Pull wchan kernel address hiding from Ingo Molnar:
 "This fixes a wchan related information leak in /proc/PID/stat.

  There's a bit of an ABI twist to it: instead of setting the wchan
  field to 0 (which is our usual technique) we set it conditionally to a
  0/1 flag to keep ABI compatibility with older procps versions that
  only fetches /proc/PID/wchan (symbolic names) if the absolute wchan
  address is nonzero"

* 'core-debug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  fs/proc, core/debug: Don't expose absolute kernel addresses via wchan
