Pull smbfs updates from Steve French:
 "cifs/smb3 updates:

   - DFS reconnect fix

   - begin creating common headers for server and client

   - rename the cifs_common directory to smbfs_common to be more
     consistent ie change use of the name cifs to smb (smb3 or smbfs is
     more accurate, as the very old cifs dialect has long been
     superseded by smb3 dialects).

  In the future we can rename the fs/cifs directory to fs/smbfs.

  This does not include the set of multichannel fixes nor the two
  deferred close fixes (they are still being reviewed and tested)"

* tag '5.15-rc-cifs-part2' of git://git.samba.org/sfrench/cifs-2.6:

As we move to common code between client and server, we have
been asked to make the names less confusing, and refer less
to "cifs" and more to words which include "smb" instead to
e.g. "smbfs" for the client (we already have "ksmbd" for the
kernel server, and "smbd" for the user space Samba daemon).
So to be more consistent in the naming of common code between
client and server and reduce the risk of merge conflicts as
more common code is added - rename "cifs_common" to
"smbfs_common" (in future releases we also will rename
the fs/cifs directory to fs/smbfs)

Merge NTFSv3 filesystem from Konstantin Komarov:
 "This patch adds NTFS Read-Write driver to fs/ntfs3.

  Having decades of expertise in commercial file systems development and
  huge test coverage, we at Paragon Software GmbH want to make our
  contribution to the Open Source Community by providing implementation
  of NTFS Read-Write driver for the Linux Kernel.

  This is fully functional NTFS Read-Write driver. Current version works
  with NTFS (including v3.1) and normal/compressed/sparse files and
  supports journal replaying.

  We plan to support this version after the codebase once merged, and
  add new features and fix bugs. For example, full journaling support
  over JBD will be added in later updates"

Pull initial ksmbd implementation from Steve French:
 "Initial merge of kernel smb3 file server, ksmbd.

  The SMB family of protocols is the most widely deployed network
  filesystem protocol, the default on Windows and Macs (and even on many
  phones and tablets), with clients and servers on all major operating
  systems, but lacked a kernel server for Linux. For many cases the
  current userspace server choices were suboptimal either due to memory
  footprint, performance or difficulty integrating well with advanced
  Linux features.

  ksmbd is a new kernel module which implements the server-side of the
  SMB3 protocol. The target is to provide optimized performance, GPLv2
  SMB server, and better lease handling (distributed caching). The
  bigger goal is to add new features more rapidly (e.g. RDMA aka
  "smbdirect", and recent encryption and signing improvements to the
  protocol) which are easier to develop on a smaller, more tightly
  optimized kernel server than for example in Samba.

  The Samba project is much broader in scope (tools, security services,
  LDAP, Active Directory Domain Controller, and a cross platform file
  server for a wider variety of purposes) but the user space file server
  portion of Samba has proved hard to optimize for some Linux workloads,
  including for smaller devices.

  This is not meant to replace Samba, but rather be an extension to
  allow better optimizing for Linux, and will continue to integrate well
  with Samba user space tools and libraries where appropriate. Working
  with the Samba team we have already made sure that the configuration
  files and xattrs are in a compatible format between the kernel and
  user space server.

  Various types of functional and regression tests are regularly run
  against it. One example is the automated 'buildbot' regression tests
  which use the Linux client to test against ksmbd, e.g.

     http://smb3-test-rhel-75.southcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com/#/builders/8/builds/56

  but other test suites, including Samba's smbtorture functional test
  suite are also used regularly"

  Linux features.

  ksmbd is a new kernel module which implements the server-side of the
  SMB3 protocol. The target is to provide optimized performance, GPLv2
  SMB server, and better lease handling (distributed caching). The
  bigger goal is to add new features more rapidly (e.g. RDMA aka
  "smbdirect", and recent encryption and signing improvements to the
  protocol) which are easier to develop on a smaller, more tightly
  optimized kernel server than for example in Samba.

  The Samba project is much broader in scope (tools, security services,
  LDAP, Active Directory Domain Controller, and a cross platform file
  server for a wider variety of purposes) but the user space file server
  portion of Samba has proved hard to optimize for some Linux workloads,
  including for smaller devices.

  This is not meant to replace Samba, but rather be an extension to
  allow better optimizing for Linux, and will continue to integrate well
  with Samba user space tools and libraries where appropriate. Working
  with the Samba team we have already made sure that the configuration
  files and xattrs are in a compatible format between the kernel and
  user space server.

  Various types of functional and regression tests are regularly run
  against it. One example is the automated 'buildbot' regression tests
  which use the Linux client to test against ksmbd, e.g.

     http://smb3-test-rhel-75.southcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com/#/builders/8/builds/56

  but other test suites, including Samba's smbtorture functional test
  suite are also used regularly"

We can not drop ARC4 and basically destroy CIFS connectivity for
almost all CIFS users so create a new forked ARC4 module that CIFS and other
subsystems that have a hard dependency on ARC4 can use.

<title>binfmt: remove support for em86 (alpha only)</title>

We have a fairly specific alpha binary loader in Linux: running x86
(i386, i486) binaries via the em86 [1] emulator. As noted in the Kconfig
option, the same behavior can be achieved via binfmt_misc, for example,
more nowadays used for running qemu-user.

An example on how to get binfmt_misc running with em86 can be found in
Documentation/admin-guide/binfmt-misc.rst

The defconfig does not have CONFIG_BINFMT_EM86=y set. And doing a
	make defconfig &amp;&amp; make olddefconfig
results in
	# CONFIG_BINFMT_EM86 is not set

... as we don't seem to have any supported Linux distirbution for alpha
anymore, there isn't really any "default" user of that feature anymore.

Searching for "CONFIG_BINFMT_EM86=y" reveals mostly discussions from
around 20 years ago, like [2] describing how to get netscape via em86
running via em86, or [3] discussing that running wine or installing
Win 3.11 through em86 would be a nice feature.

The latest binaries available for em86 are from 2000, version 2.2.1 [4] --
which translates to "unsupported"; further, em86 doesn't even work with
glibc-2.x but only with glibc-2.0 [4, 5]. These are clear signs that
there might not be too many em86 users out there, especially users
relying on modern Linux kernels.

Even though the code footprint is relatively small, let's just get rid
of this blast from the past that's effectively unused.
