Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
"Six audit patches, the highlights are:
- Add an explicit cond_resched() call when generating PATH records
Certain tracefs/debugfs operations can generate a *lot* of audit
PATH entries and if one has an aggressive system configuration (not
the default) this can cause a soft lockup in the audit code as it
works to process all of these new entries.
This is in sharp contrast to the common case where only one or two
PATH entries are logged. In order to fix this corner case without
excessively impacting the common case we're adding a single
cond_rescued() call between two of the most intensive loops in the
__audit_inode_child() function.
- Various minor cleanups
We removed a conditional header file as the included header already
had the necessary logic in place, fixed a dummy function's return
value, and the usual collection of checkpatch.pl noise (whitespace,
brace, and trailing statement tweaks)"

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.
