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>powerpc: Change places using CONFIG_KEXEC to use CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE instead.</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 2965faa5e03d ("kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core
code") introduced CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE so that CONFIG_KEXEC means whether
the kexec_load system call should be compiled-in and CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE
means whether the kexec_file_load system call should be compiled-in.
These options can be set independently from each other.

Since until now powerpc only supported kexec_load, CONFIG_KEXEC and
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE were synonyms. That is not the case anymore, so we
need to make a distinction. Almost all places where CONFIG_KEXEC was
being used should be using CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE instead, since
kexec_file_load also needs that code compiled in.

<title>powerpc/64: Fix setting of AIL in hypervisor mode</title>

Commit d3cbff1b5 "powerpc: Put exception configuration in a common place"
broke the setting of the AIL bit (which enables taking exceptions with
the MMU still on) on all processors, moving it incorrectly to a function
called only on the boot CPU. This was correct for the guest case but
not when running in hypervisor mode.

This fixes it by partially reverting that commit, putting the setting
back in cpu_ready_for_interrupts()

We cannot do those initializations from apply_feature_fixups() as
this function runs in a very restricted environment on 32-bit where
the kernel isn't running at its linked address and the PTRRELOC()
macro must be used for any global accesss.

Instead, split them into a separtate steup_feature_keys() function
which is called in a more suitable spot on ppc32.

<title>powerpc/mm: Convert early cpu/mmu feature check to use the new helpers</title>

This switches early feature checks to use the non static key variant of
the function. In later patches we will be switching cpu_has_feature()
and mmu_has_feature() to use static keys and we can use them only after
static key/jump label is initialized. Any check for feature before jump
label init should be done using this new helper.

<title>powerpc/64: Do feature patching before MMU init</title>

Up until now we needed to do the MMU init before feature patching,
because part of the MMU init was scanning the device tree and setting
and/or clearing some MMU feature bits.

Now that we have split that MMU feature modification out into routines
called from early_init_devtree() (called earlier) we can now do feature
patching before calling MMU init.

The advantage of this is it means the remainder of the MMU init runs
with the final set of features which will apply for the rest of the life
of the system. This means we don't have to special case anything called
from MMU init to deal with a changing set of feature bits.

There is little enough differences now.

mpe: Add a/p/k/setup.h to contain the prototypes and empty versions of
functions we need, rather than using weak functions. Add a few other
empty versions to avoid as many #ifdefs as possible in the code.

It makes more sense to do it before intializing xmon() as xmon might
use the info in there. We do want to register the console early
though in case we want some functioning printk's in the cpu map setup.
