Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6: deal with races in /proc/*/{syscall,stack,personality} proc: enable writing to /proc/pid/mem proc: make check_mem_permission() return an mm_struct on success proc: hold cred_guard_mutex in check_mem_permission() proc: disable mem_write after exec mm: implement access_remote_vm mm: factor out main logic of access_process_vm mm: use mm_struct to resolve gate vma's in __get_user_pages mm: arch: rename in_gate_area_no_task to in_gate_area_no_mm mm: arch: make in_gate_area take an mm_struct instead of a task_struct mm: arch: make get_gate_vma take an mm_struct instead of a task_struct x86: mark associated mm when running a task in 32 bit compatibility mode x86: add context tag to mark mm when running a task in 32-bit compatibility mode auxv: require the target to be tracable (or yourself) close race in /proc/*/environ report errors in /proc/*/*map* sanely pagemap: close races with suid execve make sessionid permissions in /proc/*/task/* match those in /proc/* fix leaks in path_lookupat() Fix up trivial conflicts in fs/proc/base.c
