Merge tag 'v4.13-rc1' into fixes
The fixes branch is based off a random pre-rc1 commit, because we had some fixes that needed to go in before rc1 was released. However we now need to fix some code that went in after that point, but before rc1, so merge rc1 to get that code into fixes so we can fix it!

Hardlockups are bugs that cause the CPU to loop in kernel mode
for more than 10 seconds, without letting other interrupts have a
chance to run. The current stack trace is displayed upon detection
and the system will stay locked up.
- The overhead should be minimal. A periodic hrtimer runs to
- generate interrupts and kick the watchdog task every 4 seconds.
- An NMI is generated every 10 seconds or so to check for hardlockups.
-
- The frequency of hrtimer and NMI events and the soft and hard lockup
- thresholds can be controlled through the sysctl watchdog_thresh.

+ Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of
+ cryptographically secure random numbers before it's actually possible
+ to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
+ flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever
+ occur. This will allow people with obscure setups to know when things
+ are going wrong, so that they might contact developers about fixing
+ it.
+
+ Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting
+ a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can
+ result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long
+ time. This is really bad from a security perspective, and
+ so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can
+ to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.
+ However, since users can not do anything actionble to
+ address this, by default the kernel will issue only a single
+ warning for the first use of unseeded randomness.
+
+ Say Y here if you want to receive warnings for all uses of
+ unseeded randomness. This will be of use primarily for
+ those developers interersted in improving the security of
+ Linux kernels running on their architecture (or
