Merge tag 'for-linus-20190912' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux

Pull clone3 fix from Christian Brauner:
 "This is a last-minute bugfix for clone3() that should go in before we
  release 5.3 with clone3().

  clone3() did not verify that the exit_signal argument was set to a
  valid signal. This can be used to cause a crash by specifying a signal
  greater than NSIG. e.g. -1.

  The commit from Eugene adds a check to copy_clone_args_from_user() to
  verify that the exit signal is limited by CSIGNAL as with legacy
  clone() and that the signal is valid. With this we don't get the
  legacy clone behavior were an invalid signal could be handed down and
  would only be detected and then ignored in do_notify_parent(). Users
  of clone3() will now get a proper error right when they pass an
  invalid exit signal. Note, that this is not a change in user-visible
  behavior since no kernel with clone3() has been released yet"

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.
