<content type='text'>
In commit fa8b90070a80 ("quota: wire up quotactl_path") we have wired up
new quotactl_path syscall. However some people in LWN discussion have
objected that the path based syscall is missing dirfd and flags argument
which is mostly standard for contemporary path based syscalls. Indeed
they have a point and after a discussion with Christian Brauner and
Sascha Hauer I've decided to disable the syscall for now and update its
API. Since there is no userspace currently using that syscall and it
hasn't been released in any major release, we should be fine.

Pull Landlock LSM from James Morris:
 "Add Landlock, a new LSM from Mickaël Salaün.

  Briefly, Landlock provides for unprivileged application sandboxing.

  From Mickaël's cover letter:
    "The goal of Landlock is to enable to restrict ambient rights (e.g.
     global filesystem access) for a set of processes. Because Landlock
     is a stackable LSM [1], it makes possible to create safe security
     sandboxes as new security layers in addition to the existing
     system-wide access-controls. This kind of sandbox is expected to
     help mitigate the security impact of bugs or unexpected/malicious
     behaviors in user-space applications. Landlock empowers any
     process, including unprivileged ones, to securely restrict
     themselves.

     Landlock is inspired by seccomp-bpf but instead of filtering
     syscalls and their raw arguments, a Landlock rule can restrict the
     use of kernel objects like file hierarchies, according to the
     kernel semantic. Landlock also takes inspiration from other OS
     sandbox mechanisms: XNU Sandbox, FreeBSD Capsicum or OpenBSD
     Pledge/Unveil.

     In this current form, Landlock misses some access-control features.
     This enables to minimize this patch series and ease review. This
     series still addresses multiple use cases, especially with the
     combined use of seccomp-bpf: applications with built-in sandboxing,
     init systems, security sandbox tools and security-oriented APIs [2]"

  The cover letter and v34 posting is here:

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Evaluate $(call cc-option,...) etc. only for build targets

 - Add CONFIG_VMLINUX_MAP to generate .map file when linking vmlinux

 - Remove unnecessary --gcc-toolchains Clang flag because the --prefix
   flag finds the toolchains

 - Do not pass Clang's --prefix flag when using the integrated as

 - Check the assembler version in Kconfig time

 - Add new CONFIG options, AS_VERSION, AS_IS_GNU, AS_IS_LLVM to clean up
   some dependencies in Kconfig

 - Fix invalid Module.symvers creation when building only modules
   without vmlinux

 - Fix false-positive modpost warnings when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is
   set, but there is no module to build

 - Refactor module installation Makefile

 - Support zstd for module compression

 - Convert alpha and ia64 to use generic shell scripts to generate the
   syscall headers

 - Add a new elfnote to indicate if the kernel was built with LTO, which
   will be used by pahole

 - Flatten the directory structure under include/config/ so CONFIG

Pull io_uring thread rewrite from Jens Axboe:
 "This converts the io-wq workers to be forked off the tasks in question
  instead of being kernel threads that assume various bits of the
  original task identity.

  This kills &gt; 400 lines of code from io_uring/io-wq, and it's the worst
  part of the code. We've had several bugs in this area, and the worry
  is always that we could be missing some pieces for file types doing
  unusual things (recent /dev/tty example comes to mind, userfaultfd
  reads installing file descriptors is another fun one... - both of
  which need special handling, and I bet it's not the last weird oddity
  we'll find).

  With these identical workers, we can have full confidence that we're
  never missing anything. That, in itself, is a huge win. Outside of
  that, it's also more efficient since we're not wasting space and code
  on tracking state, or switching between different states.

  I'm sure we're going to find little things to patch up after this
  series, but testing has been pretty thorough, from the usual
  regression suite to production. Any issue that may crop up should be
  manageable.

  There's also a nice series of further reductions we can do on top of
  this, but I wanted to get the meat of it out sooner rather than later.
  The general worry here isn't that it's fundamentally broken. Most of
  the little issues we've found over the last week have been related to
  just changes in how thread startup/exit is done, since that's the main
  difference between using kthreads and these kinds of threads. In fact,
  if all goes according to plan, I want to get this into the 5.10 and
  5.11 stable branches as well.

  That said, the changes outside of io_uring/io-wq are:

   - arch setup, simple one-liner to each arch copy_thread()
     implementation.

   - Removal of net and proc restrictions for io_uring, they are no
     longer needed or useful"
