Pull audit fixes from Paul Moore:
"Two fixes for problems found by syzbot:
- Moving audit filter structure fields into a union caused some
problems in the code which populates that filter structure.
We keep the union (that idea is a good one), but we are fixing the
code so that it doesn't needlessly set fields in the union and mess
up the error handling.
- The audit_receive_msg() function wasn't validating user input as
well as it should in all cases, we add the necessary checks"
* tag 'audit-pr-20200226' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/audit:
audit: always check the netlink payload length in audit_receive_msg()
audit: fix error handling in audit_data_to_entry()
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
