<title>kvm: rename KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED to KVM_HINTS_REALTIME</title>

KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED seems to be somewhat confusing:

Guest doesn't really care whether it's the only task running on a host
CPU as long as it's not preempted.

And there are more reasons for Guest to be preempted than host CPU
sharing, for example, with memory overcommit it can get preempted on a
memory access, post copy migration can cause preemption, etc.

Let's call it KVM_HINTS_REALTIME which seems to better
match what guests expect.

Also, the flag most be set on all vCPUs - current guests assume this.
Note so in the documentation.

<title>x86/ipc: Fix x32 version of shmid64_ds and msqid64_ds</title>

<id>1a512c0882bd311c5b5561840fcfbe4c25b8f319</id>
<content type='text'>
A bugfix broke the x32 shmid64_ds and msqid64_ds data structure layout
(as seen from user space)  a few years ago: Originally, __BITS_PER_LONG
was defined as 64 on x32, so we did not have padding after the 64-bit
__kernel_time_t fields, After __BITS_PER_LONG got changed to 32,
applications would observe extra padding.

In other parts of the uapi headers we seem to have a mix of those
expecting either 32 or 64 on x32 applications, so we can't easily revert
the path that broke these two structures.

Instead, this patch decouples x32 from the other architectures and moves
it back into arch specific headers, partially reverting the even older
commit 73a2d096fdf2 ("x86: remove all now-duplicate header files").

It's not clear whether this ever made any difference, since at least
glibc carries its own (correct) copy of both of these header files,
so possibly no application has ever observed the definitions here.

Based on a suggestion from H.J. Lu, I tried out the tool from
https://github.com/hjl-tools/linux-header to find other such
bugs, which pointed out the same bug in statfs(), which also has
a separate (correct) copy in glibc.

<title>y2038: x86: Extend sysvipc data structures</title>

<id>c039dbd5f4bbf3547fde7ce9f7403e25938aa253</id>
<content type='text'>
This extends the x86 copy of the sysvipc data structures to deal with
32-bit user space that has 64-bit time_t and wants to see timestamps
beyond 2038.

Fortunately, x86 has padding for this purpose in all the data structures,
so we can just add extra fields. With msgid64_ds and shmid64_ds, the
data structure is identical to the asm-generic version, which we have
already extended.

For some reason however, the 64-bit version of semid64_ds ended up with
extra padding, so I'm implementing the same approach as the asm-generic
version here, by using separate fields for the upper and lower halves
of the two timestamps.

Pull char/misc updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of char/misc driver patches for 4.17-rc1.

  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

   -  mei updates (as always)

   -  hwtracing driver updates

   -  hyperv driver updates

   -  extcon driver updates

   -  ... and a handful of even smaller driver subsystem and individual
      driver updates

  All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues"

<title>x86/hyper-v: move hyperv.h out of uapi</title>

hyperv.h is not part of uapi, there are no (known) users outside of kernel.
We are making changes to this file to match current Hyper-V Hypervisor
Top-Level Functional Specification (TLFS, see:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/reference/tlfs)
and we don't want to maintain backwards compatibility.

Move the file renaming to hyperv-tlfs.h to avoid confusing it with
mshyperv.h. In future, all definitions from TLFS should go to it and
all kernel objects should go to mshyperv.h or include/linux/hyperv.h.
