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"

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 constructed

  New Drivers:

   - Socionext's UniPhier SoCs
   - Loongson1C
   - ZTE ZX296718
   - Qualcomm MDM9615
   - Amlogic GXBB AO clocks and resets
   - Broadcom BCM53573 ILP
   - Maxim MAX77620

 Updates:

   - 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
   - Renesas R-Car M3-W (r8a7796) SoC SDHI interface and Watchdog timer
     clks
   - Renasas R-Car H3 and M3-W CMT clks and RAVB+Thermal clks for M3-W
   - Amlogic GXBB MMC gate clks

     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.

Pull CPU hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Yet another batch of cpu hotplug core updates and conversions:

   - Provide core infrastructure for multi instance drivers so the
     drivers do not have to keep custom lists.

   - Convert custom lists to the new infrastructure. The block-mq custom
     list conversion comes through the block tree and makes the diffstat
     tip over to more lines removed than added.

   - Handle unbalanced hotplug enable/disable calls more gracefully.

   - Remove the obsolete CPU_STARTING/DYING notifier support.

   - Convert another batch of notifier users.

   The relayfs changes which conflicted with the conversion have been
   shipped to me by Andrew.

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

   - Improve the implementation and optimize the performance of
     percpu-rwsems. (Peter Zijlstra.)

   - Convert all lglock users to better facilities such as percpu-rwsems
     or percpu-spinlocks and remove lglocks. (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Remove the ticket (spin)lock implementation. (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Korean translation of memory-barriers.txt and related fixes to the
     English document. (SeongJae Park)

   - misc fixes and cleanups"

Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Main changes in this cycle were:

   - Refactor the EFI memory map code into architecture neutral files
     and allow drivers to permanently reserve EFI boot services regions
     on x86, as well as ARM/arm64. (Matt Fleming)

   - Add ARM support for the EFI ESRT driver. (Ard Biesheuvel)

   - Make the EFI runtime services and efivar API interruptible by
     swapping spinlocks for semaphores. (Sylvain Chouleur)

   - Provide the EFI identity mapping for kexec which allows kexec to
     work on SGI/UV platforms with requiring the "noefi" kernel command
     line parameter. (Alex Thorlton)

   - Add debugfs node to dump EFI page tables on arm64. (Ard Biesheuvel)

   - Merge the EFI test driver being carried out of tree until now in
     the FWTS project. (Ivan Hu)

   - Expand the list of flags for classifying EFI regions as "RAM" on
     arm64 so we align with the UEFI spec. (Ard Biesheuvel)

   - Optimise out the EFI mixed mode if it's unsupported (CONFIG_X86_32)
     or disabled (CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=n) and switch the early EFI boot
     services function table for direct calls, alleviating us from
     having to maintain the custom function table. (Lukas Wunner)

   - Miscellaneous cleanups and fixes"

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Expedited grace-period changes, most notably avoiding having user
     threads drive expedited grace periods, using a workqueue instead.

   - Miscellaneous fixes, including a performance fix for lists that was
     sent with the lists modifications.

   - CPU hotplug updates, most notably providing exact CPU-online
     tracking for RCU. This will in turn allow removal of the checks
     supporting RCU's prior heuristic that was based on the assumption
     that CPUs would take no longer than one jiffy to come online.

   - Torture-test updates.
