Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- The series "powerpc/crash: use generic crashkernel reservation" from
Sourabh Jain changes powerpc's kexec code to use more of the generic
layers.
- The series "get_maintainer: report subsystem status separately" from
Vlastimil Babka makes some long-requested improvements to the
get_maintainer output.
- The series "ucount: Simplify refcounting with rcuref_t" from
Sebastian Siewior cleans up and optimizing the refcounting in the
ucount code.
- The series "reboot: support runtime configuration of emergency
hw_protection action" from Ahmad Fatoum improves the ability for a
driver to perform an emergency system shutdown or reboot.
- The series "Converge on using secs_to_jiffies() part two" from Easwar
Hariharan performs further migrations from msecs_to_jiffies() to
secs_to_jiffies().
- The series "lib/interval_tree: add some test cases and cleanup" from
Wei Yang permits more userspace testing of kernel library code, adds
some more tests and performs some cleanups.
- The series "hung_task: Dump the blocking task stacktrace" from Masami
Hiramatsu arranges for the hung_task detector to dump the stack of
the blocking task and not just that of the blocked task.
- The series "resource: Split and use DEFINE_RES*() macros" from Andy
Shevchenko provides some cleanups to the resource definition macros.
- Plus the usual shower of singleton patches - please see the
individual changelogs for details.
