    Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
    
     - Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks.
    
     - Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on
       Power9 or later.
    
     - Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be
       unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way
       to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking
       userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice.
    
     - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion
       checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other
       architectures.
    
     - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update
       code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised
       systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems.
    
     - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs.
    
     - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link
       stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path.
    
     - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as
       usual.
