d100d148aa nommu: fix ksize() abuse
The nommu binfmt code uses ksize() for pointers returned from do_mmap()
which is wrong.  This converts the call-sites to use the nommu specific
kobjsize() function which works as expected.

925d1c401f procfs task exe symlink
The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from
the first executable VMA.  Then the path to the file is reconstructed and
reported as the result.

Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems.
This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems.  Instead of
walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a
reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct.

That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file
from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs.  So we track the number
of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is
unmapped.  This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem.

3202e1811f make BINFMT_FLAT a bool
I have not yet seen anyone saying he has a reasonable use case for using
BINFMT_FLAT modular on his embedded device.

Considering that fs/binfmt_flat.c even lacks a MODULE_LICENSE() I really doubt
there is any, and this patch therefore makes BINFMT_FLAT a bool.

e2a366dc5c FLAT binaries: drop BINFMT_FLAT bad header magic warning
The warning issued by fs/binfmt_flat.c when the format handler is given a
non-FLAT and non-script executable is annoying to say the least when working
with FDPIC ELF objects.  If you build a kernel that supports both FLAT and
FDPIC ELFs on no-mmu, every time you execute an FDPIC ELF, the kernel spits
out this message.  While I understand a lot of newcomers to the no-mmu world
screw up generation of FLAT binaries, this warning is not usable for systems
that support more than just FLAT.

7dc0b22e3c core_pattern: ignore RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe
For some time /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been able to set its output
destination as a pipe, allowing a user space helper to receive and
intellegently process a core.  This infrastructure however has some
shortcommings which can be enhanced.  Specifically:

1) The coredump code in the kernel should ignore RLIMIT_CORE limitation
   when core_pattern is a pipe, since file system resources are not being
   consumed in this case, unless the user application wishes to save the core,
   at which point the app is restricted by usual file system limits and
   restrictions.

2) The core_pattern code should be able to parse and pass options to the
   user space helper as an argv array.  The real core limit of the uid of the
   crashing proces should also be passable to the user space helper (since it
   is overridden to zero when called).

3) Some miscellaneous bugs need to be cleaned up (specifically the
   recognition of a recursive core dump, should the user mode helper itself
   crash.  Also, the core dump code in the kernel should not wait for the user
   mode helper to exit, since the same context is responsible for writing to
   the pipe, and a read of the pipe by the user mode helper will result in a
   deadlock.

This patch:

Remove the check of RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe.  In the event that
core_pattern is a pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.

f9720205d1 Binfmt_flat: Add minimum support for the Blackfin relocations
Add minimum support for the Blackfin relocations, since we don't have
enough space in each reloc.  The idea is to store a value with one
relocation so that subsequent ones can access it.

Actually, this patch is required for Blackfin.  Currently if BINFMT_FLAT is
enabled, git-tree kernel will fail to compile.

72613e5f44 [PATCH] uclinux: correctly remap bin_fmtflat exe allocated mem regions
remap() the region we get from mmap() to mark the fact that we are
using all of the available slack space. Any slack space is used
to form a simple brk region, and potentially more stack space than
requested at load time.

Any searches of the vma chain may well fail looking for
stack (and especially arg) addresses if the remaping is not done.
The simplest example is /proc/<pid>/cmdline, since the args
are pretty much always at the top of the data/bss/stack region.

This patch changes struct file to use struct path instead of having
independent pointers to struct dentry and struct vfsmount, and converts all
users of f_{dentry,vfsmnt} in fs/ to use f_path.{dentry,mnt}.

Additionally, it adds two #define's to make the transition easier for users of
the f_dentry and f_vfsmnt.

binfmt_flat.c calls set_personality with PER_LINUX as the personality.

df88912a21 [PATCH] binfmt_flat: don't check for EMFILE
Bernd Schmidt points out that binfmt_flat is now leaving the exec file open
while the application runs.  This offsets all the application's fd numbers.
We should have closed the file within exec(), not at exit()-time.

But there doesn't seem to be a lot of point in doing all this just to avoid
going over RLIMIT_NOFILE by one fd for a few microseconds.  So take the EMFILE
checking out again.  This will cause binfmt_flat to again fail LTP's
exec-should-return-EMFILE-when-fdtable-is-full test.  That test appears to be
wrong anyway - Open Group specs say nothing about exec() returning EMFILE.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
