Linus Torvalds e9d488c311 binfmt_misc for-linus on 20160727 
First off, the intention of this pull is to declare that I'll be the
 binfmt_misc maintainer (mainly on the grounds of you touched it last,
 it's yours).  There's no MAINTAINERS entry, but get_maintainers.pl
 will now finger me.
 
 The update itself is to allow architecture emulation containers to
 function such that the emulation binary can be housed outside the
 container itself.  The container and fs parts both have acks from
 relevant experts.
 
 The change is user visible. To use the new feature you have to add an
 F option to your binfmt_misc configuration.  However, the existing
 tools, like systemd-binfmt work with this without modification.

Merge tag 'binfmt-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/binfmt_misc

Pull binfmt_misc update from James Bottomley:
 "This update is to allow architecture emulation containers to function
  such that the emulation binary can be housed outside the container
  itself.  The container and fs parts both have acks from relevant
  experts.

  To use the new feature you have to add an F option to your binfmt_misc
  configuration"

From the docs:
 "The usual behaviour of binfmt_misc is to spawn the binary lazily when
  the misc format file is invoked.  However, this doesn't work very well
  in the face of mount namespaces and changeroots, so the F mode opens
  the binary as soon as the emulation is installed and uses the opened
  image to spawn the emulator, meaning it is always available once
  installed, regardless of how the environment changes"

* tag 'binfmt-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/binfmt_misc:
  binfmt_misc: add F option description to documentation
  binfmt_misc: add persistent opened binary handler for containers
  fs: add filp_clone_open API
