Miklos Szeredi 2d2f2d7322 ovl: user xattr
Optionally allow using "user.overlay." namespace instead of
"trusted.overlay."

This is necessary for overlayfs to be able to be mounted in an unprivileged
namepsace.

Make the option explicit, since it makes the filesystem format be
incompatible.

Disable redirect_dir and metacopy options, because these would allow
privilege escalation through direct manipulation of the
"user.overlay.redirect" or "user.overlay.metacopy" xattrs.

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.
