Merge tag 'powerpc-4.19-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux
Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Notable changes:
- A fix for a bug in our page table fragment allocator, where a page
table page could be freed and reallocated for something else while
still in use, leading to memory corruption etc. The fix reuses
pt_mm in struct page (x86 only) for a powerpc only refcount.
- Fixes to our pkey support. Several are user-visible changes, but
bring us in to line with x86 behaviour and/or fix outright bugs.
Thanks to Florian Weimer for reporting many of these.
- A series to improve the hvc driver & related OPAL console code,
which have been seen to cause hardlockups at times. The hvc driver
changes in particular have been in linux-next for ~month.
- Increase our MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS to 128TB when SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=y.
- Remove Power8 DD1 and Power9 DD1 support, neither chip should be in
use anywhere other than as a paper weight.
- An optimised memcmp implementation using Power7-or-later VMX
instructions
- Support for barrier_nospec on some NXP CPUs.
- Support for flushing the count cache on context switch on some IBM
CPUs (controlled by firmware), as a Spectre v2 mitigation.
- A series to enhance the information we print on unhandled signals
to bring it into line with other arches, including showing the
offending VMA and dumping the instructions around the fault.
