This code is rarely (never?) enabled by distros, and it hasn't caught
anything in decades. Let's kill off this legacy debug code.

A backing file struct stores two path's, one "real" path that is referring
to f_inode and one "fake" path, which should be displayed to users in
/proc/<pid>/maps.

There is a lot more potential code that needs to know the "real" path, then
code that needs to know the "fake" path.

Instead of code having to request the "real" path with file_real_path(),
store the "real" path in f_path and require code that needs to know the
"fake" path request it with file_user_path().
Replace the file_real_path() helper with a simple const accessor f_path().

After this change, file_dentry() is not expected to observe any files
with overlayfs f_path and real f_inode, so the call to ->d_real() should
not be needed.  Leave the ->d_real() call for now and add an assertion
in ovl_d_real() to catch if we made wrong assumptions.

A writeable mapped backing file can perform writes to the real inode.
Therefore, the real path mount must be kept writable so long as the
writable map exists.

This may not be strictly needed for ovelrayfs private upper mount,
but it is correct to take the mnt_writers count in the vfs helper.

Before exporting these helpers to modules, make their names more
meaningful.

The names mnt_{get,put)_write_access*() were chosen, because they rhyme
with the inode {get,put)_write_access() helpers, which have a very close
meaning for the inode object.

Pull fchmodat2 system call from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds the fchmodat2() system call. It is a revised version of the
  fchmodat() system call, adding a missing flag argument. Support for
  both AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW and AT_EMPTY_PATH are included.

  Adding this system call revision has been a longstanding request but
  so far has always fallen through the cracks. While the kernel
  implementation of fchmodat() does not have a flag argument the libc
  provided POSIX-compliant fchmodat(3) version does. Both glibc and musl
  have to implement a workaround in order to support AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW
  (see [1] and [2]).

  The workaround is brittle because it relies not just on O_PATH and
  O_NOFOLLOW semantics and procfs magic links but also on our rather
  inconsistent symlink semantics.

  This gives userspace a proper fchmodat2() system call that libcs can
  use to properly implement fchmodat(3) and allows them to get rid of
  their hacks. In this case it will immediately benefit them as the
  current workaround is already defunct because of aformentioned
  inconsistencies.

  In addition to AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, give userspace the ability to use
  AT_EMPTY_PATH with fchmodat2(). This is already possible with
  fchownat() so there's no reason to not also support it for
  fchmodat2().

  The implementation is simple and comes with selftests. Implementation
  of the system call and wiring up the system call are done as separate
  patches even though they could arguably be one patch. But in case
  there are merge conflicts from other system call additions it can be
  beneficial to have separate patches"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
  for vfs and individual filesystems.

  Features:

   - Block mode changes on symlinks and rectify our broken semantics

   - Report file modifications via fsnotify() for splice

   - Allow specifying an explicit timeout for the "rootwait" kernel
     command line option. This allows to timeout and reboot instead of
     always waiting indefinitely for the root device to show up

   - Use synchronous fput for the close system call

  Cleanups:

   - Get rid of open-coded lockdep workarounds for async io submitters
     and replace it all with a single consolidated helper

   - Simplify epoll allocation helper

   - Convert simple_write_begin and simple_write_end to use a folio

   - Convert page_cache_pipe_buf_confirm() to use a folio

   - Simplify __range_close to avoid pointless locking

   - Disable per-cpu buffer head cache for isolated cpus

   - Port ecryptfs to kmap_local_page() api

   - Remove redundant initialization of pointer buf in pipe code

   - Unexport the d_genocide() function which is only used within core
     vfs

   - Replace printk(KERN_ERR) and WARN_ON() with WARN()

  Fixes:

   - Fix various kernel-doc issues

   - Fix refcount underflow for eventfds when used as EFD_SEMAPHORE

   - Fix a mainly theoretical issue in devpts

   - Check the return value of __getblk() in reiserfs

   - Fix a racy assert in i_readcount_dec

   - Fix integer conversion issues in various functions

   - Fix LSM security context handling during automounts that prevented
     NFS superblock sharing"

close(2) is a special case which guarantees a shallow kernel stack,
making delegation to task_work machinery unnecessary. Said delegation is
problematic as it involves atomic ops and interrupt masking trips, none
of which are cheap on x86-64. Forcing close(2) to do it looks like an
oversight in the original work.

Moreover presence of CONFIG_RSEQ adds an additional overhead as fput()
-> task_work_add(..., TWA_RESUME) -> set_notify_resume() makes the
thread returning to userspace land in resume_user_mode_work(), where
rseq_handle_notify_resume takes a SMAP round-trip if rseq is enabled for
the thread (and it is by default with contemporary glibc).

Sample result when benchmarking open1_processes -t 1 from will-it-scale
(that's an open + close loop) + tmpfs on /tmp, running on the Sapphire
Rapid CPU (ops/s):
stock+RSEQ:     1329857
stock-RSEQ:     1421667 (+7%)
patched:        1523521 (+14.5% / +7%) (with / without rseq)

Patched result is the same regardless of rseq as the codepath is avoided.

O_TMPFILE is actually __O_TMPFILE|O_DIRECTORY. This means that the old
fast-path check for RESOLVE_CACHED would reject all users passing
O_DIRECTORY with -EAGAIN, when in fact the intended test was to check
for __O_TMPFILE.

This allows userspace to avoid going through /proc/self/fd when dealing
with all types of file descriptors for chmod(), and makes fchmodat2() a
proper superset of all other chmod syscalls.

The primary difference between fchmodat2(AT_EMPTY_PATH) and fchmod() is
that fchmod() doesn't operate on O_PATH file descriptors by design. To
quote open(2):

> O_PATH (since Linux 2.6.39)
> [...]
> The file itself is not opened, and other file operations (e.g.,
> read(2), write(2), fchmod(2), fchown(2), fgetxattr(2), ioctl(2),
> mmap(2)) fail with the error EBADF.

However, procfs has allowed userspace to do this operation ever since
the introduction of O_PATH through magic-links, so adding this feature
is only an improvement for programs that have to mess around with
/proc/self/fd/$n today to get this behaviour. In addition,
fchownat(AT_EMPTY_PATH) has existed since the introduction of O_PATH and
allows chown() operations directly on O_PATH descriptors.
