Merge tag 'powerpc-4.17-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux
Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Notable changes:
- Support for 4PB user address space on 64-bit, opt-in via mmap().
- Removal of POWER4 support, which was accidentally broken in 2016
and no one noticed, and blocked use of some modern instructions.
- Workarounds so that the hypervisor can enable Transactional Memory
on Power9.
- A series to disable the DAWR (Data Address Watchpoint Register) on
Power9.
- More information displayed in the meltdown/spectre_v1/v2 sysfs
files.
- A vpermxor (Power8 Altivec) implementation for the raid6 Q
Syndrome.
- A big series to make the allocation of our pacas (per cpu area),
kernel page tables, and per-cpu stacks NUMA aware when using the
Radix MMU on Power9.
And as usual many fixes, reworks and cleanups.
