Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and individual fs

  Features:

   - Use mode 0600 for file created by cachefilesd so it can be run by
     unprivileged users. This aligns them with directories which are
     already created with mode 0700 by cachefilesd

   - Reorder a few members in struct file to prevent some false sharing
     scenarios

   - Indicate that an eventfd is used a semaphore in the eventfd's
     fdinfo procfs file

   - Add a missing uapi header for eventfd exposing relevant uapi
     defines

   - Let the VFS protect transitions of a superblock from read-only to
     read-write in addition to the protection it already provides for
     transitions from read-write to read-only. Protecting read-only to
     read-write transitions allows filesystems such as ext4 to perform
     internal writes, keeping writers away until the transition is
     completed

  Cleanups:

   - Arnd removed the architecture specific arch_report_meminfo()
     prototypes and added a generic one into procfs.h. Note, we got a
     report about a warning in amdpgpu codepaths that suggested this was
     bisectable to this change but we concluded it was a false positive

   - Remove unused parameters from split_fs_names()

   - Rename put_and_unmap_page() to unmap_and_put_page() to let the name
     reflect the order of the cleanup operation that has to unmap before
     the actual put

   - Unexport buffer_check_dirty_writeback() as it is not used outside
     of block device aops

   - Stop allocating aio rings from highmem

   - Protecting read-{only,write} transitions in the VFS used open-coded
     barriers in various places. Replace them with proper little helpers
     and document both the helpers and all barrier interactions involved
     when transitioning between read-{only,write} states

   - Use flexible array members in old readdir codepaths

  Fixes:

   - Use the correct type __poll_t for epoll and eventfd

   - Replace all deprecated strlcpy() invocations, whose return value
     isn't checked with an equivalent strscpy() call

   - Fix some kernel-doc warnings in fs/open.c

   - Reduce the stack usage in jffs2's xattr codepaths finally getting
     rid of this: fs/jffs2/xattr.c:887:1: error: the frame size of 1088
     bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
     royally annoying compilation warning

   - Use __FMODE_NONOTIFY instead of FMODE_NONOTIFY where an int and not
     fmode_t is required to avoid fmode_t to integer degradation
     warnings

   - Create coredumps with O_WRONLY instead of O_RDWR. There's a long
     explanation in that commit how O_RDWR is actually a bug which we
     found out with the help of Linus and git archeology

   - Fix "no previous prototype" warnings in the pipe codepaths

   - Add overflow calculations for remap_verify_area() as a signed
     addition overflow could be triggered in xfstests

   - Fix a null pointer dereference in sysv

   - Use an unsigned variable for length calculations in jfs avoiding
     compilation warnings with gcc 13

   - Fix a dangling pipe pointer in the watch queue codepath

   - The legacy mount option parser provided as a fallback by the VFS
     for filesystems not yet converted to the new mount api did prefix
     the generated mount option string with a leading ',' causing issues
     for some filesystems

   - Fix a repeated word in a comment in fs.h

   - autofs: Update the ctime when mtime is updated as mandated by
     POSIX"

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
