commit e60feb445fce9e51c1558a6aa7faf9dd5ded533b upstream.

If you already have an inode and need to update the time on the inode
there is no way to do this properly.  Export this helper to allow file
systems to update time on the inode so the appropriate handler is
called, either -&gt;update_time or generic_update_time.

Pull MAP_DENYWRITE removal from David Hildenbrand:
 "Remove all in-tree usage of MAP_DENYWRITE from the kernel and remove
  VM_DENYWRITE.

  There are some (minor) user-visible changes:

   - We no longer deny write access to shared libaries loaded via legacy
     uselib(); this behavior matches modern user space e.g. dlopen().

   - We no longer deny write access to the elf interpreter after exec
     completed, treating it just like shared libraries (which it often
     is).

   - We always deny write access to the file linked via /proc/pid/exe:
     sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP/EXE_FILE) will fail if write access to the
     file cannot be denied, and write access to the file will remain
     denied until the link is effectivel gone (exec, termination,
     sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP/EXE_FILE)) -- just as if exec'ing the file.

  Cross-compiled for a bunch of architectures (alpha, microblaze, i386,
  s390x, ...) and verified via ltp that especially the relevant tests
  (i.e., creat07 and execve04) continue working as expected"

* tag 'denywrite-for-5.15' of git://github.com/davidhildenbrand/linux:
  fs: update documentation of get_write_access() and friends
  mm: ignore MAP_DENYWRITE in ksys_mmap_pgoff()

Pull overlayfs update from Miklos Szeredi:

 - Copy up immutable/append/sync/noatime attributes (Amir Goldstein)

 - Improve performance by enabling RCU lookup.

 - Misc fixes and improvements

The reason this touches so many files is that the -&gt;get_acl() method now
gets a "bool rcu" argument.  The -&gt;get_acl() API was updated based on
comments from Al and Linus:

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "The highlights of this round are integrations with fs-verity and
  idmapped mounts, the rest is usual mix of minor improvements, speedups
  and cleanups.

  There are some patches outside of btrfs, namely updating some VFS
  interfaces, all straightforward and acked.

  Features:

   - fs-verity support, using standard ioctls, backward compatible with
     read-only limitation on inodes with previously enabled fs-verity

   - idmapped mount support

   - make mount with rescue=ibadroots more tolerant to partially damaged
     trees

   - allow raid0 on a single device and raid10 on two devices,
     degenerate cases but might be useful as an intermediate step during
     conversion to other profiles

   - zoned mode block group auto reclaim can be disabled via sysfs knob

  Performance improvements:

   - continue readahead of node siblings even if target node is in
     memory, could speed up full send (on sample test +11%)

   - batching of delayed items can speed up creating many files

   - fsync/tree-log speedups
       - avoid unnecessary work (gains +2% throughput, -2% run time on
         sample load)
       - reduced lock contention on renames (on dbench +4% throughput,
         up to -30% latency)

  Fixes:

   - various zoned mode fixes

   - preemptive flushing threshold tuning, avoid excessive work on
     almost full filesystems

  Core:

   - continued subpage support, preparation for implementing remaining
     features like compression and defragmentation; with some
     limitations, write is now enabled on 64K page systems with 4K
     sectors, still considered experimental
       - no readahead on compressed reads
       - inline extents disabled
       - disabled raid56 profile conversion and mount

   - improved flushing logic, fixing early ENOSPC on some workloads

   - inode flags have been internally split to read-only and read-write
     incompat bit parts, used by fs-verity

   - new tree items for fs-verity
       - descriptor item
       - Merkle tree item

   - inode operations extended to be namespace-aware

   - cleanups and refactoring

  Generic code changes:

   - fs: new export filemap_fdatawrite_wbc

   - fs: removed sync_inode

   - block: bio_trim argument type fixups

   - vfs: add namespace-aware lookup"
