Merge branch 'linus' into perf/kprobes
Conflicts: include/asm-generic/atomic-instrumented.h kernel/kprobes.c Use the upstream atomic-instrumented.h checksum, and pick the kprobes version of kernel/kprobes.c, which effectively reverts this upstream workaround: 645f224e7ba2: ("kprobes: Tell lockdep about kprobe nesting") Since the new code *should* be fine without nesting. Knock on wood ... Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

+ * stpcpy differs from strcpy in a key way: the return value is a pointer
+ * to the new %NUL-terminating character in @dest. (For strcpy, the return
+ * value is a pointer to the start of @dest). This interface is considered
+ * unsafe as it doesn't perform bounds checking of the inputs. As such it's
+ * not recommended for usage. Instead, its definition is provided in case
+ * the compiler lowers other libcalls to stpcpy.
