Linus Torvalds d01e7f10da Merge branch 'exec-update-lock-for-v5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull exec-update-lock update from Eric Biederman:
 "The key point of this is to transform exec_update_mutex into a
  rw_semaphore so readers can be separated from writers.

  This makes it easier to understand what the holders of the lock are
  doing, and makes it harder to contend or deadlock on the lock.

  The real deadlock fix wound up in perf_event_open"

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.
