Switch the remaining IPVS sysctl entries over to to use CTL_UNNUMBERED,
I stronly doubt that anyone is using the sys_sysctl interface to
these variables.

sysctl table check failed: /net/ipv4/vs/lblc_expiration .3.5.21.19 Missing strategy
[...]
sysctl table check failed: /net/ipv4/vs/lblcr_expiration .3.5.21.20 Missing strategy
Switch these entried over to use CTL_UNNUMBERED as clearly
the sys_syscal portion wasn't working.
This is along the same lines as Christian Borntraeger's patch that fixes
up entries with no stratergy in net/ipv4/ipvs/ip_vs_ctl.c

Running the latest git code I get the following messages during boot:
sysctl table check failed: /net/ipv4/vs/drop_entry .3.5.21.4 Missing strategy
[...]
sysctl table check failed: /net/ipv4/vs/drop_packet .3.5.21.5 Missing strategy
[...]
sysctl table check failed: /net/ipv4/vs/secure_tcp .3.5.21.6 Missing strategy
[...]
sysctl table check failed: /net/ipv4/vs/sync_threshold .3.5.21.24 Missing strategy
I removed the binary sysctl handler for those messages and also removed
the definitions in ip_vs.h. The alternative would be to implement a
proper strategy handler, but syscall sysctl is deprecated.
There are other sysctl definitions that are commented out or work with
the default sysctl_data strategy. I did not touch these.

Gabriel C reported that modprobing appletalk on current git gives a
warning in dmesg :
"sysctl table check failed: /net/appletalk .3.7 procname does not match binary path procname"
Oops. My apologies it appears I made a mistake when creating my table
to check up on sysctl values.

The non-filesystem capability meaning of CAP_SETPCAP is that a process, p1,
can change the capabilities of another process, p2. This is not the
meaning that was intended for this capability at all, and this
implementation came about purely because, without filesystem capabilities,
there was no way to use capabilities without one process bestowing them on
another.
Since we now have a filesystem support for capabilities we can fix the
implementation of CAP_SETPCAP.
The most significant thing about this change is that, with it in effect, no
process can set the capabilities of another process.
The capabilities of a program are set via the capability convolution
rules:
pI(post-exec) = pI(pre-exec)
pP(post-exec) = (X(aka cap_bset) & fP) | (pI(post-exec) & fI)
pE(post-exec) = fE ? pP(post-exec) : 0
at exec() time. As such, the only influence the pre-exec() program can
have on the post-exec() program's capabilities are through the pI
capability set.
The correct implementation for CAP_SETPCAP (and that enabled by this patch)
is that it can be used to add extra pI capabilities to the current process
- to be picked up by subsequent exec()s when the above convolution rules
are applied.
Here is how it works:
Let's say we have a process, p. It has capability sets, pE, pP and pI.
Generally, p, can change the value of its own pI to pI' where
(pI' & ~pI) & ~pP = 0.
That is, the only new things in pI' that were not present in pI need to
be present in pP.
The role of CAP_SETPCAP is basically to permit changes to pI beyond
the above:
if (pE & CAP_SETPCAP) {
pI' = anything; /* ie., even (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP != 0 */
}
This capability is useful for things like login, which (say, via
pam_cap) might want to raise certain inheritable capabilities for use
by the children of the logged-in user's shell, but those capabilities
are not useful to or needed by the login program itself.
One such use might be to limit who can run ping. You set the
capabilities of the 'ping' program to be "= cap_net_raw+i", and then
only shells that have (pI & CAP_NET_RAW) will be able to run
it. Without CAP_SETPCAP implemented as described above, login(pam_cap)
would have to also have (pP & CAP_NET_RAW) in order to raise this
capability and pass it on through the inheritable set.

It turns out that the net/irda code didn't register any of it's binary paths
in the global sysctl.h header file so I missed them completely when making an
authoritative list of binary sysctl paths in the kernel. So add them to the
list of valid binary sysctl paths.

Well it turns out after I dug into the problems a little more I was returning
a few false positives so this patch updates my logic to remove them.
- Don't complain about 0 ctl_names in sysctl_check_binary_path
It is valid for someone to remove the sysctl binary interface
and still keep the same sysctl proc interface.
- Count ctl_names and procnames as matching if they both don't
exist.
- Only warn about missing min&max when the generic functions care.

After going through the kernels sysctl tables several times it has become
clear that code review and testing is just not effective in prevent
problematic sysctl tables from being used in the stable kernel. I certainly
can't seem to fix the problems as fast as they are introduced.
Therefore this patch adds sysctl_check_table which is called when a sysctl
table is registered and checks to see if we have a problematic sysctl table.
The biggest part of the code is the table of valid binary sysctl entries, but
since we have frozen our set of binary sysctls this table should not need to
change, and it makes it much easier to detect when someone unintentionally
adds a new binary sysctl value.
As best as I can determine all of the several hundred errors spewed on boot up
now are legitimate.
