Pull ucounts fix from Eric Biederman: "This fixes the ucount sysctls on big endian architectures. The counts were expanded to be longs instead of ints, and the sysctl code was overlooked, so only the low 32bit were being processed. On litte endian just processing the low 32bits is fine, but on 64bit big endian processing just the low 32bits results in the high order bits instead of the low order bits being processed and nothing works proper. This change took a little bit to mature as we have the SYSCTL_ZERO, and SYSCTL_INT_MAX macros that are only usable for sysctls operating on ints, but unfortunately are not obviously broken. Which resulted in the versions of this change working on big endian and not on little endian, because the int SYSCTL_ZERO when extended 64bit wound up being 0x100000000. So we only allowed values greater than 0x100000000 and less than 0faff. Which unfortunately broken everything that tried to set the sysctls. (First reported with the windows subsystem for linux). I have tested this on x86_64 64bit after first reproducing the problems with the earlier version of this change, and then verifying the problems do not exist when we use appropriate long min and max values for extra1 and extra2" * 'for-v5.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: ucounts: add missing data type changes |

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.
