We are going to split <linux/sched/task_stack.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.
Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/task_stack.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.
Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

The do_brk() and vm_brk() return value was "unsigned long" and returned
the starting address on success, and an error value on failure. The
reasons are entirely historical, and go back to it basically behaving
like the mmap() interface does.
However, nobody actually wanted that interface, and it causes totally
pointless IS_ERR_VALUE() confusion.
What every single caller actually wants is just the simpler integer
return of zero for success and negative error number on failure.
So just convert to that much clearer and more common calling convention,
and get rid of all the IS_ERR_VALUE() uses wrt vm_brk().

vm_brk is allowed to fail but load_aout_binary simply ignores the error
and happily continues. I haven't noticed any problem from that in real
life but later patches will make the failure more likely because vm_brk
will become killable (resp. mmap_sem for write waiting will become
killable) so we should be more careful now.
The error handling should be quite straightforward because there are
calls to vm_mmap which check the error properly already. The only
notable exception is set_brk which is called after beyond_if label. But
nothing indicates that we cannot move it above set_binfmt as the two do
not depend on each other and fail before we do set_binfmt and alter
reference counting.

Pull VFS updates from Al Viro,
Misc cleanups all over the place, mainly wrt /proc interfaces (switch
create_proc_entry to proc_create(), get rid of the deprecated
create_proc_read_entry() in favor of using proc_create_data() and

Adds an expert Kconfig option, CONFIG_COREDUMP, which allows disabling of
core dump. This saves approximately 2.6k in the compiled kernel, and
complements CONFIG_ELF_CORE, which now depends on it.
CONFIG_COREDUMP also disables coredump-related sysctls, except for
suid_dumpable and related functions, which are necessary for ptrace.

This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap():
vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the
required VM locking.
This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly
duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c. But that way we don't have
to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function.
Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all
modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead. We're actually
very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken)
use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.

It does the same thing as "do_brk()", except it handles the VM locking
too.
It turns out that all external callers want that anyway, so we can make
do_brk() static to just mm/mmap.c while at it.

akiphie points out that a.out core-dumps have that odd task struct
dumping that was never used and was never really a good idea (it goes
back into the mists of history, probably the original core-dumping
code). Just remove it.
Also do the access_ok() check on dump_write(). It probably doesn't
matter (since normal filesystems all seem to do it anyway), but he
points out that it's normally done by the VFS layer, so ...
[ I suspect that we should possibly do "vfs_write()" instead of
calling ->write directly. That also does the whole fsnotify and write
statistics thing, which may or may not be a good idea. ]
And just to be anal, do this all for the x86-64 32-bit a.out emulation
code too, even though it's not enabled (and won't currently even
compile)
