Linus Torvalds 23221d997b arm64 updates for 4.17
Nothing particularly stands out here, probably because people were tied
 up with spectre/meltdown stuff last time around. Still, the main pieces
 are:
 
 - Rework of our CPU features framework so that we can whitelist CPUs that
   don't require kpti even in a heterogeneous system
 
 - Support for the IDC/DIC architecture extensions, which allow us to elide
   instruction and data cache maintenance when writing out instructions
 
 - Removal of the large memory model which resulted in suboptimal codegen
   by the compiler and increased the use of literal pools, which could
   potentially be used as ROP gadgets since they are mapped as executable
 
 - Rework of forced signal delivery so that the siginfo_t is well-formed
   and handling of show_unhandled_signals is consolidated and made
   consistent between different fault types
 
 - More siginfo cleanup based on the initial patches from Eric Biederman
 
 - Workaround for Cortex-A55 erratum #1024718
 
 - Some small ACPI IORT updates and cleanups from Lorenzo Pieralisi
 
 - Misc cleanups and non-critical fixes

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
