fs: pass the request_mask to generic_fillattr

generic_fillattr just fills in the entire stat struct indiscriminately
today, copying data from the inode. There is at least one attribute
(STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE) that can have side effects when it is reported,
and we're looking at adding more with the addition of multigrain
timestamps.

Add a request_mask argument to generic_fillattr and have most callers
just pass in the value that is passed to getattr. Have other callers
(e.g. ksmbd) just pass in STATX_BASIC_STATS. Also move the setting of
STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE into generic_fillattr.

The same would probably also be true for other attributes to be changed.

As this technically represents an ABI change it is not marked for
stable so any unlikely regressions are caught during a full release cycle.

fs: port ->getattr() to pass mnt_idmap

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

proc: fix dentry/inode overinstantiating under /proc/${pid}/net

When a process exits, /proc/${pid}, and /proc/${pid}/net dentries are
flushed. However some leaf dentries like /proc/${pid}/net/arp_cache
aren't. That's because respective PDEs have proc_misc_d_revalidate() hook
which returns 1 and leaves dentries/inodes in the LRU.

Force revalidation/lookup on everything under /proc/${pid}/net by
inheriting proc_net_dentry_ops.

fs: make helpers idmap mount aware

Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.

As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

stat: handle idmapped mounts

The generic_fillattr() helper fills in the basic attributes associated
with an inode. Enable it to handle idmapped mounts. If the inode is
accessed through an idmapped mount map it into the mount's user
namespace before we store the uid and gid. If the initial user namespace
is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical
behavior as before.

proc: fix lookup in /proc/net subdirectories after setns(2)

Commit 1fde6f21d90f ("proc: fix /proc/net/* after setns(2)") only forced
revalidation of regular files under /proc/net/

However, /proc/net/ is unusual in the sense of /proc/net/foo handlers
take netns pointer from parent directory which is old netns.

Steps to reproduce:

(void)open("/proc/net/sctp/snmp", O_RDONLY);
unshare(CLONE_NEWNET);

int fd = open("/proc/net/sctp/snmp", O_RDONLY);
read(fd, &c, 1);

Read will read wrong data from original netns.

Patch forces lookup on every directory under /proc/net .

This patch added netlink and ipv6_route targets, using
the same seq_ops (except show() and minor changes for stop())
for /proc/net/{netlink,ipv6_route}.

The net namespace for these targets are the current net
namespace at file open stage, similar to
/proc/net/{netlink,ipv6_route} reference counting
the net namespace at seq_file open stage.

Since module is not supported for now, ipv6_route is
supported only if the IPV6 is built-in, i.e., not compiled
as a module. The restriction can be lifted once module
is properly supported for bpf_iter.

however, VFS doesn't directly call them. Every time VFS expands
file_operations hook set, /proc code bloats for no reason.

Introduce "struct proc_ops" which contains only those hooks which /proc
allows to call into (open, release, read, write, ioctl, mmap, poll). It
doesn't contain module pointer as well.

proc: Add a way to make network proc files writable

Provide two extra functions, proc_create_net_data_write() and
proc_create_net_single_write() that act like their non-write versions but
also set a write method in the proc_dir_entry struct.

An internal simple write function is provided that will copy its buffer and
hand it to the pde->write() method if available (or give an error if not).
The buffer may be modified by the write method.

proc: use slower rb_first()

In a typical for /proc "open+read+close" usecase, dentry is looked up
successfully on open only to be killed in dput() on close. In fact
dentries which aren't /proc/*/... and /proc/sys/* were almost NEVER
CACHED. Simple printk in proc_lookup_de() shows that.

Now that ->delete hook intelligently picks which dentries should live in
dcache and which should not, rbtree caching is not necessary as dcache
does it job, at last!

As a side effect, struct proc_dir_entry shrinks by one pointer which can
go into inline name.

proc: move "struct proc_dir_entry" into kmem cache

"struct proc_dir_entry" is variable sized because of 0-length trailing
array for name, however, because of SLAB padding allocations it is
possible to make "struct proc_dir_entry" fixed sized and allocate same
amount of memory.

It buys fine-grained debugging with poisoning and usercopy protection
which is not possible with kmalloc-* caches.

Currently, on 32-bit 91+ byte allocations go into kmalloc-128 and on
64-bit 147+ byte allocations go to kmalloc-192 anyway.

Additional memory is allocated only for 38/46+ byte long names which are
rare or may not even exist in the wild.

This patch starts to convert pernet_subsys, registered
before initcalls.

proc_net_ns_ops::proc_net_ns_init()/proc_net_ns_exit()
{un,}register pernet net->proc_net and ->proc_net_stat.

Constructors and destructors of another pernet_operations
are not interested in foreign net's proc_net and proc_net_stat.
Proc filesystem privitives are synchronized on proc_subdir_lock.

So, proc_net_ns_ops methods are able to be executed
in parallel with methods of any other pernet operations.
