Pull fscrypt updates from Eric Biggers:
"This is a large update to fs/crypto/ which includes:
- Add ioctls that add/remove encryption keys to/from a
filesystem-level keyring.
These fix user-reported issues where e.g. an encrypted home
directory can break NetworkManager, sshd, Docker, etc. because they
don't get access to the needed keyring. These ioctls also provide a
way to lock encrypted directories that doesn't use the
vm.drop_caches sysctl, so is faster, more reliable, and doesn't
always need root.
- Add a new encryption policy version ("v2") which switches to a more
standard, secure, and flexible key derivation function, and starts
verifying that the correct key was supplied before using it.
The key derivation improvement is needed for its own sake as well
as for ongoing feature work for which the current way is too
inflexible.
Work is in progress to update both Android and the 'fscrypt' userspace
tool to use both these features. (Working patches are available and
just need to be reviewed+merged.) Chrome OS will likely use them too.
This has also been tested on ext4, f2fs, and ubifs with xfstests --
both the existing encryption tests, and the new tests for this. This
has also been in linux-next since Aug 16 with no reported issues. I'm
also using an fscrypt v2-encrypted home directory on my personal
desktop"

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.
