This patchset comprises a number of cleanups for the cifs upcall
binary. The biggest change is that it renames it from cifs.spnego to cifs.upcall since the cifs.spnego name really isn't applicable anymore. It also fixes a segfault when the program is run without any args and adds a manpage. Comments and/or suggestions appreciated. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> (cherry picked from commit 1d88c3431a1abf5fe6527fcbdf43972607a317ee)

+
+<para>cifs.upcall is a userspace helper program for the linux CIFS client
+filesystem. There are a number of activities that the kernel cannot easily
+do itself. This program is a callout program that does these things for the
+kernel and then returns the result.</para>
+
+<para>cifs.upcall is generally intended to be run when the kernel calls
+request-key<manvolnum>8</manvolnum> for a particular key type. While it
+can be run directly from the command-line, it's not generally intended
+to be run that way.</para>

+ <title>CONFIGURATION FOR KEYCTL</title>
+ <para>cifs.upcall is designed to be called from the kernel via the request-key callout program. This requres that request-key be told where and how to call this program. The current cifs.upcall program handles two different key types:</para>
+
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>cifs.spnego</term>
+ <listitem><para>This keytype is for retrieving kerberos session keys
+ </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>cifs.resolve</term>
+ <listitem><para>This key type is for resolving hostnames into IP addresses
+ </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ </variablelist>
+
+ <para>To make this program useful for CIFS, you'll need to set up entries for them in request-key.conf<manvolnum>5</manvolnum>. Here's an example of an entry for each key type:</para>
+<programlisting>
+#OPERATION TYPE D C PROGRAM ARG1 ARG2...
+#========= ============= = = ==========================================
+create cifs.spnego * * /usr/local/sbin/cifs.upcall -c %k
+create cifs.resolver * * /usr/local/sbin/cifs.upcall %k
+</programlisting>
+<para>
