Pull x86 pti updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This contains:

   - a PTI bugfix to avoid setting reserved CR3 bits when PCID is
     disabled. This seems to cause issues on a virtual machine at least
     and is incorrect according to the AMD manual.

   - a PTI bugfix which disables the perf BTS facility if PTI is
     enabled. The BTS AUX buffer is not globally visible and causes the
     CPU to fault when the mapping disappears on switching CR3 to user
     space. A full fix which restores BTS on PTI is non trivial and will
     be worked on.

   - PTI bugfixes for EFI and trusted boot which make sure that the user
     space visible page table entries have the NX bit cleared

   - removal of dead code in the PTI pagetable setup functions

   - add PTI documentation

   - add a selftest for vsyscall to verify that the kernel actually
     implements what it advertises.

   - a sysfs interface to expose vulnerability and mitigation
     information so there is a coherent way for users to retrieve the
     status.

   - the initial spectre_v2 mitigations, aka retpoline:

      + The necessary ASM thunk and compiler support

      + The ASM variants of retpoline and the conversion of affected ASM
        code

      + Make LFENCE serializing on AMD so it can be used as speculation
        trap

      + The RSB fill after vmexit

   - initial objtool support for retpoline

  As I said in the status mail this is the most of the set of patches
  which should go into 4.15 except two straight forward patches still on
  hold:

   - the retpoline add on of LFENCE which waits for ACKs

   - the RSB fill after context switch

  Both should be ready to go early next week and with that we'll have
  covered the major holes of spectre_v2 and go back to normality"

As the meltdown/spectre problem affects several CPU architectures, it makes
sense to have common way to express whether a system is affected by a
particular vulnerability or not. If affected the way to express the
mitigation should be common as well.

Create /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities folder and files for
meltdown, spectre_v1 and spectre_v2.

Allow architectures to override the show function.

Pull x86 platform driver updates from Andy Shevchenko:
 "Here is the collected material against Platform Drivers x86 subsystem.
  It's rather bit busy cycle for PDx86, mostly due to Dell SMBIOS driver
  activity

  For this cycle we have quite an update for the Dell SMBIOS driver
  including WMI work to provide an interface for SMBIOS tokens via sysfs
  and WMI support for 2017+ Dell laptop models. SMM dispatcher code is
  split into a separate driver followed by a new WMI dispatcher. The
  latter provides a character device interface to user space.

  The git history also contains a merge of immutable branch from Wolfram
  Sang in order to apply a dependent fix to the Intel CherryTrail
  Battery Management driver.

  Other Intel drivers got a lot of cleanups. The Turbo Boost Max 3.0
  support is added for Intel Skylake.

  Peaq WMI hotkeys driver gets its own maintainer and white list of
  supported models.

  Silead DMI is expanded to support few additional platforms.

  Tablet mode via GMMS ACPI method is added to support some ThinkPad
  tablets.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this round, we introduce sysfile-based quota support which is
  required for Android by default. In addition, we allow that users are
  able to reserve some blocks in runtime to mitigate performance drops
  in low free space.

  Enhancements:
   - assign proper data segments according to write_hints given by user
   - issue cache_flush on dirty devices only among multiple devices
   - exploit cp_error flag and add more faults to enhance fault
     injection test
   - conduct more readaheads during f2fs_readdir
   - add a range for discard commands

  Bug fixes:
   - fix zero stat-&gt;st_blocks when inline_data is set
   - drop crypto key and free stale memory pointer while evict_inode is
     failing
   - fix some corner cases in free space and segment management
   - fix wrong last_disk_size

  This series includes lots of clean-ups and code enhancement in terms
  of xattr operations, discard/flush command control. In addition, it
  adds versatile debugfs entries to monitor f2fs status"

Pull staging and IIO updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "big" staging and IIO driver update for 4.15-rc1.

  Lots and lots of little changes, almost all minor code cleanups as the
  Outreachy application process happened during this development cycle.
  Also happened was a lot of IIO driver activity, and the typec USB code
  moving out of staging to drivers/usb (same commits are in the USB tree
  on a persistent branch to not cause merge issues.)

  Overall, it's a wash, I think we added a few hundred more lines than
  removed, but really only a few thousand were modified at all.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while. There might be a
  merge issue with Al's vfs tree in the pi433 driver (take his changes,
  they are always better), and the media tree with some of the odd
  atomisp cleanups (take the media tree's version)"

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "There are no real big ticket items here this time.

  The most noticeable change is probably the relocation of the OPP
  (Operating Performance Points) framework to its own directory under
  drivers/ as it has grown big enough for that. Also Viresh is now going
  to maintain it and send pull requests for it to me, so you will see
  this change in the git history going forward (but still not right
  now).

  Another noticeable set of changes is the modifications of the PM core,
  the PCI subsystem and the ACPI PM domain to allow of more integration
  between system-wide suspend/resume and runtime PM. For now it's just a
  way to avoid resuming devices from runtime suspend unnecessarily
  during system suspend (if the driver sets a flag to indicate its
  readiness for that) and in the works is an analogous mechanism to
  allow devices to stay suspended after system resume.

  In addition to that, we have some changes related to supporting
  frequency-invariant CPU utilization metrics in the scheduler and in
  the schedutil cpufreq governor on ARM and changes to add support for
  device performance states to the generic power domains (genpd)
  framework.

  The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups of various sorts.

  Specifics:

   - Relocate the OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework to its
     own directory under drivers/ and add support for power domain
     performance states to it (Viresh Kumar).

   - Modify the PM core, the PCI bus type and the ACPI PM domain to
     support power management driver flags allowing device drivers to
     specify their capabilities and preferences regarding the handling
     of devices with enabled runtime PM during system suspend/resume and
     clean up that code somewhat (Rafael Wysocki, Ulf Hansson).

   - Add frequency-invariant accounting support to the task scheduler on
     ARM and ARM64 (Dietmar Eggemann).

   - Fix PM QoS device resume latency framework to prevent "no
     restriction" requests from overriding requests with specific
     requirements and drop the confusing PM_QOS_FLAG_REMOTE_WAKEUP
     device PM QoS flag (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Drop legacy class suspend/resume operations from the PM core and
     drop legacy bus type suspend and resume callbacks from ARM/locomo
     (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Add min/max frequency support to devfreq and clean it up somewhat
     (Chanwoo Choi).

   - Rework wakeup support in the generic power domains (genpd)
     framework and update some of its users accordingly (Geert
     Uytterhoeven).

   - Convert timers in the PM core to use timer_setup() (Kees Cook).

   - Add support for exposing the SLP_S0 (Low Power S0 Idle) residency
     counter based on the LPIT ACPI table on Intel platforms (Srinivas
     Pandruvada).

   - Add per-CPU PM QoS resume latency support to the ladder cpuidle
     governor (Ramesh Thomas).

   - Fix a deadlock between the wakeup notify handler and the notifier
     removal in the ACPI core (Ville Syrjälä).

   - Fix a cpufreq schedutil governor issue causing it to use stale
     cached frequency values sometimes (Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix an issue in the system suspend core support code causing wakeup
     events detection to fail in some cases (Rajat Jain).

   - Fix the generic power domains (genpd) framework to prevent the PM
     core from using the direct-complete optimization with it as that is
     guaranteed to fail (Ulf Hansson).

   - Fix a minor issue in the cpuidle core and clean it up a bit (Gaurav
     Jindal, Nicholas Piggin).

   - Fix and clean up the intel_idle and ARM cpuidle drivers (Jason

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "There are no real big ticket items here this time.

  The most noticeable change is probably the relocation of the OPP
  (Operating Performance Points) framework to its own directory under
  drivers/ as it has grown big enough for that. Also Viresh is now going
  to maintain it and send pull requests for it to me, so you will see
  this change in the git history going forward (but still not right
  now).

  Another noticeable set of changes is the modifications of the PM core,
  the PCI subsystem and the ACPI PM domain to allow of more integration
  between system-wide suspend/resume and runtime PM. For now it's just a
  way to avoid resuming devices from runtime suspend unnecessarily
  during system suspend (if the driver sets a flag to indicate its
  readiness for that) and in the works is an analogous mechanism to
  allow devices to stay suspended after system resume.

  In addition to that, we have some changes related to supporting
  frequency-invariant CPU utilization metrics in the scheduler and in
  the schedutil cpufreq governor on ARM and changes to add support for
  device performance states to the generic power domains (genpd)
  framework.

  The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups of various sorts.

  Specifics:

   - Relocate the OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework to its
     own directory under drivers/ and add support for power domain
     performance states to it (Viresh Kumar).

   - Modify the PM core, the PCI bus type and the ACPI PM domain to
     support power management driver flags allowing device drivers to
     specify their capabilities and preferences regarding the handling
     of devices with enabled runtime PM during system suspend/resume and
     clean up that code somewhat (Rafael Wysocki, Ulf Hansson).

   - Add frequency-invariant accounting support to the task scheduler on
     ARM and ARM64 (Dietmar Eggemann).

   - Fix PM QoS device resume latency framework to prevent "no
     restriction" requests from overriding requests with specific
     requirements and drop the confusing PM_QOS_FLAG_REMOTE_WAKEUP
     device PM QoS flag (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Drop legacy class suspend/resume operations from the PM core and
     drop legacy bus type suspend and resume callbacks from ARM/locomo
     (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Add min/max frequency support to devfreq and clean it up somewhat
     (Chanwoo Choi).

   - Rework wakeup support in the generic power domains (genpd)
     framework and update some of its users accordingly (Geert
     Uytterhoeven).

   - Convert timers in the PM core to use timer_setup() (Kees Cook).

   - Add support for exposing the SLP_S0 (Low Power S0 Idle) residency
     counter based on the LPIT ACPI table on Intel platforms (Srinivas
     Pandruvada).

   - Add per-CPU PM QoS resume latency support to the ladder cpuidle
     governor (Ramesh Thomas).

   - Fix a deadlock between the wakeup notify handler and the notifier
     removal in the ACPI core (Ville Syrjälä).

   - Fix a cpufreq schedutil governor issue causing it to use stale
     cached frequency values sometimes (Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix an issue in the system suspend core support code causing wakeup
     events detection to fail in some cases (Rajat Jain).

   - Fix the generic power domains (genpd) framework to prevent the PM
     core from using the direct-complete optimization with it as that is
     guaranteed to fail (Ulf Hansson).

   - Fix a minor issue in the cpuidle core and clean it up a bit (Gaurav
     Jindal, Nicholas Piggin).

   - Fix and clean up the intel_idle and ARM cpuidle drivers (Jason
     Baron, Len Brown, Leo Yan).

   - Fix a couple of minor issues in the OPP framework and clean it up
     (Arvind Yadav, Fabio Estevam, Sudeep Holla, Tobias Jordan).

   - Fix and clean up some cpufreq drivers and fix a minor issue in the
     cpufreq statistics code (Arvind Yadav, Bhumika Goyal, Fabio
     Estevam, Gautham Shenoy, Gustavo Silva, Marek Szyprowski, Masahiro
     Yamada, Robert Jarzmik, Zumeng Chen).

   - Fix minor issues in the system suspend and hibernation core, in
     power management documentation and in the AVS (Adaptive Voltage
     Scaling) framework (Helge Deller, Himanshu Jha, Joe Perches, Rafael
     Wysocki).

     Khan is going to maintain it going forward (Prarit Bhargava, Shuah

Pull security subsystem integrity updates from James Morris:
 "There is a mixture of bug fixes, code cleanup, preparatory code for
  new functionality and new functionality.

  Commit 26ddabfe96bb ("evm: enable EVM when X509 certificate is
  loaded") enabled EVM without loading a symmetric key, but was limited
  to defining the x509 certificate pathname at build. Included in this
  set of patches is the ability of enabling EVM, without loading the EVM
  symmetric key, from userspace. New is the ability to prevent the
  loading of an EVM symmetric key."

* 'next-integrity' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security:
  ima: Remove redundant conditional operator
  ima: Fix bool initialization/comparison
  ima: check signature enforcement against cmdline param instead of CONFIG
  module: export module signature enforcement status
  ima: fix hash algorithm initialization
  EVM: Only complain about a missing HMAC key once
  EVM: Allow userspace to signal an RSA key has been loaded
  EVM: Include security.apparmor in EVM measurements
  ima: call ima_file_free() prior to calling fasync
  integrity: use kernel_read_file_from_path() to read x509 certs
  ima: always measure and audit files in policy
  ima: don't remove the securityfs policy file
  vfs: fix mounting a filesystem with i_version
