Linus Torvalds f359287765 Merge branch 'from-miklos' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "Assorted patches from Miklos.

  An interesting part here is /proc/mounts stuff..."

The "/proc/mounts stuff" is using a cursor for keeeping the location
data while traversing the mount listing.

Also probably worth noting is the addition of faccessat2(), which takes
an additional set of flags to specify how the lookup is done
(AT_EACCESS, AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, AT_EMPTY_PATH).

* 'from-miklos' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  vfs: add faccessat2 syscall
  vfs: don't parse "silent" option
  vfs: don't parse "posixacl" option
  vfs: don't parse forbidden flags
  statx: add mount_root
  statx: add mount ID
  statx: don't clear STATX_ATIME on SB_RDONLY
  uapi: deprecate STATX_ALL
  utimensat: AT_EMPTY_PATH support
  vfs: split out access_override_creds()
  proc/mounts: add cursor
  aio: fix async fsync creds
  vfs: allow unprivileged whiteout creation

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.
