* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/security-testing-2.6: (105 commits) SELinux: don't check permissions for kernel mounts security: pass mount flags to security_sb_kern_mount() SELinux: correctly detect proc filesystems of the form "proc/foo" Audit: Log TIOCSTI user namespaces: document CFS behavior user namespaces: require cap_set{ug}id for CLONE_NEWUSER user namespaces: let user_ns be cloned with fairsched CRED: fix sparse warnings User namespaces: use the current_user_ns() macro User namespaces: set of cleanups (v2) nfsctl: add headers for credentials coda: fix creds reference capabilities: define get_vfs_caps_from_disk when file caps are not enabled CRED: Allow kernel services to override LSM settings for task actions CRED: Add a kernel_service object class to SELinux CRED: Differentiate objective and effective subjective credentials on a task CRED: Documentation CRED: Use creds in file structs CRED: Prettify commoncap.c CRED: Make execve() take advantage of copy-on-write credentials ...
