Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

Pull user namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This finishes up the changes to ensure proc and sysfs do not start
  implementing executable files, as the there are application today that
  are only secure because such files do not exist.

  It akso fixes a long standing misfeature of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo that
  did not show the proper source for files bind mounted from
  /proc/<pid>/ns/*.

  It also straightens out the handling of clone flags related to user
  namespaces, fixing an unnecessary failure of unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER)
  when files such as /proc/<pid>/environ are read while <pid> is calling
  unshare.  This winds up fixing a minor bug in unshare flag handling
  that dates back to the first version of unshare in the kernel.

  Finally, this fixes a minor regression caused by the introduction of
  sysfs_create_mount_point, which broke someone's in house application,
  by restoring the size of /sys/fs/cgroup to 0 bytes.  Apparently that
  application uses the directory size to determine if a tmpfs is mounted
  on /sys/fs/cgroup.

  The bind mount escape fixes are present in Al Viros for-next branch.
  and I expect them to come from there.  The bind mount escape is the
  last of the user namespace related security bugs that I am aware of"
