Jaegeuk Kim reports that the debian kernel package build gets confused
by the lack of Documentation/Changes file.  We also refer to that path
name in ver_linux and various how-to files and Kconfig files.

The file got renamed away in commit 186128f7 ("docs-rst: add
documents to development-process"), and as Jaegeuk Kim points out, the
commit message for that change says "use symlinks instead of renames",
but then the commit itself actually does renames after all.

Maybe we should do the other files too, but for now this just adds the
minimal symlink back to the historical name, so that people looking for
Documentation/Changes will actually find what they are looking for, and
the debian scripts continue to work.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "After a lot of discussion and work we have finally reachanged a basic
  understanding of what is necessary to make unprivileged mounts safe in
  the presence of EVM and IMA xattrs which the last commit in this
  series reflects. While technically it is a revert the comments it adds
  are important for people not getting confused in the future. Clearing
  up that confusion allows us to seriously work on unprivileged mounts
  of fuse in the next development cycle.

  The rest of the fixes in this set are in the intersection of user
  namespaces, ptrace, and exec. I started with the first fix which
  started a feedback cycle of finding additional issues during review
  and fixing them. Culiminating in a fix for a bug that has been present
  since at least Linux v1.0.

  Potentially these fixes were candidates for being merged during the rc
  cycle, and are certainly backport candidates but enough little things
  turned up during review and testing that I decided they should be
  handled as part of the normal development process just to be certain
  there were not any great surprises when it came time to backport some
  of these fixes"

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
 "After the small number of patches for v4.9, we've got a much bigger
  pile for v4.10.

  The bulk of these patches involve a rework of the audit backlog queue
  to enable us to move the netlink multicasting out of the task/thread
  that generates the audit record and into the kernel thread that emits
  the record (just like we do for the audit unicast to auditd).

  While we were playing with the backlog queue(s) we fixed a number of
  other little problems with the code, and from all the testing so far
  things look to be in much better shape now. Doing this also allowed us
  to re-enable disabling IRQs for some netns operations ("netns: avoid
  disabling irq for netns id").

  The remaining patches fix some small problems that are well documented
  in the commit descriptions, as well as adding session ID filtering
  support"

We truncated the possible read iterator to s_maxbytes in commit
c2a9737f ("vfs,mm: fix a dead loop in truncate_inode_pages_range()"),
but our end condition handling was wrong: it's not an error to try to
read at the end of the file.

Reading past the end should return EOF (0), not EINVAL.

See for example

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1649342

where a md5sum of a maximally sized file fails because the final read is
exactly at s_maxbytes.

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
 "No dramatic changes are found in this development cycle, but as usual,
  many commits are applied in a wide range of drivers.

  Most of big changes are in ASoC, where a few bits of framework work

  been done. The rest are usual stuff, a few HD-audio and USB-audio
  quirks and fixes, as well as the drop of kthread usages in the whole
  subsystem.

  Below are some highlights:

  ASoC:
   - support for stereo DAPM controls
   - some initial work on the of-graph sound card
   - regmap conversions of the remaining AC'97 drivers
   - a new version of the topology ABI; this should be backward
     compatible
   - updates / cleanups of rsnd, sunxi, sti, nau8825, samsung, arizona,
     Intel skylake, atom-sst
   - new drivers for Cirrus Logic CS42L42, Qualcomm MSM8916-WCD, and

  USB-audio:
   - yet another race fix at disconnection
   - tolerated packet size calculation for some Android devices
   - quirks for Axe-Fx II, QuickCam, TEAC 501/503

  HD-audio:
   - improvement of Dell pin fixup mapping
   - quirks for HP Z1 Gen3, Alienware 15 R2 2016 and ALC622 headset mic

Resetting audit_sock appears to be racy.

audit_sock was being copied and dereferenced without using a refcount on
the source sock.

Bump the refcount on the underlying sock when we store a refrence in
audit_sock and release it when we reset audit_sock.  audit_sock
modification needs the audit_cmd_mutex.

Sleeping on a command record/message in audit_log_start() could slow
something, e.g. auditd, from doing something important, e.g. clean
shutdown, which could present problems on a heavily loaded system.
This patch allows tasks to bypass any queue restrictions if they are
logging a command record/message.

When auditd stops cleanly it sets 'auditd_pid' to 0 with an
AUDIT_SET message, in this case we should reset our backlog
queues via the auditd_reset() function.  This patch also adds
a 'auditd_pid' check to the top of kauditd_send_unicast_skb()
so we can fail quicker.

The backlog queue handling in audit_log_start() is a little odd with
some questionable design decisions, this patch attempts to rectify
this with the following changes:

* Never make auditd wait, ignore any backlog limits as we need auditd
awake so it can drain the backlog queue.

* When we hit a backlog limit and start dropping records, don't wake
all the tasks sleeping on the backlog, that's silly.  Instead, let
kauditd_thread() take care of waking everyone once it has had a chance
to drain the backlog queue.

* Don't keep a global backlog timeout countdown, make it per-task.  A
per-task timer means we won't have all the sleeping tasks waking at
the same time and hammering on an already stressed backlog queue.
Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul@paul-moore.com>

The audit record backlog queue has always been a bit of a mess, and
the moving the multicast send into kauditd_thread() from
audit_log_end() only makes things worse.  This patch attempts to fix
the backlog queue with a better design that should hold up better
under load and have less of a performance impact at syscall
invocation time.

While it looks like there is a log going on in this patch, the main
change is the move from a single backlog queue to three queues:

* A queue for holding records generated from audit_log_end() that
haven't been consumed by kauditd_thread() (audit_queue).

* A queue for holding records that have been sent via multicast but
had a temporary failure when sending via unicast and need a resend
(audit_retry_queue).

* A queue for holding records that haven't been sent via unicast
because no one is listening (audit_hold_queue).

Special care is taken in this patch to ensure that the proper
record ordering is preserved, e.g. we send everything in the hold
queue first, then the retry queue, and finally the main queue.

The audit queue names can be shortened and the record sending
helpers associated with the kauditd task could be named better, do
these small cleanups now to make life easier once we start reworking
the queues and kauditd code.

Sending audit netlink multicast messages is bad for all the same
reasons that sending audit netlink unicast messages is bad, so this
patch reworks things so that we don't do the multicast send in
audit_log_end(), we do it from the dedicated kauditd_thread thread just
as we do for unicast messages.

Make sure everything is initialized before we start the kauditd_thread
and don't emit the "initialized" record until everything is finished.
We also panic with a descriptive message if we can't start the
kauditd_thread.

Richard made this change some time ago but Eric backed it out because
the rest of the supporting code wasn't ready.  In order to move the
netlink multicast send to kauditd_thread we need to ensure the
kauditd_thread is always running, so restore commit 6ff5e459 ("audit:
move kaudit thread start from auditd registration to kaudit init").

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
 "This merge request includes the dax-4.0-iomap-pmd branch which is
  needed for both ext4 and xfs dax changes to use iomap for DAX. It also
  includes the fscrypt branch which is needed for ubifs encryption work
  as well as ext4 encryption and fscrypt cleanups.

  Lots of cleanups and bug fixes, especially making sure ext4 is robust
  against maliciously corrupted file systems --- especially maliciously
  corrupted xattr blocks and a maliciously corrupted superblock. Also
  fix ext4 support for 64k block sizes so it works well on ppcle. Fixed
  mbcache so we don't miss some common xattr blocks that can be merged"

Commit 4fd06960 ("Use the new x86 setup code for i386") introduced a
reference to the make variable LINUX_INCLUDE. That reference got moved
around a bit and copied twice and now there are three references to it.

There has never been a definition of that variable. (Presumably that is
because it started out as a mistyped reference to LINUXINCLUDE.) So this
reference has always been an empty string. Let's remove it before it
spreads any further.

According to `man blockdev':

  --getsize
         Print device size (32-bit!) in sectors.
         Deprecated in favor of the --getsz option.
  ...
  --getsz
         Get size in 512-byte sectors.

Hence, occurrences of `--getsize' should be replaced with `--getsz',
which this commit has achieved as follows:

  $ git grep -l -e --getsz

This reverts commit 6d31e3ba.

This causes bootup problems for me both on my laptop and my desktop.
What they have in common is that they have NVMe disks with dm-crypt, but
it's not the same controller, so it's not controller-specific.

Jens does not see it on his machine (also NVMe), so it's presumably
something that triggers just on bootup.  Possibly related to dm-crypt
and the fact that I mark my luks volume with "allow-discards" in
/etc/crypttab.

It's 100% repeatable for me, which made it fairly straightforward to
bisect the problem to this commit. Small mercies.

So we don't know what the reason is yet, but the revert is needed to get
things going again.
