Commit 08d78658f393 ("panic: release stale console lock to always get the
logbuf printed out") introduced an unwanted bad unlock balance report when
panic() is called directly and not from OOPS (e.g.  from out_of_memory()).
The difference is that in case of OOPS we disable locks debug in
oops_enter() and on direct panic call nobody does that.

<title>kernel/signal.c: unexport sigsuspend()</title>

sigsuspend() is nowhere used except in signal.c itself, so we can mark it
static do not pollute the global namespace.

But this patch is more than a boring cleanup patch, it fixes a real issue
on UserModeLinux.  UML has a special console driver to display ttys using
xterm, or other terminal emulators, on the host side.  Vegard reported
that sometimes UML is unable to spawn a xterm and he's facing the
following warning:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 908 at include/linux/thread_info.h:128 sigsuspend+0xab/0xc0()

It turned out that this warning makes absolutely no sense as the UML
xterm code calls sigsuspend() on the host side, at least it tries.  But
as the kernel itself offers a sigsuspend() symbol the linker choose this
one instead of the glibc wrapper.  Interestingly this code used to work
since ever but always blocked signals on the wrong side.  Some recent
kernel change made the WARN_ON() trigger and uncovered the bug.

It is a wonderful example of how much works by chance on computers. :-)

Pull second batch of kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Four changes:

   - x86: work around two nasty cases where a benign exception occurs
     while another is being delivered.  The endless stream of exceptions
     causes an infinite loop in the processor, which not even NMIs or
     SMIs can interrupt; in the virt case, there is no possibility to
     exit to the host either.

   - x86: support for Skylake per-guest TSC rate.  Long supported by
     AMD, the patches mostly move things from there to common
     arch/x86/kvm/ code.

   - generic: remove local_irq_save/restore from the guest entry and
     exit paths when context tracking is enabled.  The patches are a few
     months old, but we discussed them again at kernel summit.  Andy
     will pick up from here and, in 4.5, try to remove it from the user
     entry/exit paths.

   - PPC: Two bug fixes, see merge commit 370289756becc for details"

Pull second batch of kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Four changes:

   - x86: work around two nasty cases where a benign exception occurs
     while another is being delivered.  The endless stream of exceptions
     causes an infinite loop in the processor, which not even NMIs or
     SMIs can interrupt; in the virt case, there is no possibility to
     exit to the host either.

   - x86: support for Skylake per-guest TSC rate.  Long supported by
     AMD, the patches mostly move things from there to common
     arch/x86/kvm/ code.

   - generic: remove local_irq_save/restore from the guest entry and
     exit paths when context tracking is enabled.  The patches are a few
     months old, but we discussed them again at kernel summit.  Andy
     will pick up from here and, in 4.5, try to remove it from the user
     entry/exit paths.

   - PPC: Two bug fixes, see merge commit 370289756becc for details"

<title>livepatch: x86: fix relocation computation with kASLR</title>

With kASLR enabled, old_addr provided by patch module is being shifted
accrodingly so that the symbol lookups work. To have module relocations
handled properly as well, the same transformation needs to be perfomed
on relocation address information.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Fix null deref in xt_TEE netfilter module, from Eric Dumazet.

 2) Several spots need to get to the original listner for SYN-ACK
    packets, most spots got this ok but some were not.  Whilst covering
    the remaining cases, create a helper to do this.  From Eric Dumazet.

 3) Missiing check of return value from alloc_netdev() in CAIF SPI code,
    from Rasmus Villemoes.

 4) Don't sleep while != TASK_RUNNING in macvtap, from Vlad Yasevich.

 5) Use after free in mvneta driver, from Justin Maggard.

 6) Fix race on dst-&gt;flags access in dst_release(), from Eric Dumazet.

 7) Add missing ZLIB_INFLATE dependency for new qed driver.  From Arnd
    Bergmann.

 8) Fix multicast getsockopt deadlock, from WANG Cong.

 9) Fix deadlock in btusb, from Kuba Pawlak.

10) Some ipv6_add_dev() failure paths were not cleaning up the SNMP6
    counter state.  From Sabrina Dubroca.

11) Fix packet_bind() race, which can cause lost notifications, from
    Francesco Ruggeri.

12) Fix MAC restoration in qlcnic driver during bonding mode changes,
    from Jarod Wilson.

13) Revert bridging forward delay change which broke libvirt and other
    userspace things, from Vlad Yasevich.
