<title>Pidns: make full use of xxx_vnr() calls</title>

Some time ago the xxx_vnr() calls (e.g.  pid_vnr or find_task_by_vpid) were
_all_ converted to operate on the current pid namespace.  After this each call
like xxx_nr_ns(foo, current-&gt;nsproxy-&gt;pid_ns) is nothing but a xxx_vnr(foo)
one.

Switch all the xxx_nr_ns() callers to use the xxx_vnr() calls where
appropriate.

signal_struct-&gt;tsk points to the -&gt;group_leader and thus we have the nasty
code in de_thread() which has to change it and restart -&gt;real_timer if the
leader is changed.

Use "struct pid *leader_pid" instead.  This also allows us to kill now
unneeded send_group_sig_info().

1. It is much easier to grep for -&gt;state change if __set_task_state() is used
   instead of the direct assignment.

2. ptrace_stop() and handle_group_stop() use set_task_state() which adds the
   unneeded mb() (btw even if we use mb() it is still possible that do_wait()
   sees the new -&gt;state but not -&gt;exit_code, but this is ok).

<title>capabilities: introduce per-process capability bounding set</title>

<id>3b7391de67da515c91f48aa371de77cb6cc5c07e</id>
<content type='text'>
The capability bounding set is a set beyond which capabilities cannot grow.
 Currently cap_bset is per-system.  It can be manipulated through sysctl,
but only init can add capabilities.  Root can remove capabilities.  By
default it includes all caps except CAP_SETPCAP.

This patch makes the bounding set per-process when file capabilities are
enabled.  It is inherited at fork from parent.  Noone can add elements,
CAP_SETPCAP is required to remove them.

One example use of this is to start a safer container.  For instance, until
device namespaces or per-container device whitelists are introduced, it is
best to take CAP_MKNOD away from a container.

The bounding set will not affect pP and pE immediately.  It will only
affect pP' and pE' after subsequent exec()s.  It also does not affect pI,
and exec() does not constrain pI'.  So to really start a shell with no way
of regain CAP_MKNOD, you would do

	prctl(PR_CAPBSET_DROP, CAP_MKNOD);
	cap_t cap = cap_get_proc();
	cap_value_t caparray[1];
	caparray[0] = CAP_MKNOD;
	cap_set_flag(cap, CAP_INHERITABLE, 1, caparray, CAP_DROP);
	cap_set_proc(cap);
	cap_free(cap);

The following test program will get and set the bounding
set (but not pI).  For instance

	./bset get
		(lists capabilities in bset)
	./bset drop cap_net_raw
		(starts shell with new bset)
		(use capset, setuid binary, or binary with
		file capabilities to try to increase caps)

(with Martin Schwidefsky &lt;schwidefsky@de.ibm.com&gt;)

The pgd/pud/pmd/pte page table allocation functions get a mm_struct pointer as
first argument.  The free functions do not get the mm_struct argument.  This
is 1) asymmetrical and 2) to do mm related page table allocations the mm
argument is needed on the free function as well.

<title>clone: prepare to recycle CLONE_STOPPED</title>

Ulrich says that we never used this clone flags and that nothing should be
using it.

As we're down to only a single bit left in clone's flags argument, let's add a
warning to check that no userspace is actually using it.  Hopefully we will
be able to recycle it.

  CLONE_STOPPED was previously used by some NTPL versions when under
  thread_db (i.e.  only when being actively debugged by gdb), but not for a
  long time now, and it never worked reliably when it was used.  Removing it
  seems fine to me.
