Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
 "1/ Fixes to the libnvdimm 'pfn' device that establishes a reserved
     area for storing a struct page array.

  2/ Fixes for dax operations on a raw block device to prevent pagecache
     collisions with dax mappings.

  3/ A fix for pfn_t usage in vm_insert_mixed that lead to a null
     pointer de-reference.

  These have received build success notification from the kbuild robot
  across 153 configs and pass the latest ndctl tests"

* 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm:
  phys_to_pfn_t: use phys_addr_t
  mm: fix pfn_t to page conversion in vm_insert_mixed
  block: use DAX for partition table reads
  block: revert runtime dax control of the raw block device
  fs, block: force direct-I/O for dax-enabled block devices
  devm_memremap_pages: fix vmem_altmap lifetime + alignment handling
  libnvdimm, pfn: fix restoring memmap location
  libnvdimm: fix mode determination for e820 devices

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a
  build success notification from the kbuild robot.  The 'for-4.5/block-
  dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block
  device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented
  with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks
  integration.

  There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and
  export badblocks" received last week.  Linda identified some localized
  fixups that we will handle incrementally.

  Summary:

   - Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that
     originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a
     block device.  This initial implementation is limited to being
     consulted in the pmem block-i/o path.  Later, 'badblocks' will be
     consulted when creating dax mappings.

   - Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
     large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability
     to dax-mmap a block device directly.

   - Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all
     io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access
     while a driver is actively using an address range.  This behavior
     is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be
     overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line
     option.

   - Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
     block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes"

<title>selftests/x86: Test __kernel_sigreturn and __kernel_rt_sigreturn</title>

The vdso-based sigreturn mechanism is fragile and isn't used by
modern glibc so, if we break it, we'll only notice when someone
tests an unusual libc.

Add an explicit selftest.

[ I wrote this while debugging a Bionic breakage -- my first guess
  was that I had somehow messed up sigreturn.  I've caused problems in
  that code before, and it's really easy to fail to notice it because
  there's nothing on a modern distro that needs vdso-based sigreturn. ]
