Merge tag 'kernel.sys.v5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux

Pull set_user()  update from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains a single fix to set_user() which aligns permission
  checks with the corresponding fork() codepath. No one involved in this
  could come up with a reason for the difference.

  A capable caller can already circumvent the check when they fork where
  the permission checks are already for the relevant capabilities in
  addition to also allowing to exceed nproc when it is the init user.

  So apply the same logic to set_user()"

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.
