Allow auto-destruction of loop devices
This allows a flag to be set on loop devices so that when they are
closed for the last time, they'll self-destruct.
In general, so that we can automatically allocate loop devices (as with
losetup -f) and have them disappear when we're done with them.
In particular, right now, so that we can stop relying on the hackish
special-case in umount(8) which kills off loop devices which were set up by
'mount -oloop'. That means we can stop putting crap in /etc/mtab which
doesn't belong there, which means it can be a symlink to /proc/mounts, which
means yet another writable file on the root filesystem is eliminated and the
'stateless' folks get happier... and OLPC trac #356 can be closed.
The mount(8) side of that is at

remove support for un-needed _extratext section
When passing a zero address to kallsyms_lookup(), the kernel thought it was
a valid kernel address, even if it is not. This is because is_ksym_addr()
called is_kernel_extratext() and checked against labels that don't exist on
many archs (which default as zero). Since PPC was the only kernel which
defines _extra_text, (in 2005), and no longer needs it, this patch removes
_extra_text support.

IPC: fix error check in all new xxx_lock() and xxx_exit_ns() functions
In the new implementation of the [sem|shm|msg]_lock[_check]() routines, we
use the return value of ipc_lock() in container_of() without any check.
But ipc_lock may return a errcode. The use of this errcode in
container_of() may alter this errcode, and we don't want this.
And in xxx_exit_ns, the pointer return by idr_find is of type 'struct
kern_ipc_per'...
Today, the code will work as is because the member used in these
container_of() is the first member of its container (offset == 0), the
errcode isn't changed then. But in the general case, we can't count on
this assumption and this may lead later to a real bug if we don't correct
this.
Again, the proposed solution is simple and correct. But, as pointed by
Nadia, with this solution, the same check will be done several times (in
all sub-callers...), what is not very funny/optimal...

fs/fat/: refine chmod checks
Prohibit mode changes in non-quiet mode that cannot be stored reliably with
the on-disk format.
Suppose a vfat filesystem is mounted with umask=0 and [not-quiet]. Then
all files will have mode 0777. Trying to change the owner will fail,
because fat does not know about owners or groups. chmod 0770, on the other
hand, will succeed, even though fat does not know about the permission
triplet [user/group/other].
So this patch changes fat's not-quiet behavior so that only UNIX modes are
accepted that can be mapped lossless between the fat disk format and the
local system. There is only one attribute, and that is the readonly
attribute, which is mapped to the UNIX write permission bit(s). chmod 0555
is therefore valid (taking away the +w bits <=> setting the readonly
attribute). Since chmod 0775 and chmod 0755 is an ambiguous case as to
whether to set or clear the readonly bit, these modes are also denied.
In quiet mode, chmod and chown will continue to "succeed" as they did
before, meaning that a subsequent stat() will temporarily return the new
mode as long as the inode is not reread from disk, and chown will silently
do nothing, not even return the new uid/gid in stat().

This patch takes care of a problem with the stopping code.
The function inside the while condition returns 0 to signify a problem. A
problem could be for example a bad command or a bad version of the mconsole
client. A bad command would terminate the stopping loop and resume the
kernel. This is a problem.
A better solution is to make the loop infinite and don't leave it until we are
explicitly told to.

uml: clean up sig_handler_common_skas
sig_handler_common_skas needs significant modernization, starting with
its name and storage class.
There is no need to hide the true type of the sigcontext pointer, so
the void * dummy parameter can be replaced with a sigcontext *sc.
The array of uml_pt_regs structs used in the page fault case are gone,
replaced by a local variable. This is also used in the non-segfault
case instead of the copy in the task_struct. Since it's local, the
special handling of the is_user flag can go away.
There hasn't been any special treatment of SIGUSR1 in ages, so the
line that enables it can be deleted.
The special treatment of SIGSEGV similarly goes away, but to
compensate, SA_NODEFER is added to sa_mask when registering a signal
handler.

setjmp_wrapper and given a va_list from which it must extract its arguments.
