Linus Torvalds dcdaa2f948 Merge branch 'stable-4.10' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit
Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
 "After the small number of patches for v4.9, we've got a much bigger
  pile for v4.10.

  The bulk of these patches involve a rework of the audit backlog queue
  to enable us to move the netlink multicasting out of the task/thread
  that generates the audit record and into the kernel thread that emits
  the record (just like we do for the audit unicast to auditd).

  While we were playing with the backlog queue(s) we fixed a number of
  other little problems with the code, and from all the testing so far
  things look to be in much better shape now. Doing this also allowed us
  to re-enable disabling IRQs for some netns operations ("netns: avoid
  disabling irq for netns id").

  The remaining patches fix some small problems that are well documented
  in the commit descriptions, as well as adding session ID filtering
  support"

* 'stable-4.10' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit:
  audit: use proper refcount locking on audit_sock
  netns: avoid disabling irq for netns id
  audit: don't ever sleep on a command record/message
  audit: handle a clean auditd shutdown with grace
  audit: wake up kauditd_thread after auditd registers
  audit: rework audit_log_start()
  audit: rework the audit queue handling
  audit: rename the queues and kauditd related functions
  audit: queue netlink multicast sends just like we do for unicast sends
  audit: fixup audit_init()
  audit: move kaudit thread start from auditd registration to kaudit init (#2)
  audit: add support for session ID user filter
  audit: fix formatting of AUDIT_CONFIG_CHANGE events
  audit: skip sessionid sentinel value when auto-incrementing
  audit: tame initialization warning len_abuf in audit_log_execve_info
  audit: less stack usage for /proc/*/loginuid

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.
