Pull safesetid updates from Micah Morton:
"These changes from Jann Horn fix a couple issues in the recently added
SafeSetID LSM:
- There was a simple logic bug in one of the hooks for the LSM where
the code was incorrectly returning early in some cases before all
security checks had been passed.
- There was a more high level issue with how this LSM gets configured
that could allow for a program to bypass the security restrictions
by switching to an allowed UID and then again to any other UID on
the system if the target UID of the first transition is
unconstrained on the system. Luckily this is an easy fix that we
now enforce at the time the LSM gets configured.
There are also some changes from Jann that make policy updates for
this LSM atomic. Kees Cook, Jann and myself have reviewed these
changes and they look good from our point of view"

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.
