        There are a lot of little things in here, nothing huge, but all
        important to the different hardware types involved:
      
         -  thunderbolt driver updates
      
         -  parport updates (people still care...)
      
         -  nvmem driver updates

       "Here is the big set of Staging/IIO driver patches for 4.17-rc1.
      
        It is a lot, over 500 changes, but not huge by previous kernel release
        standards. We deleted more lines than we added again (27k added vs.
        91k remvoed), thanks to finally being able to delete the IRDA drivers
        and networking code.
      
        We also deleted the ccree crypto driver, but that's coming back in
        through the crypto tree to you, in a much cleaned-up form.
      
        Added this round is at lot of "mt7621" device support, which is for an
        embedded device that Neil Brown cares about, and of course a handful
        of new IIO drivers as well.
      
        And finally, the fsl-mc core code moved out of the staging tree to the
        "real" part of the kernel, which is nice to see happen as well.
      
        Full details are in the shortlog, which has all of the tiny cleanup

       "This fixes some fallout from the net-next merge the other day, plus
        some non-merge-window-related bug fixes:
      
        1) Fix sparse warnings in bcmgenet, systemport, b53, and mt7530
           (Florian Fainelli)
      
        2) pptp does a bogus dst_release() on a route we have a single
           refcount on, and attached to a socket, which needs that refcount
           (Eric Dumazet)
      
        3) UDP connected sockets on ipv6 can race with route update handling,
           resulting in a pre-PMTU update route still stuck on the socket and
           thus continuing to get ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG errors. We end up never
           seeing the updated route. (Alexey Kodanev)
      
        4) Missing list initializer(s) in TIPC (Jon Maloy)
      
        5) Connect phy early to prevent crashes in lan78xx driver (Alexander
           Graf)
      
        6) Fix build with modular NVMEM (Arnd Bergmann)
      
        7) netdevsim canot mark nsim_devlink_net_ops and nsim_fib_net_ops as

       "This contains the new features we'd like to incorporate into the
        RISC-V port for 4.17. We might have a bit more stuff land later in the
        merge window, but I wanted to get this out earlier just so everyone
        can see where we currently stand.
      
        A short summary of the changes is:
      
         - We've added support for dynamic ftrace on RISC-V targets.
      
         - There have been a handful of cleanups to our atomic and locking
           routines. They now more closely match the released RISC-V memory
           model draft.
      
         - Our module loading support has been cleaned up and is now enabled
           by default, despite some limitations still existing.
      
         - A patch to define COMMANDLINE_FORCE instead of COMMANDLINE_OVERRIDE
           so the generic device tree code picks up handling all our command
           line stuff.
      
        There's more information in the merge commits for each patch set"

      Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
       "Nothing particularly stands out here, probably because people were
        tied up with spectre/meltdown stuff last time around. Still, the main
        pieces are:
      
         - Rework of our CPU features framework so that we can whitelist CPUs
           that don't require kpti even in a heterogeneous system
      
         - Support for the IDC/DIC architecture extensions, which allow us to
           elide instruction and data cache maintenance when writing out
           instructions
      
         - Removal of the large memory model which resulted in suboptimal
           codegen by the compiler and increased the use of literal pools,
           which could potentially be used as ROP gadgets since they are
           mapped as executable
      
         - Rework of forced signal delivery so that the siginfo_t is
           well-formed and handling of show_unhandled_signals is consolidated
           and made consistent between different fault types
      
         - More siginfo cleanup based on the initial patches from Eric
           Biederman
      
         - Workaround for Cortex-A55 erratum #1024718
      
         - Some small ACPI IORT updates and cleanups from Lorenzo Pieralisi
      
         - Misc cleanups and non-critical fixes"

           multi-platform kernels generic
      
         - A new sysfs file which allows to retrieve the wakeup state of
           interrupts.
      
         - Ensure that the interrupt thread follows the effective affinity and
           not the programmed affinity to avoid cross core wakeups.
      
         - Two new interrupt controller drivers (Microsemi Ocelot and Qualcomm
           PDC)

      Pull time(r) updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "A small set of updates for timers and timekeeping:
      
         - The most interesting change is the consolidation of clock MONOTONIC
           and clock BOOTTIME.
      
           Clock MONOTONIC behaves now exactly like clock BOOTTIME and does
           not longer ignore the time spent in suspend. A new clock
           MONOTONIC_ACTIVE is provived which behaves like clock MONOTONIC in
           kernels before this change. This allows applications to
           programmatically check for the clock MONOTONIC behaviour.
      
           As discussed in the review thread, this has the potential of
           breaking user space and we might have to revert this. Knock on wood
           that we can avoid that exercise.
      
         - Updates to the NTP mechanism to improve accuracy
      
         - A new kernel internal data structure to aid the ongoing Y2038 work.
      
         - Cleanups and simplifications of the clocksource code.
      
         - Make the alarmtimer code play nicely with debugobjects"
