SPDX License Identifiers are a more compact / standardized
way of representing file license information.

This adds support for MS_RDONLY, a mount flag that tells the kernel to disallow
any attempts to write to the newly mounted filesystem. As this flag is
per-mount, and different mounts of the same filesystems (such as in case of bind
mounts) can have different mutability settings, you have to go though a custody
to find out if the filesystem is mounted read-only, instead of just asking the
filesystem itself whether it's inherently read-only.
This also adds a lot of checks we were previously missing; and moves some of
them to happen after more specific checks (such as regular permission checks).
One outstanding hole in this system is sys$mprotect(PROT_WRITE), as there's no
way we can know if the original file description this region has been mounted
from had been opened through a readonly mount point. Currently, we always allow
such sys$mprotect() calls to succeed, which effectively allows anyone to
circumvent the effect of MS_RDONLY. We should solve this one way or another.
As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.
For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.
Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.
At the moment, the actual flags are ignored, but we correctly propagate them all
the way from the original mount() syscall to each custody that resides on the
mounted FS.
Walk the custody cache and try to reuse an existing one when possible.
The VFS is responsible for updating them when something happens that would
cause the described relationship to change.
This is definitely not perfect but it does work for the basic scenarios like
renaming and removing directory entries.
The current working directory is now stored as a custody. Likewise for a
process executable file. This unbreaks /proc/PID/fd which has not been
working since we made the filesystem bigger.
This still needs a bunch of work, for instance when renaming or removing
a file somewhere, we have to update the relevant custody links.
A custody is kind of a directory entry abstraction that represents a single
entry in a parent directory that tells us the name of a child inode.
The idea here is for path resolution to produce a chain of custody objects.
