We have some very odd semantics for reading the command line through
/proc, because we allow people to rewrite their own command line pretty
much at will, and things get positively funky when you extend your
command line past the point that used to be the end of the command line,
and is now in the environment variable area.

But our weird semantics doesn't mean that we should write weird and
complex code to handle them.

So re-write get_mm_cmdline() to be much simpler, and much more explicit
about what it is actually doing and why.  And avoid the extra check for
"is there a NUL character at the end of the command line where I expect
one to be", by simply making the NUL character handling be part of the
normal "once you hit the end of the command line, stop at the first NUL
character" logic.

It's quite possible that we should stop the crazy "walk into
environment" entirely, but happily it's not really the usual case.

NOTE! We tried to really simplify and limit our odd cmdline parsing some
time ago, but people complained.  See commit c2c0bb44620d ("proc: fix
PAGE_SIZE limit of /proc/$PID/cmdline") for details about why we have
this complexity.

This is a pure refactoring of the function, preparing for some further
cleanups.  The thing was pretty illegible, and the core functionality
still is, but now the core loop is a bit more isolated from the thing
that goes on around it.

This was "inspired" by the confluence of kworker workqueue name cleanups
by Tejun, currently scheduled for 4.18, and commit 7f7ccc2ccc2e ("proc:
do not access cmdline nor environ from file-backed areas").

proc_pid_cmdline_read() and environ_read() directly access the target
process' VM to retrieve the command line and environment. If this
process remaps these areas onto a file via mmap(), the requesting
process may experience various issues such as extra delays if the
underlying device is slow to respond.

Let's simply refuse to access file-backed areas in these functions.
For this we add a new FOLL_ANON gup flag that is passed to all calls
to access_remote_vm(). The code already takes care of such failures
(including unmapped areas). Accesses via /proc/pid/mem were not
changed though.

This was assigned CVE-2018-1120.

Note for stable backports: the patch may apply to kernels prior to 4.11
but silently miss one location; it must be checked that no call to
access_remote_vm() keeps zero as the last argument.

Pull AFS fixes from David Howells:
 "Here's a set of patches that fix a number of bugs in the in-kernel AFS
  client, including:

   - Fix directory locking to not use individual page locks for
     directory reading/scanning but rather to use a semaphore on the
     afs_vnode struct as the directory contents must be read in a single
     blob and data from different reads must not be mixed as the entire
     contents may be shuffled about between reads.

   - Fix address list parsing to handle port specifiers correctly.

   - Only give up callback records on a server if we actually talked to
     that server (we might not be able to access a server).

   - Fix some callback handling bugs, including refcounting,
     whole-volume callbacks and when callbacks actually get broken in
     response to a CB.CallBack op.

   - Fix some server/address rotation bugs, including giving up if we
     can't probe a server; giving up if a server says it doesn't have a
     volume, but there are more servers to try.

   - Fix the decoding of fetched statuses to be OpenAFS compatible.

   - Fix the handling of server lookups in Cache Manager ops (such as
     CB.InitCallBackState3) to use a UUID if possible and to handle no
     server being found.

   - Fix a bug in server lookup where not all addresses are compared.

   - Fix the non-encryption of calls that prevents some servers from
     being accessed (this also requires an AF_RXRPC patch that has
     already gone in through the net tree).

  There's also a patch that adds tracepoints to log Cache Manager ops
  that don't find a matching server, either by UUID or by address"

Some AFS servers refuse to accept unencrypted traffic, so can't be accessed
with kAFS.  Set the AF_RXRPC security level to encrypt client calls to deal
with this.

Note that incoming service calls are set by the remote client and so aren't
affected by this.

This requires an AF_RXRPC patch to pass the value set by setsockopt to calls
begun by the kernel.

The handling of CB.CallBack messages sent by the fileserver to the client
is broken in that they are currently being processed after the reply has
been transmitted.

This is not what the fileserver expects, however.  It holds up change
visibility until the reply comes so as to maintain cache coherency, and so
expects the client to have to refetch the state on the affected files.

Fix CB.CallBack handling to perform the callback break before sending the
reply.

The fileserver is free to hold up status fetches issued by other threads on
the same client that occur in reponse to the callback until any pending
changes have been committed.

It's possible for an AFS file server to issue a whole-volume notification
that callbacks on all the vnodes in the file have been broken.  This is
done for R/O and backup volumes (which don't have per-file callbacks) and
for things like a volume being taken offline.

Fix callback handling to detect whole-volume notifications, to track it
across operations and to check it during inode validation.

The code that looks up servers by addresses makes the assumption
that the list of addresses for a server is sorted.  It exits the
loop if it finds that the target address is larger than the
current candidate.  As the list is not currently sorted, this
can lead to a failure to find a matching server, which can cause
callbacks from that server to be ignored.

Remove the early exit case so that the complete list is searched.
