With SLUB debugging turned on in 2.6.26, I was getting memory corruption
when testing eCryptfs.  The root cause turned out to be that eCryptfs was
doing kmalloc(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); virt_to_page() and treating that as a nice
page-aligned chunk of memory.  But at least with SLUB debugging on, this
is not always true, and the page we get from virt_to_page does not
necessarily match the PAGE_CACHE_SIZE worth of memory we got from kmalloc.

My simple testcase was 2 loops doing "rm -f fileX; cp /tmp/fileX ." for 2
different multi-megabyte files.  With this change I no longer see the
corruption.

When we read some part of a file through pagecache, if there is a
pagecache of corresponding index but this page is not uptodate, read IO
is issued and this page will be uptodate.

I think this is good for pagesize == blocksize environment but there is
room for improvement on pagesize != blocksize environment.  Because in
this case a page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not
uptodate, some buffers can be uptodate.

So I suggest that when all buffers which correspond to a part of a file
that we want to read are uptodate, use this pagecache and copy data from
this pagecache to user buffer even if a page is not uptodate.  This can
reduce read IO and improve system throughput.

I wrote a benchmark program and got result number with this program.

This benchmark do:

  1: mount and open a test file.

  2: create a 512MB file.

  3: close a file and umount.

  4: mount and again open a test file.

  5: pwrite randomly 300000 times on a test file.  offset is aligned
     by IO size(1024bytes).

  6: measure time of preading randomly 100000 times on a test file.

The result was:
	2.6.26
        330 sec

	2.6.26-patched
        226 sec

Arch:i386
Filesystem:ext3
Blocksize:1024 bytes
Memory: 1GB

On ext3/4, a file is written through buffer/block.  So random read/write
mixed workloads or random read after random write workloads are optimized
with this patch under pagesize != blocksize environment.  This test result
showed this.

The benchmark program is as follows:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/mount.h>

#define LEN 1024
#define LOOP 1024*512 /* 512MB */

main(void)
{
	unsigned long i, offset, filesize;
	int fd;
	char buf[LEN];
	time_t t1, t2;

	if (mount("/dev/sda1", "/root/test1/", "ext3", 0, 0) < 0) {
		perror("cannot mount\n");
		exit(1);
	}
	memset(buf, 0, LEN);
	fd = open("/root/test1/testfile", O_CREAT|O_RDWR|O_TRUNC);
	if (fd < 0) {
		perror("cannot open file\n");
		exit(1);
	}
	for (i = 0; i < LOOP; i++)
		write(fd, buf, LEN);
	close(fd);
	if (umount("/root/test1/") < 0) {
		perror("cannot umount\n");
		exit(1);
	}
	if (mount("/dev/sda1", "/root/test1/", "ext3", 0, 0) < 0) {
		perror("cannot mount\n");
		exit(1);
	}
	fd = open("/root/test1/testfile", O_RDWR);
	if (fd < 0) {

	}

	filesize = LEN * LOOP;

This adds initial support for ELF FDPIC on MMU-less SH, as per version
0.2 of the ABI definition at:

	http://www.codesourcery.com/public/docs/sh-fdpic/sh-fdpic-abi.txtSigned-off-by: NPaul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

While implementing binfmt_elf_fdpic on SH it quickly became apparent
that SH was the first platform to support both binfmt_elf_fdpic and
binfmt_elf, as well as the only of the FDPIC platforms to make use of the
auxvt.

Currently binfmt_elf_fdpic uses a special version of NEW_AUX_ENT() where
the first argument is the entry displacement after csp has been adjusted,
being reset after each adjustment. As we have no ability to sort this out
through the platform's ARCH_DLINFO, this index needs to be managed
entirely in create_elf_fdpic_tables(). Presently none of the platforms
that set their own auxvt entries are able to do so through their
respective ARCH_DLINFOs when using binfmt_elf_fdpic.

In addition to this, binfmt_elf_fdpic has been looking at
DLINFO_ARCH_ITEMS for the number of architecture-specific entries in the
auxvt. This is legacy cruft, and is not defined by any platforms in-tree,
even those that make heavy use of the auxvt. AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH is
always available, and contains the number that is of interest here, so we
switch to using that unconditionally as well.

As this has direct bearing on how much stack is used, platforms that have
configurable (or dynamically adjustable) NEW_AUX_ENT calls need to either
make AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH more fine-grained, or leave it as a worst-case
and live with some lost stack space if those entries aren't pushed (some
platforms may also need to purposely sacrifice some space here for
alignment considerations, as noted in the code -- although not an issue
for any FDPIC-capable platform today).

Al Viro notice one cornercase that the new dup3() code.  The dup2()
function, as a special case, handles dup-ing to the same file
descriptor.  In this case the current dup3() code does nothing at
all.  I.e., it ingnores the flags parameter.  This shouldn't happen,
the close-on-exec flag should be set if requested.

In case the O_CLOEXEC bit in the flags parameter is not set the
dup3() function should behave in this respect identical to dup2().
This means dup3(fd, fd, 0) should not actively reset the c-o-e
flag.

The patch below implements this minor change.

in dup2() behaviour]

* do not pass nameidata; struct path is all the callers want.
* switch to new helpers:
	user_path_at(dfd, pathname, flags, &path)
	user_path(pathname, &path)
	user_lpath(pathname, &path)
	user_path_dir(pathname, &path)  (fail if not a directory)
  The last 3 are trivial macro wrappers for the first one.
* remove nameidata in callers.

Almost all users __user_walk_fd() and friends care only about struct path.
Get rid of the few that do not.

Still looks rather messy.  See below for a better version.

Move the immutable and append-only checks from chmod, chown and utimes
into notify_change().  Checks for immutable and append-only files are
always performed by the VFS and not by the filesystem (see
permission() and may_...() in namei.c), so these belong in
notify_change(), and not in inode_change_ok().

This should be completely equivalent.

The FAT_IOCTL_SET_ATTRIBUTES ioctl() calls notify_change() to change
the file mode before changing the inode attributes.  Replace with
explicit calls to security_inode_setattr(), fat_setattr() and
fsnotify_change().

This is equivalent to the original.  The reason it is needed, is that
later in the series we move the immutable check into notify_change().
That would break the FAT_IOCTL_SET_ATTRIBUTES ioctl, as it needs to
perform the mode change regardless of the immutability of the file.

[Fix error if fat is built as a module.  Thanks to OGAWA Hirofumi for
noticing.]

Add a new ia_valid flag: ATTR_TIMES_SET, to handle the
UTIMES_OMIT/UTIMES_NOW and UTIMES_NOW/UTIMES_OMIT cases.  In these
cases neither ATTR_MTIME_SET nor ATTR_ATIME_SET is in the flags, yet
the POSIX draft specifies that permission checking is performed the
same way as if one or both of the times was explicitly set to a
timestamp.

See the path "vfs: utimensat(): fix error checking for
{UTIME_NOW,UTIME_OMIT} case" by Michael Kerrisk for the patch
introducing this behavior.

This is a cleanup, as well as allowing filesystems (NFS/fuse/...) to
perform their own permission checking instead of the default.

* MAY_CHDIR is redundant - it's an equivalent of MAY_ACCESS
* MAY_ACCESS on fuse should affect only the last step of pathname resolution
* fchdir() and chroot() should pass MAY_ACCESS, for the same reason why
  chdir() needs that.
* now that we pass MAY_ACCESS explicitly in all cases, LOOKUP_ACCESS can be
  removed; it has no business being in nameidata.

All calls to remove_suid() are made with a file pointer, because
(similarly to file_update_time) it is called when the file is written.

Clean up callers by passing in a file instead of a dentry.
