      Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "The main changes in this cycle were:
      
         - Add the SYSTEM_SCHEDULING bootup state to move various scheduler
           debug checks earlier into the bootup. This turns silent and
           sporadically deadly bugs into nice, deterministic splats. Fix some
           of the splats that triggered. (Thomas Gleixner)
      
         - A round of restructuring and refactoring of the load-balancing and
           topology code (Peter Zijlstra)
      
         - Another round of consolidating ~20 of incremental scheduler code
           history: this time in terms of wait-queue nomenclature. (I didn't
           get much feedback on these renaming patches, and we can still
           easily change any names I might have misplaced, so if anyone hates
           a new name, please holler and I'll fix it.) (Ingo Molnar)
      
         - sched/numa improvements, fixes and updates (Rik van Riel)
      
         - Another round of x86/tsc scheduler clock code improvements, in hope
           of making it more robust (Peter Zijlstra)
      
         - Improve NOHZ behavior (Frederic Weisbecker)
      
         - Deadline scheduler improvements and fixes (Luca Abeni, Daniel
           Bristot de Oliveira)
      
         - Simplify and optimize the topology setup code (Lauro Ramos
           Venancio)
      
         - Debloat and decouple scheduler code some more (Nicolas Pitre)

      Pull core block/IO updates from Jens Axboe:
       "This is the main pull request for the block layer for 4.13. Not a huge
        round in terms of features, but there's a lot of churn related to some
        core cleanups.
      
        Note this depends on the UUID tree pull request, that Christoph
        already sent out.
      
        This pull request contains:
      
         - A series from Christoph, unifying the error/stats codes in the
           block layer. We now use blk_status_t everywhere, instead of using
           different schemes for different places.
      
         - Also from Christoph, some cleanups around request allocation and IO
           scheduler interactions in blk-mq.
      
         - And yet another series from Christoph, cleaning up how we handle
           and do bounce buffering in the block layer.
      
         - A blk-mq debugfs series from Bart, further improving on the support
           we have for exporting internal information to aid debugging IO
           hangs or stalls.
      
         - Also from Bart, a series that cleans up the request initialization
           differences across types of devices.
      
         - A series from Goldwyn Rodrigues, allowing the block layer to return
           failure if we will block and the user asked for non-blocking.
      
         - Patch from Hannes for supporting setting loop devices block size to
           that of the underlying device.
      
         - Two series of patches from Javier, fixing various issues with
           lightnvm, particular around pblk.
      
         - A series from me, adding support for write hints. This comes with
           NVMe support as well, so applications can help guide data placement
           on flash to improve performance, latencies, and write
           amplification.
      
         - A series from Ming, improving and hardening blk-mq support for
           stopping/starting and quiescing hardware queues.
      
         - Two pull requests for NVMe updates. Nothing major on the feature
           side, but lots of cleanups and bug fixes. From the usual crew.
      
         - A series from Neil Brown, greatly improving the bio rescue set
           support. Most notably, this kills the bio rescue work queues, if we
           don't really need them.
      
         - Lots of other little bug fixes that are all over the place"

      Pull uuid subsystem from Christoph Hellwig:
       "This is the new uuid subsystem, in which Amir, Andy and I have started
        consolidating our uuid/guid helpers and improving the types used for
        them. Note that various other subsystems have pulled in this tree, so
        I'd like it to go in early.
      
        UUID/GUID summary:
      
         - introduce the new uuid_t/guid_t types that are going to replace the
           somewhat confusing uuid_be/uuid_le types and make the terminology
           fit the various specs, as well as the userspace libuuid library.
           (me, based on a previous version from Amir)
      
         - consolidated generic uuid/guid helper functions lifted from XFS and
           libnvdimm (Amir and me)
      
         - conversions to the new types and helpers (Amir, Andy and me)"
