      Pul removal of obsolete architecture ports from Arnd Bergmann:
       "This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv,
        m32r, metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device
        drivers.
      
        I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to
        ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely
        unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the
        respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream,
        but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
      
        In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
        different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in
        charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
        ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
        CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It
        seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not
        used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In
        contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively
        maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
      
        [ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next
          generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU
          microarchitecture and a software ecosystem"   - Linus ]
      
        The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
        https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
        marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I
        made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile,
        mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old
        kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel
        releases.
      
        After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
        gcc support:
      
         - unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
           maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
           in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
      
         - openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing
           their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first
           place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some
           degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1.
           Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation
           will be similar
      
        [ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc
          since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum  - Linus ]"

      Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "The main kernel side changes were:
      
         - Modernize the kprobe and uprobe creation/destruction tooling ABIs:
      
           The existing text based APIs (kprobe_events and uprobe_events in
           tracefs), are naive, limited ABIs in that they require user-space
           to clean up after themselves, which is both difficult and fragile
           if the tool is buggy or exits unexpectedly. In other words they are
           not really suited for modern, robust tooling.
      
           So introduce a modern, file descriptor based ABI that does not have
           these limitations: introduce the 'perf_kprobe' and 'perf_uprobe'
           PMUs and extend the perf_event_open() syscall to create events with
           a kprobe/uprobe attached to them. These [k,u]probe are associated
           with this file descriptor, so they are not available in tracefs.

         - Improve the performance of pinned/flexible event groups by using RB
           trees (Alexey Budankov)
      
         - Add PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES which allows the modification
           of hardware breakpoints, which new ABI variant massively speeds up
           existing tooling that uses hardware breakpoints to instrument (and
           debug) memory usage.

              improves the navigation along jumps and back. (Arnaldo Carvalho

            * Add the 'P' hotkey in TUI annotation to dump annotation output
              into a file, to ease e-mail reporting of annotation details.
              (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
            * Add an IPC/cycles column to the TUI (Jin Yao)
      
            * Improve s390 assembly annotation (Thomas Richter)
      
            * Refactor the output formatting logic to better separate it into
              interactive and non-interactive features and add the --stdio2
              output variant to demonstrate this. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
         - 'perf script' improvements:
      
            * Add Python 3 support (Jaroslav Škarvada)
      
            * Add --show-round-event (Jiri Olsa)
      
         - 'perf c2c' improvements:

         - 'perf sched' improvements (Changbin Du)

      Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "The main changes in the locking subsystem in this cycle were:
      
         - Add the Linux Kernel Memory Consistency Model (LKMM) subsystem,
           which is an an array of tools in tools/memory-model/ that formally
           describe the Linux memory coherency model (a.k.a.
           Documentation/memory-barriers.txt), and also produce 'litmus tests'
           in form of kernel code which can be directly executed and tested.
      
           Here's a high level background article about an earlier version of
           this work on LWN.net:
      
              https://lwn.net/Articles/718628/
      
           The design principles:
      
            "There is reason to believe that Documentation/memory-barriers.txt
             could use some help, and a major purpose of this patch is to
             provide that help in the form of a design-time tool that can
             produce all valid executions of a small fragment of concurrent
             Linux-kernel code, which is called a "litmus test". This tool's
             functionality is roughly similar to a full state-space search.
             Please note that this is a design-time tool, not useful for
             regression testing. However, we hope that the underlying
             Linux-kernel memory model will be incorporated into other tools
             capable of analyzing large bodies of code for regression-testing
             purposes."
      
           [...]
      
            "A second tool is klitmus7, which converts litmus tests to
             loadable kernel modules for direct testing. As with herd7, the
             klitmus7 code is freely available from
      
               http://diy.inria.fr/sources/index.html
