Linus Torvalds c90fca951e powerpc updates for 4.18
Notable changes:
 
  - Support for split PMD page table lock on 64-bit Book3S (Power8/9).
 
  - Add support for HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE, so we properly support live
    patching again.
 
  - Add support for patching barrier_nospec in copy_from_user() and syscall entry.
 
  - A couple of fixes for our data breakpoints on Book3S.
 
  - A series from Nick optimising TLB/mm handling with the Radix MMU.
 
  - Numerous small cleanups to squash sparse/gcc warnings from Mathieu Malaterre.
 
  - Several series optimising various parts of the 32-bit code from Christophe Leroy.
 
  - Removal of support for two old machines, "SBC834xE" and "C2K" ("GEFanuc,C2K"),
    which is why the diffstat has so many deletions.
 
 And many other small improvements & fixes.
 
 There's a few out-of-area changes. Some minor ftrace changes OK'ed by Steve, and
 a fix to our powernv cpuidle driver. Then there's a series touching mm, x86 and
 fs/proc/task_mmu.c, which cleans up some details around pkey support. It was
 ack'ed/reviewed by Ingo & Dave and has been in next for several weeks.
