* emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (132 commits)
mm/zsmalloc.c: fix a -Wunused-function warning
zswap: do not map same object twice
zswap: use movable memory if zpool support allocate movable memory
zpool: add malloc_support_movable to zpool_driver
shmem: fix obsolete comment in shmem_getpage_gfp()
mm/madvise: reduce code duplication in error handling paths
mm: mmap: increase sockets maximum memory size pgoff for 32bits
mm/mmap.c: refine find_vma_prev() with rb_last()
riscv: make mmap allocation top-down by default
mips: use generic mmap top-down layout and brk randomization
mips: replace arch specific way to determine 32bit task with generic version
mips: adjust brk randomization offset to fit generic version
mips: use STACK_TOP when computing mmap base address
mips: properly account for stack randomization and stack guard gap
arm: use generic mmap top-down layout and brk randomization
arm: use STACK_TOP when computing mmap base address
arm: properly account for stack randomization and stack guard gap
arm64, mm: make randomization selected by generic topdown mmap layout
arm64, mm: move generic mmap layout functions to mm
arm64: consider stack randomization for mmap base only when necessary
