Pull d_name audit update from Al Viro:
"Simplifying ->d_name audits, easy part.
Turn dentry->d_name into an anon union of const struct qsrt (d_name
itself) and a writable alias (__d_name).
With constification of some struct qstr * arguments of functions that
get &dentry->d_name passed to them, that ends up with all
modifications provably done only in fs/dcache.c (and a fairly small
part of it).
Any new places doing modifications will be easy to find - grep for
__d_name will suffice"
* tag 'pull-qstr' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
make it easier to catch those who try to modify ->d_name
generic_ci_validate_strict_name(): constify name argument
afs_dir_search: constify qstr argument
afs_edit_dir_{add,remove}(): constify qstr argument
exfat_find(): constify qstr argument
security_dentry_init_security(): constify qstr argument
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.
