2020-10-05	fs/kernel_file_read: Add "offset" arg for partial reads	Kees Cook	1	-4/+4
	To perform partial reads, callers of kernel_read_file*() must have a non-NULL file_size argument and a preallocated buffer. The new "offset" argument can then be used to seek to specific locations in the file to fill the buffer to, at most, "buf_size" per call. Where possible, the LSM hooks can report whether a full file has been read or not so that the contents can be reasoned about.

2020-10-05	fs/kernel_read_file: Add file_size output argument	Kees Cook	1	-0/+4
	In preparation for adding partial read support, add an optional output argument to kernel_read_file*() that reports the file size so callers can reason more easily about their reading progress.

2020-10-05	fs/kernel_read_file: Switch buffer size arg to size_t	Kees Cook	1	-4/+4
	In preparation for further refactoring of kernel_read_file(), rename the "max_size" argument to the more accurate "buf_size", and correct its type to size_t. Add kerndoc to explain the specifics of how the arguments will be used. Note that with buf_size now size_t, it can no longer be negative (and was never called with a negative value). Adjust callers to use it as a "maximum size" when buf is NULL.

2020-10-05	fs/kernel_read_file: Remove redundant size argument	Kees Cook	1	-4/+4
	In preparation for refactoring kernel_read_file*(), remove the redundant "size" argument which is not needed: it can be included in the return code, with callers adjusted. (VFS reads already cannot be larger than INT_MAX.)

2020-10-05	fs/kernel_read_file: Split into separate include file	Scott Branden	1	-0/+51
	Move kernel_read_file* out of linux/fs.h to its own linux/kernel_read_file.h include file. That header gets pulled in just about everywhere and doesn't really need functions not related to the general fs interface.
