explicit calls to security_inode_setattr(), fat_setattr() and
fsnotify_change().

This is equivalent to the original.  The reason it is needed, is that
later in the series we move the immutable check into notify_change().
That would break the FAT_IOCTL_SET_ATTRIBUTES ioctl, as it needs to
perform the mode change regardless of the immutability of the file.

Add a new ia_valid flag: ATTR_TIMES_SET, to handle the
UTIMES_OMIT/UTIMES_NOW and UTIMES_NOW/UTIMES_OMIT cases.  In these
cases neither ATTR_MTIME_SET nor ATTR_ATIME_SET is in the flags, yet
the POSIX draft specifies that permission checking is performed the
same way as if one or both of the times was explicitly set to a
timestamp.

See the path "vfs: utimensat(): fix error checking for
{UTIME_NOW,UTIME_OMIT} case" by Michael Kerrisk for the patch
introducing this behavior.

This is a cleanup, as well as allowing filesystems (NFS/fuse/...) to
perform their own permission checking instead of the default.

hpfs_unlink() calls permission() prior to truncating the file.  HPFS
doesn't define a .permission method, so replace with explicit call to
generic_permission().

This is equivalent, except that devcgroup_inode_permission() and
security_inode_permission() are not called.

The truncation is just an implementation detail of the unlink, so
these security checks are unnecessary.

I suspect that even calling generic_permission() is unnecessary, since
we shouldn't mind if the file isn't writable.  But I leave that to the
maintainer to decide.

* keep references to ctl_table_head and ctl_table in /proc/sys inodes
* grab the former during operations, use the latter for access to
  entry if that succeeds
* have ->d_compare() check if table should be seen for one who does lookup;
  that allows us to avoid flipping inodes - if we have the same name resolve
  to different things, we'll just keep several dentries and ->d_compare()
  will reject the wrong ones.

  walk all ctl_table_header and scan ->attached_by for those that are

Lookup can install a child dentry for a deleted directory.  This keeps
the directory dentry alive, and the inode pinned in the cache and on
disk, even after all external references have gone away.

This isn't a big problem normally, since memory pressure or umount
will clear out the directory dentry and its children, releasing the
inode.  But for UBIFS this causes problems because its orphan area can
overflow.

Fix this by returning ENOENT for all lookups on a S_DEAD directory
before creating a child dentry.

Thanks to Zoltan Sogor for noticing this while testing UBIFS, and
Artem for the excellent analysis of the problem and testing.

These use task_current_syscall() to show the task's current system call

This moves all the ptrace hooks related to exec into tracehook.h inlines.

This also lifts the calls for tracing out of the binfmt load_binary hooks
into search_binary_handler() after it calls into the binfmt module.  This
change has no effect, since all the binfmt modules' load_binary functions
did the call at the end on success, and now search_binary_handler() does
it immediately after return if successful.  We consolidate the repeated
code, and binfmt modules no longer need to import ptrace_notify().
