Merge tag 'efi-urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/efi/efi into efi/urgent

Pull a single UEFI fix from Ard:

- Reduce the severity of the notice that appears when the ESRT table points
to memory that is not covered by the memory map. It is scaring our users
and interfering with their nice splash screens. Note that the ESRT may still
be perfectly usable, and is currently (to my knowledge) not widely used to
begin with.

Merge branch 'WIP.sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull sched.h split-up from Ingo Molnar:
"The point of these changes is to significantly reduce the
<linux/sched.h> header footprint, to speed up the kernel build and to
have a cleaner header structure.

After these changes the new <linux/sched.h>'s typical preprocessed
size goes down from a previous ~0.68 MB (~22K lines) to ~0.45 MB (~15K
lines), which is around 40% faster to build on typical configs.

Not much changed from the last version (-v2) posted three weeks ago: I
eliminated quirks, backmerged fixes plus I rebased it to an upstream
SHA1 from yesterday that includes most changes queued up in -next plus
all sched.h changes that were pending from Andrew.

I've re-tested the series both on x86 and on cross-arch defconfigs,
and did a bisectability test at a number of random points.

I tried to test as many build configurations as possible, but some
build breakage is probably still left - but it should be mostly
limited to architectures that have no cross-compiler binaries
available on kernel.org, and non-default configurations"

sched/headers: Move task_struct::signal and task_struct::sighand types and accessors into <linux/sched/signal.h>

task_struct::signal and task_struct::sighand are pointers, which would normally make it
straightforward to not define those types in sched.h.

That is not so, because the types are accompanied by a myriad of APIs (macros and inline
functions) that dereference them.

Split the types and the APIs out of sched.h and move them into a new header, <linux/sched/signal.h>.

With this change sched.h does not know about 'struct signal' and 'struct sighand' anymore,
trying to put accessors into sched.h as a test fails the following way:

./include/linux/sched.h: In function ‘test_signal_types’:
./include/linux/sched.h:2461:18: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type ‘struct signal_struct’
^

This reduces the size and complexity of sched.h significantly.

Update all headers and .c code that relied on getting the signal handling
functionality from <linux/sched.h> to include <linux/sched/signal.h>.

The list of affected files in the preparatory patch was partly generated by
grepping for the APIs, and partly by doing coverage build testing, both
all[yes|mod|def|no]config builds on 64-bit and 32-bit x86, and an array of
cross-architecture builds.

Nevertheless some (trivial) build breakage is still expected related to rare
Kconfig combinations and in-flight patches to various kernel code, but most
of it should be handled by this patch.

Merge branch 'ipvtap'

Sainath Grandhi says:

====================
Refactor macvtap to re-use tap functionality by other virtual intefaces

Tap character devices can be implemented on other virtual interfaces like
ipvlan, similar to macvtap. Source code for tap functionality in macvtap
can be re-used for this purpose.

This patch series splits macvtap source into two modules, macvtap and tap.
This patch series also includes a patch for implementing tap character
device driver based on the IP-VLAN network interface, called ipvtap.

These patches are tested on x86 platform.
