Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge more updates from Andrew Morton: "87 patches. Subsystems affected by this patch series: mm (pagecache and hugetlb), procfs, misc, MAINTAINERS, lib, checkpatch, binfmt, kallsyms, ramfs, init, codafs, nilfs2, hfs, crash_dump, signals, seq_file, fork, sysvfs, kcov, gdb, resource, selftests, and ipc" * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (87 commits) ipc/ipc_sysctl.c: remove fallback for !CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL ipc: check checkpoint_restore_ns_capable() to modify C/R proc files selftests/kselftest/runner/run_one(): allow running non-executable files virtio-mem: disallow mapping virtio-mem memory via /dev/mem kernel/resource: disallow access to exclusive system RAM regions kernel/resource: clean up and optimize iomem_is_exclusive() scripts/gdb: handle split debug for vmlinux kcov: replace local_irq_save() with a local_lock_t kcov: avoid enable+disable interrupts if !in_task() kcov: allocate per-CPU memory on the relevant node Documentation/kcov: define `ip' in the example Documentation/kcov: include types.h in the example sysv: use BUILD_BUG_ON instead of runtime check kernel/fork.c: unshare(): use swap() to make code cleaner seq_file: fix passing wrong private data seq_file: move seq_escape() to a header signal: remove duplicate include in signal.h crash_dump: remove duplicate include in crash_dump.h crash_dump: fix boolreturn.cocci warning hfs/hfsplus: use WARN_ON for sanity check ...

+ * RAM and the page must not be accessed; zeroes should be
+ * indicated in the vmcore instead. For example, a ballooned page
