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...

new function: file_open_root(dentry, mnt, name, flags) opens the file
vfs_path_lookup would arrive to.

Note that name can be empty; in that case the usual requirement that
dentry should be a directory is lifted.

open-coded equivalents switched to it, may_open() got down exactly
one caller and became static.

New lookup flag: LOOKUP_ROOT.  nd->root is set (and held) by caller,
path_init() starts walking from that place and all pathname resolution
machinery never drops nd->root if that flag is set.  That turns
vfs_path_lookup() into a special case of do_path_lookup() *and*
gets us down to 3 callers of link_path_walk(), making it finally
feasible to rip the handling of trailing symlink out of link_path_walk().
That will not only simply the living hell out of it, but make life
much simpler for unionfs merge.  Trailing symlink handling will
become iterative, which is a good thing for stack footprint in
a lot of situations as well.

That thing has devolved into rats nest of gotos; sane use of unlikely()
gets rid of that horror and gives much more readable structure:
	* make a fast attempt to find a dentry; false negatives are OK.
In RCU mode if everything went fine, we are done, otherwise just drop
out of RCU.  If we'd done (RCU) ->d_revalidate() and it had not refused
outright (i.e. didn't give us -ECHILD), remember its result.
	* now we are not in RCU mode and hopefully have a dentry.  If we
do not, lock parent, do full d_lookup() and if that has not found anything,
allocate and call ->lookup().  If we'd done that ->lookup(), remember that
dentry is good and we don't need to revalidate it.
	* now we have a dentry.  If it has ->d_revalidate() and we can't
skip it, call it.
	* hopefully dentry is good; if not, either fail (in case of error)
or try to invalidate it.  If d_invalidate() has succeeded, drop it and
retry everything as if original attempt had not found a dentry.
	* now we can finish it up - deal with mountpoint crossing and
automount.

There used to be time when ->d_revalidate() couldn't return an error.
So intents code had lookup_instantiate_filp() stash ERR_PTR(error)
in nd->intent.open.filp and had it checked after lookup_hash(), to
catch the otherwise silent failures.  That had been introduced by
commit 4af4c52f.  These days
->d_revalidate() can and does propagate errors back to callers
explicitly, so this check isn't needed anymore.

only one caller left
Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Instead of path_lookupat() doing trailing symlink resolution,
use the same scheme as on the O_CREAT side.  Walk with
LOOKUP_PARENT, then (in do_last()) look the final component
up, then either open it or return error or, if it's a symlink,
give the symlink back to path_openat() to be resolved there.

The really messy complication here is RCU.  We don't want to drop
out of RCU mode before the final lookup, since we don't want to
bounce parent directory ->d_count without a good reason.

Result is _not_ pretty; later in the series we'll clean it up.
For now we are roughly back where we'd been before the revert
done by Nick's series - top-level logics of path_openat() is
cleaned up, do_last() does actual opening, symlink resolution is
done uniformly.

New helper: terminate_walk().  An error has happened during pathname
resolution and we either drop nd->path or terminate RCU, depending
the mode we had been in.  After that, nd is essentially empty.
Switch link_path_walk() to using that for cleanup.

Now the top-level logics in link_path_walk() is back to sanity.  RCU
dependencies are in the lower-level functions.

take calculation of open_flags by open(2) arguments into new helper
in fs/open.c, move filp_open() over there, have it and do_sys_open()
use that helper, switch exec.c callers of do_filp_open() to explicit
(and constant) struct open_flags.

No point messing with passing shitloads of "operation mode" arguments
to do_open() one by one, especially since they are not going to change
during do_filp_open().  Collect them into a struct, fill it and pass
to do_last() by reference.

Make sure that lookup intent flags are correctly set and removed - we
want them for do_last(), but they make no sense for __do_follow_link().

instead of ad-hackery around need_reval_dot(), do the following:
set a flag (LOOKUP_JUMPED) in the beginning of path, on absolute
symlink traversal, on ".." and on procfs-style symlinks.  Clear on
normal components, leave unchanged on ".".  Non-nested callers of
link_path_walk() call handle_reval_path(), which checks that flag
is set and that fs does want the final revalidate thing, then does
->d_revalidate().  In link_path_walk() all the return_reval stuff
is gone.

Actual dependency on whether we want RCU or not is in 3 small areas
(as it ought to be) and everything around those is the same in both
versions.  Since each function has only one caller and those callers
are on two sides of if (flags & LOOKUP_RCU), it's easier and cleaner
to merge them and pull the checks inside.

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
