Ack.

There are some overlapping patches here due to Eric's signal rework,
related arch fixes and apparently some other unrelated updates.

IIUC, some patches overlap between arm64's and Eric's -next trees for
dependency reasons, but I believe the affected arm64 patches are due to
merge via Eric's tree for v4.17.
