Pull kthread updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This updates init and user mode helper tasks to be ordinary user mode
  tasks.

  Commit 40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for
  all kthreads") caused init and the user mode helper threads that call
  kernel_execve to have struct kthread allocated for them. This struct
  kthread going away during execve in turned made a use after free of
  struct kthread possible.

  Here, commit 343f4c49f243 ("kthread: Don't allocate kthread_struct for
  init and umh") is enough to fix the use after free and is simple
  enough to be backportable.

  The rest of the changes pass struct kernel_clone_args to clean things
  up and cause the code to make sense.

  In making init and the user mode helpers tasks purely user mode tasks
  I ran into two complications. The function task_tick_numa was
  detecting tasks without an mm by testing for the presence of
  PF_KTHREAD. The initramfs code in populate_initrd_image was using
  flush_delayed_fput to ensuere the closing of all it's file descriptors
  was complete, and flush_delayed_fput does not work in a userspace
  thread.

  I have looked and looked and more complications and in my code review
  I have not found any, and neither has anyone else with the code
  sitting in linux-next"

Use memblock_add_node to add new memblock region within a NUMA node
in early_parse_mem() under CONFIG_NUMA, otherwise the mem parameter
can not work well.

<content type='text'>
In the current code, the users usually need to make sure the value
of mem parameter is correct, but it is better to do some check to
avoid potential boot hangs.

This commit checks whether mem parameter is empty, if yes, return
-EINVAL before call memblock_remove() and memblock_add().

The strlcpy should not be used because it doesn't limit the source

<id>urn:sha1:2dfb34edfebf8a881914ffc80551fd37d1b632c2</id>
<content type='text'>
Kernel now supports chained power-off handlers. Use do_kernel_power_off()
that invokes chained power-off handlers. It also invokes legacy
pm_power_off() for now, which will be removed once all drivers will
be converted to the new sys-off API.

<title>MIPS: Use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() instead of __kprobes annotation</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f5e2d8186d5eafc809704fa1b25b5b753f50617c</id>
<content type='text'>
If define CONFIG_KPROBES, __kprobes annotation forces the whole function
into the ".kprobes.text" section, NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() only stores the given
function address in the "_kprobe_blacklist" section which is introduced
to maintain kprobes blacklist.

Modify the related code to use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() to protect functions from
kprobes instead of __kprobes annotation under arch/mips.

No obvious functional change in this patch, some more work needs to be done
to fix the kernel panic when execute the following testcase on mips:

  # cd tools/testing/selftests/ftrace
  # ./ftracetest test.d/kprobe/multiple_kprobes.tc

<content type='text'>
When process exits or execute new binary, it will call function
exit_mmap with old mm, there is such function call trace:
  exit_mmap(struct mm_struct *mm)
      --&gt; tlb_finish_mmu(&amp;tlb, 0, -1)
         --&gt; arch_tlb_finish_mmu(tlb, start, end, force)
	    --&gt; tlb_flush_mmu(tlb);
               --&gt; tlb_flush(struct mmu_gather *tlb)
                  --&gt; flush_tlb_mm(tlb-&gt;mm)

It is not necessary to flush tlb since oldmm is not used anymore
by the process, there is similar operations on IA64/ARM64 etc,
this patch adds such optimization on MIPS.
