Merge branch 'akpm' (aka "Andrew's patch-bomb")
Andrew elucidates:
- First installmeant of MM. We have a HUGE number of MM patches this
time. It's crazy.
- MAINTAINERS updates
- backlight updates
- leds
- checkpatch updates
- misc ELF stuff
- rtc updates
- reiserfs
- procfs
- some misc other bits
* akpm: (124 commits)
user namespace: make signal.c respect user namespaces
workqueue: make alloc_workqueue() take printf fmt and args for name
procfs: add hidepid= and gid= mount options
procfs: parse mount options
procfs: introduce the /proc/<pid>/map_files/ directory
procfs: make proc_get_link to use dentry instead of inode
signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked
sparc: make SA_NOMASK a synonym of SA_NODEFER
reiserfs: don't lock root inode searching
reiserfs: don't lock journal_init()
reiserfs: delay reiserfs lock until journal initialization
reiserfs: delete comments referring to the BKL
drivers/rtc/interface.c: fix alarm rollover when day or month is out-of-range
drivers/rtc/rtc-twl.c: add DT support for RTC inside twl4030/twl6030
drivers/rtc/: remove redundant spi driver bus initialization
drivers/rtc/rtc-jz4740.c: make jz4740_rtc_driver static
drivers/rtc/rtc-mc13xxx.c: make mc13xxx_rtc_idtable static
rtc: convert drivers/rtc/* to use module_platform_driver()
drivers/rtc/rtc-wm831x.c: convert to devm_kzalloc()
drivers/rtc/rtc-wm831x.c: remove unused period IRQ handler
