Merge tag 'powerpc-5.13-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux
Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
- Enable KFENCE for 32-bit.
- Implement EBPF for 32-bit.
- Convert 32-bit to do interrupt entry/exit in C.
- Convert 64-bit BookE to do interrupt entry/exit in C.
- Changes to our signal handling code to use user_access_begin/end()
more extensively.
- Add support for time namespaces (CONFIG_TIME_NS)
- A series of fixes that allow us to reenable STRICT_KERNEL_RWX.
- Other smaller features, fixes & cleanups.
