Pull fs-verity support from Eric Biggers:
 "fs-verity is a filesystem feature that provides Merkle tree based
  hashing (similar to dm-verity) for individual readonly files, mainly
  for the purpose of efficient authenticity verification.

  This pull request includes:

   (a) The fs/verity/ support layer and documentation.

   (b) fs-verity support for ext4 and f2fs.

  Compared to the original fs-verity patchset from last year, the UAPI
  to enable fs-verity on a file has been greatly simplified. Lots of
  other things were cleaned up too.

  fs-verity is planned to be used by two different projects on Android;
  most of the userspace code is in place already. Another userspace tool
  ("fsverity-utils"), and xfstests, are also available. e2fsprogs and
  f2fs-tools already have fs-verity support. Other people have shown
  interest in using fs-verity too.

  I've tested this on ext4 and f2fs with xfstests, both the existing
  tests and the new fs-verity tests. This has also been in linux-next
  since July 30 with no reported issues except a couple minor ones I
  found myself and folded in fixes for.

  Ted and I will be co-maintaining fs-verity"

EROFS filesystem has been merged into linux-staging for a year.

EROFS is designed to be a better solution of saving extra storage
space with guaranteed end-to-end performance for read-only files
with the help of reduced metadata, fixed-sized output compression
and decompression inplace technologies.

In the past year, EROFS was greatly improved by many people as
a staging driver, self-tested, betaed by a large number of our
internal users, successfully applied to almost all in-service
HUAWEI smartphones as the part of EMUI 9.1 and proven to be stable
enough to be moved out of staging.

EROFS is a self-contained filesystem driver. Although there are
still some TODOs to be more generic, we have a dedicated team
actively keeping on working on EROFS in order to make it better
with the evolution of Linux kernel as the other in-kernel filesystems.

As Pavel suggested, it's better to do as one commit since git
can do moves and all histories will be saved in this way.

Let's promote it from staging and enhance it more actively as
a "real" part of kernel for more wider scenarios!

Add the beginnings of the fs/verity/ support layer, including the
Kconfig option and various helper functions for hashing.  To start, only
SHA-256 is supported, but other hash algorithms can easily be added.

CONFIG_VALIDATE_FS_PARSER is a debugging tool to check that the parser
tables are vaguely sane.  It was set to default to 'Y' for the moment to
catch errors in upcoming fs conversion development.

Make sure it is not enabled by default in the final release of v5.1.

<title>unicode: introduce UTF-8 character database</title>
<updated>2019-04-25T17:38:44+00:00</updated>

<id>955405d1174eebcd1b89ab335f720adc27d52b67</id>
<content type='text'>
The decomposition and casefolding of UTF-8 characters are described in a
prefix tree in utf8data.h, which is a generate from the Unicode
Character Database (UCD), published by the Unicode Consortium, and
should not be edited by hand.  The structures in utf8data.h are meant to
be used for lookup operations by the unicode subsystem, when decoding a
utf-8 string.

mkutf8data.c is the source for a program that generates utf8data.h. It
was written by Olaf Weber from SGI and originally proposed to be merged
into Linux in 2014.  The original proposal performed the compatibility
decomposition, NFKD, but the current version was modified by me to do
canonical decomposition, NFD, as suggested by the community.  The
changes from the original submission are:

  * Rebase to mainline.
  * Fix out-of-tree-build.
  * Update makefile to build 11.0.0 ucd files.
  * drop references to xfs.
  * Convert NFKD to NFD.
  * Merge back robustness fixes from original patch. Requested by
    Dave Chinner.

The original submission is archived at:

&lt;https://linux-xfs.oss.sgi.narkive.com/Xx10wjVY/rfc-unicode-utf-8-support-for-xfs&gt;

The utf8data.h file can be regenerated using the instructions in
fs/unicode/README.utf8data.

- Notes on the update from 8.0.0 to 11.0:

The structure of the ucd files and special cases have not experienced
any changes between versions 8.0.0 and 11.0.0.  8.0.0 saw the addition
of Cherokee LC characters, which is an interesting case for
case-folding.  The update is accompanied by new tests on the test_ucd
module to catch specific cases.  No changes to mkutf8data script were
required for the updates.

Pull vfs mount infrastructure updates from Al Viro:

  old parts are switched to new infrastructure. At that point
  conversions of individual filesystems can happen independently; some
  are done here (afs, cgroup, procfs, etc.), there's also a large series
  outside of that pile dealing with NFS (quite a bit of option-parsing
  stuff is getting used there - it's one of the most convoluted
  filesystems in terms of mount-related logics), but NFS bits are the
  next cycle fodder.

  It got seriously simplified since the last cycle; documentation is
  probably the weakest bit at the moment - I considered dropping the
  commit introducing Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt (cutting
  the size increase by quarter ;-), but decided that it would be better
  to fix it up after -rc1 instead.

  That pile allows to do followup work in independent branches, which
  should make life much easier for the next cycle. fs/super.c size
  increase is unpleasant; there's a followup series that allows to
  shrink it considerably, but I decided to leave that until the next
  cycle"

Because the new API passes in key,value parameters, match_token() cannot be
used with it.  Instead, provide three new helpers to aid with parsing:

 (1) fs_parse().  This takes a parameter and a simple static description of
     all the parameters and maps the key name to an ID.  It returns 1 on a
     match, 0 on no match if unknowns should be ignored and some other
     negative error code on a parse error.

     The parameter description includes a list of key names to IDs, desired
     parameter types and a list of enumeration name -&gt; ID mappings.

     [!] Note that for the moment I've required that the key-&gt;ID mapping
     array is expected to be sorted and unterminated.  The size of the
     array is noted in the fsconfig_parser struct.  This allows me to use
     bsearch(), but I'm not sure any performance gain is worth the hassle
     of requiring people to keep the array sorted.

     The parameter type array is sized according to the number of parameter
     IDs and is indexed directly.  The optional enum mapping array is an
     unterminated, unsorted list and the size goes into the fsconfig_parser
     struct.

     The function can do some additional things:

	(a) If it's not ambiguous and no value is given, the prefix "no" on
	    a key name is permitted to indicate that the parameter should
	    be considered negatory.

	(b) If the desired type is a single simple integer, it will perform
	    an appropriate conversion and store the result in a union in
	    the parse result.

	(c) If the desired type is an enumeration, {key ID, name} will be
	    looked up in the enumeration list and the matching value will
	    be stored in the parse result union.

	(d) Optionally generate an error if the key is unrecognised.

     This is called something like:

	enum rdt_param {
		Opt_cdp,
		Opt_cdpl2,
		Opt_mba_mpbs,
		nr__rdt_params
	};

	const struct fs_parameter_spec rdt_param_specs[nr__rdt_params] = {
		[Opt_cdp]	= { fs_param_is_bool },
		[Opt_cdpl2]	= { fs_param_is_bool },
		[Opt_mba_mpbs]	= { fs_param_is_bool },
	};

	const const char *const rdt_param_keys[nr__rdt_params] = {
		[Opt_cdp]	= "cdp",
		[Opt_cdpl2]	= "cdpl2",
		[Opt_mba_mpbs]	= "mba_mbps",
	};

	const struct fs_parameter_description rdt_parser = {
		.name		= "rdt",
		.nr_params	= nr__rdt_params,
		.keys		= rdt_param_keys,
		.specs		= rdt_param_specs,
		.no_source	= true,
	};

	int rdt_parse_param(struct fs_context *fc,
			    struct fs_parameter *param)
	{
		struct fs_parse_result parse;
		struct rdt_fs_context *ctx = rdt_fc2context(fc);
		int ret;

		ret = fs_parse(fc, &amp;rdt_parser, param, &amp;parse);
		if (ret &lt; 0)
			return ret;

		switch (parse.key) {
		case Opt_cdp:
			ctx-&gt;enable_cdpl3 = true;
			return 0;
		case Opt_cdpl2:
			ctx-&gt;enable_cdpl2 = true;
			return 0;
		case Opt_mba_mpbs:
			ctx-&gt;enable_mba_mbps = true;
			return 0;
		}

		return -EINVAL;
	}

 (2) fs_lookup_param().  This takes a { dirfd, path, LOOKUP_EMPTY? } or
     string value and performs an appropriate path lookup to convert it
     into a path object, which it will then return.

     If the desired type was a blockdev, the type of the looked up inode
     will be checked to make sure it is one.

     This can be used like:

	enum foo_param {
		Opt_source,
		nr__foo_params
	};

	const struct fs_parameter_spec foo_param_specs[nr__foo_params] = {
		[Opt_source]	= { fs_param_is_blockdev },
	};

	const char *char foo_param_keys[nr__foo_params] = {
		[Opt_source]	= "source",
	};

	const struct constant_table foo_param_alt_keys[] = {
		{ "device",	Opt_source },
	};

	const struct fs_parameter_description foo_parser = {
		.name		= "foo",
		.nr_params	= nr__foo_params,
		.nr_alt_keys	= ARRAY_SIZE(foo_param_alt_keys),
		.keys		= foo_param_keys,
		.alt_keys	= foo_param_alt_keys,
		.specs		= foo_param_specs,
	};

	int foo_parse_param(struct fs_context *fc,
			    struct fs_parameter *param)
	{
		struct fs_parse_result parse;
		struct foo_fs_context *ctx = foo_fc2context(fc);
		int ret;

		ret = fs_parse(fc, &amp;foo_parser, param, &amp;parse);
		if (ret &lt; 0)
			return ret;

		switch (parse.key) {
		case Opt_source:
			return fs_lookup_param(fc, &amp;foo_parser, param,
					       &amp;parse, &amp;ctx-&gt;source);
		default:
			return -EINVAL;
		}
	}

 (3) lookup_constant().  This takes a table of named constants and looks up
     the given name within it.  The table is expected to be sorted such
     that bsearch() be used upon it.

     Possibly I should require the table be terminated and just use a
     for-loop to scan it instead of using bsearch() to reduce hassle.

     Tables look something like:

	static const struct constant_table bool_names[] = {
		{ "0",		false },
		{ "1",		true },
		{ "false",	false },
		{ "no",		false },
		{ "true",	true },
		{ "yes",	true },
	};

     and a lookup is done with something like:

	b = lookup_constant(bool_names, param-&gt;string, -1);

Additionally, optional validation routines for the parameter description
are provided that can be enabled at compile time.  A later patch will
invoke these when a filesystem is registered.

<title>autofs: remove left-over autofs4 stubs</title>

There's no need to retain the fs/autofs4 directory for backward
compatibility.

Adding an AUTOFS4_FS fragment to the autofs Kconfig and a module alias
for autofs4 is sufficient for almost all cases. Not keeping fs/autofs4
remnants will prevent "insmod &lt;path&gt;/autofs4/autofs4.ko" from working
but this shouldn't be used in automation scripts rather than
modprobe(8).

There were some comments about things to look out for with the module
rename in the fs/autofs4/Kconfig that is removed by this patch, see the
commit patch if you are interested.

One potential problem with this change is that when the
fs/autofs/Kconfig fragment for AUTOFS4_FS is removed any AUTOFS4_FS
entries will be removed from the kernel config, resulting in no autofs
file system being built if there is no AUTOFS_FS entry also.

This would have also happened if the fs/autofs4 remnants had remained
and is most likely to be a problem with automated builds.

Please check your build configurations before the removal which will
occur after the next couple of kernel releases.
