Pull misc keyring updates from David Howells:
"These are some miscellaneous keyrings fixes and improvements:
- Fix a bunch of warnings from sparse, including missing RCU bits and
kdoc-function argument mismatches
- Implement a keyctl to allow a key to be moved from one keyring to
another, with the option of prohibiting key replacement in the
destination keyring.
- Grant Link permission to possessors of request_key_auth tokens so
that upcall servicing daemons can more easily arrange things such
that only the necessary auth key is passed to the actual service
program, and not all the auth keys a daemon might possesss.
- Improvement in lookup_user_key().
- Implement a keyctl to allow keyrings subsystem capabilities to be
queried.
The keyutils next branch has commits to make available, document and
test the move-key and capabilities code:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/keyutils.git/log
They're currently on the 'next' branch"

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.
