- Make zombie stack traces reliable
- Fix kexec with stack canary
- Fix the delivery mode for APICs which was missed when the x86
vector management was converted to single target delivery. Caused a
regression due to the broken hardware which ignores affinity

Pull x86 platform driver updates from Andy Shevchenko:
"Here is the collected material against Platform Drivers x86 subsystem.
It's rather bit busy cycle for PDx86, mostly due to Dell SMBIOS driver
activity
For this cycle we have quite an update for the Dell SMBIOS driver
including WMI work to provide an interface for SMBIOS tokens via sysfs
and WMI support for 2017+ Dell laptop models. SMM dispatcher code is
split into a separate driver followed by a new WMI dispatcher. The
latter provides a character device interface to user space.

Sang in order to apply a dependent fix to the Intel CherryTrail
Battery Management driver.
Other Intel drivers got a lot of cleanups. The Turbo Boost Max 3.0
support is added for Intel Skylake.
Peaq WMI hotkeys driver gets its own maintainer and white list of

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"A bit of a small release, I suspect in part due to me travelling for
KS. But my backlog of patches to review is smaller than usual, so I
think in part folks just didn't send as much this cycle.
Non-highlights:
- Five fixes for the >128T address space handling, both to fix bugs
in our implementation and to bring the semantics exactly into line
with x86.
Highlights:
- Support for a new OPAL call on bare metal machines which gives us a
true NMI (ie. is not masked by MSR[EE]=0) for debugging etc.
- Support for Power9 DD2 in the CXL driver.
- Improvements to machine check handling so that uncorrectable errors
can be reported into the generic memory_failure() machinery.
- Some fixes and improvements for VPHN, which is used under PowerVM
to notify the Linux partition of topology changes.
- Plumbing to enable TM (transactional memory) without suspend on
some Power9 processors (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NO_SUSPEND).
- Support for emulating vector loads form cache-inhibited memory, on
some Power9 revisions.
- Disable the fast-endian switch "syscall" by default (behind a
CONFIG), we believe it has never had any users.
- A major rework of the API drivers use when initiating and waiting
for long running operations performed by OPAL firmware, and changes
to the powernv_flash driver to use the new API.
- Several fixes for the handling of FP/VMX/VSX while processes are
using transactional memory.
- Optimisations of TLB range flushes when using the radix MMU on
Power9.
- Improvements to the VAS facility used to access coprocessors on
Power9, and related improvements to the way the NX crypto driver
handles requests.
- Implementation of PMEM_API and UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE for 64-bit.

Pull irq core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A rather large update for the interrupt core code and the irq chip drivers:
- Add a new bitmap matrix allocator and supporting changes, which is
used to replace the x86 vector allocator which comes with separate
pull request. This allows to replace the convoluted nested loop
allocation function in x86 with a facility which supports the
recently added property of managed interrupts proper and allows to
switch to a best effort vector reservation scheme, which addresses
problems with vector exhaustion.
- A large update to the ARM GIC-V3-ITS driver adding support for
range selectors.
- New interrupt controllers:
- Meson and Meson8 GPIO
- BCM7271 L2
- Socionext EXIU
If you expected that this will stop at some point, I have to
disappoint you. There are new ones posted already. Sigh!
- STM32 interrupt controller support for new platforms.
- A pile of fixes, cleanups and updates to the MIPS GIC driver
- The usual small fixes, cleanups and updates all over the place.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main updates in this cycle were:
- Group balancing enhancements and cleanups (Brendan Jackman)
- Move CPU isolation related functionality into its separate
kernel/sched/isolation.c file, with related 'housekeeping_*()'
namespace and nomenclature et al. (Frederic Weisbecker)
- Improve the interactive/cpu-intense fairness calculation (Josef
Bacik)
- Improve the PELT code and related cleanups (Peter Zijlstra)
- Improve the logic of pick_next_task_fair() (Uladzislau Rezki)
- Improve the RT IPI based balancing logic (Steven Rostedt)
- Various micro-optimizations:
- better !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG optimizations (Patrick Bellasi)
- better idle loop (Cheng Jian)
- ... plus misc fixes, cleanups and updates"

Pull core locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle are:
- Another attempt at enabling cross-release lockdep dependency
tracking (automatically part of CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y), this time
with better performance and fewer false positives. (Byungchul Park)
- Introduce lockdep_assert_irqs_enabled()/disabled() and convert
open-coded equivalents to lockdep variants. (Frederic Weisbecker)
- Add down_read_killable() and use it in the VFS's iterate_dir()
method. (Kirill Tkhai)
- Convert remaining uses of ACCESS_ONCE() to
READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE(). Most of the conversion was Coccinelle
driven. (Mark Rutland, Paul E. McKenney)
- Get rid of lockless_dereference(), by strengthening Alpha atomics,
strengthening READ_ONCE() with smp_read_barrier_depends() and thus
being able to convert users of lockless_dereference() to
READ_ONCE(). (Will Deacon)
- Various micro-optimizations:
- better PV qspinlocks (Waiman Long),
- better x86 barriers (Michael S. Tsirkin)
- better x86 refcounts (Kees Cook)
- ... plus other fixes and enhancements. (Borislav Petkov, Juergen
Gross, Miguel Bernal Marin)"
