Merge branch 'akpm' (second patch-bomb from Andrew)
Merge second patchbomb from Andrew Morton: - the rest of MM - misc fs fixes - add execveat() syscall - new ratelimit feature for fault-injection - decompressor updates - ipc/ updates - fallocate feature creep - fsnotify cleanups - a few other misc things * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (99 commits) cgroups: Documentation: fix trivial typos and wrong paragraph numberings parisc: percpu: update comments referring to __get_cpu_var percpu: update local_ops.txt to reflect this_cpu operations percpu: remove __get_cpu_var and __raw_get_cpu_var macros fsnotify: remove destroy_list from fsnotify_mark fsnotify: unify inode and mount marks handling fallocate: create FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY events mm/cma: make kmemleak ignore CMA regions slub: fix cpuset check in get_any_partial slab: fix cpuset check in fallback_alloc shmdt: use i_size_read() instead of ->i_size ipc/shm.c: fix overly aggressive shmdt() when calls span multiple segments ipc/msg: increase MSGMNI, remove scaling ipc/sem.c: increase SEMMSL, SEMMNI, SEMOPM ipc/sem.c: change memory barrier in sem_lock() to smp_rmb() lib/decompress.c: consistency of compress formats for kernel image decompress_bunzip2: off by one in get_next_block() usr/Kconfig: make initrd compression algorithm selection not expert fault-inject: add ratelimit option ratelimit: add initialization macro ...
