No major change here, except that arcv2 images now build. For reference, the riscv build problem is:
cc1: error: '4496' is not a valid offset in '-mstack-protector-guard-offset='
The patch fixing the arm boot problem is queued in pending-fixes.
There is still the warning about missing sha512 code.
[ 3.581014] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 55 at crypto/testmgr.c:5652 alg_test.part.0+0x148/0x460 [ 3.581548] alg: self-tests for drbg_nopr_hmac_sha512 (stdrng) failed (rc=-22)
The patch fixing this problem is queued in linux-next.
