Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux

I pushed a version of the crypto iov_iter bug fix that
Al Viro wrote, but Linus put in a different copy of the
same fix into his tree.

I then reverted my commit in net-next, and that's why we have a merge
when pulling in Linus's tree.

pstore: Add pmsg - user-space accessible pstore object

A secured user-space accessible pstore object. Writes
to /dev/pmsg0 are appended to the buffer, on reboot
the persistent contents are available

pstore: Add pmsg - user-space accessible pstore object

A secured user-space accessible pstore object. Writes
to /dev/pmsg0 are appended to the buffer, on reboot
the persistent contents are available in
/sys/fs/pstore/pmsg-ramoops-[ID].

One possible use is syslogd, or other daemon, can
write messages, then on reboot provides a means to
triage user-space activities leading up to a panic
as a companion to the pstore dmesg or console logs.
