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.

<title>fs: rename current get acl method</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cac2f8b8d8b50ef32b3e34f6dcbbf08937e4f616</id>
<content type='text'>
The current way of setting and getting posix acls through the generic
xattr interface is error prone and type unsafe. The vfs needs to
interpret and fixup posix acls before storing or reporting it to
userspace. Various hacks exist to make this work. The code is hard to
understand and difficult to maintain in it's current form. Instead of
making this work by hacking posix acls through xattr handlers we are
building a dedicated posix acl api around the get and set inode
operations. This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths
easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1].

The current inode operation for getting posix acls takes an inode
argument but various filesystems (e.g., 9p, cifs, overlayfs) need access
to the dentry. In contrast to the -&gt;set_acl() inode operation we cannot
simply extend -&gt;get_acl() to take a dentry argument. The -&gt;get_acl()
inode operation is called from:

acl_permission_check()
-&gt; check_acl()
   -&gt; get_acl()

which is part of generic_permission() which in turn is part of
inode_permission(). Both generic_permission() and inode_permission() are
called in the -&gt;permission() handler of various filesystems (e.g.,
overlayfs). So simply passing a dentry argument to -&gt;get_acl() would
amount to also having to pass a dentry argument to -&gt;permission(). We
should avoid this unnecessary change.

So instead of extending the existing inode operation rename it from
-&gt;get_acl() to -&gt;get_inode_acl() and add a -&gt;get_acl() method later that
passes a dentry argument and which filesystems that need access to the
dentry can implement instead of -&gt;get_inode_acl(). Filesystems like cifs
which allow setting and getting posix acls but not using them for
permission checking during lookup can simply not implement
-&gt;get_inode_acl().

This is intended to be a non-functional change.

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.

<title>jffs2: use 64-bit intermediate timestamps</title>

<content type='text'>
The VFS now uses timespec64 timestamps consistently, but jffs2 still
converts them to 32-bit numbers on the storage medium. As the helper
functions for the conversion (get_seconds() and timespec_to_timespec64())
are now deprecated, let's change them over to the more modern
replacements.

This keeps the traditional interpretation of those values, where
the on-disk 32-bit numbers are taken to be negative numbers, i.e.
dates before 1970, on 32-bit machines, but future numbers past 2038
on 64-bit machines.

Pull the timespec64 conversion from Deepa Dinamani:
 "The series aims to switch vfs timestamps to use
  struct timespec64. Currently vfs uses struct timespec,
  which is not y2038 safe.

  The flag patch applies cleanly. I've not seen the timestamps
  update logic change often. The series applies cleanly on 4.17-rc6
  and linux-next tip (top commit: next-20180517).

  I'm not sure how to merge this kind of a series with a flag patch.
  We are targeting 4.18 for this.
  Let me know if you have other suggestions.

  The series involves the following:
  1. Add vfs helper functions for supporting struct timepec64 timestamps.
  2. Cast prints of vfs timestamps to avoid warnings after the switch.
  3. Simplify code using vfs timestamps so that the actual
     replacement becomes easy.
  4. Convert vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64 using a script.
     This is a flag day patch.

  I've tried to keep the conversions with the script simple, to
  aid in the reviews. I've kept all the internal filesystem data
  structures and function signatures the same.

  Next steps:
  1. Convert APIs that can handle timespec64, instead of converting
     timestamps at the boundaries.
  2. Update internal data structures to avoid timestamp conversions."

I've pulled it into a branch based on top of the NFS changes that
are now in mainline, so I could resolve the non-obvious conflict
between the two while merging.
