 "I recently took maintainership of the befs file system [0]. This is
  the first time I send you a git pull request, so please let me know if
  all the below is OK.

  Salah Triki and myself have been cleaning the code and fixing a few
  small bugs.

  Sorry I couldn't send this sooner in the merge window, I was waiting
  to have my GPG key signed by kernel members at ELCE in Berlin a few
  days ago."

      Pull gcc plugins update from Kees Cook:
 "This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to
  extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot
  time as possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in
  CPU operation (due to runtime data differences, hardware differences,
  SMP ordering, thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc).

  At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example
  for how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals"

      Pull cifs fixes from Steve French:
 "Including:

   - nine bug fixes for stable. Some of these we found at the recent two
     weeks of SMB3 test events/plugfests.

   - significant improvements in reconnection (e.g. if server or network
     crashes) especially when mounted with "persistenthandles" or to
     server which advertises Continuous Availability on the share.

   - a new mount option "idsfromsid" which improves POSIX compatibility
     in some cases (when winbind not configured e.g.) by better (and
     faster) fetching uid/gid from acl (when "cifsacl" mount option is
     enabled). NB: we are almost complete work on "cifsacl" (querying
     mode/uid/gid from ACL) for SMB3, but SMB3 support for cifsacl is
     not included in this set.

   - improved handling for SMB3 "credits" (even if server is buggy)

  Still working on two sets of changes:

   - cifsacl enablement for SMB3

   - cleanup of RFC1001 length calculation (so we can handle encryption
     and multichannel and RDMA)

  And a couple of new bugs were reported recently (unrelated to above)
  so will probably have another merge request next week"

  Expose cifs module parameters in sysfs
  Cleanup missing frees on some ioctls
  Enable previous version support
  Do not send SMB3 SET_INFO request if nothing is changing

  Clarify locking of cifs file and tcon structures and make more granular
  Fix regression which breaks DFS mounting
