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 &amp;
     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.

<title>tcp: SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS option for SO_TIMESTAMPING</title>

<id>1c885808e45601b2b6f68b30ac1d999e10b6f606</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch exports the sender chronograph stats via the socket
SO_TIMESTAMPING channel. Currently we can instrument how long a
particular application unit of data was queued in TCP by tracking
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SCHED. Having
these sender chronograph stats exported simultaneously along with
these timestamps allow further breaking down the various sender
limitation.  For example, a video server can tell if a particular
chunk of video on a connection takes a long time to deliver because
TCP was experiencing small receive window. It is not possible to
tell before this patch without packet traces.

To prepare these stats, the user needs to set
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY flags
while requesting other SOF_TIMESTAMPING TX timestamps. When the
timestamps are available in the error queue, the stats are returned
in a separate control message of type SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS,
in a list of TLVs (struct nlattr) of types: TCP_NLA_BUSY_TIME,
TCP_NLA_RWND_LIMITED, TCP_NLA_SNDBUF_LIMITED. Unit is microsecond.

<id>e9cf1e085647b433ccd98582681b17121ecfdc21</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds code to handle two new guest-accessible special-purpose
registers on POWER9: TIDR (thread ID register) and PSSCR (processor
stop status and control register).  They are context-switched
between host and guest, and the guest values can be read and set
via the one_reg interface.

The PSSCR contains some fields which are guest-accessible and some
which are only accessible in hypervisor mode.  We only allow the
guest-accessible fields to be read or set by userspace.

<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Save/restore XER in checkpointed register state</title>

<id>0d808df06a44200f52262b6eb72bcb6042f5a7c5</id>
<content type='text'>
When switching from/to a guest that has a transaction in progress,
we need to save/restore the checkpointed register state.  Although
XER is part of the CPU state that gets checkpointed, the code that
does this saving and restoring doesn't save/restore XER.

This fixes it by saving and restoring the XER.  To allow userspace
to read/write the checkpointed XER value, we also add a new ONE_REG
specifier.

The visible effect of this bug is that the guest may see its XER
value being corrupted when it uses transactions.

This patch enables support for Performance monitor registers related
ELF core note NT_PPC_PMU based ptrace requests through
PTRACE_GETREGSET, PTRACE_SETREGSET calls. This is achieved
through adding one new register sets REGSET_PMU in powerpc
corresponding to the ELF core note sections added in this
regard. It also implements the get, set and active functions
for this new register sets added.

This patch enables support for EBB state registers related
ELF core note NT_PPC_EBB based ptrace requests through
PTRACE_GETREGSET, PTRACE_SETREGSET calls. This is achieved
through adding one new register sets REGSET_EBB in powerpc
corresponding to the ELF core note sections added in this
regard. It also implements the get, set and active functions
for this new register sets added.

This patch enables support for TM SPR state related ELF core
note NT_PPC_TM_SPR based ptrace requests through PTRACE_GETREGSET,
PTRACE_SETREGSET calls. This is achieved through adding a register
set REGSET_TM_SPR in powerpc corresponding to the ELF core note
section added. It implements the get, set and active functions for
this new register set added.
