Merge tag 'powerpc-4.19-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux
Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "Notable changes: - A fix for a bug in our page table fragment allocator, where a page table page could be freed and reallocated for something else while still in use, leading to memory corruption etc. The fix reuses pt_mm in struct page (x86 only) for a powerpc only refcount. - Fixes to our pkey support. Several are user-visible changes, but bring us in to line with x86 behaviour and/or fix outright bugs. Thanks to Florian Weimer for reporting many of these. - A series to improve the hvc driver & related OPAL console code, which have been seen to cause hardlockups at times. The hvc driver changes in particular have been in linux-next for ~month. - Increase our MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS to 128TB when SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=y. - Remove Power8 DD1 and Power9 DD1 support, neither chip should be in use anywhere other than as a paper weight. - An optimised memcmp implementation using Power7-or-later VMX instructions - Support for barrier_nospec on some NXP CPUs. - Support for flushing the count cache on context switch on some IBM CPUs (controlled by firmware), as a Spectre v2 mitigation. - A series to enhance the information we print on unhandled signals to bring it into line with other arches, including showing the offending VMA and dumping the instructions around the fault.

Description: Write an integer containing the size in bytes of the memory
you want removed from each NUMA node to this file - it must be
aligned to the memblock size. This amount of RAM will be removed
- from the kernel mappings and the following debugfs files will be
- created. This can only be successfully done once per boot. Once
- memory is successfully removed from each node, the following
- files are created.
+ from each NUMA node in the kernel mappings and the following
+ debugfs files will be created. Once memory is successfully
+ removed from each node, the following files are created. To
+ re-add memory to the kernel, echo 0 into this file (it will be
+ automatically onlined).
