Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Highlights include:
- Larger virtual address space on 64-bit server CPUs. By default we
use a 128TB virtual address space, but a process can request access
to the full 512TB by passing a hint to mmap().
- Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller.
- TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9.
- Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator
Interface Architecture 2.0".
- The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and
runtime.
- Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as
support for KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.
- Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts,
correctly treating them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and
using a new hypervisor call to trigger them, all of which should
aid debugging and robustness.
- Many fixes and other minor enhancements.
