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
