Merge tag 'powerpc-5.17-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux
Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: - Optimise radix KVM guest entry/exit by 2x on Power9/Power10. - Allow firmware to tell us whether to disable the entry and uaccess flushes on Power10 or later CPUs. - Add BPF_PROBE_MEM support for 32 and 64-bit BPF jits. - Several fixes and improvements to our hard lockup watchdog. - Activate HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS on 32-bit. - Allow building the 64-bit Book3S kernel without hash MMU support, ie. Radix only. - Add KUAP (SMAP) support for 40x, 44x, 8xx, Book3E (64-bit). - Add new encodings for perf_mem_data_src.mem_hops field, and use them on Power10. - A series of small performance improvements to 64-bit interrupt entry. - Several commits fixing issues when building with the clang integrated assembler. - Many other small features and fixes.
