Pull spi updates from Mark Brown:
 "A fairly quiet release for the SPI subsystem:

   - Move to using IDR for allocating bus numbers

   - Modernisation of the ep93xx driver, removing a lot of open coding
     and using the framework more

   - The tools have been moved to use the standard tools build system
     and an install target added (there will be a fairly trivial
     conflict with tip resulting from the changes in the main tools
     Makefile)

   - A refactoring of the Qualcomm QUP driver which enables new variants
     to be supported

   - Explicit support for the Freescale i.MX53 and i.MX6 SPI, Renesas
     R-Car H3 and Rockchip RV1108 controllers"

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - VMAP_STACK support, allowing the kernel stacks to be allocated in the
   vmalloc space with a guard page for trapping stack overflows. One of
   the patches introduces THREAD_ALIGN and changes the generic
   alloc_thread_stack_node() to use this instead of THREAD_SIZE (no
   functional change for other architectures)

 - Contiguous PTE hugetlb support re-enabled (after being reverted a
   couple of times). We now have the semantics agreed in the generic mm
   layer together with API improvements so that the architecture code
   can detect between contiguous and non-contiguous huge PTEs

 - Initial support for persistent memory on ARM: DC CVAP instruction
   exposed to user space (HWCAP) and the in-kernel pmem API implemented

 - raid6 improvements for arm64: faster algorithm for the delta syndrome
   and implementation of the recovery routines using Neon

 - FP/SIMD refactoring and removal of support for Neon in interrupt
   context. This is in preparation for full SVE support

 - PTE accessors converted from inline asm to cmpxchg so that we can use
   LSE atomics if available (ARMv8.1)

 - Perf support for Cortex-A35 and A73

Pull x86 mm changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "PCID support, 5-level paging support, Secure Memory Encryption support

  The main changes in this cycle are support for three new, complex
  hardware features of x86 CPUs:

   - Add 5-level paging support, which is a new hardware feature on
     upcoming Intel CPUs allowing up to 128 PB of virtual address space
     and 4 PB of physical RAM space - a 512-fold increase over the old
     limits. (Supercomputers of the future forecasting hurricanes on an
     ever warming planet can certainly make good use of more RAM.)

     Many of the necessary changes went upstream in previous cycles,
     v4.14 is the first kernel that can enable 5-level paging.

     This feature is activated via CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y - disabled by
     default.

     (By Kirill A. Shutemov)

   - Add 'encrypted memory' support, which is a new hardware feature on
     upcoming AMD CPUs ('Secure Memory Encryption', SME) allowing system
     RAM to be encrypted and decrypted (mostly) transparently by the
     CPU, with a little help from the kernel to transition to/from
     encrypted RAM. Such RAM should be more secure against various
     attacks like RAM access via the memory bus and should make the
     radio signature of memory bus traffic harder to intercept (and
     decrypt) as well.

     This feature is activated via CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y - disabled
     by default.

     (By Tom Lendacky)

   - Enable PCID optimized TLB flushing on newer Intel CPUs: PCID is a
     hardware feature that attaches an address space tag to TLB entries
     and thus allows to skip TLB flushing in many cases, even if we
     switch mm's.

     (By Andy Lutomirski)

  All three of these features were in the works for a long time, and
  it's coincidence of the three independent development paths that they
  are all enabled in v4.14 at once"

The alpha/marvel code currently implements an irq_chip for handling
interrupts; due to how irq_chip handling is done, it's necessary for the
irq_chip methods to be invoked from hardirq context, even on a a
real-time kernel.  Because the spinlock_t type becomes a "sleeping"
spinlock w/ RT kernels, it is not suitable to be used with irq_chips.

A quick audit of the operations under the lock reveal that they do only
minimal, bounded work, and are therefore safe to do under a raw spinlock.

 - Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via
   CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.

   The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo
   implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding.
   Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so
   the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no
   dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain.

   The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the
   (out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph
   profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively:
   there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even
   with early versions. (knock on wood!)

   But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows
   CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel
   measurably:

   With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer
   instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's
   .text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache
   utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad
   kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be
   roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown
   a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads.

   The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be
   stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel
   config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems.

   Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default
   - but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make
   it the default unwinder on x86.

   See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details.

  UI improvements:

   - Implement a visual marker for fused x86 instructions in the
     annotate TUI browser, available now in 'perf report', more work
     needed to have it available as well in 'perf top' (Jin Yao)

     Further explanation from one of Jin's patches:

       81.93 │   ├──je     20

       11.47 │20:└─→cmpxch %esi,0x38a999(%rip)

     That means the cmpl+je is a fused instruction pair and they should
     be considered together.

   - Record the branch type and then show statistics and info about in
     callchain entries (Jin Yao)

  namespaces support:

   - Add initial support for namespaces, using setns to access files in
     namespaces, grabbing their build-ids, etc. (Krister Johansen)

  perf trace enhancements:

   - Beautify pkey_{alloc,free,mprotect} arguments in 'perf trace'
     (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Add initial 'clone' syscall args beautifier in 'perf trace'
     (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Ignore 'fd' and 'offset' args for MAP_ANONYMOUS in 'perf trace'
     (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Beautifiers for the 'cmd' arg of several ioctl types, including:
     sound, DRM, KVM, vhost virtio and perf_events. (Arnaldo Carvalho de
     Melo)

   - Add PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN and PERF_RECORD_MMAP[2] to 'perf data'
     CTF conversion, allowing CTF trace visualization tools to show
     callchains and to resolve symbols (Geneviève Bastien)

   - Beautify the fcntl syscall, which is an interesting one in the
     sense that infrastructure had to be put in place to change the
     formatters of some arguments according to the value in a previous
     one, i.e. cmd dictates how arg and the syscall return will be
     formatted. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

  perf stat enhancements:

   - Use group read for event groups in 'perf stat', reducing overhead
     when groups are defined in the event specification, i.e. when using
     {} to enclose a list of events, asking them to be read at the same
     time, e.g.: "perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}'" (Jiri Olsa)

  pipe mode improvements:

   - Process tracing data in 'perf annotate' pipe mode (David
     Carrillo-Cisneros)

   - Add header record types to pipe-mode, now this command:

        $ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header

     Will show the same as in non-pipe mode, i.e. involving a perf.data
     file (David Carrillo-Cisneros)

  Vendor specific hardware event support updates/enhancements:

   - Update POWER9 vendor events tables (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)

   - Add POWER9 PMU events Sukadev (Bhattiprolu)

   - Support additional POWER8+ PVR in PMU mapfile (Shriya)

   - Add Skylake server uncore JSON vendor events (Andi Kleen)

   - Support exporting Intel PT data to sqlite3 with python perf
     scripts, this is in addition to the postgresql support that was
     already there (Adrian Hunter)"
