Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge yet more updates from Andrew Morton:
"The rest of MM and a kernel-wide procfs cleanup.
Summary of the more significant patches:
- Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Factor out memory block
devicehandling", v3. David Hildenbrand.
Some spring-cleaning of the memory hotplug code, notably in
drivers/base/memory.c
- "mm: thp: fix false negative of shmem vma's THP eligibility". Yang
Shi.
Fix /proc/pid/smaps output for THP pages used in shmem.
- "resource: fix locking in find_next_iomem_res()" + 1. Nadav Amit.
Bugfix and speedup for kernel/resource.c
- Patch series "mm: Further memory block device cleanups", David
Hildenbrand.
More spring-cleaning of the memory hotplug code.
- Patch series "mm: Sub-section memory hotplug support". Dan
Williams.
Generalise the memory hotplug code so that pmem can use it more
completely. Then remove the hacks from the libnvdimm code which
were there to work around the memory-hotplug code's constraints.
- "proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range check", Matteo Croce.
We have about 250 instances of
int zero;
...
.extra1 = &zero,
in the tree. This is a tree-wide sweep to make all those private
"zero"s and "one"s use global variables.
Alas, it isn't practical to make those two global integers const"
