Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
"Another relatively small pull request for v4.9 with just two patches.The patch from Richard updates the list of features we support and
report back to userspace; this should have been sent earlier with the
rest of the v4.8 patches but it got lost in my inbox.The second patch fixes a problem reported by our Android friends where
we weren't very consistent in recording PIDs"* 'stable-4.9' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit:

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This is the documentation update pull for the 4.9 merge window.The Sphinx transition is still creating a fair amount of work. Here we
have a number of fixes and, importantly, a proper PDF output solution,
thanks to Jani Nikula, Mauro Carvalho Chehab and Markus Heiser.I've started a couple of new books: a driver API book (based on the
old device-drivers.tmpl) and a development tools book. Both are meant
to show how we can integrate together our existing documentation into
a more coherent and accessible whole. It involves moving some stuff
around and formatting changes, but, I think, the results are worth it.
The good news is that most of our existing Documentation/*.txt files
are *almost* in RST format already; the amount of messing around
required is minimal.And, of course, there's the usual set of updates, typo fixes, and
more"* tag 'docs-4.9' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (120 commits)

"We've only got six GFS2 patches for this merge window. In patch

that only landed late in the 4.7-rc cycle (around 4.7-rc7), so putting
this with my other for-next code would have create an ugly merge of

Pull clk framework updates from Stephen Boyd:
"The core clk framework changes are small again. They're mostly minor
fixes that weren't causing enough problems (or any problems when we're
just clarifying things) to warrant sending outside the merge window.
The majority of changes are in drivers for various SoCs. Full details
are in the logs, but here's the summary.Core:
- Better support for DeviceTree overlays with the addition of the
CLK_OF_DECLARE_DRIVER macro. Now we won't probe a clk driver for a
device node that matched during of_clk_init(), unless the driver
uses CLK_OF_DECLARE_DRIVER instead of CLK_OF_DECLARE. This allows
overlays to work cleanly for drivers that must probe before the
device model is ready, and also after it's ready when an overlay is
loaded.- Clarification in the code around how clk_hw pointers are returned
from of clk providers- Proper migration of prepare/enable counts to parents when the clk
tree is constructedNew Drivers:
- Socionext's UniPhier SoCs
- Loongson1C
- ZTE ZX296718
- Qualcomm MDM9615
- Amlogic GXBB AO clocks and resets
- Broadcom BCM53573 ILP
- Maxim MAX77620Updates:
- Four Allwinner SoCs are migrated to the new style clk driver (A31,
A31s, A23 and A33)
- Exynos 5xxx audio and DRAM clks
- Loongson1B AC97, DMA and NAND clks
- Rockchip DDR clks and rk3399 driver tweaks

clks
- Renasas R-Car H3 and M3-W CMT clks and RAVB+Thermal clks for M3-W
- Amlogic GXBB MMC gate clks
- at91 sama5d4 sckc
- Removal of STiH415 and STiH416 clk support as the SoC is being
removed

That just generally kills the machine, and makes debugging only much
harder, since the traces may long be gone.Debugging by assert() is a disease. Don't do it. If you can continue,
you're much better off doing so with a live machine where you have a
much higher chance that the report actually makes it to the system logs,
rather than result in a machine that is just completely dead.The only valid situation for BUG_ON() is when continuing is not an
option, because there is massive corruption. But if you are just
verifying that something is true, you warn about your broken assumptions
(preferably just once), and limp on.Fixes: 22f2ac51b6d6 ("mm: workingset: fix crash in shadow node shrinker caused by replace_page_cache_page()")

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The irq departement proudly presents:- A rework of the core infrastructure to optimally spread interrupt
for multiqueue devices. The first version was a bit naive and
failed to take thread siblings and other details into account.
Developed in cooperation with Christoph and Keith.- Proper delegation of softirqs to ksoftirqd, so if ksoftirqd is
active then no further softirq processsing on interrupt return
happens. Otherwise we try to delegate and still run another batch
of network packets in the irq return path, which then tries to
delegate to ksoftirqd .....- A proper machine parseable sysfs based alternative for
/proc/interrupts.- ACPI support for the GICV3-ITS and ARM interrupt remapping
- Two new irq chips from the ARM SoC zoo: STM32-EXTI and MVEBU-PIC
- A new irq chip for the JCore (SuperH)
- The usual pile of small fixlets in core and irqchip drivers"
