acl: move idmapped mount fixup into vfs_{g,s}etxattr()

This cycle we added support for mounting overlayfs on top of idmapped mounts.
Recently I've started looking into potential corner cases when trying to add
additional tests and I noticed that reporting for POSIX ACLs is currently wrong
when using idmapped layers with overlayfs mounted on top of it.

I'm going to give a rather detailed explanation to both the origin of the
problem and the solution.

Let's assume the user creates the following directory layout and they have a
rootfs /var/lib/lxc/c1/rootfs. The files in this rootfs are owned as you would
expect files on your host system to be owned. For example, ~/.bashrc for your
regular user would be owned by 1000:1000 and /root/.bashrc would be owned by
0:0. IOW, this is just regular boring filesystem tree on an ext4 or xfs
filesystem.

The user chooses to set POSIX ACLs using the setfacl binary granting the user
with uid 4 read, write, and execute permissions for their .bashrc file:

        setfacl -m u:4:rwx /var/lib/lxc/c2/rootfs/home/ubuntu/.bashrc

Now they to expose the whole rootfs to a container using an idmapped mount. So
they first create:

        mkdir -pv /vol/contpool/{ctrover,merge,lowermap,overmap}
        mkdir -pv /vol/contpool/ctrover/{over,work}
        chown 10000000:10000000 /vol/contpool/ctrover/{over,work}

The user now creates an idmapped mount for the rootfs:

        mount-idmapped/mount-idmapped --map-mount=b:0:10000000:65536 \
                                      /var/lib/lxc/c2/rootfs \
                                      /vol/contpool/lowermap

This for example makes it so that /var/lib/lxc/c2/rootfs/home/ubuntu/.bashrc
which is owned by uid and gid 1000 as being owned by uid and gid 10001000 at
/vol/contpool/lowermap/home/ubuntu/.bashrc.

Assume the user wants to expose these idmapped mounts through an overlayfs
mount to a container.

       mount -t overlay overlay                      \
             -o lowerdir=/vol/contpool/lowermap,     \
                upperdir=/vol/contpool/overmap/over, \
                workdir=/vol/contpool/overmap/work   \
             /vol/contpool/merge

The user can do this in two ways:

(1) Mount overlayfs in the initial user namespace and expose it to the
    container.
(2) Mount overlayfs on top of the idmapped mounts inside of the container's
    user namespace.

Let's assume the user chooses the (1) option and mounts overlayfs on the host
and then changes into a container which uses the idmapping 0:10000000:65536
which is the same used for the two idmapped mounts.

Now the user tries to retrieve the POSIX ACLs using the getfacl command

        getfacl -n /vol/contpool/lowermap/home/ubuntu/.bashrc

and to their surprise they see:

        # file: vol/contpool/merge/home/ubuntu/.bashrc
        # owner: 1000
        # group: 1000
        user::rw-
        user:4294967295:rwx
        group::r--
        mask::rwx
        other::r--

indicating the the uid wasn't correctly translated according to the idmapped
mount. The problem is how we currently translate POSIX ACLs. Let's inspect the
callchain in this example:

        idmapped mount /vol/contpool/merge:      0:10000000:65536
        caller's idmapping:                      0:10000000:65536
        overlayfs idmapping (ofs->creator_cred): 0:0:4k /* initial idmapping */

        sys_getxattr()
        -> path_getxattr()
           -> getxattr()
              -> do_getxattr()
                  |> vfs_getxattr()
                  |  -> __vfs_getxattr()
                  |     -> handler->get == ovl_posix_acl_xattr_get()
                  |        -> ovl_xattr_get()
                  |           -> vfs_getxattr()
                  |              -> __vfs_getxattr()
                  |                 -> handler->get() /* lower filesystem callback */
                  |> posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user()
                     {
                              4 = make_kuid(&init_user_ns, 4);
                              4 = mapped_kuid_fs(&init_user_ns /* no idmapped mount */, 4);
                              /* FAILURE */
                             -1 = from_kuid(0:10000000:65536 /* caller's idmapping */, 4);
                     }

If the user chooses to use option (2) and mounts overlayfs on top of idmapped
mounts inside the container things don't look that much better:

        idmapped mount /vol/contpool/merge:      0:10000000:65536
        caller's idmapping:                      0:10000000:65536
        overlayfs idmapping (ofs->creator_cred): 0:10000000:65536

        sys_getxattr()
        -> path_getxattr()
           -> getxattr()
              -> do_getxattr()
                  |> vfs_getxattr()
                  |  -> __vfs_getxattr()
                  |     -> handler->get == ovl_posix_acl_xattr_get()
                  |        -> ovl_xattr_get()
                  |           -> vfs_getxattr()
                  |              -> __vfs_getxattr()
                  |                 -> handler->get() /* lower filesystem callback */
                  |> posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user()
                     {
                              4 = make_kuid(&init_user_ns, 4);
                              4 = mapped_kuid_fs(&init_user_ns, 4);
                              /* FAILURE */
                             -1 = from_kuid(0:10000000:65536 /* caller's idmapping */, 4);
                     }

As is easily seen the problem arises because the idmapping of the lower mount
isn't taken into account as all of this happens in do_gexattr(). But
do_getxattr() is always called on an overlayfs mount and inode and thus cannot
possible take the idmapping of the lower layers into account.

This problem is similar for fscaps but there the translation happens as part of
vfs_getxattr() already. Let's walk through an fscaps overlayfs callchain:

        setcap 'cap_net_raw+ep' /var/lib/lxc/c2/rootfs/home/ubuntu/.bashrc

The expected outcome here is that we'll receive the cap_net_raw capability as
we are able to map the uid associated with the fscap to 0 within our container.
IOW, we want to see 0 as the result of the idmapping translations.

If the user chooses option (1) we get the following callchain for fscaps:

        idmapped mount /vol/contpool/merge:      0:10000000:65536
        caller's idmapping:                      0:10000000:65536
        overlayfs idmapping (ofs->creator_cred): 0:0:4k /* initial idmapping */

                                                                 |____________________________________________________________________|

                                                    -> handler->get == /* lower filesystem callback */

We can see how the translation happens correctly in those cases as the
conversion happens within the vfs_getxattr() helper.

For POSIX ACLs we need to do something similar. However, in contrast to fscaps
we cannot apply the fix directly to the kernel internal posix acl data
structure as this would alter the cached values and would also require a rework
of how we currently deal with POSIX ACLs in general which almost never take the
filesystem idmapping into account (the noteable exception being FUSE but even
there the implementation is special) and instead retrieve the raw values based
on the initial idmapping.

The correct values are then generated right before returning to userspace. The
fix for this is to move taking the mount's idmapping into account directly in
vfs_getxattr() instead of having it be part of posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user().

To this end we split out two small and unexported helpers
posix_acl_getxattr_idmapped_mnt() and posix_acl_setxattr_idmapped_mnt(). The
former to be called in vfs_getxattr() and the latter to be called in
vfs_setxattr().

Let's go back to the original example. Assume the user chose option (1) and
mounted overlayfs on top of idmapped mounts on the host:

        idmapped mount /vol/contpool/merge:      0:10000000:65536
        caller's idmapping:                      0:10000000:65536
        overlayfs idmapping (ofs->creator_cred): 0:0:4k /* initial idmapping */

        sys_getxattr()
        -> path_getxattr()
           -> getxattr()
              -> do_getxattr()

                  |  |           |> posix_acl_getxattr_idmapped_mnt()
                  |  |              {
                  |  |                              4 = make_kuid(&init_user_ns, 4);

                     }

And similarly if the user chooses option (1) and mounted overayfs on top of
idmapped mounts inside the container:

        idmapped mount /vol/contpool/merge:      0:10000000:65536
        caller's idmapping:                      0:10000000:65536
        overlayfs idmapping (ofs->creator_cred): 0:10000000:65536

                     }

The last remaining problem we need to fix here is ovl_get_acl(). During
ovl_permission() overlayfs will call:

        ovl_permission()
        -> generic_permission()
           -> acl_permission_check()
              -> check_acl()
                 -> get_acl()
                    -> inode->i_op->get_acl() == ovl_get_acl()
                        > get_acl() /* on the underlying filesystem)
                          ->inode->i_op->get_acl() == /*lower filesystem callback */
                 -> posix_acl_permission()

passing through the get_acl request to the underlying filesystem. This will
retrieve the acls stored in the lower filesystem without taking the idmapping
of the underlying mount into account as this would mean altering the cached
values for the lower filesystem. So we block using ACLs for now until we
decided on a nice way to fix this. Note this limitation both in the
documentation and in the code.

The most straightforward solution would be to have ovl_get_acl() simply
duplicate the ACLs, update the values according to the idmapped mount and
return it to acl_permission_check() so it can be used in posix_acl_permission()
forgetting them afterwards. This is a bit heavy handed but fairly
straightforward otherwise.
