      Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
       "A small batch of fixes for v4.20-rc3.
      
        The overflow continuation fix addresses something that has been broken
        for several releases. Arguably it could wait even longer, but it's a
        one line fix and this finishes the last of the known address range
        scrub bug reports. The revert addresses a lockdep regression. The unit
        tests are not critical to fix, but no reason to hold this fix back.
      
        Summary:
      
         - Address Range Scrub overflow continuation handling has been broken
           since it was initially merged. It was only recently that error
           injection and platform-BIOS support enabled this corner case to be
           exercised.
      
         - The recent attempt to provide more isolation for the kernel Address
           Range Scrub state machine from userapace initiated sessions
           triggers a lockdep report. Revert and try again at the next merge
           window.
      
         - Fix a kasan reported buffer overflow in libnvdimm unit test
           infrastrucutre (nfit_test)"

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull ARM spectre updates from Russell King:
       "These are the currently known final bits that resolve the Spectre
        issues. big.Little systems used to be sufficiently identical in that
        there were no differences between individual CPUs in the system that
        mattered to the kernel. With the advent of the Spectre problem, the
        CPUs now have differences in how the workaround is applied.
      
        As a result of previous Spectre patches, these systems ended up
        reporting quite a lot of:
      
           "CPUx: Spectre v2: incorrect context switching function, system vulnerable"
      
        messages due to the action of the big.Little switcher causing the CPUs
        to be re-initialised regularly. This series resolves that issue by
        making the CPU vtable unique to each CPU.
      
        However, since this is used very early, before per-cpu is setup,
        per-cpu can't be used. We also have a problem that two of the methods
        are not called from preempt-safe paths, but thankfully these remain
        identical between all CPUs in the system. To make sure, we validate
        that these are identical during boot"
      
      * 'spectre' of git://git.armlinux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm:
        ARM: spectre-v2: per-CPU vtables to work around big.Little systems
        ARM: add PROC_VTABLE and PROC_TABLE macros
        ARM: clean up per-processor check_bugs method call
