Merge tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2023-11-02-14-08' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton: "As usual, lots of singleton and doubleton patches all over the tree and there's little I can say which isn't in the individual changelogs. The lengthier patch series are - 'kdump: use generic functions to simplify crashkernel reservation in arch', from Baoquan He. This is mainly cleanups and consolidation of the 'crashkernel=' kernel parameter handling - After much discussion, David Laight's 'minmax: Relax type checks in min() and max()' is here. Hopefully reduces some typecasting and the use of min_t() and max_t() - A group of patches from Oleg Nesterov which clean up and slightly fix our handling of reads from /proc/PID/task/... and which remove task_struct.thread_group" * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2023-11-02-14-08' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (64 commits) scripts/gdb/vmalloc: disable on no-MMU scripts/gdb: fix usage of MOD_TEXT not defined when CONFIG_MODULES=n .mailmap: add address mapping for Tomeu Vizoso mailmap: update email address for Claudiu Beznea tools/testing/selftests/mm/run_vmtests.sh: lower the ptrace permissions .mailmap: map Benjamin Poirier's address scripts/gdb: add lx_current support for riscv ocfs2: fix a spelling typo in comment proc: test ProtectionKey in proc-empty-vm test proc: fix proc-empty-vm test with vsyscall fs/proc/base.c: remove unneeded semicolon do_io_accounting: use sig->stats_lock do_io_accounting: use __for_each_thread() ocfs2: replace BUG_ON() at ocfs2_num_free_extents() with ocfs2_error() ocfs2: fix a typo in a comment scripts/show_delta: add __main__ judgement before main code treewide: mark stuff as __ro_after_init fs: ocfs2: check status values proc: test /proc/${pid}/statm compiler.h: move __is_constexpr() to compiler.h ...
