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 GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.15 kernel cycle:

  Core:

   - Fix the semantics of raw GPIO to actually be raw. No inversion
     semantics as before, but also no open draining, and allow the raw
     operations to affect lines used for interrupts as the caller
     supposedly knows what they are doing if they are getting the big
     hammer.

   - Rewrote the __inner_function() notation calls to names that make
     more sense. I just find this kind of code disturbing.

   - Drop the .irq_base() field from the gpiochip since now all IRQs are
     mapped dynamically. This is nice.

   - Support for .get_multiple() in the core driver API. This allows us
     to read several GPIO lines with a single register read. This has
     high value for some usecases: it can be used to create
     oscilloscopes and signal analyzers and other things that rely on
     reading several lines at exactly the same instant. Also a generally
     nice optimization. This uses the new assign_bit() macro from the
     bitops lib that was ACKed by Andrew Morton and is implemented for
     two drivers, one of them being the generic MMIO driver so everyone
     using that will be able to benefit from this.

   - Do not allow requests of Open Drain and Open Source setting of a
     GPIO line simultaneously. If the hardware actually supports
     enabling both at the same time the electrical result would be
     disastrous.

   - A new interrupt chip core helper. This will be helpful to deal with
     "banked" GPIOs, which means GPIO controllers with several logical
     blocks of GPIO inside them. This is several gpiochips per device in
     the device model, in contrast to the case when there is a 1-to-1
     relationship between a device and a gpiochip.

  New drivers:

   - Maxim MAX3191x industrial serializer, a very interesting piece of
     professional I/O hardware.

   - Uniphier GPIO driver. This is the GPIO block from the recent
     Socionext (ex Fujitsu and Panasonic) platform.

   - Tegra 186 driver. This is based on the new banked GPIO
     infrastructure.

  Other improvements:

   - Some documentation improvements.

   - Wakeup support for the DesignWare DWAPB GPIO controller.

   - Reset line support on the DesignWare DWAPB GPIO controller.

   - Several non-critical bug fixes and improvements for the Broadcom
     BRCMSTB driver.

   - Misc non-critical bug fixes like exotic errorpaths, removal of dead
     code etc.

   - Explicit comments on fall-through switch() statements"

 "This is the main pull request for block storage for 4.15-rc1.

  Nothing out of the ordinary in here, and no API changes or anything
  like that. Just various new features for drivers, core changes, etc.
  In particular, this pull request contains:

   - A patch series from Bart, closing the whole on blk/scsi-mq queue
     quescing.

   - A series from Christoph, building towards hidden gendisks (for
     multipath) and ability to move bio chains around.

   - NVMe
        - Support for native multipath for NVMe (Christoph).
        - Userspace notifications for AENs (Keith).
        - Command side-effects support (Keith).
        - SGL support (Chaitanya Kulkarni)
        - FC fixes and improvements (James Smart)
        - Lots of fixes and tweaks (Various)

   - bcache
        - New maintainer (Michael Lyle)
        - Writeback control improvements (Michael)
        - Various fixes (Coly, Elena, Eric, Liang, et al)

   - lightnvm updates, mostly centered around the pblk interface
     (Javier, Hans, and Rakesh).

   - Removal of unused bio/bvec kmap atomic interfaces (me, Christoph)

   - Writeback series that fix the much discussed hundreds of millions
     of sync-all units. This goes all the way, as discussed previously
     (me).

   - Fix for missing wakeup on writeback timer adjustments (Yafang
     Shao).

   - Fix laptop mode on blk-mq (me).

   - {mq,name} tupple lookup for IO schedulers, allowing us to have
     alias names. This means you can use 'deadline' on both !mq and on
     mq (where it's called mq-deadline). (me).

   - blktrace race fix, oopsing on sg load (me).

   - blk-mq optimizations (me).

   - Obscure waitqueue race fix for kyber (Omar).

   - NBD fixes (Josef).

   - Disable writeback throttling by default on bfq, like we do on cfq
     (Luca Miccio).

   - Series from Ming that enable us to treat flush requests on blk-mq
     like any other request. This is a really nice cleanup.

   - Series from Ming that improves merging on blk-mq with schedulers,
     getting us closer to flipping the switch on scsi-mq again.

   - BFQ updates (Paolo).

   - blk-mq atomic flags memory ordering fixes (Peter Z).

   - Loop cgroup support (Shaohua).

   - Lots of minor fixes from lots of different folks, both for core and
     driver code"

* 'for-4.15/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (294 commits)
  nvme: fix visibility of "uuid" ns attribute
  blk-mq: fixup some comment typos and lengths
  ide: ide-atapi: fix compile error with defining macro DEBUG
  blk-mq: improve tag waiting setup for non-shared tags
  brd: remove unused brd_mutex
  blk-mq: only run the hardware queue if IO is pending
  block: avoid null pointer dereference on null disk
  fs: guard_bio_eod() needs to consider partitions
  xtensa/simdisk: fix compile error
  nvme: expose subsys attribute to sysfs
  nvme: create 'slaves' and 'holders' entries for hidden controllers
  block: create 'slaves' and 'holders' entries for hidden gendisks
  nvme: also expose the namespace identification sysfs files for mpath nodes
  nvme: implement multipath access to nvme subsystems
  nvme: track shared namespaces
  nvme: introduce a nvme_ns_ids structure
  nvme: track subsystems
  block, nvme: Introduce blk_mq_req_flags_t
  block, scsi: Make SCSI quiesce and resume work reliably

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)"
