Merge tag 'powerpc-4.10-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux

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 &
     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.
