Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
"Another relatively small pull request for audit, nine patches total.
The only real new bit of functionality is the patch from Richard which
adds the ability to filter records based on the filesystem type.
The remainder are bug fixes and cleanups; the bug fix highlights
include:
- ensuring that we properly audit init/PID-1 (me)
- allowing the audit daemon to shutdown the kernel/auditd connection
cleanly by setting the audit PID to zero (Steve)"

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"The big highlight is support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)
which required extensive ABI work to ensure we don't break existing
applications by blowing away their signal stack with the rather large
new vector context (<= 2 kbit per vector register). There's further
work to be done optimising things like exception return, but the ABI
is solid now.
Much of the line count comes from some new PMU drivers we have, but
they're pretty self-contained and I suspect we'll have more of them in
future.
Plenty of acronym soup here:
- initial support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)
- improved handling for SError interrupts (required to handle RAS
events)
- enable GCC support for 128-bit integer types
- remove kernel text addresses from backtraces and register dumps
- use of WFE to implement long delay()s

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"There are some new user features and the usual load of invisible
enhancements or cleanups.
New features:
- extend mount options to specify zlib compression level, -o
compress=zlib:9
- v2 of ioctl "extent to inode mapping", addressing a usecase where
we want to retrieve more but inaccurate results and do the
postprocessing in userspace, aiding defragmentation or
deduplication tools
- populate compression heuristics logic, do data sampling and try to
guess compressibility by: looking for repeated patterns, counting
unique byte values and distribution, calculating Shannon entropy;
this will need more benchmarking and possibly fine tuning, but the
base should be good enough
- enable indexing for btrfs as lower filesystem in overlayfs
- speedup page cache readahead during send on large files
Internal enhancements:
- more sanity checks of b-tree items when reading them from disk
- more EINVAL/EUCLEAN fixups, missing BLK_STS_* conversion, other
errno or error handling fixes
- remove some homegrown IO-related logic, that's been obsoleted by
core block layer changes (batching, plug/unplug, own counters)
- add ref-verify, optional debugging feature to verify extent
reference accounting
- simplify code handling outstanding extents, make it more clear
where and how the accounting is done
- make delalloc reservations per-inode, simplify the code and make
the logic more straightforward
- extensive cleanup of delayed refs code
Notable fixes:
- fix send ioctl on 32bit with 64bit kernel"

Slotting is a crude approximation of the behaviors of shared media such
as cable, wifi, and LTE, which gather up a bunch of packets within a
varying delay window and deliver them, relative to that, nearly all at
once.
It works within the existing loss, duplication, jitter and delay
parameters of netem. Some amount of inherent latency must be specified,
regardless.
The new "slot" parameter specifies a minimum and maximum delay between
transmission attempts.
The "bytes" and "packets" parameters can be used to limit the amount of
information transferred per slot.
Examples of use:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 200us \
slot 800us 10ms bytes 64k packets 42
A more correct example, using stacked netem instances and a packet limit
to emulate a tail drop wifi queue with slots and variable packet
delivery, with a 200Mbit isochronous underlying rate, and 20ms path
delay:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: netem delay 20ms rate 200mbit \
limit 10000
tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:1 handle 10:1 netem delay 200us \
slot 800us 10ms bytes 64k packets 42 limit 512

netem userspace has long relied on a horrible /proc/net/psched hack
to translate the current notion of "ticks" to nanoseconds.
Expressing latency and jitter instead, in well defined nanoseconds,
increases the dynamic range of emulated delays and jitter in netem.
It will also ease a transition where reducing a tick to nsec
equivalence would constrain the max delay in prior versions of
netem to only 4.3 seconds.
