Pull pidfd fork() fix from Christian Brauner: "A single small fix for copy_process() in kernel/fork.c: With Al's removal of ksys_close() from cleanup paths in copy_process() a bug was introduced. When anon_inode_getfile() failed the cleanup was correctly performed but the error code was not propagated to callers of copy_process() causing them to operate on a nonsensical pointer. The fix is a simple on-liner which makes sure that a proper negative error code is returned from copy_process(). syzkaller has also verified that the bug is not reproducible with this fix" * tag 'for-linus-20190701' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: fork: return proper negative error code
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.
