Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew Morton) into next

Merge more updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Most of the rest of MM.

   This includes "mark remap_file_pages syscall as deprecated" but the
   actual "replace remap_file_pages syscall with emulation" is held
   back.  I guess we'll need to work out when to pull the trigger on
   that one.

 - various minor cleanups to obscure filesystems

 - the drivers/rtc queue

 - hfsplus updates

 - ufs, hpfs, fatfs, affs, reiserfs

 - Documentation/

 - signals

 - procfs

 - cpu hotplug

 - lib/idr.c

 - rapidio

 - sysctl

 - ipc updates

+The remap_file_pages() system call is used to create a nonlinear mapping,
+that is, a mapping in which the pages of the file are mapped into a
+nonsequential order in memory. The advantage of using remap_file_pages()
+over using repeated calls to mmap(2) is that the former approach does not
+require the kernel to create additional VMA (Virtual Memory Area) data
+structures.
+
+Supporting of nonlinear mapping requires significant amount of non-trivial
+code in kernel virtual memory subsystem including hot paths. Also to get
+nonlinear mapping work kernel need a way to distinguish normal page table
+entries from entries with file offset (pte_file). Kernel reserves flag in
+PTE for this purpose. PTE flags are scarce resource especially on some CPU
+architectures. It would be nice to free up the flag for other usage.
+
+Fortunately, there are not many users of remap_file_pages() in the wild.
+It's only known that one enterprise RDBMS implementation uses the syscall
+on 32-bit systems to map files bigger than can linearly fit into 32-bit
+virtual address space. This use-case is not critical anymore since 64-bit
+systems are widely available.
+
+The plan is to deprecate the syscall and replace it with an emulation.
+The emulation will create new VMAs instead of nonlinear mappings. It's
+going to work slower for rare users of remap_file_pages() but ABI is
+preserved.
+
+One side effect of emulation (apart from performance) is that user can hit
+vm.max_map_count limit more easily due to additional VMAs. See comment for
+DEFAULT_MAX_MAP_COUNT for more details on the limit.
