Merge more incoming from Andrew Morton:
 "Two new syscalls:

     memfd_create in "shm: add memfd_create() syscall"
     kexec_file_load in "kexec: implementation of new syscall kexec_file_load"

  And:

   - Most (all?) of the rest of MM

   - Lots of the usual misc bits

   - fs/autofs4

   - drivers/rtc

   - fs/nilfs

   - procfs

   - fork.c, exec.c

   - more in lib/

   - rapidio

   - Janitorial work in filesystems: fs/ufs, fs/reiserfs, fs/adfs,
     fs/cramfs, fs/romfs, fs/qnx6.

   - initrd/initramfs work

   - "file sealing" and the memfd_create() syscall, in tmpfs

   - add pci_zalloc_consistent, use it in lots of places

   - MAINTAINERS maintenance

Pull DRM updates from Dave Airlie:
 "Like all good pull reqs this ends with a revert, so it must mean we
  tested it,

[ Ed. That's _one_ way of looking at it ]

  This pull is missing nouveau, Ben has been stuck trying to track down
  a very longstanding bug that revealed itself due to some other
  changes.  I've asked him to send you a direct pull request for nouveau
  once he cleans things up.  I'm away until Monday so don't want to
  delay things, you can make a decision on that when he sends it, I have
  my phone so I can ack things just not really merge much.

  It has one trivial conflict with your tree in armada_drv.c, and also
  the pull request contains some component changes that are already in
  your tree, the base tree from Russell went via Greg's tree already,
  but some stuff still shows up in here that doesn't when I merge my
  tree into yours.

  Otherwise all pretty standard graphics fare, one new driver and
  changes all over the place.

  New drivers:
   - sti kms driver for STMicroelectronics chipsets stih416 and stih407.

  core:
   - lots of cleanups to the drm core
   - DP MST helper code merged
   - universal cursor planes.
   - render nodes enabled by default

  panel:
   - better panel interfaces
   - new panel support
   - non-continuous cock advertising ability

  ttm:
   - shrinker fixes

  i915:
   - hopefully ditched UMS support
   - runtime pm fixes
   - psr tracking and locking - now enabled by default
   - userptr fixes
   - backlight brightness fixes
   - MST support merged
   - runtime PM for dpms
   - primary planes locking fixes
   - gen8 hw semaphore support
   - fbc fixes
   - runtime PM on SOix sleep state hw.
   - mmio base page flipping
   - lots of vlv/chv fixes.
   - universal cursor planes

  radeon:
   - Hawaii fixes
   - display scalar support for non-fixed mode displays
   - new firmware format support
   - dpm on more asics by default
   - GPUVM improvements
   - uncached and wc GTT buffers
   - BOs &gt; visible VRAM

  exynos:
   - i80 interface support
   - module auto-loading
   - ipp driver consolidated.

  armada:
   - irq handling in crtc layer only
   - crtc renumbering
   - add component support
   - DT interaction changes.

  tegra:
   - load as module fixes
   - eDP bpp and sync polarity fixed
   - DSI non-continuous clock mode support
   - better support for importing buffers from nouveau

  msm:
   - mdp5/adq8084 v1.3 hw enablement
   - devicetree clk changse
   - ifc6410 board working

  tda998x:
   - component support

This reverts commit 48ba813701eb14b3008edefef4a0789b328e278c.

Thanks to Chris:
"drm_file-&gt;is_master is not synomous with having drm_file-&gt;master ==
drm_file-&gt;minor-&gt;master. This is because drm_file-&gt;master is the same
for all drm_files of the same generation and so when there is a master,
every drm_file believes itself to be the master. Confusion ensues and
things go pear shaped when one file is closed and there is no master
anymore."

  multi-queue updates, conversion to 64 bit LUNs (so we could
  theoretically cope with any LUN returned by a device) and placeholder
  support for the ZBC device type (Shingle drives), plus an assortment
  of minor updates and bug fixes"

<title>list: fix order of arguments for hlist_add_after(_rcu)</title>

All other add functions for lists have the new item as first argument
and the position where it is added as second argument.  This was changed
for no good reason in this function and makes using it unnecessary
confusing.

The name was changed to hlist_add_behind() to cause unconverted code to
generate a compile error instead of using the wrong parameter order.

<title>mm/vmalloc.c: clean up map_vm_area third argument</title>

Currently map_vm_area() takes (struct page *** pages) as third argument,
and after mapping, it moves (*pages) to point to (*pages +
nr_mappped_pages).

It looks like this kind of increment is useless to its caller these
days.  The callers don't care about the increments and actually they're
trying to avoid this by passing another copy to map_vm_area().

The caller can always guarantee all the pages can be mapped into vm_area
as specified in first argument and the caller only cares about whether
map_vm_area() fails or not.

This patch cleans up the pointer movement in map_vm_area() and updates
its callers accordingly.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "Highlights:

   1) Steady transitioning of the BPF instructure to a generic spot so
      all kernel subsystems can make use of it, from Alexei Starovoitov.

   2) SFC driver supports busy polling, from Alexandre Rames.

   3) Take advantage of hash table in UDP multicast delivery, from David
      Held.

   4) Lighten locking, in particular by getting rid of the LRU lists, in
      inet frag handling.  From Florian Westphal.

   5) Add support for various RFC6458 control messages in SCTP, from
      Geir Ola Vaagland.

   6) Allow to filter bridge forwarding database dumps by device, from
      Jamal Hadi Salim.

   7) virtio-net also now supports busy polling, from Jason Wang.

   8) Some low level optimization tweaks in pktgen from Jesper Dangaard
      Brouer.

   9) Add support for ipv6 address generation modes, so that userland
      can have some input into the process.  From Jiri Pirko.

  10) Consolidate common TCP connection request code in ipv4 and ipv6,
      from Octavian Purdila.

  11) New ARP packet logger in netfilter, from Pablo Neira Ayuso.

  12) Generic resizable RCU hash table, with intial users in netlink and
      nftables.  From Thomas Graf.

  13) Maintain a name assignment type so that userspace can see where a
      network device name came from (enumerated by kernel, assigned
      explicitly by userspace, etc.) From Tom Gundersen.

  14) Automatic flow label generation on transmit in ipv6, from Tom
      Herbert.

  15) New packet timestamping facilities from Willem de Bruijn, meant to
      assist in measuring latencies going into/out-of the packet
      scheduler, latency from TCP data transmission to ACK, etc"
