Linus Torvalds 505b050fdf Merge branch 'mount.part1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs mount API prep from Al Viro:
 "Mount API prereqs.

  Mostly that's LSM mount options cleanups. There are several minor
  fixes in there, but nothing earth-shattering (leaks on failure exits,
  mostly)"

* 'mount.part1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (27 commits)
  mount_fs: suppress MAC on MS_SUBMOUNT as well as MS_KERNMOUNT
  smack: rewrite smack_sb_eat_lsm_opts()
  smack: get rid of match_token()
  smack: take the guts of smack_parse_opts_str() into a new helper
  LSM: new method: ->sb_add_mnt_opt()
  selinux: rewrite selinux_sb_eat_lsm_opts()
  selinux: regularize Opt_... names a bit
  selinux: switch away from match_token()
  selinux: new helper - selinux_add_opt()
  LSM: bury struct security_mnt_opts
  smack: switch to private smack_mnt_opts
  selinux: switch to private struct selinux_mnt_opts
  LSM: hide struct security_mnt_opts from any generic code
  selinux: kill selinux_sb_get_mnt_opts()
  LSM: turn sb_eat_lsm_opts() into a method
  nfs_remount(): don't leak, don't ignore LSM options quietly
  btrfs: sanitize security_mnt_opts use
  selinux; don't open-code a loop in sb_finish_set_opts()
  LSM: split ->sb_set_mnt_opts() out of ->sb_kern_mount()
  new helper: security_sb_eat_lsm_opts()

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
