Fix nasty /proc vulnerability
We have a bad interaction with both the kernel and user space being able
to change some of the /proc file status. This fixes the most obvious
part of it, but I expect we'll also make it harder for users to modify
even their "own" files in /proc.

Based on a patch from Ernie Petrides
During security research, Red Hat discovered a behavioral flaw in core
dump handling. A local user could create a program that would cause a
core file to be dumped into a directory they would not normally have
permissions to write to. This could lead to a denial of service (disk
consumption), or allow the local user to gain root privileges.

When a packet without any chunks is received, the newconntrack variable
in sctp_packet contains an out of bounds value that is used to look up an
pointer from the array of timeouts, which is then dereferenced, resulting
in a crash. Make sure at least a single chunk is present.

I ran into a bug where the kernel died in the idr code:

SP (f8b4e7a0) is in userspace
Turned out to be a race-condition and NULL ptr deref, here's my fix:
Users of the idr code are supposed to call idr_pre_get without locking, so the
idr code must serialize itself with respect to layer allocations. However, it
fails to do so in an error path in idr_get_new_above_int(). I added the
missing locking to fix this.

I've been experimenting to track down the cause of suspend/resume
problems on my Compaq Presario X1050 laptop:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6075
Essentially the ACPI Embedded Controller and keyboard controller would
get into a bizarre, confused state after resume.
I found that unloading the ohci1394 module before suspend and reloading
it after resume made the problem go away. Diffing the dmesg output from
resume, with and without the module loaded, I found that with the module
loaded I was missing these:
PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset 1. (Was
2100080, writing 2100007)
PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset 3. (Was
0, writing 8008)
PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset 4. (Was
0, writing 90200000)
PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset 5. (Was
1, writing 2401)
PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset f. (Was
20000100, writing 2000010a)
The default PCI driver performs the pci_restore_state when no driver is
loaded for the device. When the ohci1394 driver is loaded, it is
supposed to do this, however it appears not to do so.
I created the patch below and tested it, and it appears to resolve the
suspend problems I was having with the module loaded. I only added in
the pci_save_state and pci_restore_state - however, though I know little
of this hardware, surely the driver should really be doing more than
this when suspending and resuming? Currently it does almost nothing,
what if there are commands in progress, etc?

Two additional labels (RFC 3484, sec. 10.3) for IPv6 addreses
are defined to make a distinction between global unicast
addresses and Unique Local Addresses (fc00::/7, RFC 4193) and
Teredo (2001::/32, RFC 4380). It is necessary to avoid attempts
of connection that would either fail (eg. fec0:: to 2001:feed::)
or be sub-optimal (2001:0:: to 2001:feed::).

In the event that our entire receive buffer is full with a series of
chunks that represent a single gap-ack, and then we accept a chunk
(or chunks) that fill in the gap between the ctsn and the first gap,
we renege chunks from the end of the buffer, which effectively does
nothing but move our gap to the end of our received tsn stream. This
does little but move our missing tsns down stream a little, and, if the
sender is sending sufficiently large retransmit frames, the result is a
perpetual slowdown which can never be recovered from, since the only
chunk that can be accepted to allow progress in the tsn stream necessitates
that a new gap be created to make room for it. This leads to a constant
need for retransmits, and subsequent receiver stalls. The fix I've come up
with is to deliver the frame without reneging if we have a full receive
buffer and the receiving sockets sk_receive_queue is empty(indicating that
the receive buffer is being blocked by a missing tsn).

Right now, every time we increase our rwnd by more then MTU bytes, we
trigger a SACK. When processing large messages, this will generate a
SACK for almost every other SCTP fragment. However since we are freeing
the entire message at the same time, we might as well collapse the SACK
generation to 1.

When using ASSOCINFO socket option, we need to limit the number of
maximum association retransmissions to be no greater than the sum
of all the path retransmissions. This is specified in Section 7.1.2
of the SCTP socket API draft.
However, we only do this if the association has multiple paths. If
there is only one path, the protocol stack will use the
assoc_max_retrans setting when trying to retransmit packets.
