         - virtual interrupt controller performance improvements
         - support for userspace virtual interrupt controller (slower, but
           necessary for KVM on the weird Broadcom SoCs used by the Raspberry
           Pi 3)
      
        MIPS:
         - basic support for hardware virtualization (ImgTec P5600/P6600/I6400
           and Cavium Octeon III)

       "Lots of little things this time:
      
         - allow modules to be autoloaded according to the HWCAP feature bits
           (used primarily for crypto modules)
      
         - split module core and init PLT sections, since the core code and
           init code could be placed far apart, and the PLT sections need to
           be local to the code block.
      
         - three patches from Chris Brandt to allow Cortex-A9 L2 cache
           optimisations to be disabled where a SoC didn't wire up the out of
           band signals.
      
         - NoMMU compliance fixes, avoiding corruption of vector table which
           is not being used at this point, and avoiding possible register
           state corruption when switching mode.
      
         - fixmap memory attribute compliance update.

        block allocation, GC, and discard/in-place-update IO controls. There
        are a bunch of clean-ups as well as minor bug fixes.
      
        Enhancements:
         - disable heap-based allocation by default
         - issue small-sized discard commands by default
         - change the policy of data hotness for logging
         - distinguish IOs in terms of size and wbc type

         - enhance data structures managing discard commands
         - enhance in-place update flow
         - add some more fault injection routines
         - secure one more xattr entry
      
        Bug fixes:
         - calculate victim cost for GC correctly
         - remain correct victim segment number for GC
         - race condition in nid allocator and initializer
         - stale pointer produced by atomic_writes

      refcount: change EXPORT_SYMBOL markings · d557d1b5
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored
      Now that kref is using the refcount apis, the _GPL markings are getting
      exported to places that it previously wasn't.  Now kref.h is GPLv2
      licensed, so any non-GPL code using it better be talking to some
      lawyers, but changing api markings isn't considered "nice", so let's fix
      this up.

      docs: bump minimal GNU Make version to 3.81 · 37d69ee3
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      Since 2014, you can't successfully build kernels with GNU Make version
      3.80. Example errors:
      
        $ git describe
        v4.11
        $ make --version | head -1
        GNU Make 3.80
        $ make defconfig
          HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
        scripts/Makefile.host:135: *** missing separator.  Stop.
        make: *** [defconfig] Error 2
        $ make ARCH=arm64 help
        arch/arm64/Makefile:43: *** unterminated call to function `warning': missing `)'.  Stop.
        $ make help >/dev/null
        ./Documentation/Makefile.sphinx:25: Extraneous text after `else' directive
        ./Documentation/Makefile.sphinx:31: *** only one `else' per conditional.  Stop.
        make: *** [help] Error 2
      
      The first breakage was introduced by commit c8589d1e ("kbuild:
      handle multi-objs dependency appropriately").  Since then (i.e. v3.18),
      GNU Make 3.80 has not been able to compile the kernel, but nobody has
      ever complained aboutt (or noticed) it.
      
      Even GNU Make 3.81 is more than 10 years old.  It would not hurt to
      match the documentation with reality instead of fixing makefiles.

      initramfs: avoid "label at end of compound statement" error · 394e4f5d
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit 17a9be31 ("initramfs: Always do fput() and load modules after
      rootfs populate") introduced an error for the
      
          CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y
      
      case, because even though the code looks fine, the compiler really wants
      a statement after a label, or you'll get complaints:
      
        init/initramfs.c: In function 'populate_rootfs':
        init/initramfs.c:644:2: error: label at end of compound statement
      
      That commit moved the subsequent statements to outside the compound
      statement, leaving the label without any associated statements.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
       "The bulk of this has been in multiple -next releases. There were a few
        late breaking fixes and small features that got added in the last
        couple days, but the whole set has received a build success
        notification from the kbuild robot.
      
        Change summary:
      
         - Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the
           parent to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been
           reported via the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block
           devices for namespaces in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that
           namespaces can be in "device-dax" or "btt-sector" mode this new
           interface reports media errors generically, i.e. independent of
           namespace modes or state.
      
           This subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1
           Section 9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error"
           requests and submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus
           devices.
      
         - Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted
           by a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for
           dax capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations.
           This fixes the broken assumption that all dax operations are
           related to a persistent memory device, and makes it easier for
           other architectures and platforms to add customized persistent
           memory support.
      
         - 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is
           available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger
           memory controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would
           otherwise be flushed automatically by the platform ADR
           (asynchronous-DRAM-refresh) mechanism at a power loss event.
           Support for "locked" DIMMs is included to prevent namespaces from
           surfacing when the namespace label data area is locked. Finally,
           fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes, also tagged for
           -stable.
      
         - ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to
           add DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM
           payload debug available by default, and various fixes.

       "Here is the big staging tree update for 4.12-rc1.
      
        It's a big one, adding about 350k new lines of crap^Wcode, mostly all
        in a big dump of media drivers from Intel. But there's other new
        drivers in here as well, yet-another-wifi driver, new IIO drivers, and
        a new crypto accelerator.
      
        We also deleted a bunch of stuff, mostly in patch cleanups, but also
        the Android ION code has shrunk a lot, and the Android low memory
        killer driver was finally deleted, much to the celebration of the -mm
        developers.
      
        All of these have been in linux-next with a few build issues that will
        show up when you merge to your tree"
