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" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: Revert "evm: Translate user/group ids relative to s_user_ns when computing HMAC" exec: Ensure mm->user_ns contains the execed files ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mm ptrace: Capture the ptracer's creds not PT_PTRACE_CAP mm: Add a user_ns owner to mm_struct and fix ptrace permission checks

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" * 'stable-4.10' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit: audit: use proper refcount locking on audit_sock netns: avoid disabling irq for netns id audit: don't ever sleep on a command record/message audit: handle a clean auditd shutdown with grace audit: wake up kauditd_thread after auditd registers audit: rework audit_log_start() audit: rework the audit queue handling audit: rename the queues and kauditd related functions audit: queue netlink multicast sends just like we do for unicast sends audit: fixup audit_init() audit: move kaudit thread start from auditd registration to kaudit init (#2) audit: add support for session ID user filter audit: fix formatting of AUDIT_CONFIG_CHANGE events audit: skip sessionid sentinel value when auto-incrementing audit: tame initialization warning len_abuf in audit_log_execve_info audit: less stack usage for /proc/*/loginuid

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.

See for example https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1649342 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2016-12/msg00008.html where a md5sum of a maximally sized file fails because the final read is exactly at s_maxbytes.

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.

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.

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.

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" * tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4: (86 commits) dax: Fix sleep in atomic contex in grab_mapping_entry() fscrypt: Rename FS_WRITE_PATH_FL to FS_CTX_HAS_BOUNCE_BUFFER_FL fscrypt: Delay bounce page pool allocation until needed fscrypt: Cleanup page locking requirements for fscrypt_{decrypt,encrypt}_page() fscrypt: Cleanup fscrypt_{decrypt,encrypt}_page() fscrypt: Never allocate fscrypt_ctx on in-place encryption fscrypt: Use correct index in decrypt path. fscrypt: move the policy flags and encryption mode definitions to uapi header fscrypt: move non-public structures and constants to fscrypt_private.h fscrypt: unexport fscrypt_initialize() fscrypt: rename get_crypt_info() to fscrypt_get_crypt_info() fscrypto: move ioctl processing more fully into common code fscrypto: remove unneeded Kconfig dependencies MAINTAINERS: fscrypto: recommend linux-fsdevel for fscrypto patches ext4: do not perform data journaling when data is encrypted ext4: return -ENOMEM instead of success ext4: reject inodes with negative size ext4: remove another test in ext4_alloc_file_blocks() Documentation: fix description of ext4's block_validity mount option ext4: fix checks for data=ordered and journal_async_commit options ...

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.
