Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge first patchbomb from Andrew Morton: - arch/sh updates - ocfs2 updates - kernel/watchdog feature - about half of mm/ * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (122 commits) Documentation: update arch list in the 'memtest' entry Kconfig: memtest: update number of test patterns up to 17 arm: add support for memtest arm64: add support for memtest memtest: use phys_addr_t for physical addresses mm: move memtest under mm mm, hugetlb: abort __get_user_pages if current has been oom killed mm, mempool: do not allow atomic resizing memcg: print cgroup information when system panics due to panic_on_oom mm: numa: remove migrate_ratelimited mm: fold arch_randomize_brk into ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE mm: split ET_DYN ASLR from mmap ASLR s390: redefine randomize_et_dyn for ELF_ET_DYN_BASE mm: expose arch_mmap_rnd when available s390: standardize mmap_rnd() usage powerpc: standardize mmap_rnd() usage mips: extract logic for mmap_rnd() arm64: standardize mmap_rnd() usage x86: standardize mmap_rnd() usage arm: factor out mmap ASLR into mmap_rnd ...
