Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
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 maccess: rename strnlen_unsafe_user to strnlen_user_nofault maccess: rename strncpy_from_unsafe_strict to strncpy_from_kernel_nofault maccess: rename strncpy_from_unsafe_user to strncpy_from_user_nofault maccess: update the top of file comment maccess: clarify kerneldoc comments maccess: remove duplicate kerneldoc comments ...
