Subject: [PATCH RFC] capabilities: fix compilation with strict type checking

Subject: [PATCH RFC] capabilities: fix compilation with strict type checking (v2)
Since at least 1998 the code under STRICT_CAP_T_TYPECHECKS option has
not been used. (See
http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/9810.2/0705.html)
There are two options - we can remove this option altogether
or, as this patch attempts to do, fix compilation with
STRICT_CAP_T_TYPECHECKS so it can be enabled.
This patch replaces the always-undefined STRICT_CAP_T_TYPECHECKS
with a Kconfig variable (CONFIG_CAP_STRICT_TYPECHECKS), and
hopefully fixes all the places in the code which broke with
that option set. This compiles with capabilities, selinux,
and dummy modules. It passes ltp with capabilities and file
capabilities.
However this patch is only for comment. Much more testing and
proofreading is needed before considering applying. I will
also be sending out the alternative patch which simply removes
the strict typechecking.
