      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

      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"

       "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.

      Pull networking updates from David Miller:
       "Highlights:
      
         1) Support more Realtek wireless chips, from Jes Sorenson.
      
         2) New BPF types for per-cpu hash and arrap maps, from Alexei
            Starovoitov.
      
         3) Make several TCP sysctls per-namespace, from Nikolay Borisov.
      
         4) Allow the use of SO_REUSEPORT in order to do per-thread processing
         of incoming TCP/UDP connections.  The muxing can be done using a
         BPF program which hashes the incoming packet.  From Craig Gallek.
      
         5) Add a multiplexer for TCP streams, to provide a messaged based
            interface.  BPF programs can be used to determine the message
            boundaries.  From Tom Herbert.
      
         6) Add 802.1AE MACSEC support, from Sabrina Dubroca.
      
         7) Avoid factorial complexity when taking down an inetdev interface
            with lots of configured addresses.  We were doing things like
            traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and
            flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as
            well.
      
         8) Add and use SKB bulk free infrastructure, from Jesper Brouer.
      
         9) Allow offloading u32 classifiers to hardware, and implement for
            ixgbe, from John Fastabend.
      
        10) Allow configuring IRQ coalescing parameters on a per-queue basis,
            from Kan Liang.
      
        11) Extend ethtool so that larger link mode masks can be supported.
            From David Decotigny.
      
        12) Introduce devlink, which can be used to configure port link types
            (ethernet vs Infiniband, etc.), port splitting, and switch device
            level attributes as a whole.  From Jiri Pirko.
      
        13) Hardware offload support for flower classifiers, from Amir Vadai.
      
        14) Add "Local Checksum Offload".  Basically, for a tunneled packet
            the checksum of the outer header is 'constant' (because with the
            checksum field filled into the inner protocol header, the payload
            of the outer frame checksums to 'zero'), and we can take advantage
            of that in various ways.  From Edward Cree"
