2017-05-05Merge tag 'powerpc-4.12-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linuxLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "Highlights include: - Larger virtual address space on 64-bit server CPUs. By default we use a 128TB virtual address space, but a process can request access to the full 512TB by passing a hint to mmap(). - Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller. - TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9. - Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator Interface Architecture 2.0". - The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and runtime. - Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as support for KPROBES_ON_FTRACE. - Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts, correctly treating them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and using a new hypervisor call to trigger them, all of which should aid debugging and robustness. - Many fixes and other minor enhancements.

2017-05-01docs: remove all references to AVR32 architectureHans-Christian Noren Egtvedt10-10/+0
The AVR32 architecture support has been removed from the Linux kernel, hence remove all references to it from Documentation.

2017-04-24powerpc/kprobes: Add support for KPROBES_ON_FTRACENaveen N. Rao1-1/+1
Allow kprobes to be placed on ftrace _mcount() call sites. This optimization avoids the use of a trap, by riding on ftrace infrastructure. This depends on HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS which depends on MPROFILE_KERNEL, which is only currently enabled on powerpc64le with newer toolchains. Based on the x86 code by Masami.
