Linus Torvalds 03b652e5c0 Merge branch 'fixes-v4.14-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
Pull key handling fixes from James Morris:
 "This includes a fix for the capabilities code from Colin King, and a
  set of further fixes for the keys subsystem. From David:

   - Fix a bunch of places where kernel drivers may access revoked
     user-type keys and don't do it correctly.

   - Fix some ecryptfs bits.

   - Fix big_key to require CONFIG_CRYPTO.

   - Fix a couple of bugs in the asymmetric key type.

   - Fix a race between updating and finding negative keys.

   - Prevent add_key() from updating uninstantiated keys.

   - Make loading of key flags and expiry time atomic when not holding
     locks"

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
