Pull firmware removal from Greg KH:
 "Many many years ago (at the kernel summit in Boston), we all came to
  the agreement that the firmware/ tree should be dropped from the
  kernel, and everyone use the linux-firmware package instead. For some
  minor reason, David Woodhouse didn't send the pull request at that
  point in time, and everyone forgot about this.

  The topic came up in the hallway track at the Plumbers conference this
  week, so here's a single patch that drops the whole firmware tree. The
  last firmware update was back in 2013, and all distros have been using
  linux-firmware instead since at least that year, if not before. The
  only commits to that directory since 2013 was some kbuild fixups for
  various build tool issues.

  So lets finally drop this, we don't need to lug them around in the
  kernel source tree anymore, especially as no one wants or uses them.

  This has passed build testing with 0-day, I don't think it made it
  into linux-next this week, but I figured it was good to get in before
  4.14-rc1 was out"

When emulating a nested VM-entry from L1 to L2, several control field
validation checks are deferred to the hardware. Should one of these
validation checks fail, vcpu_vmx_run will set the vmx->fail flag. When
this happens, the L2 guest state is not loaded (even in part), and
execution should continue in L1 with the next instruction after the
VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME.

The VMCS12 is not modified (except for the VM-instruction error
field), the VMCS12 MSR save/load lists are not processed, and the CPU
state is not loaded from the VMCS12 host area. Moreover, the vmcs02
exit reason is stale, so it should not be consulted for any reason.

On an early VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME failure (i.e. one which sets the
VM-instruction error field of the current VMCS), the launch state of
the current VMCS is not set to "launched," and the VM-exit information
fields of the current VMCS (including IDT-vectoring information and
exit reason) are stale.

On a late VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME failure (i.e. one which sets the high bit
of the exit reason field), the launch state of the current VMCS is not
set to "launched," and only two of the VM-exit information fields of
the current VMCS are modified (exit reason and exit
qualification). The remaining VM-exit information fields of the
current VMCS (including IDT-vectoring information, in particular) are
stale.

The value of the guest_irq argument to vmx_update_pi_irte() is
ultimately coming from a KVM_IRQFD API call. Do not BUG() in
vmx_update_pi_irte() if the value is out-of bounds. (Especially,
since KVM as a whole seems to hang after that.)

Instead, print a message only once if we find that we don't have a
route for a certain IRQ (which can be out-of-bounds or within the
array).

This fixes CVE-2017-1000252.

Pull zstd support from Chris Mason:
 "Nick Terrell's patch series to add zstd support to the kernel has been
  floating around for a while. After talking with Dave Sterba, Herbert
  and Phillip, we decided to send the whole thing in as one pull
  request.

  zstd is a big win in speed over zlib and in compression ratio over
  lzo, and the compression team here at FB has gotten great results
  using it in production. Nick will continue to update the kernel side
  with new improvements from the open source zstd userland code.

  Nick has a number of benchmarks for the main zstd code in his lib/zstd
  commit:

      I ran the benchmarks on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM with 2 cores and 4 GiB
      of RAM. The VM is running on a MacBook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel
      Core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a SSD. I benchmarked using
      `silesia.tar` [3], which is 211,988,480 B large. Run the following
      commands for the benchmark:

        sudo modprobe zstd_compress_test
        sudo mknod zstd_compress_test c 245 0
        sudo cp silesia.tar zstd_compress_test

      The time is reported by the time of the userland `cp`.
      The MB/s is computed with

        1,536,217,008 B / time(buffer size, hash)

      which includes the time to copy from userland.
      The Adjusted MB/s is computed with

        1,536,217,088 B / (time(buffer size, hash) - time(buffer size, none)).

      The memory reported is the amount of memory the compressor
      requests.

      I benchmarked zstd decompression using the same method on the same
      machine. The benchmark file is located in the upstream zstd repo
      under `contrib/linux-kernel/zstd_decompress_test.c` [4]. The
      memory reported is the amount of memory required to decompress
      data compressed with the given compression level. If you know the
      maximum size of your input, you can reduce the memory usage of
      decompression irrespective of the compression level.

This fixes the emulation of the dcbz instruction in the alignment
interrupt handler.  The error was that we were comparing just the
instruction type field of op.type rather than the whole thing,
and therefore the comparison "type != CACHEOP + DCBZ" was always
true.

The last firmware change for the in-kernel firmware source code was back
in 2013.  Everyone has been relying on the out-of-tree linux-firmware
package for a long long time.

So let's drop it, it's baggage we don't need to keep dragging around
(and having to fix random kbuild issues over time...)

   margin color (David Lechner)

   (devices like Asus T100HA, GPD Pocket, the GPD win and the I.T.Works
   TW891) (Hans de Goede)

   EV3) (David Lechner)

   code of atyfb driver (Vladis Dronov)

Pull pin control fixes from Linus Walleij:
 "This slew of fixes for pin control was noticed and patched up early,
  so to get the annoyance out of the way for -rc1 it would make sense to
  send them already.

   - Fix a build include in the Uniphier driver to keep pace with
     ongoing refactorings.

   - Fix a slew of minor semantic and syntactic issues as well as
     stricting up Kconfig for the new Spreadtrum driver.

   - Fix the GPIO interrupt set-up on the Marvell 37xx Armada as fallout
     for dynamically allocating irq descriptors from the core. (Also
     tagged for stable.)

   - Fix AMD register suspend/resume state spool/unspooling so that

* A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
  indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
  Thus use the corresponding function "kcalloc".

  This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
  to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
  the Linux coding style convention.
