Linux 4.14 rc8

So it's actually been a pretty good week, and I'm not really unhappywith any of the patches that came in.But to actually have decided that we don't need an rc8 this release,it would have had to be really totally quiet, and it wasn't. Nothinglooks scary, but we did have a few reverts in here still, and I'lljust feel happier giving 4.14 another final week... and I really hope that _will_ be the final week, and we don't findanything new scary.I don't think we will.This rc8 does mean that the latter half of the next merge window willbe during the Thanksgiving week, when I'm on vacation with the family.We'll see how that goes. I'm hoping that people will just send mestuff early (particularly since there's now an extra week of 4.14),and that I'll have a sufficient bulk of merging done the first weekthat me traveling with a laptop doesn't even really impact the mergewindow.And if not, and I have trouble handling it, I may have to just extendthe merge window a bit. We've done this before, it's inconvenient butnot the end of the world.Anyway, on to rc8: the diffstat actually looks huge, because I didtake the first round of SPDX markings (nicely scriptable and legiblelicense tags), so there's a lot of added one-liners to a large numberof files. That will keep happening for a while.But that obviously doesn't actually change any code, although it didtrigger a trivial build change.Those one-liner spdx additions do kind of obscure the real changes,though, if you look at the diff. You can get a fairly good overviewfrom skimming the appended shortlog instead, and it's all prettysmall: most of it is some minor arch fixes, with a smattering ofnetworking and driver (sound, drm, mmc, clk, networking) updates. MIPSshows up, mainly due to some email address updates (due to theimgtec.com -> mips.com update). The rest is tooling, docs, and misc(key handling, some vm fixes, etc).One thing I got complaints about and was clearly not popular was how/proc/cpuinfo didn't give useful frequencies on x86 any more since4.13 - that got fixed (and backported to stable). Maybe that's themost noticeable one to most people - the rest really is small internalbug fixes.Go forth and test,                 Linus
