Pull timer type cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This series does a tree wide cleanup of types related to
  timers/timekeeping.

   - Get rid of cycles_t and use a plain u64. The type is not really
     helpful and caused more confusion than clarity

   - Get rid of the ktime union. The union has become useless as we use
     the scalar nanoseconds storage unconditionally now. The 32bit
     timespec alike storage got removed due to the Y2038 limitations
     some time ago.

     That leaves the odd union access around for no reason. Clean it up.

  Both changes have been done with coccinelle and a small amount of
  manual mopping up"

Pull SMP hotplug notifier removal from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This is the final cleanup of the hotplug notifier infrastructure. The
  series has been reintgrated in the last two days because there came a
  new driver using the old infrastructure via the SCSI tree.

  Summary:

   - convert the last leftover drivers utilizing notifiers

   - fixup for a completely broken hotplug user

   - prevent setup of already used states

   - removal of the notifiers

   - treewide cleanup of hotplug state names

   - consolidation of state space

  There is a sphinx based documentation pending, but that needs review
  from the documentation folks"

unambiguous.

When the state names got added a script was used to add the extra argument
to the calls. The script basically converted the state constant to a
string, but the cleanup to convert these strings into meaningful ones did
not happen.

Replace all the useless strings with 'subsys/xxx/yyy:state' strings which
are used in all the other places already.

Merge more updates from Andrew Morton:

 - a few misc things

 - kexec updates

 - DMA-mapping updates to better support networking DMA operations

 - IPC updates

 - various MM changes to improve DAX fault handling

 - lots of radix-tree changes, mainly to the test suite. All leading up
   to reimplementing the IDA/IDR code to be a wrapper layer over the
   radix-tree. However the final trigger-pulling patch is held off for
   4.11.

  radix tree test suite: add some more functionality
  idr: reduce the number of bits per level from 8 to 6

The use of DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC was not consistent across all of the
DMA APIs in the arch/arm folder.  This change is meant to correct that
so that we get consistent behavior.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "After a lot of discussion and work we have finally reachanged a basic
  understanding of what is necessary to make unprivileged mounts safe in
  the presence of EVM and IMA xattrs which the last commit in this
  series reflects. While technically it is a revert the comments it adds
  are important for people not getting confused in the future. Clearing
  up that confusion allows us to seriously work on unprivileged mounts
  of fuse in the next development cycle.

  The rest of the fixes in this set are in the intersection of user
  namespaces, ptrace, and exec. I started with the first fix which
  started a feedback cycle of finding additional issues during review
  and fixing them. Culiminating in a fix for a bug that has been present
  since at least Linux v1.0.

  Potentially these fixes were candidates for being merged during the rc
  cycle, and are certainly backport candidates but enough little things
  turned up during review and testing that I decided they should be
  handled as part of the normal development process just to be certain
  there were not any great surprises when it came time to backport some
  of these fixes"

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big char/misc driver patches for 4.10-rc1. Lots of tiny
  changes over lots of "minor" driver subsystems, the largest being some
  new FPGA drivers. Other than that, a few other new drivers, but no new
  driver subsystems added for this kernel cycle, a nice change.

  All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues"

<title>ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mm</title>

It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not
readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to
read the file.  This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if ptrace
is already attached before exec there is no enforcement for read-only
executables.

As the only way to read such an mm is through access_process_vm
spin a variant called ptrace_access_vm that will fail if the
target process is not being ptraced by the current process, or
the current process did not have sufficient privileges when ptracing
began to read the target processes mm.

In the ptrace implementations replace access_process_vm by
ptrace_access_vm.  There remain several ptrace sites that still use
access_process_vm as they are reading the target executables
instructions (for kernel consumption) or register stacks.  As such it
does not appear necessary to add a permission check to those calls.

This bug has always existed in Linux.

Fixes: v1.0
