Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge patch-bomb from Andrew Morton: - inotify tweaks - some ocfs2 updates (many more are awaiting review) - various misc bits - kernel/watchdog.c updates - Some of mm. I have a huge number of MM patches this time and quite a lot of it is quite difficult and much will be held over to next time. * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (162 commits) selftests: vm: add tests for lock on fault mm: mlock: add mlock flags to enable VM_LOCKONFAULT usage mm: introduce VM_LOCKONFAULT mm: mlock: add new mlock system call mm: mlock: refactor mlock, munlock, and munlockall code kasan: always taint kernel on report mm, slub, kasan: enable user tracking by default with KASAN=y kasan: use IS_ALIGNED in memory_is_poisoned_8() kasan: Fix a type conversion error lib: test_kasan: add some testcases kasan: update reference to kasan prototype repo kasan: move KASAN_SANITIZE in arch/x86/boot/Makefile kasan: various fixes in documentation kasan: update log messages kasan: accurately determine the type of the bad access kasan: update reported bug types for kernel memory accesses kasan: update reported bug types for not user nor kernel memory accesses mm/kasan: prevent deadlock in kasan reporting mm/kasan: don't use kasan shadow pointer in generic functions mm/kasan: MODULE_VADDR is not available on all archs ...
