As you might expect, I am very keen to get the long lived thread support
for fuzzy sync into this release:

 tst_atomic: Add load, store and use __atomic builtins   
 tst_atomic: Add atomic store and load tests   
 fzsync: Add long running thread support and deviation stats   
 fzsync: Add functionality test for library   
 Convert cve-2016-7117 test to use long running threads   
 Convert cve-2014-0196 to use long running threads   
 Convert cve-2017-2671 to use long running threads   

Also the following patches would be nice:

 lib: Add personality fallback and SAFE macro   
 CVE-2012-0957: Use SAFE_PERSONALITY   
 Test for CVE-2016-10044 mark AIO pseudo-fs noexec   

 thp01: Find largest arguments size   

 Add test for CVE-2017-7308 on a raw socket's ring buffer   

 madvise07: Increase probability of testing a supported page type
