Merge tag 'powerpc-4.12-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux

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.

powerpc/kprobes: Add support for KPROBES_ON_FTRACE

2017-04-24T09:07:58Z

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.

powerpc: Add HAVE_PERF_USER_STACK_DUMP support

2016-05-11T11:54:05Z

With perf regs support enabled for powerpc, in commit ed4a4ef85cf5 ("powerpc/perf: Add support for sampling interrupt register state"), the support for obtaining perf user stack dump is already enabled. This patch declares the support for same and also updates documentation to mark the support for perf-regs and perf-stackdump. Signed-off-by: Chandan Kumar Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman
