       "Main features:
      
         - Versatile Express SoC (model) support - DT files and Kconfig
           entries (there are no arch/arm64/mach-* directories).  The bulk of
           the code has already been moved to drivers/ as part of the ARM SoC
           clean-up.
      
         - Basic multi-cluster support (CPU logical map initialised from the
           DT)
      
         - Simple earlyprintk support for UART 8250/16550 and FastModel
           console output
      
         - Optimised kernel library bitops and string functions.
      
         - Automatic initialisation of the irqchip and clocks via DT"

      Pull core timer updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "The main changes in this cycle's merge are:
      
         - Implement shadow timekeeper to shorten in kernel reader side
           blocking, by Thomas Gleixner.
      
         - Posix timers enhancements by Pavel Emelyanov:
      
         - allocate timer ID per process, so that exact timer ID allocations
           can be re-created be checkpoint/restore code.
      
         - debuggability and tooling (/proc/PID/timers, etc.) improvements.
      
         - suspend/resume enhancements by Feng Tang: on certain new Intel Atom
           processors (Penwell and Cloverview), there is a feature that the
           TSC won't stop in S3 state, so the TSC value won't be reset to 0
           after resume.  This can be taken advantage of by the generic via
           the CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP flag: instead of using the RTC to
           recover/approximate sleep time, the main (and precise) clocksource
           can be used.
      
         - Fix /proc/timer_list for 4096 CPUs by Nathan Zimmer: on so many
           CPUs the file goes beyond 4MB of size and thus the current
           simplistic seqfile approach fails.  Convert /proc/timer_list to a
           proper seq_file with its own iterator.
      
         - Cleanups and refactorings of the core timekeeping code by John
           Stultz.
      
         - International Atomic Clock time is managed by the NTP code
           internally currently but not exposed externally.  Separate the TAI
           code out and add CLOCK_TAI support and TAI support to the hrtimer
           and posix-timer code, by John Stultz.
      
         - Add deep idle support enhacement to the broadcast clockevents core
           timer code, by Daniel Lezcano: add an opt-in CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DYNIRQ
           clockevents feature (which will be utilized by future clockevents
           driver updates), which allows the use of IRQ affinities to avoid
           spurious wakeups of idle CPUs - the right CPU with an expiring
           timer will be woken.
      
         - Add new ARM bcm281xx clocksource driver, by Christian Daudt
      
         - ... various other fixes and cleanups"

        posix-timers: Show sigevent info in proc file

        timekeeping: Hold timekeepering locks in do_adjtimex and hardpps
        timekeeping: Move ADJ_SETOFFSET to top level do_adjtimex()

      arm64: klib: bitops: fix unpredictable stxr usage · c47d6a04
      Mark Rutland authored
      We're currently relying on unpredictable behaviour in our testops
      (test_and_*_bit), as stxr is unpredictable when the status register and
      the source register are the same
      
      This patch changes reallocates the status register so as to bring us back into
      the realm of predictable behaviour. Boot tested on an AEMv8 model.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull SMP/hotplug changes from Ingo Molnar:
       "This is a pretty large, multi-arch series unifying and generalizing
        the various disjunct pieces of idle routines that architectures have
        historically copied from each other and have grown in random, wildly
        inconsistent and sometimes buggy directions:
      
         101 files changed, 455 insertions(+), 1328 deletions(-)
      
        this went through a number of review and test iterations before it was
        committed, it was tested on various architectures, was exposed to
        linux-next for quite some time - nevertheless it might cause problems
        on architectures that don't read the mailing lists and don't regularly
        test linux-next.
      
        This cat herding excercise was motivated by the -rt kernel, and was
        brought to you by Thomas "the Whip" Gleixner."
