retrieved/parsed in a crash scenario, but they are generic enough for other

A rewrite of my previous post for this enhancement. It uses jeremy's

can be passed to userspace as an argument.

For some time /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been able to set its output
destination as a pipe, allowing a user space helper to receive and
intellegently process a core. This infrastructure however has some
shortcommings which can be enhanced. Specifically:
1) The coredump code in the kernel should ignore RLIMIT_CORE limitation
when core_pattern is a pipe, since file system resources are not being
consumed in this case, unless the user application wishes to save the core,
at which point the app is restricted by usual file system limits and
restrictions.
2) The core_pattern code should be able to parse and pass options to the
user space helper as an argv array. The real core limit of the uid of the
crashing proces should also be passable to the user space helper (since it
is overridden to zero when called).
3) Some miscellaneous bugs need to be cleaned up (specifically the
recognition of a recursive core dump, should the user mode helper itself
crash. Also, the core dump code in the kernel should not wait for the user
mode helper to exit, since the same context is responsible for writing to
the pipe, and a read of the pipe by the user mode helper will result in a
deadlock.
This patch:
Remove the check of RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe. In the event that
core_pattern is a pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.

Add in support for SunOS 4.1.x flavor of BSD 4.2 UFS filing system Macros have
been put in to alow suport for the old static table Cylinder Groups but this
implementation does not use them yet.
This also fixes Solaris UFS filing system access by disabling fast symbolic
links as Sun's version of UFS does not support on-disk fast symbolic links.
Tested by:
Ppartitioning a new disk using SunOS 4.1.1, creating a UFS filing system on
one of the partitions and writing some files to the filing system.
Using Linux-2.6.22 (patched) to read the files and then write a shed load of
files to the UFS partition.
Using SunOS 4.1.1 to verify the filing system is OK and to check the files.
The test host is a sun4c SS1 Clone.

Read to /proc/stat takes:
Plain: 2.622832
With speedup patch: 0.013194
With the per-irq stats commented out: 0.008124
So the performance problems which originally caused those architectures to

Using mtab is problematic for various reasons, one of them is that
unprivileged mounts won't turn up in there. So we want to get rid of it, and
use /proc/mounts instead.
But most filesystems are lazy, and are not showing all mount options. Which
means, that without mtab, the user won't be able to see some or all of the
options.
It would be nice if the generic code could remember the mount options, and
show them without the need to add extra code to filesystems. But this is not
easy, because different filesystems handle mount options given options, and
not tough the rest. This is not taken into account by mount(8) either, so
/etc/mtab will be broken in this case.
This series fixes up ->show_options() in ext[234].
