Iulia Manda 2813893f8b kernel: conditionally support non-root users, groups and capabilities
There are a lot of embedded systems that run most or all of their
functionality in init, running as root:root.  For these systems,
supporting multiple users is not necessary.

This patch adds a new symbol, CONFIG_MULTIUSER, that makes support for
non-root users, non-root groups, and capabilities optional.  It is enabled
under CONFIG_EXPERT menu.

When this symbol is not defined, UID and GID are zero in any possible case
and processes always have all capabilities.

The following syscalls are compiled out: setuid, setregid, setgid,
setreuid, setresuid, getresuid, setresgid, getresgid, setgroups,
getgroups, setfsuid, setfsgid, capget, capset.

Also, groups.c is compiled out completely.

In kernel/capability.c, capable function was moved in order to avoid
adding two ifdef blocks.

This change saves about 25 KB on a defconfig build.  The most minimal
kernels have total text sizes in the high hundreds of kB rather than
low MB.  (The 25k goes down a bit with allnoconfig, but not that much.

The kernel was booted in Qemu.  All the common functionalities work.
Adding users/groups is not possible, failing with -ENOSYS.

Bloat-o-meter output:
add/remove: 7/87 grow/shrink: 19/397 up/down: 1675/-26325 (-24650)

select SUNRPC_GSS
help
Choose Y here to enable Secure RPC using the Kerberos version 5
GSS-API mechanism (RFC 1964).
Secure RPC calls with Kerberos require an auxiliary user-space
daemon which may be found in the Linux nfs-utils package
available from http://linux-nfs.org/. In addition, user-space
Kerberos support should be installed.
If unsure, say Y.

select DEBUG_FS
help
This option enables a sysctl-based debugging interface
that is be used by the 'rpcdebug' utility to turn on or off
logging of different aspects of the kernel RPC activity.
Disabling this option will make your kernel slightly smaller,
but makes troubleshooting NFS issues significantly harder.
If unsure, say Y.
