Linus Torvalds 7246f60068 powerpc updates for 4.12 part 1.
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.
