    Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
     "Notable changes:
    
       - A large series to rewrite our SLB miss handling, replacing a lot of
         fairly complicated asm with much fewer lines of C.
    
       - Following on from that, we now maintain a cache of SLB entries for
         each process and preload them on context switch. Leading to a 27%
         speedup for our context switch benchmark on Power9.
    
       - Improvements to our handling of SLB multi-hit errors. We now print
         more debug information when they occur, and try to continue running
         by flushing the SLB and reloading, rather than treating them as
         fatal.
    
       - Enable THP migration on 64-bit Book3S machines (eg. Power7/8/9).
    
       - Add support for physical memory up to 2PB in the linear mapping on
         64-bit Book3S. We only support up to 512TB as regular system
         memory, otherwise the percpu allocator runs out of vmalloc space.
    
       - Add stack protector support for 32 and 64-bit, with a per-task
         canary.
    
       - Add support for PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP.
    
       - Support recognising "big cores" on Power9, where two SMT4 cores are
         presented to us as a single SMT8 core.
    
       - A large series to cleanup some of our ioremap handling and PTE
         flags.
    
       - Add a driver for the PAPR SCM (storage class memory) interface,
         allowing guests to operate on SCM devices (acked by Dan).
    
       - Changes to our ftrace code to handle very large kernels, where we
         need to use a trampoline to get to ftrace_caller().
    
      And many other smaller enhancements and cleanups.
