Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge misc updates from Andrew Morton: - a few random little subsystems - almost all of the MM patches which are staged ahead of linux-next material. I'll trickle to post-linux-next work in as the dependents get merged up. Subsystems affected by this patch series: kthread, kbuild, ide, ntfs, ocfs2, arch, and mm (slab-generic, slab, slub, dax, debug, pagecache, gup, swap, shmem, memcg, pagemap, mremap, hmm, vmalloc, documentation, kasan, pagealloc, memory-failure, hugetlb, vmscan, z3fold, compaction, oom-kill, migration, cma, page-poison, userfaultfd, zswap, zsmalloc, uaccess, zram, and cleanups). * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (200 commits) mm: cleanup kstrto*() usage mm: fix fall-through warnings for Clang mm: slub: convert sysfs sprintf family to sysfs_emit/sysfs_emit_at mm: shmem: convert shmem_enabled_show to use sysfs_emit_at mm:backing-dev: use sysfs_emit in macro defining functions mm: huge_memory: convert remaining use of sprintf to sysfs_emit and neatening mm: use sysfs_emit for struct kobject * uses mm: fix kernel-doc markups zram: break the strict dependency from lzo zram: add stat to gather incompressible pages since zram set up zram: support page writeback mm/process_vm_access: remove redundant initialization of iov_r mm/zsmalloc.c: rework the list_add code in insert_zspage() mm/zswap: move to use crypto_acomp API for hardware acceleration mm/zswap: fix passing zero to 'PTR_ERR' warning mm/zswap: make struct kernel_param_ops definitions const userfaultfd/selftests: hint the test runner on required privilege userfaultfd/selftests: fix retval check for userfaultfd_open() userfaultfd/selftests: always dump something in modes userfaultfd: selftests: make __{s,u}64 format specifiers portable ...
