Pull SELinux fix from Paul Moore:
"One more small fix for SELinux: a small string length fix found by
KASAN.
I dislike sending patches this late in the release cycle, but this
patch fixes a legitimate problem, is very small, limited in scope, and
well understood.
There are two threads with more information on the problem, the latest
is linked below:
https://marc.info/?t=152723737400001&r=1&w=2
Stephen points out in the thread linked above:
'Such a setxattr() call can only be performed by a process with
CAP_MAC_ADMIN that is also allowed mac_admin permission in SELinux
policy. Consequently, this is never possible on Android (no process
is allowed mac_admin permission, always enforcing) and is only
possible in Fedora/RHEL for a few domains (if enforcing)'"

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
