sys_mount() reads/copies a whole page for its "type" parameter.  When
do_mount_root() passes a kernel address that points to an object which is
smaller than a whole page, copy_mount_options() will happily go past this
memory object, possibly dereferencing "wild" pointers that could be in any
state (hence the kmemcheck warning, which shows that parts of the next
page are not even allocated).

(The likelihood of something going wrong here is pretty low -- first of
all this only applies to kernel calls to sys_mount(), which are mostly
found in the boot code.  Secondly, I guess if the page was not mapped,
exact_copy_from_user() _would_ in fact handle it correctly because of its
access_ok(), etc.  checks.)

But it is much nicer to avoid the dubious reads altogether, by stopping as
soon as we find a NUL byte.  Is there a good reason why we can't do
something like this, using the already existing strndup_from_user()?

Currently we held s_umount while a filesystem is frozen, despite that we
might return to userspace and unlock it from a different process.  Instead
grab an active reference to keep the file system busy and add an explicit
check for frozen filesystems in remount and reject the remount instead
of blocking on s_umount.

Add a new get_active_super helper to super.c for use by freeze_bdev that
grabs an active reference to a superblock from a given block device.

Now that we have the freeze count there is not much reason for bd_mount_sem
anymore.  The actual freeze/thaw operations are serialized using the
bd_fsfreeze_mutex, and the only other place we take bd_mount_sem is
get_sb_bdev which tries to prevent mounting a filesystem while the block
device is frozen.  Instead of add a check for bd_fsfreeze_count and
return -EBUSY if a filesystem is frozen.  While that is a change in user
visible behaviour a failing mount is much better for this case rather
than having the mount process stuck uninterruptible for a long time.

the two places inside exofs that where taking the BKL were:
exofs_put_super() - .put_super
and
exofs_sync_fs() - which is .sync_fs and is also called from
                  .write_super.

Now exofs_sync_fs() is protected from itself by also taking
the sb_lock.

exofs_put_super() directly calls exofs_sync_fs() so there is no
danger between these two either.

In anyway there is absolutely nothing dangerous been done
inside exofs_sync_fs().

Unless there is some subtle race with the actual lifetime of
the super_block in regard to .put_super and some other parts
of the VFS. Which is highly unlikely.

sb->s_maxbytes is supposed to indicate the maximum size of a file that can
exist on the filesystem.  It's declared as an unsigned long long.

Even if a filesystem has no inherent limit that prevents it from using
every bit in that unsigned long long, it's still problematic to set it to
anything larger than MAX_LFS_FILESIZE.  There are places in the kernel
that cast s_maxbytes to a signed value.  If it's set too large then this
cast makes it a negative number and generally breaks the comparison.

Change s_maxbytes to be loff_t instead.  That should help eliminate the
temptation to set it too large by making it a signed value.

Also, add a warning for couple of releases to help catch filesystems that
set s_maxbytes too large.  Eventually we can either convert this to a
BUG() or just remove it and in the hope that no one will get it wrong now
that it's a signed value.

If fiemap_check_ranges is passed a large enough value, then it's
possible that the value would be cast to a signed value for comparison
against s_maxbytes when we change it to loff_t. Make sure that doesn't
happen by explicitly casting s_maxbytes to an unsigned value for the
purposes of comparison.

Do a similar optimization as earlier for touch_atime.  Getting the lock in
mnt_get_write is relatively costly, so try all avenues to avoid it first.

This patch is careful to still only update inode fields inside the lock
region.

This didn't show up in benchmarks, but it's easy enough to do.

Some benchmark testing shows touch_atime to be high up in profile logs for
IO intensive workloads.  Most likely that's due to the lock in
mnt_want_write().  Unfortunately touch_atime first takes the lock, and
then does all the other tests that could avoid atime updates (like noatime
or relatime).

Do it the other way round -- first try to avoid the update and only then
if that didn't succeed take the lock.  That works because none of the
atime avoidance tests rely on locking.

This also eliminates a goto.

Impact: have simple_read_from_buffer conform to standards

It was brought to my attention by Andrew Morton, Theodore Tso, and H.
Peter Anvin that a read from userspace should only return -EFAULT if
nothing was actually read.

Looking at the simple_read_from_buffer I noticed that this function does
not conform to that rule.  This patch fixes that function.

This reverts commit c02e3f36 ("kmod: fix race in usermodehelper code")

The patch is wrong.  UMH_WAIT_EXEC is called with VFORK what ensures
that the child finishes prior returing back to the parent.  No race.

In fact, the patch makes it even worse because it does the thing it
claims not do:

 - It calls ->complete() on UMH_WAIT_EXEC

 - the complete() callback may de-allocated subinfo as seen in the
   following call chain:

    [<c009f904>] (__link_path_walk+0x20/0xeb4) from [<c00a094c>] (path_walk+0x48/0x94)
    [<c00a094c>] (path_walk+0x48/0x94) from [<c00a0a34>] (do_path_lookup+0x24/0x4c)
    [<c00a0a34>] (do_path_lookup+0x24/0x4c) from [<c00a158c>] (do_filp_open+0xa4/0x83c)
    [<c00a158c>] (do_filp_open+0xa4/0x83c) from [<c009ba90>] (open_exec+0x24/0xe0)
    [<c009ba90>] (open_exec+0x24/0xe0) from [<c009bfa8>] (do_execve+0x7c/0x2e4)
    [<c009bfa8>] (do_execve+0x7c/0x2e4) from [<c0026a80>] (kernel_execve+0x34/0x80)
    [<c0026a80>] (kernel_execve+0x34/0x80) from [<c004b514>] (____call_usermodehelper+0x130/0x148)
    [<c004b514>] (____call_usermodehelper+0x130/0x148) from [<c0024858>] (kernel_thread_exit+0x0/0x8)

   and the path pointer was NULL.  Good that ARM's kernel_execve()
   doesn't check the pointer for NULL or else I wouldn't notice it.

The only race there might be is with UMH_NO_WAIT but it is too late for
me to investigate it now.  UMH_WAIT_PROC could probably also use VFORK
and we could save one exec.  So the only race I see is with UMH_NO_WAIT
and recent scheduler changes where the child does not always run first
might have trigger here something but as I said, it is late....
