Now that "struct proc_ops" exist we can start putting there stuff which
could not fly with VFS "struct file_operations"...

Most of fs/proc/inode.c file is dedicated to make open/read/.../close
reliable in the event of disappearing /proc entries which usually happens
if module is getting removed.  Files like /proc/cpuinfo which never
disappear simply do not need such protection.

Save 2 atomic ops, 1 allocation, 1 free per open/read/close sequence for such
"permanent" files.

Enable "permanent" flag for

	/proc/cpuinfo
	/proc/kmsg
	/proc/modules
	/proc/slabinfo
	/proc/stat
	/proc/sysvipc/*
	/proc/swaps

More will come once I figure out foolproof way to prevent out module
authors from marking their stuff "permanent" for performance reasons
when it is not.

This should help with scalability: benchmark is "read /proc/cpuinfo R times
by N threads scattered over the system".

<title>proc: Use a list of inodes to flush from proc</title>

<id>7bc3e6e55acf065500a24621f3b313e7e5998acf</id>
<content type='text'>
Rework the flushing of proc to use a list of directory inodes that
need to be flushed.

The list is kept on struct pid not on struct task_struct, as there is
a fixed connection between proc inodes and pids but at least for the
case of de_thread the pid of a task_struct changes.

This removes the dependency on proc_mnt which allows for different
mounts of proc having different mount options even in the same pid
namespace and this allows for the removal of proc_mnt which will
trivially the first mount of proc to honor it's mount options.

This flushing remains an optimization.  The functions
pid_delete_dentry and pid_revalidate ensure that ordinary dcache
management will not attempt to use dentries past the point their
respective task has died.  When unused the shrinker will
eventually be able to remove these dentries.

There is a case in de_thread where proc_flush_pid can be
called early for a given pid.  Which winds up being
safe (if suboptimal) as this is just an optiimization.

Only pid directories are put on the list as the other
per pid files are children of those directories and
d_invalidate on the directory will get them as well.

So that the pid can be used during flushing it's reference count is
taken in release_task and dropped in proc_flush_pid.  Further the call
of proc_flush_pid is moved after the tasklist_lock is released in
release_task so that it is certain that the pid has already been
unhashed when flushing it taking place.  This removes a small race
where a dentry could recreated.

As struct pid is supposed to be small and I need a per pid lock
I reuse the only lock that currently exists in struct pid the
the wait_pidfd.lock.

The net result is that this adds all of this functionality
with just a little extra list management overhead and
a single extra pointer in struct pid.

v2: Initialize pid-&gt;inodes.  I somehow failed to get that
    initialization into the initial version of the patch.  A boot
    failure was reported by "kernel test robot &lt;lkp@intel.com&gt;", and
    failure to initialize that pid-&gt;inodes matches all of the reported
    symptoms.

<title>proc: Use d_invalidate in proc_prune_siblings_dcache</title>

The function d_prune_aliases has the problem that it will only prune
aliases thare are completely unused.  It will not remove aliases for
the dcache or even think of removing mounts from the dcache.  For that
behavior d_invalidate is needed.

To use d_invalidate replace d_prune_aliases with d_find_alias followed
by d_invalidate and dput.

For completeness the directory and the non-directory cases are
separated because in theory (although not in currently in practice for
proc) directories can only ever have a single dentry while
non-directories can have hardlinks and thus multiple dentries.
As part of this separation use d_find_any_alias for directories
to spare d_find_alias the extra work of doing that.

Plus the differences between d_find_any_alias and d_find_alias makes
it clear why the directory and non-directory code and not share code.

To make it clear these routines now invalidate dentries rename
proc_prune_siblings_dache to proc_invalidate_siblings_dcache, and rename
proc_sys_prune_dcache proc_sys_invalidate_dcache.

V2: Split the directory and non-directory cases.  To make this
    code robust to future changes in proc.

I about to need and use the same functionality for pid based
inodes and there is no point in adding a second field when
this field is already here and serving the same purporse.

Just give the field a generic name so it is clear that
it is no longer sysctl specific.

Also for good measure initialize sibling_inodes when
proc_inode is initialized.

Currently core /proc code uses "struct file_operations" for custom hooks,
however, VFS doesn't directly call them.  Every time VFS expands
file_operations hook set, /proc code bloats for no reason.

Introduce "struct proc_ops" which contains only those hooks which /proc
allows to call into (open, release, read, write, ioctl, mmap, poll).  It
doesn't contain module pointer as well.

List iteration takes more code than anything else which means embedded
list_head should be the first element of the structure.

Pull vfs mount infrastructure updates from Al Viro:
 "The rest of core infrastructure; no new syscalls in that pile, but the
  old parts are switched to new infrastructure. At that point
  conversions of individual filesystems can happen independently; some
  are done here (afs, cgroup, procfs, etc.), there's also a large series
  outside of that pile dealing with NFS (quite a bit of option-parsing
  stuff is getting used there - it's one of the most convoluted
  filesystems in terms of mount-related logics), but NFS bits are the
  next cycle fodder.

  It got seriously simplified since the last cycle; documentation is
  probably the weakest bit at the moment - I considered dropping the
  commit introducing Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt (cutting
  the size increase by quarter ;-), but decided that it would be better
  to fix it up after -rc1 instead.

  That pile allows to do followup work in independent branches, which
  should make life much easier for the next cycle. fs/super.c size
  increase is unpleasant; there's a followup series that allows to
  shrink it considerably, but I decided to leave that until the next
  cycle"

* 'work.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (41 commits)
  afs: Use fs_context to pass parameters over automount

  vfs: Remove kern_mount_data()
  hugetlbfs: Convert to fs_context
  cpuset: Use fs_context
  kernfs, sysfs, cgroup, intel_rdt: Support fs_context

Pull security subsystem updates from James Morris:

 - Extend LSM stacking to allow sharing of cred, file, ipc, inode, and
   task blobs. This paves the way for more full-featured LSMs to be
   merged, and is specifically aimed at LandLock and SARA LSMs. This
   work is from Casey and Kees.

 - There's a new LSM from Micah Morton: "SafeSetID gates the setid
   family of syscalls to restrict UID/GID transitions from a given
   UID/GID to only those approved by a system-wide whitelist." This
   feature is currently shipping in ChromeOS.

* 'next-general' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security: (62 commits)
  keys: fix missing __user in KEYCTL_PKEY_QUERY
  LSM: Update list of SECURITYFS users in Kconfig
  LSM: Ignore "security=" when "lsm=" is specified
  LSM: Update function documentation for cap_capable
  security: mark expected switch fall-throughs and add a missing break
  tomoyo: Bump version.
  LSM: fix return value check in safesetid_init_securityfs()
  LSM: SafeSetID: add selftest
  LSM: SafeSetID: remove unused include
  LSM: SafeSetID: 'depend' on CONFIG_SECURITY
  LSM: Add 'name' field for SafeSetID in DEFINE_LSM
  LSM: add SafeSetID module that gates setid calls
  LSM: add SafeSetID module that gates setid calls
