[PATCH] Keys: Add possessor permissions to keys [try #3]

The attached patch adds extra permission grants to keys for the possessor of a
key in addition to the owner, group and other permissions bits. This makes
SUID binaries easier to support without going as far as labelling keys and key
targets using the LSM facilities.

This patch adds a second "pointer type" to key structures (struct key_ref *)
that can have the bottom bit of the address set to indicate the possession of
a key. This is propagated through searches from the keyring to the discovered
key. It has been made a separate type so that the compiler can spot attempts
to dereference a potentially incorrect pointer.

The "possession" attribute can't be attached to a key structure directly as
it's not an intrinsic property of a key.

Pointers to keys have been replaced with struct key_ref *'s wherever
possession information needs to be passed through.

This does assume that the bottom bit of the pointer will always be zero on
return from kmem_cache_alloc().

The key reference type has been made into a typedef so that at least it can be
located in the sources, even though it's basically a pointer to an undefined
type. I've also renamed the accessor functions to be more useful, and all
reference variables should now end in "_ref".

[PATCH] mm: move_pte to remap ZERO_PAGE

Move the ZERO_PAGE remapping complexity to the move_pte macro in
asm-generic, have it conditionally depend on
__HAVE_ARCH_MULTIPLE_ZERO_PAGE, which gets defined for MIPS.

For architectures without __HAVE_ARCH_MULTIPLE_ZERO_PAGE, move_pte becomes
a noop.

From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>

Fix nasty little bug we've missed in Nick's mremap move ZERO_PAGE patch.
The "pte" at that point may be a swap entry or a pte_file entry: we must
check pte_present before perhaps corrupting such an entry.

Patch below against 2.6.14-rc2-mm1, but the same bug is in 2.6.14-rc2's
mm/mremap.c, and more dangerous there since it's affecting all arches: I
think the safest course is to send Nick's patch and Yoichi's build fix and
this fix (build tested) on to Linus - so only MIPS can be affected.

[PATCH] missing dependency on arm O= builds

arm maketools needs include/asm-arm in place in the build tree.
On normal builds it's always there, of course, but on O= it's created
(by generic code) too late - when we get to asm-offset.h.

We used to get away with that by accident - creation of
include/asm-arm/arch symlink creates include/asm-arm and it happened
to go before maketools.  However, we did not have such dependency,
so that luck didn't last - now maketools is picked first and we are screwed.

Both the symlink and maketools are prerequisites of the same
target (archprepare).  This fix is obvious - make the latter explicitly
depend on the former and be done with that.

[NETFILTER]: Fix invalid module autoloading by splitting iptable_nat

When you've enabled conntrack and NAT as a module (standard case in all
distributions), and you've also enabled the new conntrack netlink
interface, loading ip_conntrack_netlink.ko will auto-load iptable_nat.ko.
This causes a huge performance penalty, since for every packet you iterate
the nat code, even if you don't want it.

This patch splits iptable_nat.ko into the NAT core (ip_nat.ko) and the
iptables frontend (iptable_nat.ko).  Threfore, ip_conntrack_netlink.ko will
only pull ip_nat.ko, but not the frontend.  ip_nat.ko will "only" allocate
some resources, but not affect runtime performance.

This separation is also a nice step in anticipation of new packet filters
(nf-hipac, ipset, pkttables) being able to use the NAT core.
