Merge tag 'vfs-7.3-rc1.failfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull failfs filesystem from Christian Brauner: "Add failfs and expose a FD_FAILFS_ROOT sentinel. This allows userspace to shed their filesystem state completely. A process with its root or working directory in failfs must anchor every path lookup at an explicit file descriptor. Absolute paths, absolute symlinks and AT_FDCWD-relative lookups simply fail. Failfs is the counterpart to nullfs. nullfs says adds a permanently empty, immutable directory whose lookups fail with ENOENT but which can be opened, read, stat'd and mounted upon. Failfs on the other hand fails every operation. The root cannot be opened at all. A single instance is mounted during early boot via kern_mount(), which makes it logically distinct from every mount namespace. This is accompanied by a new fchroot() system call which makes chrooting via a file descriptor a first class concept. It's possible to chroot into failfs as an unprivileged user provided the task has no new privileges set" * tag 'vfs-7.3-rc1.failfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: Documentation: add failfs documentation selftests/filesystems: add failfs selftests arch: hookup fchroot() system call fs: support FD_FAILFS_ROOT in fchroot() fs: add fchroot() fs: support FD_FAILFS_ROOT in fchdir() fs: add failfs
