Pull smack fix from Casey Schaufler:
 "Provide a fix for the incorrect handling of privilege in the face of
  io_uring's use of kernel threads. That invalidated an long standing
  assumption regarding the privilege of kernel threads.

  The fix is simple and safe. It was provided by Jens Axboe and has been
  tested"

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.
