Merge branch 'exec-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

Pull execve updates from Eric Biederman:
 "During the development of v5.7 I ran into bugs and quality of
  implementation issues related to exec that could not be easily fixed
  because of the way exec is implemented. So I have been diggin into
  exec and cleaning up what I can.

  This cycle I have been looking at different ideas and different
  implementations to see what is possible to improve exec, and cleaning
  the way exec interfaces with in kernel users. Only cleaning up the
  interfaces of exec with rest of the kernel has managed to stabalize
  and make it through review in time for v5.9-rc1 resulting in 2 sets of
  changes this cycle.

   - Implement kernel_execve

   - Make the user mode driver code a better citizen

  With kernel_execve the code size got a little larger as the copying of
  parameters from userspace and copying of parameters from userspace is
  now separate. The good news is kernel threads no longer need to play
  games with set_fs to use exec. Which when combined with the rest of
  Christophs set_fs changes should security bugs with set_fs much more
  difficult"
