Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

Pull third pile of VFS updates from Al Viro:
 "Stuff from Jeff Layton, mostly.  Sanitizing interplay between audit
  and namei, removing a lot of insanity from audit_inode() mess and
  getting things ready for his ESTALE patchset."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  procfs: don't need a PATH_MAX allocation to hold a string representation of an int
  vfs: embed struct filename inside of names_cache allocation if possible
  audit: make audit_inode take struct filename
  vfs: make path_openat take a struct filename pointer
  vfs: turn do_path_lookup into wrapper around struct filename variant
  audit: allow audit code to satisfy getname requests from its names_list
  vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it
  vfs: unexport getname and putname symbols
  acct: constify the name arg to acct_on
  vfs: allocate page instead of names_cache buffer in mount_block_root
  audit: overhaul __audit_inode_child to accomodate retrying
  audit: optimize audit_compare_dname_path
  audit: make audit_compare_dname_path use parent_len helper
  audit: remove dirlen argument to audit_compare_dname_path
  audit: set the name_len in audit_inode for parent lookups
  audit: add a new "type" field to audit_names struct
  audit: reverse arguments to audit_inode_child
  audit: no need to walk list in audit_inode if name is NULL
  audit: pass in dentry to audit_copy_inode wherever possible
  audit: remove unnecessary NULL ptr checks from do_path_lookup
