Pull powerpc fix from Michael Ellerman: "Just one fix, to make sure the PCR (Processor Compatibility Register) is reset on boot. Otherwise if we're running in compat mode in a guest (eg. pretending a Power9 is a Power8) and the host kernel oopses and kdumps then the kdump kernel's userspace will be running in Power8 mode, and will SIGILL if it uses Power9-only instructions. Thanks to Michael Neuling" * tag 'powerpc-4.17-7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux: powerpc/64s: Clear PCR on boot
