Hi Linus,

The following changes since commit b884a190afcecdbef34ca508ea5ee88bb7c77861:

  metag/usercopy: Add missing fixups (2017-04-05 15:25:07 +0100)

are available in the git repository at:

  metag/mm: Drop pointless increment (2017-05-03 09:56:04 +0100)

A conflict is expected between commit db68ce10c4f0 ("new helper:
uaccess_kernel()") in mainline which changes __kernel_ok() to use
uaccess_kernel(), and commit 8a8b56638bca ("metag/uaccess: Fix
access_ok()") in my tree which removes __kernel_ok(). __kernel_ok()
isn't needed since my commit and can be removed in the resolution.

Cheers
James

metag: Changes for 4.12

These patches primarily make some usercopy improvements (following on
from the recent usercopy fixes):
- Reformat and simplify rapf copy loops
- Add 64-bit get_user support

And fix a couple more uaccess issues, partily pointed out by Al:
- Fix access_ok() serious shortcomings
- Fix strncpy_from_user() address validation

Also included is a trivial removal of a redundant increment.
