Linus Torvalds faf145d6f3 Merge branch 'exec-for-v5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull execve updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes ultimately fixes the interaction of posix file
  lock and exec. Fundamentally most of the change is just moving where
  unshare_files is called during exec, and tweaking the users of
  files_struct so that the count of files_struct is not unnecessarily
  played with.

  Along the way fcheck and related helpers were renamed to more
  accurately reflect what they do.

  There were also many other small changes that fell out, as this is the
  first time in a long time much of this code has been touched.

  Benchmarks haven't turned up any practical issues but Al Viro has
  observed a possibility for a lot of pounding on task_lock. So I have
  some changes in progress to convert put_files_struct to always rcu
  free files_struct. That wasn't ready for the merge window so that will
  have to wait until next time"

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.
