Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge second patch-bomb from Andrew Morton: - a couple of hotfixes - the rest of MM - a new timer slack control in procfs - a couple of procfs fixes - a few misc things - some printk tweaks - lib/ updates, notably to radix-tree. - add my and Nick Piggin's old userspace radix-tree test harness to tools/testing/radix-tree/. Matthew said it was a godsend during the radix-tree work he did. - a few code-size improvements, switching to __always_inline where gcc screwed up. - partially implement character sets in sscanf * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (118 commits) sscanf: implement basic character sets lib/bug.c: use common WARN helper param: convert some "on"/"off" users to strtobool lib: add "on"/"off" support to kstrtobool lib: update single-char callers of strtobool() lib: move strtobool() to kstrtobool() include/linux/unaligned: force inlining of byteswap operations include/uapi/linux/byteorder, swab: force inlining of some byteswap operations include/asm-generic/atomic-long.h: force inlining of some atomic_long operations usb: common: convert to use match_string() helper ide: hpt366: convert to use match_string() helper ata: hpt366: convert to use match_string() helper power: ab8500: convert to use match_string() helper power: charger_manager: convert to use match_string() helper drm/edid: convert to use match_string() helper pinctrl: convert to use match_string() helper device property: convert to use match_string() helper lib/string: introduce match_string() helper radix-tree tests: add test for radix_tree_iter_next radix-tree tests: add regression3 test ...
