    Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
     "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.
