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

Pull exec/proc updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This contains two significant pieces of work: the work to sort out
  proc_flush_task, and the work to solve a deadlock between strace and
  exec.

  Fixing proc_flush_task so that it no longer requires a persistent
  mount makes improvements to proc possible. The removal of the
  persistent mount solves an old regression that that caused the hidepid
  mount option to only work on remount not on mount. The regression was
  found and reported by the Android folks. This further allows Alexey
  Gladkov's work making proc mount options specific to an individual
  mount of proc to move forward.

  The work on exec starts solving a long standing issue with exec that
  it takes mutexes of blocking userspace applications, which makes exec
  extremely deadlock prone. For the moment this adds a second mutex with
  a narrower scope that handles all of the easy cases. Which makes the
  tricky cases easy to spot. With a little luck the code to solve those
  deadlocks will be ready by next merge window"
