Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Add powerpc qspinlock implementation optimised for large system
   scalability and paravirt. See the merge message for more details

 - Enable objtool to be built on powerpc to generate mcount locations

 - Use a temporary mm for code patching with the Radix MMU, so the
   writable mapping is restricted to the patching CPU

 - Add an option to build the 64-bit big-endian kernel with the ELFv2
   ABI

 - Sanitise user registers on interrupt entry on 64-bit Book3S

 - Many other small features and fixes

This affects only 64-bit ELFv2 kernels, and reduces the minimum
asm-created stack frame size from 112 to 32 byte on those kernels.

Most callers just want to validate an arbitrary kernel stack pointer,
some need a particular size. Make the size case the exceptional one
with an extra function.

<title>powerpc: copy_thread add a back chain to the switch stack frame</title>

Stack unwinders need LR and the back chain as a minimum. The switch
stack uses regs-&gt;nip for its return pointer rather than lrsave, so
that was not set in the fork frame, and neither was the back chain.
This change sets those fields in the stack.

With this and the previous change, a stack trace in the switch or
interrupt stack goes from looking like this:

Backtraces will not recognise the fork system call interrupt without
the regs marker. And regular interrupt entry from userspace creates
the back chain to the user stack, so do this for the initial fork
frame too, to be consistent.

This is a count of longs from the stack pointer to the regs marker.
Rename it to make it more distinct from the other byte offsets. It

This is a common offset that currently uses the overloaded
STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD constant. It's easier to read and more
flexible to use a specific regs offset for this.
