Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "Highlights: - Infrastructure for secure boot on some bare metal Power9 machines. The firmware support is still in development, so the code here won't actually activate secure boot on any existing systems. - A change to xmon (our crash handler / pseudo-debugger) to restrict it to read-only mode when the kernel is lockdown'ed, otherwise it's trivial to drop into xmon and modify kernel data, such as the lockdown state. - Support for KASLR on 32-bit BookE machines (Freescale / NXP). - Fixes for our flush_icache_range() and __kernel_sync_dicache() (VDSO) to work with memory ranges >4GB. - Some reworks of the pseries CMM (Cooperative Memory Management) driver to make it behave more like other balloon drivers and enable some cleanups of generic mm code. - A series of fixes to our hardware breakpoint support to properly handle unaligned watchpoint addresses. Plus a bunch of other smaller improvements, fixes and cleanups.

+===========================
+KASLR for Freescale BookE32
+===========================
+
+The word KASLR stands for Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization.
+
+This document tries to explain the implementation of the KASLR for
+Freescale BookE32. KASLR is a security feature that deters exploit
+attempts relying on knowledge of the location of kernel internals.
+
+Since CONFIG_RELOCATABLE has already supported, what we need to do is
+map or copy kernel to a proper place and relocate. Freescale Book-E
+parts expect lowmem to be mapped by fixed TLB entries(TLB1). The TLB1
+entries are not suitable to map the kernel directly in a randomized
+region, so we chose to copy the kernel to a proper place and restart to
+relocate.
+
+Entropy is derived from the banner and timer base, which will change every
+build and boot. This not so much safe so additionally the bootloader may
+pass entropy via the /chosen/kaslr-seed node in device tree.
+
+We will use the first 512M of the low memory to randomize the kernel
+image. The memory will be split in 64M zones. We will use the lower 8
+bit of the entropy to decide the index of the 64M zone. Then we chose a
+16K aligned offset inside the 64M zone to put the kernel in::
+
+ KERNELBASE
+
+ |--> 64M <--|
+ | |
+ +---------------+ +----------------+---------------+
+ | |....| |kernel| | |
+ +---------------+ +----------------+---------------+
+ | |
+ |-----> offset <-----|
+
+ kernstart_virt_addr
+
+To enable KASLR, set CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE = y. If KASLR is enable and you
+want to disable it at runtime, add "nokaslr" to the kernel cmdline.
