    Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew) · a5ad5742
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Merge even more updates from Andrew Morton:
    
     - a kernel-wide sweep of show_stack()
    
     - pagetable cleanups
    
     - abstract out accesses to mmap_sem - prep for mmap_sem scalability work
    
     - hch's user acess work
    
    Subsystems affected by this patch series: debug, mm/pagemap, mm/maccess,
    mm/documentation.
    
    * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (93 commits)
      include/linux/cache.h: expand documentation over __read_mostly
      maccess: return -ERANGE when probe_kernel_read() fails
      x86: use non-set_fs based maccess routines
      maccess: allow architectures to provide kernel probing directly
      maccess: move user access routines together
      maccess: always use strict semantics for probe_kernel_read
      maccess: remove strncpy_from_unsafe
      tracing/kprobes: handle mixed kernel/userspace probes better
      bpf: rework the compat kernel probe handling
      bpf:bpf_seq_printf(): handle potentially unsafe format string better
      bpf: handle the compat string in bpf_trace_copy_string better
      bpf: factor out a bpf_trace_copy_string helper
      maccess: unify the probe kernel arch hooks
      maccess: remove probe_read_common and probe_write_common
