Three ipc syscalls (mq_timedsend, mq_timedreceive and and semtimedop)
take a timespec argument. After we move 32-bit architectures over to
useing 64-bit time_t based syscalls, we need seperate entry points for
the old 32-bit based interfaces.

This changes the #ifdef guards for the existing 32-bit compat syscalls
to check for CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME instead, which will then be
enabled on all existing 32-bit architectures.

<content type='text'>
This is a preparatation for changing over __kernel_timespec to 64-bit
times, which involves assigning new system call numbers for mq_timedsend(),
mq_timedreceive() and semtimedop() for compatibility with future y2038
proof user space.

The existing ABIs will remain available through compat code.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "There was a lot of work this cycle fixing bugs that were discovered
  after the merge window and getting everything ready where we can
  reasonably support fully unprivileged fuse. The bug fixes you already
  have and much of the unprivileged fuse work is coming in via other
  trees.

  Still left for fully unprivileged fuse is figuring out how to cleanly
  handle .set_acl and .get_acl in the legacy case, and properly handling
  of evm xattrs on unprivileged mounts.

  Included in the tree is a cleanup from Alexely that replaced a linked
  list with a statically allocated fix sized array for the pid caches,
  which simplifies and speeds things up.

  Then there is are some cleanups and fixes for the ipc namespace. The
  motivation was that in reviewing other code it was discovered that
  access ipc objects from different pid namespaces recorded pids in such
  a way that when asked the wrong pids were returned. In the worst case
  there has been a measured 30% performance impact for sysvipc
  semaphores. Other test cases showed no measurable performance impact.
  Manfred Spraul and Davidlohr Bueso who tend to work on sysvipc
  performance both gave the nod that this is good enough.

  Casey Schaufler and James Morris have given their approval to the LSM
  side of the changes.

  I simplified the types and the code dealing with sysvipc to pass just
  kern_ipc_perm for all three types of ipc. Which reduced the header
  dependencies throughout the kernel and simplified the lsm code.

  Which let me work on the pid fixes without having to worry about
  trivial changes causing complete kernel recompiles"

* 'userns-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
  ipc/shm: Fix pid freeing.
  ipc/shm: fix up for struct file no longer being available in shm.h
  ipc/smack: Tidy up from the change in type of the ipc security hooks
  ipc: Directly call the security hook in ipc_ops.associate
  ipc/sem: Fix semctl(..., GETPID, ...) between pid namespaces
  ipc/msg: Fix msgctl(..., IPC_STAT, ...) between pid namespaces
  ipc/shm: Fix shmctl(..., IPC_STAT, ...) between pid namespaces.
  ipc/util: Helpers for making the sysvipc operations pid namespace aware
  ipc: Move IPCMNI from include/ipc.h into ipc/util.h
  msg: Move struct msg_queue into ipc/msg.c
  shm: Move struct shmid_kernel into ipc/shm.c
  sem: Move struct sem and struct sem_array into ipc/sem.c
  msg/security: Pass kern_ipc_perm not msg_queue into the msg_queue security hooks
  shm/security: Pass kern_ipc_perm not shmid_kernel into the shm security hooks
  sem/security: Pass kern_ipc_perm not sem_array into the sem security hooks
  pidns: simpler allocation of pid_* caches

Provide ksys_msgsnd() and compat_ksys_msgsnd() wrappers to avoid in-kernel
calls to these syscalls. The ksys_ prefix denotes that these functions are
meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscalls. In particular, they use
the same calling convention as sys_msgsnd() and compat_sys_msgsnd().

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see

Provide ksys_msgget() wrapper to avoid in-kernel calls to this syscall.
The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in
replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling
convention as sys_msgget().

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see
