 "Here are a bunch of USB fixes for the 3.7-rc tree.

  There's a lot of small USB serial driver fixes, and one larger one
  (the mos7840 driver changes are mostly just moving code around to fix
  problems.) Thanks to Johan Hovold for finding the problems and fixing
  them all up.

  Other than those, there is the usual new device ids, xhci bugfixes,
  and gadget driver fixes, nothing out of the ordinary.

      VFS: don't do protected {sym,hard}links by default · 561ec64a
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      In commit 800179c9 ("This adds symlink and hardlink restrictions to
the Linux VFS"), the new link protections were enabled by default, in
the hope that no actual application would care, despite it being
technically against legacy UNIX (and documented POSIX) behavior.

However, it does turn out to break some applications.  It's rare, and
it's unfortunate, but it's unacceptable to break existing systems, so
we'll have to default to legacy behavior.

In particular, it has broken the way AFD distributes files, see

  http://www.dwd.de/AFD/



along with some legacy scripts.

Distributions can end up setting this at initrd time or in system
scripts: if you have security problems due to link attacks during your
early boot sequence, you have bigger problems than some kernel sysctl
setting. Do:

	echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_symlinks
	echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks

to re-enable the link protections.

Alternatively, we may at some point introduce a kernel config option
that sets these kinds of "more secure but not traditional" behavioural
options automatically.
