This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 4.14.14 release. There are 118 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response to this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please let me know.
Applied to 4.14.13 & built on 3 machines with different old CPUs (Core2Duo, i5/i7 SandyBridge), current gcc 7.2.0 still without retpoline magic (so syscalls only). Ensured CONFIG_RETPOLINE is enabled.
No regressions, no filesystems on fire, no spontaneous reboots.
Also gave this a syscall-heavy workout with iperf, still pushing >10 GB/s locally just as before (within expected deviation). perf bench shows some expected impact though, ~0.2-0.3 µs for scheduling.
Great, thanks for testing, much appreciated.
