Merge tag 's390-5.3-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux
Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens:
- Add ABI to kernel image file which allows e.g. the file utility to
figure out the kernel version.
- Wire up clone3 system call.
- Add support for kasan bitops instrumentation.
- uapi header cleanup: use __u{16,32,64} instead of uint{16,32,64}_t.
- Provide proper ARCH_ZONE_DMA_BITS so the s390 DMA zone is correctly
defined with 2 GB instead of the default value of 1 MB.
- Farhan Ali leaves the group of vfio-ccw maintainers.
- Various small vfio-ccw fixes.
- Add missing locking for airq_areas array in virtio code.
- Minor qdio improvements.
