Add the appropriate members into struct user_arg_ptr and teach
get_user_arg_ptr() to handle is_compat = T case correctly.

This allows us to remove the compat_do_execve() code from fs/compat.c
and reimplement compat_do_execve() as the trivial wrapper on top of
do_execve_common(is_compat =&gt; true).

In fact, this fixes another (minor) bug. "compat_uptr_t str" can
overflow after "str += len" in compat_copy_strings() if a 64bit
application execs via sys32_execve().

Unexport acct_arg_size() and get_arg_page(), fs/compat.c doesn't
need them any longer.

New helpers: user_statfs() and fd_statfs(), taking userland pathname and
descriptor resp. and filling struct kstatfs.  Syscalls of statfs family
(native, compat and foreign - osf and hpux on alpha and parisc resp.)
switched to those.  Removes some boilerplate code, simplifies cleanup
on errors...

Fix for a dumb preadv()/pwritev() compat bug - unlike the native
variants, compat_... ones forget to check FMODE_P{READ,WRITE}, so e.g.
on pipe the native preadv() will fail with -ESPIPE and compat one will
act as readv() and succeed.  Not critical, but it's a clear bug with trivial
fix.

<title>exec: copy-and-paste the fixes into compat_do_execve() paths</title>

Note: this patch targets 2.6.37 and tries to be as simple as possible.
That is why it adds more copy-and-paste horror into fs/compat.c and
uglifies fs/exec.c, this will be cleanuped later.

compat_copy_strings() plays with bprm-&gt;vma/mm directly and thus has
two problems: it lacks the RLIMIT_STACK check and argv/envp memory
is not visible to oom killer.

Export acct_arg_size() and get_arg_page(), change compat_copy_strings()
to use get_arg_page(), change compat_do_execve() to do acct_arg_size(0)
as do_execve() does.

Add the fatal_signal_pending/cond_resched checks into compat_count() and
compat_copy_strings(), this matches the code in fs/exec.c and certainly
makes sense.

The definition of PAGE_CACHE_MASK in &lt;linux/pagemap.h&gt; is needed to use
MAX_RW_COUNT, and on x86-64 that gets done indirectly through the
architecture header includes.  But on MIPS and s390 that doesn't happen,
and we need to make sure that fs/compat.c includes pagemap.h explicitly.

Introduced in commit 435f49a518c7 ("readv/writev: do the same
MAX_RW_COUNT truncation that read/write does").
