Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Slightly delayed due to the issue with printk() calling
probe_kernel_read() interacting with our new user access prevention
stuff, but all fixed now.
The only out-of-area changes are the addition of a cpuhp_state, small
additions to Documentation and MAINTAINERS updates.
Highlights:
- Support for Kernel Userspace Access/Execution Prevention (like
SMAP/SMEP/PAN/PXN) on some 64-bit and 32-bit CPUs. This prevents
the kernel from accidentally accessing userspace outside
copy_to/from_user(), or ever executing userspace.
- KASAN support on 32-bit.
- Rework of where we map the kernel, vmalloc, etc. on 64-bit hash to
use the same address ranges we use with the Radix MMU.
- A rewrite into C of large parts of our idle handling code for
64-bit Book3S (ie. power8 & power9).
- A fast path entry for syscalls on 32-bit CPUs, for a 12-17% speedup
in the null_syscall benchmark.
- On 64-bit bare metal we have support for recovering from errors
with the time base (our clocksource), however if that fails
currently we hang in __delay() and never crash. We now have support
for detecting that case and short circuiting __delay() so we at
least panic() and reboot.
- Add support for optionally enabling the DAWR on Power9, which had
to be disabled by default due to a hardware erratum. This has the
effect of enabling hardware breakpoints for GDB, the downside is a
badly behaved program could crash the machine by pointing the DAWR
at cache inhibited memory. This is opt-in obviously.
- xmon, our crash handler, gets support for a read only mode where
operations that could change memory or otherwise disturb the system
are disabled.
Plus many clean-ups, reworks and minor fixes etc.
