Pull overlayfs cred guard conversion from Christian Brauner:
 "This converts all of overlayfs to use credential guards, eliminating
  manual credential management throughout the filesystem.

  Credential guard conversion:

   - Convert all of overlayfs to use credential guards, replacing the
     manual ovl_override_creds()/ovl_revert_creds() pattern with scoped
     guards.

     This makes credential handling visually explicit and eliminates a
     class of potential bugs from mismatched override/revert calls.

     (1) Basic credential guard (with_ovl_creds)
     (2) Creator credential guard (ovl_override_creator_creds):

         Introduced a specialized guard for file creation operations
         that handles the two-phase credential override (mounter
         credentials, then fs{g,u}id override). The new pattern is much
         clearer:

         with_ovl_creds(dentry->d_sb) {
                 scoped_class(prepare_creds_ovl, cred, dentry, inode, mode) {
                         if (IS_ERR(cred))
                                 return PTR_ERR(cred);
                         /* creation operations */
                 }
         }

     (3) Copy-up credential guard (ovl_cu_creds):

         Introduced a specialized guard for copy-up operations,
         simplifying the previous struct ovl_cu_creds helper and
         associated functions.

         Ported ovl_copy_up_workdir() and ovl_copy_up_tmpfile() to this
         pattern.

  Cleanups:

   - Remove ovl_revert_creds() after all callers converted to guards

   - Remove struct ovl_cu_creds and associated functions

   - Drop ovl_setup_cred_for_create() after conversion

   - Refactor ovl_fill_super(), ovl_lookup(), ovl_iterate(),
     ovl_rename() for cleaner credential guard scope

   - Introduce struct ovl_renamedata to simplify rename handling

   - Don't override credentials for ovl_check_whiteouts() (unnecessary)

   - Remove unneeded semicolon"

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 reStructuredText 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.
