Pavel Emelyanov 32df81cbd5 Isolate the UTS namespace's domainname and hostname back 
Commit 7d69a1f4a7 ("remove CONFIG_UTS_NS
and CONFIG_IPC_NS") by Cedric Le Goater accidentally removed the code
that prevented the uts->hostname and uts->domainname values from being
overwritten from another namespace.

In other words, setting hostname/domainname via sysfs (echo xxx >
/proc/sys/kernel/(host|domain)name) cased the new value to be set in
init UTS namespace only.

Return the isolation back.

Cedric Le Goater 7d69a1f4a7 remove CONFIG_UTS_NS and CONFIG_IPC_NS 
CONFIG_UTS_NS and CONFIG_IPC_NS have very little value as they only
deactivate the unshare of the uts and ipc namespaces and do not improve
performance.

Eric W. Biederman 0b4d414714 [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl 
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

Eric W. Biederman 39732acd96 [PATCH] sysctl: move utsname sysctls to their own file 
This is just a simple cleanup to keep kernel/sysctl.c from getting to crowded
with special cases, and by keeping all of the utsname logic to together it
makes the code a little more readable.
