Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These are fixes received after my previous pull request plus one that
  has been in the works for quite a while, but its previous version
  caused problems to happen, so it's been deferred till now.

  Fixed are two recent regressions (MFD enumeration and cpufreq-dt),
  ACPI EC regression introduced in 3.17, system suspend error code path
  regression introduced in 3.15, an older bug related to recovery from
  failing resume from hibernation and a cpufreq-dt driver issue related
  to operation performance points.

  Specifics:

   - Fix a crash on r8a7791/koelsch during resume from system suspend
     caused by a recent cpufreq-dt commit (Geert Uytterhoeven).

   - Fix an MFD enumeration problem introduced by a recent commit adding
     ACPI support to the MFD subsystem that exposed a weakness in the
     ACPI core causing ACPI enumeration to be applied to all devices
     associated with one ACPI companion object, although it should be
     used for one of them only (Mika Westerberg).

   - Fix an ACPI EC regression introduced during the 3.17 cycle causing
     some Samsung laptops to misbehave as a result of a workaround
     targeted at some Acer machines.  That includes a revert of a commit
     that went too far and a quirk for the Acer machines in question.
     From Lv Zheng.

   - Fix a regression in the system suspend error code path introduced
     during the 3.15 cycle that causes it to fail to take errors from
     asychronous execution of "late" suspend callbacks into account
     (Imre Deak).

   - Fix a long-standing bug in the hibernation resume error code path
     that fails to roll back everything correcty on "freeze" callback
     errors and leaves some devices in a "suspended" state causing more
     breakage to happen subsequently (Imre Deak).

   - Make the cpufreq-dt driver disable operation performance points
     that are not supported by the VR connected to the CPU voltage plane
     with acceptable tolerance instead of constantly failing voltage
     scaling later on (Lucas Stach)"

* tag 'pm+acpi-3.18-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm:
  ACPI / EC: Fix regression due to conflicting firmware behavior between Samsung and Acer.
  Revert "ACPI / EC: Add support to disallow QR_EC to be issued before completing previous QR_EC"
  cpufreq: cpufreq-dt: Restore default cpumask_setall(policy-&gt;cpus)
  PM / Sleep: fix recovery during resuming from hibernation
  PM / Sleep: fix async suspend_late/freeze_late error handling
  ACPI: Use ACPI companion to match only the first physical device
  cpufreq: cpufreq-dt: disable unsupported OPPs

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
 "A bit has accumulated, but it's been a week or so since my last batch
  of post-merge-window fixes, so...

   1) Missing module license in netfilter reject module, from Pablo.
      Lots of people ran into this.

   2) Off by one in mac80211 baserate calculation, from Karl Beldan.

   3) Fix incorrect return value from ax88179_178a driver's set_mac_addr
      op, which broke use of it with bonding.  From Ian Morgan.

   4) Checking of skb_gso_segment()'s return value was not all
      encompassing, it can return an SKB pointer, a pointer error, or
      NULL.  Fix from Florian Westphal.

      This is crummy, and longer term will be fixed to just return error
      pointers or a real SKB.

   6) Encapsulation offloads not being handled by
      skb_gso_transport_seglen().  From Florian Westphal.

   7) Fix deadlock in TIPC stack, from Ying Xue.

   8) Fix performance regression from using rhashtable for netlink
      sockets.  The problem was the synchronize_net() invoked for every
      socket destroy.  From Thomas Graf.

   9) Fix bug in eBPF verifier, and remove the strong dependency of BPF
      on NET.  From Alexei Starovoitov.

  10) In qdisc_create(), use the correct interface to allocate
      -&gt;cpu_bstats, otherwise the u64_stats_sync member isn't
      initialized properly.  From Sabrina Dubroca.

  11) Off by one in ip_set_nfnl_get_byindex(), from Dan Carpenter.

  12) nf_tables_newchain() was erroneously expecting error pointers from
      netdev_alloc_pcpu_stats().  It only returna a valid pointer or
      NULL.  From Sabrina Dubroca.

  13) Fix use-after-free in _decode_session6(), from Li RongQing.

  14) When we set the TX flow hash on a socket, we mistakenly do so
      before we've nailed down the final source port.  Move the setting
      deeper to fix this.  From Sathya Perla.

  15) NAPI budget accounting in amd-xgbe driver was counting descriptors
      instead of full packets, fix from Thomas Lendacky.

  16) Fix total_data_buflen calculation in hyperv driver, from Haiyang
      Zhang.

  17) Fix bcma driver build with OF_ADDRESS disabled, from Hauke
      Mehrtens.

  18) Fix mis-use of per-cpu memory in TCP md5 code.  The problem is
      that something that ends up being vmalloc memory can't be passed
      to the crypto hash routines via scatter-gather lists.  From Eric
      Dumazet.

  19) Fix regression in promiscuous mode enabling in cdc-ether, from
      Olivier Blin.

  20) Bucket eviction and frag entry killing can race with eachother,
      causing an unlink of the object from the wrong list.  Fix from
      Nikolay Aleksandrov.

  21) Missing initialization of spinlock in cxgb4 driver, from Anish
      Bhatt.

  22) Do not cache ipv4 routing failures, otherwise if the sysctl for
      forwarding is subsequently enabled this won't be seen.  From
      Nicolas Cavallari"

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "ARM has system calls outside the NR_syscalls range, and the generic
  tracing system does not support that and without checks, it can cause
  an oops to be reported.

  Rabin Vincent added checks in the return code on syscall events to
  make sure that the system call number is within the range that tracing
  knows about, and if not, simply ignores the system call.

  The system call tracing infrastructure needs to be rewritten to handle
  these cases better, but for now, to keep from oopsing, this patch will
  do"

ARM has some private syscalls (for example, set_tls(2)) which lie
outside the range of NR_syscalls.  If any of these are called while
syscall tracing is being performed, out-of-bounds array access will
occur in the ftrace and perf sys_{enter,exit} handlers.

Commit cd0980fc8add "tracing: Check invalid syscall nr while tracing syscalls"
added the check for less than zero, but it should have also checked
for greater than NR_syscalls.

Pull two RCU fixes from Paul E. McKenney:

" - Complete the work of commit dd56af42bd82 (rcu: Eliminate deadlock
    between CPU hotplug and expedited grace periods), which was
    intended to allow synchronize_sched_expedited() to be safely
    used when holding locks acquired by CPU-hotplug notifiers.
    This commit makes the put_online_cpus() avoid the deadlock
    instead of just handling the get_online_cpus().

  - Complete the work of commit 35ce7f29a44a (rcu: Create rcuo
    kthreads only for onlined CPUs), which was intended to allow
    RCU to avoid allocating unneeded kthreads on systems where the
    firmware says that there are more CPUs than are really present.
    This commit makes rcu_barrier() aware of the mismatch, so that
    it doesn't hang waiting for non-existent CPUs. "
