audit: allow unsetting the loginuid (with priv)

2013-11-05T16:08:09+00:00

If a task has CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL allow that task to unset their loginuid.
This would allow a child of that task to set their loginuid without
CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL.  Thus when launching a new login daemon, a
priviledged helper would be able to unset the loginuid and then the
daemon, which may be malicious user facing, do not need priv to function
correctly.

posix-timers: Show clock ID in proc file

2013-05-28T09:41:14+00:00

Expand information about posix-timers in /proc//timers by adding
info about clock, with which the timer was created. I.e. in the forth
line of timer info after "notify:" line go "ClockID: ".

2013-05-02T00:51:54+00:00

Pull VFS updates from Al Viro,

Misc cleanups all over the place, mainly wrt /proc interfaces (switch
create_proc_entry to proc_create(), get rid of the deprecated
create_proc_read_entry() in favor of using proc_create_data() and
seq_file etc).

7kloc removed.
