22b174f8b7 MAINTAINERS: Saying goodbye to David Brownell
We had to say goodbye when David passed away recently.  David had a
huge impact on our community, both personally in the lives of the
people he worked with, and technically in the design and maintenance
of several subsystems.  He is greatly missed.

He also leaves behind a number of much loved subsystems now orphaned.
This patch updates the MAINTAINERS file for the areas that David was
responsible for and adds an entry for him to the CREDITS file.

52653199d7 MAINTAINERS: update matroxfb & ncpfs status
I moved couple years ago, so let's update my email and snail mail.

And I do not have any access to Matrox hardware anymore, and I'm quite
unresponsive to matroxfb bug reports (sorry Alan), so saying that I'm
maintainer is a bit far fetched.

For ncpfs I do not use ncpfs in my daily life either, but at least I can
test that one, so I can stay listed here for odd fixes.

I think these were cp437, and it should read 'Björn'.

Also note that Arnaldo just put more legacy noise into CREDITS...

5096add84b proc: maps protection
The /proc/pid/ "maps", "smaps", and "numa_maps" files contain sensitive
information about the memory location and usage of processes.  Issues:

- maps should not be world-readable, especially if programs expect any
  kind of ASLR protection from local attackers.
- maps cannot just be 0400 because "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2" makes glibc
  check the maps when %n is in a *printf call, and a setuid(getuid())
  process wouldn't be able to read its own maps file.  (For reference
  see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/22/150)
- a system-wide toggle is needed to allow prior behavior in the case of
  non-root applications that depend on access to the maps contents.

This change implements a check using "ptrace_may_attach" before allowing
access to read the maps contents.  To control this protection, the new knob
/proc/sys/kernel/maps_protect has been added, with corresponding updates to
the procfs documentation.
