Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge more updates from Andrew Morton: - almost all of the rest of MM - kasan updates - lots of procfs work - misc things - lib/ updates - checkpatch - rapidio - ipc/shm updates - the start of willy's XArray conversion * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (140 commits) page cache: use xa_lock xarray: add the xa_lock to the radix_tree_root fscache: use appropriate radix tree accessors export __set_page_dirty unicore32: turn flush_dcache_mmap_lock into a no-op arm64: turn flush_dcache_mmap_lock into a no-op mac80211_hwsim: use DEFINE_IDA radix tree: use GFP_ZONEMASK bits of gfp_t for flags linux/const.h: refactor _BITUL and _BITULL a bit linux/const.h: move UL() macro to include/linux/const.h linux/const.h: prefix include guard of uapi/linux/const.h with _UAPI xen, mm: allow deferred page initialization for xen pv domains elf: enforce MAP_FIXED on overlaying elf segments fs, elf: drop MAP_FIXED usage from elf_map mm: introduce MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE MAINTAINERS: update bouncing aacraid@adaptec.com addresses fs/dcache.c: add cond_resched() in shrink_dentry_list() include/linux/kfifo.h: fix comment ipc/shm.c: shm_split(): remove unneeded test for NULL shm_file_data.vm_ops kernel/sysctl.c: add kdoc comments to do_proc_do{u}intvec_minmax_conv_param ...
