Merge branch 'akpm' (second patch-bomb from Andrew)
Merge second patchbomb from Andrew Morton: - the rest of MM - misc fs fixes - add execveat() syscall - new ratelimit feature for fault-injection - decompressor updates - ipc/ updates - fallocate feature creep - fsnotify cleanups - a few other misc things * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (99 commits) cgroups: Documentation: fix trivial typos and wrong paragraph numberings parisc: percpu: update comments referring to __get_cpu_var percpu: update local_ops.txt to reflect this_cpu operations percpu: remove __get_cpu_var and __raw_get_cpu_var macros fsnotify: remove destroy_list from fsnotify_mark fsnotify: unify inode and mount marks handling fallocate: create FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY events mm/cma: make kmemleak ignore CMA regions slub: fix cpuset check in get_any_partial slab: fix cpuset check in fallback_alloc shmdt: use i_size_read() instead of ->i_size ipc/shm.c: fix overly aggressive shmdt() when calls span multiple segments ipc/msg: increase MSGMNI, remove scaling ipc/sem.c: increase SEMMSL, SEMMNI, SEMOPM ipc/sem.c: change memory barrier in sem_lock() to smp_rmb() lib/decompress.c: consistency of compress formats for kernel image decompress_bunzip2: off by one in get_next_block() usr/Kconfig: make initrd compression algorithm selection not expert fault-inject: add ratelimit option ratelimit: add initialization macro ...

54 * Scaling factor to compute msgmni: 54 * MSGMNI, MSGMAX and MSGMNB are default values which can be
55 * the memory dedicated to msg queues (msgmni * msgmnb) should occupy 55 * modified by sysctl.
56 * at most 1/MSG_MEM_SCALE of the lowmem (see the formula in ipc/msg.c): 56 *
57 * up to 8MB : msgmni = 16 (MSGMNI) 57 * MSGMNI is the upper limit for the number of messages queues per
58 * 4 GB : msgmni = 8K 58 * namespace.
59 * more than 16 GB : msgmni = 32K (IPCMNI) 59 * It has been chosen to be as large possible without facilitating
60 * scenarios where userspace causes overflows when adjusting the limits via
61 * operations of the form retrieve current limit; add X; update limit".
62 *
63 * MSGMNB is the default size of a new message queue. Non-root tasks can
64 * decrease the size with msgctl(IPC_SET), root tasks
65 * (actually: CAP_SYS_RESOURCE) can both increase and decrease the queue
66 * size. The optimal value is application dependent.
67 * 16384 is used because it was always used (since 0.99.10)
68 *
69 * MAXMAX is the maximum size of an individual message, it's a global
70 * (per-namespace) limit that applies for all message queues.
71 * It's set to 1/2 of MSGMNB, to ensure that at least two messages fit into
72 * the queue. This is also an arbitrary choice (since 2.6.0).
