Eric W. Biederman 728dba3a39 namespaces: Use task_lock and not rcu to protect nsproxy
The synchronous syncrhonize_rcu in switch_task_namespaces makes setns
a sufficiently expensive system call that people have complained.

Upon inspect nsproxy no longer needs rcu protection for remote reads.
remote reads are rare.  So optimize for same process reads and write
by switching using rask_lock instead.

This yields a simpler to understand lock, and a faster setns system call.

In particular this fixes a performance regression observed
by Rafael David Tinoco <rafael.tinoco@canonical.com>.

This is effectively a revert of Pavel Emelyanov's commit
cf7b708c8d Make access to task's nsproxy lighter
from 2007.  The race this originialy fixed no longer exists as
do_notify_parent uses task_active_pid_ns(parent) instead of
parent->nsproxy.

Al Viro aab407fc5c don't bother with vfsmount_lock in mounts_poll()
wake_up_interruptible/poll_wait provide sufficient barriers;
just use ACCESS_ONCE() to fetch ns->event and that's it.

Al Viro 6ce6e24e72 get rid of magic in proc_namespace.c
don't rely on proc_mounts->m being the first field; container_of()
is there for purpose.  No need to bother with ->private, while
we are at it - the same container_of will do nicely.

Andi Kleen 962830df36 brlocks/lglocks: API cleanups
lglocks and brlocks are currently generated with some complicated macros
in lglock.h.  But there's no reason to not just use common utility
functions and put all the data into a common data structure.

In preparation, this patch changes the API to look more like normal
function calls with pointers, not magic macros.

The patch is rather large because I move over all users in one go to keep
it bisectable.  This impacts the VFS somewhat in terms of lines changed.
But no actual behaviour change.

Al Viro 0226f4923f vfs: take /proc/*/mounts and friends to fs/proc_namespace.c
rationale: that stuff is far tighter bound to fs/namespace.c than to
the guts of procfs proper.
