      Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
      
       - Preparations of parallel lookups (the remaining main obstacle is the
         need to move security_d_instantiate(); once that becomes safe, the
         rest will be a matter of rather short series local to fs/*.c
      
       - preadv2/pwritev2 series from Christoph
      
       - assorted fixes

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
       "A small set of patches for audit this time; just three in total and
        one is a spelling fix.
      
        The two patches with actual content are designed to help prevent new
        instances of auditd from displacing an existing, functioning auditd
        and to generate a log of the attempt.  Not to worry, dead/stuck auditd
        instances can still be replaced by a new instance without problem.
      
        Nothing controversial, and everything passes our regression suite"
      
      * 'stable-4.6' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit:
        audit: Fix typo in comment
        audit: log failed attempts to change audit_pid configuration
        audit: stop an old auditd being starved out by a new auditd

       "Another mixture of changes this time around:
      
         - Split XIP linker file from main linker file to make it more
           maintainable, and various XIP fixes, and clean up a resulting
           macro.
      
         - Decompressor cleanups from Masahiro Yamada
      
         - Avoid printing an error for a missing L2 cache

         - Various low priority fixes from Arnd
      
         - Updates to allow bus match functions to return negative errno
           values, touching some drivers and the driver core.  Greg has acked
           these changes.
      
         - Virtualisation platform udpates form Jean-Philippe Brucker.
      
         - Security enhancements from Kees Cook
      
         - Rework some Kconfig dependencies and move PSCI idle management code
           out of arch/arm into drivers/firmware/psci.c
      
         - ARM DMA mapping updates, touching media, acked by Mauro.
      
         - Fix places in ARM code which should be using virt_to_idmap() so
           that Keystone2 can work.
      
         - Fix Marvell Tauros2 to work again with non-DT boots.
      
         - Provide a delay timer for ARM Orion platforms"
