Subject: [PATCH 0/8] user namespace: Introduction

This patchset adds a user namespace, which allows a process to
unshare it's user_struct table,  allowing for separate accounting
per user namespace.  It appends a user namespace to vfsmounts and
fown_structs, so that uid1==uid2 checks can be extended to be
false if uid1 and uid2 are in different namespaces.

A vfsmount generally cannot be accessed by another user namespace
than that in which it was mounted.  A vfsmount can be mounted
"shared-ns", in which case it can be accessed by any user namespace.
This is needed at least to bootstrap a container so it can get far
enough to create it's own private file system tree, and can be
used in conjunction with read-only bind mounts to provide shared
/usr trees, for instance.  However, for more useful, more fine-grained
sharing accross user namespaces, it has been suggested that a new
filesystem specifying global userid's be used.

Patches are as follows:

	1. make exit_task_namespaces extern to prevent future
	compile failure.
	2. add userns framework.
	3. add userns pointer to vfsmount
	4. hook permission to check current against vfsmount userns
	5. prepare for copy_mnt and copy_tree to return -EPERM
	6. implement shared mounts which can cross user namespaces
	7. implement user ns checks for file sigio
	8. implement user namespace unshare
