Linus Torvalds 95d3652eec Merge branch 'fixes-v4.14-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
Pull keys fixes from James Morris:
 "Notable here is a rewrite of big_key crypto by Jason Donenfeld to
  address some issues in the original code.

  From Jason's commit log:
   "This started out as just replacing the use of crypto/rng with
    get_random_bytes_wait, so that we wouldn't use bad randomness at
    boot time. But, upon looking further, it appears that there were
    even deeper underlying cryptographic problems, and that this seems
    to have been committed with very little crypto review. So, I rewrote
    the whole thing, trying to keep to the conventions introduced by the
    previous author, to fix these cryptographic flaws."

  There has been positive review of the new code by Eric Biggers and
  Herbert Xu, and it passes basic testing via the keyutils test suite.
  Eric also manually tested it.

  Generally speaking, we likely need to improve the amount of crypto
  review for kernel crypto users including keys (I'll post a note
  separately to ksummit-discuss)"

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.
