Pull gcc plugins update from Kees Cook:
 "This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to
  extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot
  time as possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in
  CPU operation (due to runtime data differences, hardware differences,
  SMP ordering, thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc).

  At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example
  for how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals"

Pull kbuild updates from Michal Marek:

 - EXPORT_SYMBOL for asm source by Al Viro.

   This does bring a regression, because genksyms no longer generates
   checksums for these symbols (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS). Nick Piggin is
   working on a patch to fix this.

   Plus, we are talking about functions like strcpy(), which rarely
   change prototypes.

 - Fixes for PPC fallout of the above by Stephen Rothwell and Nick
   Piggin

 - fixdep speedup by Alexey Dobriyan.

 - preparatory work by Nick Piggin to allow architectures to build with
   -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and --gc-sections

 - CONFIG_THIN_ARCHIVES support by Stephen Rothwell

 - fix for filenames with colons in the initramfs source by me.

Pull rdma qedr RoCE driver from Doug Ledford:
 "Early on in the merge window I mentioned I had a backlog of new
  drivers waiting to be reviewed and that, in addition to the hns-roce
  driver, I wanted to get possible a couple more reviewed. I ended up
  only having the time to complete one of the additional drivers.

  During Dave Miller's pull request this go around, there were a series
  of 9 patches to the QLogic qed net driver that add basic support for a
  paired RoCE driver. That support is currently not functional because
  it is missing the matching RoCE driver in the RDMA subsystem. I
  managed to finish that review. However, because it goes against part
  of Dave's net pull, and a part that was accepted a day or two after
  the merge window opened, to apply cleanly it has to be applied to
  either the tip of Dave's net branch, or as I did in this case, I just
  applied it to your master after you had taken Dave's pull request."

Pull more ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This includes a couple of fixes needed after recent changes, two ACPI
  driver fixes (fan and "Processor Aggregator"), an update of the ACPI
  device properties handling code and a new MAINTAINERS entry for ACPI
  on ARM64.

  Specifics:

   - Fix an unused function warning that started to appear after recent
     changes in the ACPI EC driver (Eric Biggers).

   - Fix the KERN_CONT usage in acpi_os_vprintf() that has become
     (particularly) annoying recently (Joe Perches).

   - Fix the fan status checking in the ACPI fan driver to avoid
     returning incorrect error codes sometimes (Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Fix the ACPI Processor Aggregator driver (PAD) to always let the
     special processor_aggregator driver from Xen take over when running
     as Xen dom0 (Juergen Gross).

   - Update the handling of reference device properties in ACPI by
     allowing empty rows ("holes") to appear in reference property lists
     (Mika Westerberg).

   - Add a new MAINTAINERS entry for ACPI on ARM64 (Lorenzo Pieralisi)"

Pull more power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This includes a couple of fixes for cpufreq regressions introduced in
  4.8, a rework of the intel_pstate algorithm used on Atom processors
  (that took some time to test) plus a fix and a couple of cleanups in
  that driver, a CPPC cpufreq driver fix, and a some devfreq fixes and
  cleanups (core and exynos-nocp).

  Specifics:

   - Fix two cpufreq regressions causing undesirable changes in behavior
     to appear (one in the core and one in the conservative governor)
     introduced during the 4.8 cycle (Aaro Koskinen, Rafael Wysocki).

   - Fix the way the intel_pstate driver accesses MSRs related to the
     hardware-managed P-states (HWP) feature during the initialization
     which currently is unsafe and may cause the processor to generate a
     general protection fault (Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Rework the intel_pstate's P-state selection algorithm used on Atom
     processors to avoid known problems with the current one and to make
     the computation more straightforward, which also happens to improve
     performance in multiple benchmarks a bit (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Improve two comments in the intel_pstate driver (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Fix the desired performance computation in the CPPC cpufreq driver
     (Hoan Tran).

   - Fix the devfreq core to avoid printing misleading error messages in
     some cases (Tobias Jakobi).

   - Fix the error code path in devfreq_add_device() to use proper
     locking around list modifications (Axel Lin).

   - Fix a build failure and remove a couple of redundant updates of
     variables in the exynos-nocp devfreq driver (Axel Lin)"
