Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a bunch of small changes built against 3.16-rc6.  The most
  significant change for users is the first patch which makes setns
  drmatically faster by removing unneded rcu handling.

  The next chunk of changes are so that "mount -o remount,.." will not
  allow the user namespace root to drop flags on a mount set by the
  system wide root.  Aks this forces read-only mounts to stay read-only,
  no-dev mounts to stay no-dev, no-suid mounts to stay no-suid, no-exec
  mounts to stay no exec and it prevents unprivileged users from messing
  with a mounts atime settings.  I have included my test case as the
  last patch in this series so people performing backports can verify
  this change works correctly.

  The next change fixes a bug in NFS that was discovered while auditing
  nsproxy users for the first optimization.  Today you can oops the
  kernel by reading /proc/fs/nfsfs/{servers,volumes} if you are clever
  with pid namespaces.  I rebased and fixed the build of the
  !CONFIG_NFS_FS case yesterday when a build bot caught my typo.  Given
  that no one to my knowledge bases anything on my tree fixing the typo
  in place seems more responsible that requiring a typo-fix to be
  backported as well.

  The last change is a small semantic cleanup introducing
  /proc/thread-self and pointing /proc/mounts and /proc/net at it.  This
  prevents several kinds of problemantic corner cases.  It is a
  user-visible change so it has a minute chance of causing regressions
  so the change to /proc/mounts and /proc/net are individual one line
  commits that can be trivially reverted.  Unfortunately I lost and
  could not find the email of the original reporter so he is not
  credited.  From at least one perspective this change to /proc/net is a
  refgression fix to allow pthread /proc/net uses that were broken by
  the introduction of the network namespace"

  proc: Point /proc/mounts at /proc/thread-self/mounts instead of /proc/self/mounts

  proc: Implement /proc/thread-self to point at the directory of the current thread
  proc: Have net show up under /proc//task/
  NFS: Fix /proc/fs/nfsfs/servers and /proc/fs/nfsfs/volumes
  mnt: Add tests for unprivileged remount cases that have found to be faulty
  mnt: Change the default remount atime from relatime to the existing value
  mnt: Correct permission checks in do_remount
  mnt: Move the test for MNT_LOCK_READONLY from change_mount_flags into do_remount
  mnt: Only change user settable mount flags in remount
  namespaces: Use task_lock and not rcu to protect nsproxy

proc: remove INF macro

2014-08-08T22:57:23+00:00

If you're applying this patch, all /proc/$PID/* files were converted
to seq_file interface and this code became unused.

proc: add and remove /proc entry create checks

2014-08-08T22:57:22+00:00

* remove proc_create(NULL, ...) check, let it oops

* warn about proc_create("", ...) and proc_create("very very long name", ...)
  proc code keeps length as u8, no 256+ name length possible

* warn about proc_create("123", ...)
  /proc/$PID and /proc/misc namespaces are separate things,
  but dumb module might create funky a-la $PID entry.

* remove post mortem strchr('/') check
  Triggering it implies either strchr() is buggy or memory corruption.
  It should be VFS check anyway.

In reality, none of these checks will ever trigger,
it is preparation for the next patch.

Based on patch from Al Viro.

proc: Implement /proc/thread-self to point at the directory of the current thread

2014-08-04T17:07:11+00:00

/proc/thread-self is derived from /proc/self.  /proc/thread-self
points to the directory in proc containing information about the
current thread.

This funtionality has been missing for a long time, and is tricky to
implement in userspace as gettid() is not exported by glibc.  More
importantly this allows fixing defects in /proc/mounts and /proc/net
where in a threaded application today they wind up being empty files
when only the initial pthread has exited, causing problems for other
threads.

of: remove /proc/device-tree

2014-03-11T20:48:32+00:00

The same data is now available in sysfs, so we can remove the code
that exports it in /proc and replace it with a symlink to the sysfs
version.

Tested on versatile qemu model and mpc5200 eval board. More testing
would be appreciated.

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.
