Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)

Merge updates from Andrew Morton:
 "A few little subsystems and a start of a lot of MM patches.

  Subsystems affected by this patch series: squashfs, ocfs2, parisc,
  vfs. With mm subsystems: slab-generic, slub, debug, pagecache, gup,
  swap, memcg, pagemap, memory-failure, vmalloc, kasan"

* emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (128 commits)
  kasan: move kasan_report() into report.c
  mm/mm_init.c: report kasan-tag information stored in page->flags
  ubsan: entirely disable alignment checks under UBSAN_TRAP
  kasan: fix clang compilation warning due to stack protector
  x86/mm: remove vmalloc faulting
  mm: remove vmalloc_sync_(un)mappings()
  x86/mm/32: implement arch_sync_kernel_mappings()
  x86/mm/64: implement arch_sync_kernel_mappings()
  mm/ioremap: track which page-table levels were modified
  mm/vmalloc: track which page-table levels were modified
  mm: add functions to track page directory modifications
  s390: use __vmalloc_node in stack_alloc
  powerpc: use __vmalloc_node in alloc_vm_stack
  arm64: use __vmalloc_node in arch_alloc_vmap_stack
  mm: remove vmalloc_user_node_flags
  mm: switch the test_vmalloc module to use __vmalloc_node
  mm: remove __vmalloc_node_flags_caller
  mm: remove both instances of __vmalloc_node_flags
  mm: remove the prot argument to __vmalloc_node
  mm: remove the pgprot argument to __vmalloc
