Merge tag 'powerpc-5.13-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux
Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: - Enable KFENCE for 32-bit. - Implement EBPF for 32-bit. - Convert 32-bit to do interrupt entry/exit in C. - Convert 64-bit BookE to do interrupt entry/exit in C. - Changes to our signal handling code to use user_access_begin/end() more extensively. - Add support for time namespaces (CONFIG_TIME_NS) - A series of fixes that allow us to reenable STRICT_KERNEL_RWX. - Other smaller features, fixes & cleanups.
