Pull SELinux updates from Paul Moore:
"Six SELinux patches, all are simple and easily understood, but a list
of the highlights is below:
- Use 'grep -E' instead of 'egrep' in the SELinux policy install
script.
Fun fact, this seems to be GregKH's *second* dedicated SELinux
patch since we transitioned to git (ignoring merges, the SPDX
stuff, and a trivial fs reference removal when lustre was yanked);
the first was back in 2011 when selinuxfs was placed in
/sys/fs/selinux. Oh, the memories ...
- Convert the SELinux policy boolean values to use signed integer
types throughout the SELinux kernel code.
Prior to this we were using a mix of signed and unsigned integers
which was probably okay in this particular case, but it is
definitely not a good idea in general.
- Remove a reference to the SELinux runtime disable functionality in
/etc/selinux/config as we are in the process of deprecating that.
See [1] for more background on this if you missed the previous
notes on the deprecation.
- Minor cleanups: remove unneeded variables and function parameter
constification"

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.
