    Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
     "Highlights include:
    
       - Support for the kexec_file_load() syscall, which is a prereq for
         secure and trusted boot.
    
       - Prevent kernel execution of userspace on P9 Radix (similar to
         SMEP/PXN).
    
       - Sort the exception tables at build time, to save time at boot, and
         store them as relative offsets to save space in the kernel image &
         memory.
    
       - Allow building the kernel with thin archives, which should allow us
         to build an allyesconfig once some other fixes land.
    
       - Build fixes to allow us to correctly rebuild when changing the
         kernel endian from big to little or vice versa.
    
       - Plumbing so that we can avoid doing a full mm TLB flush on P9
         Radix.
    
       - Initial stack protector support (-fstack-protector).
    
       - Support for dumping the radix (aka. Linux) and hash page tables via
         debugfs.
    
       - Fix an oops in cxl coredump generation when cxl_get_fd() is used.
    
       - Freescale updates from Scott: "Highlights include 8xx hugepage
         support, qbman fixes/cleanup, device tree updates, and some misc
         cleanup."
    
       - Many and varied fixes and minor enhancements as always.
