Merge tag 'for-linus-20190701' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux

Pull pidfd fork() fix from Christian Brauner:
 "A single small fix for copy_process() in kernel/fork.c:

  With Al's removal of ksys_close() from cleanup paths in copy_process()
  a bug was introduced. When anon_inode_getfile() failed the cleanup was
  correctly performed but the error code was not propagated to callers
  of copy_process() causing them to operate on a nonsensical pointer.

  The fix is a simple on-liner which makes sure that a proper negative
  error code is returned from copy_process().

  syzkaller has also verified that the bug is not reproducible with this
  fix"

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.
