Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge more updates from Andrew Morton: - the rest of MM - various misc things - procfs updates - lib/ updates - checkpatch updates - kdump/kexec updates - add kvmalloc helpers, use them - time helper updates for Y2038 issues. We're almost ready to remove current_fs_time() but that awaits a btrfs merge. - add tracepoints to DAX * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (114 commits) drivers/staging/ccree/ssi_hash.c: fix build with gcc-4.4.4 selftests/vm: add a test for virtual address range mapping dax: add tracepoint to dax_insert_mapping() dax: add tracepoint to dax_writeback_one() dax: add tracepoints to dax_writeback_mapping_range() dax: add tracepoints to dax_load_hole() dax: add tracepoints to dax_pfn_mkwrite() dax: add tracepoints to dax_iomap_pte_fault() mtd: nand: nandsim: convert to memalloc_noreclaim_*() treewide: convert PF_MEMALLOC manipulations to new helpers mm: introduce memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore} mm: prevent potential recursive reclaim due to clearing PF_MEMALLOC mm/huge_memory.c: deposit a pgtable for DAX PMD faults when required mm/huge_memory.c: use zap_deposited_table() more time: delete CURRENT_TIME_SEC and CURRENT_TIME gfs2: replace CURRENT_TIME with current_time apparmorfs: replace CURRENT_TIME with current_time() lustre: replace CURRENT_TIME macro fs: ubifs: replace CURRENT_TIME_SEC with current_time fs: ufs: use ktime_get_real_ts64() for birthtime ...
