      fscrypt: add a documentation file for filesystem-level encryption · f4f864c1
      Eric Biggers authored
      Perhaps long overdue, add a documentation file for filesystem-level
      encryption, a.k.a. fscrypt or fs/crypto/, to the Documentation
      directory.  The new file is based loosely on the latest version of the
      "EXT4 Encryption Design Document (public version)" Google Doc, but with
      many improvements made, including:
      
      - Reflect the reality that it is not specific to ext4 anymore.
      - More thoroughly document the design and user-visible API/behavior.
      - Replace outdated information, such as the outdated explanation of how
        encrypted filenames are hashed for indexed directories and how
        encrypted filenames are presented to userspace without the key.
        (This was changed just before release.)
      
      For now the focus is on the design and user-visible API/behavior, not on
      how to add encryption support to a filesystem --- since the internal API
      is still pretty messy and any standalone documentation for it would
      become outdated as things get refactored over time.

         - Avoid dereferencing an unprotected VMA pointer in the fault signal

           which results in excessive extra 'mov %rsp, %<dst>' instructions

      Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
       "This adds a new timer wheel function which is required for the
        conversion of the timer callback function from the 'unsigned long
        data' argument to 'struct timer_list *timer'. This conversion has two
        benefits:
      
         1) It makes struct timer_list smaller
      
         2) Many callers hand in a pointer to the timer or to the structure
            containing the timer, which happens via type casting both at setup
            and in the callback. This change gets rid of the typecasts.
      
        Once the conversion is complete, which is planned for 4.15, the old
        setup function and the intermediate typecast in the new setup function
        go away along with the data field in struct timer_list.
      
        Merging this now into mainline allows a smooth queueing of the actual
        conversion in the affected maintainer trees without creating
        dependencies"

      kernel_waitid() can return a PID, an error or 0.  rusage is filled in the first
      case and waitid(2) rusage should've been copied out exactly in that case, *not*
      whenever kernel_waitid() has not returned an error.  Compat variant shares that
      braino; none of kernel_wait4() callers do, so the below ought to fix it.
