Linus Torvalds bac65d9d87 powerpc updates for 4.14
Nothing really major this release, despite quite a lot of activity. Just lots of
 things all over the place.
 
 Some things of note include:
 
  - Access via perf to a new type of PMU (IMC) on Power9, which can count both
    core events as well as nest unit events (Memory controller etc).
 
  - Optimisations to the radix MMU TLB flushing, mostly to avoid unnecessary Page
    Walk Cache (PWC) flushes when the structure of the tree is not changing.
 
  - Reworks/cleanups of do_page_fault() to modernise it and bring it closer to
    other architectures where possible.
 
  - Rework of our page table walking so that THP updates only need to send IPIs
    to CPUs where the affected mm has run, rather than all CPUs.
 
  - The size of our vmalloc area is increased to 56T on 64-bit hash MMU systems.
    This avoids problems with the percpu allocator on systems with very sparse
    NUMA layouts.
 
  - STRICT_KERNEL_RWX support on PPC32.
 
  - A new sched domain topology for Power9, to capture the fact that pairs of
    cores may share an L2 cache.
 
  - Power9 support for VAS, which is a new mechanism for accessing coprocessors,
    and initial support for using it with the NX compression accelerator.
 
  - Major work on the instruction emulation support, adding support for many new
    instructions, and reworking it so it can be used to implement the emulation
    needed to fixup alignment faults.
 
  - Support for guests under PowerVM to use the Power9 XIVE interrupt controller.
 
 And probably that many things again that are almost as interesting, but I had to
 keep the list short. Plus the usual fixes and cleanups as always.
