David Howells b206f281d0 keys: Namespace keyring names
Keyring names are held in a single global list that any process can pick
from by means of keyctl_join_session_keyring (provided the keyring grants
Search permission).  This isn't very container friendly, however.

Make the following changes:

 (1) Make default session, process and thread keyring names begin with a
     '.' instead of '_'.

 (2) Keyrings whose names begin with a '.' aren't added to the list.  Such
     keyrings are system specials.

 (3) Replace the global list with per-user_namespace lists.  A keyring adds
     its name to the list for the user_namespace that it is currently in.

 (4) When a user_namespace is deleted, it just removes itself from the
     keyring name list.

The global keyring_name_lock is retained for accessing the name lists.
This allows (4) to work.

This can be tested by:

	# keyctl newring foo @s
	995906392
	# unshare -U
	$ keyctl show
	...
	 995906392 --alswrv  65534 65534   \_ keyring: foo
	...
	$ keyctl session foo
	Joined session keyring: 935622349

As can be seen, a new session keyring was created.

The capability bit KEYCTL_CAPS1_NS_KEYRING_NAME is set if the kernel is
employing this feature.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
