      Pull core signal updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "These updates from Stas Sergeev and Andy Lutomirski, improve the
        sigaltstack interface by extending its ABI with the SS_AUTODISARM
        feature, which makes it possible to use swapcontext() in a sighandler
        that works on sigaltstack.  Without this flag, the subsequent signal
        will corrupt the state of the switched-away sighandler.
      
        The inspiration is more robust dosemu signal handling"

      The hash mixing between adding the next 64 bits of name
      was just a bit weak.
      
      Replaced with a still very fast but slightly more effective
      mixing function.

       "During v4.6-rc1 cgroup namespace support was merged.  There is an
        issue where it's impossible to tell whether a given cgroup mount point
        is bind mounted or namespaced.  Serge has been working on the issue
        but it took longer than expected to resolve, so the late pull request.
      
        Given that it's a completely new feature and the patches don't touch
        anything else, the risk seems acceptable.  However, if this is too
        late, an alternative is plugging new cgroup ns creation for v4.6 and
        retrying for v4.7"
