One of the randconfig build failed with the error:

  arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c: In function 'smp_flush_tlb_mm':
  arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c:283:20: error: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer nor vector
    mmc = &amp;mm-&gt;context[cpu_id];
                      ^
  arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c: In function 'smp_flush_tlb_page':
  arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c:353:20: error: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer nor vector
    mmc = &amp;mm-&gt;context[cpu_id];
                      ^

  arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c:479:41: error: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer nor vector
    unsigned long *mmc = &amp;flush_mm-&gt;context[cpu_id];

It turned out that CONFIG_SMP was defined but CONFIG_MMU was not
defined.  But arch/m32r/include/asm/mmu.h only defines mm_context_t as
an array when both CONFIG_SMP and CONFIG_MMU are defined.  And
arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c is always using context as an array.  So without
MMU SMP can not work.

The build of m32104ut_defconfig for m32r arch was failing for long long
time with the error:

  ERROR: "memory_start" [fs/udf/udf.ko] undefined!

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a
  build success notification from the kbuild robot.  The 'for-4.5/block-
  dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block
  device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented
  with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks
  integration.

  There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and
  export badblocks" received last week.  Linda identified some localized
  fixups that we will handle incrementally.

  Summary:

   - Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that
     originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a
     block device.  This initial implementation is limited to being
     consulted in the pmem block-i/o path.  Later, 'badblocks' will be
     consulted when creating dax mappings.

   - Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
     large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability
     to dax-mmap a block device directly.

   - Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all
     io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access
     while a driver is actively using an address range.  This behavior
     is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be
     overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line
     option.

   - Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
     block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes"

Expose socket options for setting a classic or extended BPF program
for use when selecting sockets in an SO_REUSEPORT group.  These options
can be used on the first socket to belong to a group before bind or
on any socket in the group after bind.

This change includes refactoring of the existing sk_filter code to
allow reuse of the existing BPF filter validation checks.

m32r allmodconfig was failing with the error:

  error: implicit declaration of function 'read'

On checking io.h it turned out that 'read' is not defined but 'readb' is
defined and 'ioread8' will then obviously mean 'readb'.

At the same time some of the helper functions ioreadN_rep() and
iowriteN_rep() were missing which also led to the build failure.

<content type='text'>
Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf.

Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on
the pull request, which is why it's going in only now.

The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure
than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty
interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems.

strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an
overlong result.  To make matters worse, it pads a short result with
zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers.

strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking
the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value
which returns the original length of the source string.  Which means
that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and
you have to trust the source to be properly terminated.  It also makes
error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily
subtle.

strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination
(but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and
making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG.  It also
doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for
untrusted source data too.

So why did I waffle about this for so long?

Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing
these interminable series of trivial conversion patches.

And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the
conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse.
Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention
span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches
of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested.

So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface.
But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches.  Use this in
places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things
that aren't actually known to be broken.

* 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
  tile: use global strscpy() rather than private copy
  string: provide strscpy()
  Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures

This patch makes sure that atomic_{read,set}() are at least
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE().

We already had the 'requirement' that atomic_read() should use
ACCESS_ONCE(), and most archs had this, but a few were lacking.
All are now converted to use READ_ONCE().

And, by a symmetry and general paranoia argument, upgrade atomic_set()
to use WRITE_ONCE().
