Merge tag 'for-linus-20190715' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux

Pull pidfd and clone3 fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains a bugfix for CLONE_PIDFD when used with the legacy clone
  syscall, two fixes to ensure that syscall numbering and clone3
  entrypoint implementations will stay consistent, and an update for the
  maintainers file:

   - The addition of clone3 broke CLONE_PIDFD for legacy clone on all
     architectures that use do_fork() directly instead of calling the
     clone syscall itself. (Fwiw, cleaning do_fork() up is on my todo.)

     The reason this happened was that during conversion of _do_fork()
     to use struct kernel_clone_args we missed that do_fork() is called
     directly by various architectures. This is fixed by making sure
     that the pidfd argument in struct kernel_clone_args is correctly
     initialized with the parent_tidptr argument passed down from
     do_fork(). Additionally, do_fork() missed a check to make
     CLONE_PIDFD and CLONE_PARENT_SETTID mutually exclusive just a
     clone() does. This is now fixed too.

   - When clone3() was introduced we skipped architectures that require
     special handling for fork-like syscalls. Their syscall tables did
     not contain any mention of clone3().

     To make sure that Arnd's work to make syscall numbers on all
     architectures identical (minus alpha) was not for naught we are
     placing a comment in all syscall tables that do not yet implement
     clone3(). The comment makes it clear that 435 is reserved for
     clone3 and should not be used.

   - Also, this contains a patch to make the clone3() syscall definition
     in asm-generic/unist.h conditional on __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3. This
     lets us catch new architectures that implicitly make use of clone3
     without setting __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 which is a good indicator
     that they did not check whether it needs special treatment or not.

   - Finally, this contains a patch to add me as maintainer for pidfd
     stuff so people can start blaming me (more)"

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.
