<title>autofs: add AUTOFS_EXP_FORCED flag</title>

The userspace automount(8) daemon is meant to perform a forced expire when
sent a SIGUSR2.

But since the expiration is routed through the kernel and the kernel
doesn't send an expire request if the mount is busy this hasn't worked at
least since autofs version 5.

Add an AUTOFS_EXP_FORCED flag to allow implemention of the feature and
bump the protocol version so user space can check if it's implemented if
needed.

the same as it is named in the version 5 miscelaneous ioctl parameters and
only check the bit flags when needed.

<title>autofs: fix clearing AUTOFS_EXP_LEAVES in autofs_expire_indirect()</title>

The expire flag AUTOFS_EXP_LEAVES is cleared before the second call to
should_expire() in autofs_expire_indirect() but the parameter passed in
the second call is incorrect.

Fortunately AUTOFS_EXP_LEAVES expire flag has not been used for a long
time but might be needed in the future so fix it rather than remove the
expire leaves functionality.

The global variable "now" in fs/autofs/expire.c is used in an inconsistent
way, sometimes using jiffies directly, and sometimes using the "now"
variable, and setting it isn't done consistently either.

But the autofs dentry info last_used field is only updated during path
walks or during expire so jiffies can be used directly and the global
variable "now" removed.

Depending on how it is configured the autofs user space daemon can leave
in use mounts mounted at exit and re-connect to them at start up.  But for
this to work best the state of the autofs file system needs to be left
intact over the restart.

Also, at system shutdown, mounts in an autofs file system might be
umounted exposing a mount point trigger for which subsequent access can
lead to a hang.  So recent versions of automount(8) now does its best to
set autofs file system mounts catatonic at shutdown.

When autofs file system mounts are catatonic it's currently possible to
create and remove directories and symlinks which can be a problem at
restart, as described above.

So return EACCES in the directory, symlink and unlink methods if the
autofs file system is catatonic.

Pull core signal handling updates from Eric Biederman:
 "It was observed that a periodic timer in combination with a
  sufficiently expensive fork could prevent fork from every completing.
  This contains the changes to remove the need for that restart.

  This set of changes is split into several parts:

   - The first part makes PIDTYPE_TGID a proper pid type instead
     something only for very special cases. The part starts using
     PIDTYPE_TGID enough so that in __send_signal where signals are
     actually delivered we know if the signal is being sent to a a group
     of processes or just a single process.

   - With that prep work out of the way the logic in fork is modified so
     that fork logically makes signals received while it is running
     appear to be received after the fork completes"

* 'siginfo-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (22 commits)
  signal: Don't send signals to tasks that don't exist
  signal: Don't restart fork when signals come in.
  fork: Have new threads join on-going signal group stops
  fork: Skip setting TIF_SIGPENDING in ptrace_init_task
  signal: Add calculate_sigpending()
  fork: Unconditionally exit if a fatal signal is pending
  fork: Move and describe why the code examines PIDNS_ADDING
  signal: Push pid type down into complete_signal.
  signal: Push pid type down into __send_signal
  signal: Push pid type down into send_signal
  signal: Pass pid type into do_send_sig_info
  signal: Pass pid type into send_sigio_to_task &amp; send_sigurg_to_task
  signal: Pass pid type into group_send_sig_info
  signal: Pass pid and pid type into send_sigqueue
  posix-timers: Noralize good_sigevent
  signal: Use PIDTYPE_TGID to clearly store where file signals will be sent
  pid: Implement PIDTYPE_TGID

Pull core signal handling updates from Eric Biederman:
 "It was observed that a periodic timer in combination with a
  sufficiently expensive fork could prevent fork from every completing.
  This contains the changes to remove the need for that restart.

  This set of changes is split into several parts:

   - The first part makes PIDTYPE_TGID a proper pid type instead
     something only for very special cases. The part starts using
     PIDTYPE_TGID enough so that in __send_signal where signals are
     actually delivered we know if the signal is being sent to a a group
     of processes or just a single process.

   - With that prep work out of the way the logic in fork is modified so
     that fork logically makes signals received while it is running
     appear to be received after the fork completes"
