This reverts more of:
b76437579d13 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc//maps")
... which was partially reverted by:
65376df58217 ("proc: revert /proc//maps [stack:TID] annotation")
Originally, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps was the same as /proc/TID/maps.
In current kernels, /proc/PID/maps (or /proc/TID/maps even for
threads) shows "[stack]" for VMAs in the mm's stack address range.In contrast, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps uses KSTK_ESP to guess the
target thread's stack's VMA. This is racy, probably returns garbage
and, on arches with CONFIG_TASK_INFO_IN_THREAD=y, is also crash-prone:
KSTK_ESP is not safe to use on tasks that aren't known to be running
ordinary process-context kernel code.This patch removes the difference and just shows "[stack]" for VMAs
in the mm's stack range. This is IMO much more sensible -- the
actual "stack" address really is treated specially by the VM code,
and the current thread stack isn't even well-defined for programs
that frequently switch stacks on their own.Reported-by: Jann Horn

All filesystems that support xattrs by now do so via xattr handlers.
They all define sb->s_xattr, and their getxattr, setxattr, and
removexattr inode operations use the generic inode operations. On
filesystems that don't support xattrs, the xattr inode operations are
all NULL, and sb->s_xattr is also NULL.This means that we can remove the getxattr, setxattr, and removexattr
inode operations and directly call the generic handlers, or better,
inline expand those handlers into fs/xattr.c.Filesystems that do not support xattrs on some inodes should clear the
IOP_XATTR i_opflags flag in those inodes. (Right now, some filesystems
have checks to disable xattrs on some inodes in the ->list, ->get, and
->set xattr handler operations instead.) The IOP_XATTR flag is
automatically cleared in inodes of filesystems that don't have xattr
support.In orangefs, symlinks do have a setxattr iop but no getxattr iop. Add a
check for symlinks to orangefs_inode_getxattr to preserve the current,
weird behavior; that check may not be necessary though.Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher

Pull xfs and iomap updates from Dave Chinner:
"The main things in this update are the iomap-based DAX infrastructure,
an XFS delalloc rework, and a chunk of fixes to how log recovery
schedules writeback to prevent spurious corruption detections when
recovery of certain items was not required.The other main chunk of code is some preparation for the upcoming
reflink functionality. Most of it is generic and cleanups that stand
alone, but they were ready and reviewed so are in this pull request.Speaking of reflink, I'm currently planning to send you another pull
request next week containing all the new reflink functionality. I'm
working through a similar process to the last cycle, where I sent the
reverse mapping code in a separate request because of how large it
was. The reflink code merge is even bigger than reverse mapping, so
I'll be doing the same thing again....Summary for this update:
- change of XFS mailing list to linux-xfs@vger.kernel.org
- iomap-based DAX infrastructure w/ XFS and ext2 support
- small iomap fixes and additions
- more efficient XFS delayed allocation infrastructure based on iomap
- a rework of log recovery writeback scheduling to ensure we don't

to show how we can integrate together our existing documentation into
a more coherent and accessible whole. It involves moving some stuff
around and formatting changes, but, I think, the results are worth it.

The header file "include/linux/nilfs2_fs.h" is composed of parts for
ioctl and disk format, and both are intended to be shared with user
space programs.This moves them to the uapi directory "include/uapi/linux" splitting the
file to "nilfs2_api.h" and "nilfs2_ondisk.h". The following minor
changes are accompanied by this migration:- nilfs_direct_node struct in nilfs2/direct.h is converged to
nilfs2_ondisk.h because it's an on-disk structure.
- inline functions nilfs_rec_len_from_disk() and
nilfs_rec_len_to_disk() are moved to nilfs2/dir.c.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1465825507-3407-4-git-send-email-konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
- Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing.
The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
deprecated. Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement
either ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm.ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers
to the memory controller on a power-fail event.Flush addresses are defined in ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware
Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure: "Flush Hint Address Structure".
A flush hint is an mmio address that when written and fenced assures
that all previous posted writes targeting a given dimm have been
flushed to media.- On-demand ARS (address range scrub).
Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
in pmem devices. When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the
media to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a
re-scrub at any time.- Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command
format.- Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.
- Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
"Assorted cleanups and fixes.Probably the most interesting part long-term is ->d_init() - that will
have a bunch of followups in (at least) ceph and lustre, but we'll
need to sort the barrier-related rules before it can get used for
really non-trivial stuff.Another fun thing is the merge of ->d_iput() callers (dentry_iput()
and dentry_unlink_inode()) and a bunch of ->d_compare() ones (all
except the one in __d_lookup_lru())"* 'work.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (26 commits)

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"The major change in this version is mitigating cpu overheads on write
paths by replacing redundant inode page updates with mark_inode_dirty
calls. And we tried to reduce lock contentions as well to improve
filesystem scalability. Other feature is setting F2FS automatically
when detecting host-managed SMR.Enhancements:
- ioctl to move a range of data between files
- inject orphan inode errors
- avoid flush commands congestion
- support lazytimeBug fixes:
- return proper results for some dentry operations
- fix deadlock in add_link failure
- disable extent_cache for fcollapse/finsert"* tag 'for-f2fs-4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs: (68 commits)
