Pull third pile of VFS updates from Al Viro:
"Stuff from Jeff Layton, mostly. Sanitizing interplay between audit
and namei, removing a lot of insanity from audit_inode() mess and
getting things ready for his ESTALE patchset."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
procfs: don't need a PATH_MAX allocation to hold a string representation of an int
vfs: embed struct filename inside of names_cache allocation if possible
audit: make audit_inode take struct filename
vfs: make path_openat take a struct filename pointer
vfs: turn do_path_lookup into wrapper around struct filename variant
audit: allow audit code to satisfy getname requests from its names_list
vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it
vfs: unexport getname and putname symbols
acct: constify the name arg to acct_on
vfs: allocate page instead of names_cache buffer in mount_block_root
audit: overhaul __audit_inode_child to accomodate retrying
audit: optimize audit_compare_dname_path
audit: make audit_compare_dname_path use parent_len helper
audit: remove dirlen argument to audit_compare_dname_path
audit: set the name_len in audit_inode for parent lookups
audit: add a new "type" field to audit_names struct
audit: reverse arguments to audit_inode_child
audit: no need to walk list in audit_inode if name is NULL
audit: pass in dentry to audit_copy_inode wherever possible
audit: remove unnecessary NULL ptr checks from do_path_lookup

vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.

For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.

This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.

Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.
