This change converts the existing mmap_sem rwsem calls to use the new mmap
locking API instead.

The change is generated using coccinelle with the following rule:

// spatch --sp-file mmap_lock_api.cocci --in-place --include-headers --dir .

Pull thread updates from Christian Brauner:
 "We have been discussing using pidfds to attach to namespaces for quite
  a while and the patches have in one form or another already existed
  for about a year. But I wanted to wait to see how the general api
  would be received and adopted.

  This contains the changes to make it possible to use pidfds to attach
  to the namespaces of a process, i.e. they can be passed as the first
  argument to the setns() syscall.

  When only a single namespace type is specified the semantics are
  equivalent to passing an nsfd. That means setns(nsfd, CLONE_NEWNET)
  equals setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWNET).

  However, when a pidfd is passed, multiple namespace flags can be
  specified in the second setns() argument and setns() will attach the
  caller to all the specified namespaces all at once or to none of them.

  Specifying 0 is not valid together with a pidfd. Here are just two
  obvious examples:

    setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWPID | CLONE_NEWNS | CLONE_NEWNET);
    setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWUSER);

  Allowing to also attach subsets of namespaces supports various
  use-cases where callers setns to a subset of namespaces to retain
  privilege, perform an action and then re-attach another subset of
  namespaces.

  Apart from significantly reducing the number of syscalls needed to
  attach to all currently supported namespaces (eight "open+setns"
  sequences vs just a single "setns()"), this also allows atomic setns
  to a set of namespaces, i.e. either attaching to all namespaces
  succeeds or we fail without having changed anything.

  This is centered around a new internal struct nsset which holds all
  information necessary for a task to switch to a new set of namespaces
  atomically. Fwiw, with this change a pidfd becomes the only token
  needed to interact with a container. I'm expecting this to be
  picked-up by util-linux for nsenter rather soon.

  Associated with this change is a shiny new test-suite dedicated to
  setns() (for pidfds and nsfds alike)"

Whenever an IPC item with a low id is deleted, the items with higher ids
are duplicated, as if filling a hole.

new_pos should jump through hole of unused ids, pos can be updated

<id>urn:sha1:f2a8d52e0a4db968c346c4332630a71cba377567</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a simple struct nsset. It holds all necessary pieces to switch to a new
set of namespaces without leaving a task in a half-switched state which we
will make use of in the next patch. This patch switches the existing setns
logic over without causing a change in setns() behavior. This brings
setns() closer to how unshare() works(). The prepare_ns() function is
responsible to prepare all necessary information. This has two reasons.
First it minimizes dependencies between individual namespaces, i.e. all
install handler can expect that all fields are properly initialized
independent in what order they are called in. Second, this makes the code
easier to maintain and easier to follow if it needs to be changed.

The prepare_ns() helper will only be switched over to use a flags argument
in the next patch. Here it will still use nstype as a simple integer
argument which was argued would be clearer. I'm not particularly
opinionated about this if it really helps or not. The struct nsset itself
already contains the flags field since its name already indicates that it
can contain information required by different namespaces. None of this
should have functional consequences.

Commit cc731525f26a ("signal: Remove kernel interal si_code magic")
changed the value of SI_FROMUSER(SI_MESGQ), this means that mq_notify() no
longer works if the sender doesn't have rights to send a signal.

Change __do_notify() to use do_send_sig_info() instead of kill_pid_info()
to avoid check_kill_permission().

This needs the additional notify.sigev_signo != 0 check, shouldn't we
change do_mq_notify() to deny sigev_signo == 0 ?

Test-case:

	#include &lt;signal.h&gt;
	#include &lt;mqueue.h&gt;
	#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/wait.h&gt;
	#include &lt;assert.h&gt;

	static int notified;

	static void sigh(int sig)
	{
		notified = 1;
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		signal(SIGIO, sigh);

		int fd = mq_open("/mq", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0666, NULL);
		assert(fd &gt;= 0);

		struct sigevent se = {
			.sigev_notify	= SIGEV_SIGNAL,
			.sigev_signo	= SIGIO,
		};
		assert(mq_notify(fd, &amp;se) == 0);

		if (!fork()) {
			assert(setuid(1) == 0);
			mq_send(fd, "",1,0);
			return 0;
		}

		wait(NULL);
		mq_unlink("/mq");
		assert(notified);
		return 0;
	}

[manfred@colorfullife.com: 1) Add self_exec_id evaluation so that the implementation matches do_notify_parent 2) use PIDTYPE_TGID everywhere]

Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which
is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and
from  userspace in common code.  This also means that the strings are
always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.

As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.
