The selinuxfs superblock magic is used inside the IMA code, but is being
defined in two places and could someday get out of sync. This patch moves the
declaration into magic.h so it is only done once.

The xenfs filesystem exports various interfaces to usermode. Initially
this exports a file to allow usermode to interact with xenbus/xenstore.
Traditionally this appeared in /proc/xen. Rather than extending procfs,
this patch adds a backward-compat mountpoint on /proc/xen, and provides
a xenfs filesystem which can be mounted there.

Discussion on the mailing list questioned the use of these
magic values in userspace, concluding these values are already
exported to userspace via statfs and their correct/incorrect
usage is left up to the userspace application.
- Move special fs magic number definitions to magic.h
- Add magic.h include

(Updated with a common max-stack-used checker that knows about
the canary, as suggested by Joe Perches)
Use a canary at the end of the stack to clearly indicate
at oops time whether the stack has ever overflowed.
This is a very simple implementation with a couple of
drawbacks:
1) a thread may legitimately use exactly up to the last
word on the stack
-- but the chances of doing this and then oopsing later seem slim
2) it's possible that the stack usage isn't dense enough
that the canary location could get skipped over
-- but the worst that happens is that we don't flag the overrun
-- though this happens fairly often in my testing :(
With the code in place, an intentionally-bloated stack oops might
do:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff8103f84cc680
IP: [<ffffffff810253df>] update_curr+0x9a/0xa8
PGD 8063 PUD 0
Thread overran stack or stack corrupted
Oops: 0000 [1] SMP
CPU 0
...
... unless the stack overrun is so bad that it corrupts some other
thread.

Generic Process Control Groups
--------------------------
There have recently been various proposals floating around for
resource management/accounting and other task grouping subsystems in
the kernel, including ResGroups, User BeanCounters, NSProxy
cgroups, and others. These all need the basic abstraction of being
able to group together multiple processes in an aggregate, in order to
track/limit the resources permitted to those processes, or control
other behaviour of the processes, and all implement this grouping in
different ways.
This patchset provides a framework for tracking and grouping processes
into arbitrary "cgroups" and assigning arbitrary state to those
groupings, in order to control the behaviour of the cgroup as an
aggregate.
The intention is that the various resource management and
virtualization/cgroup efforts can also become task cgroup
clients, with the result that:
- the userspace APIs are (somewhat) normalised
- it's easier to test e.g. the ResGroups CPU controller in
conjunction with the BeanCounters memory controller, or use either of
them as the resource-control portion of a virtual server system.
- the additional kernel footprint of any of the competing resource
management systems is substantially reduced, since it doesn't need
to provide process grouping/containment, hence improving their
chances of getting into the kernel
This patch:
Add the main task cgroups framework - the cgroup filesystem, and the
basic structures for tracking membership and associating subsystem state
objects to tasks.

This patch add an anonymous inode source, to be used for files that need
and inode only in order to create a file*. We do not care of having an
inode for each file, and we do not even care of having different names in
the associated dentries (dentry names will be same for classes of file*).
This allow code reuse, and will be used by epoll, signalfd and timerfd
(and whatever else there'll be).

This morning I needed to read a Minix V3 filesystem, but unfortunately my
2.6.19 did not support that, and neither did the downloaded 2.6.20rc4.
Fortunately, google told me that Daniel Aragones had already done the work,
patch found at http://www.terra.es/personal2/danarag/
Unfortunaly, looking at the patch was painful to my eyes, so I polished it
a bit before applying. The resulting kernel boots, and reads the
filesystem it needed to read.

Jeffrey Altman, one of the gatekeepers of OpenAFS (the open source project
which inherited the Transarc/IBM AFS codebase) has requested that the magic
number 0x5346414F (little endian 'OAFS') be allocated for the f_type field
of the fsinfo structure on Linux:
https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2006-December/024829.html
Add it to include/linux/magic.h, mostly as a way of publishing this number
and ensuring that no other filesystem accidentally uses it.
