Hi all,

These are the changes we have queued up in the EFI tree for v4.14. Please
pull.

Russell has been cc'ed twice on the patches that touch the linker script
of the ARM decompressor, and has elected not to respond, so I assume he
has no objections.

The following changes since commit 5771a8c08880cdca3bfb4a3fc6d309d6bba20877:

Linux v4.13-rc1 (2017-07-15 15:22:10 -0700)

are available in the git repository at:

firmware: efi: esrt: constify attribute_group structures. (2017-08-18 19:55:50 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
EFI changes for v4.14:
- don't mark ACPI reclaim regions as NOMAP on ARM
- update the compiler flags for the arm64 version of the EFI stub so that
we can be confident that no absolute relocations are emitted, even when
using clang
- update the EFI framebuffer address if points to a BAR that gets moved
by the PCI resource allocation code
- fallback to other poweroff method if EFI poweroff fails (and returns)
- use separate PE/COFF section headers for the RX and RW parts of the ARM
stub loader so that the firmware can use strict mapping permissions
- constify some struct attribute_group instances

----------------------------------------------------------------
Ard Biesheuvel (10):
