Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:

 - a fix for hugetlb with 4K pages, broken by our recent changes for
   split PMD PTL.

 - set the correct assembler machine type on e500mc, needed since
   binutils 2.26 introduced two forms for the "wait" instruction.

 - a fix for potential missed TLB flushes with MADV_[FREE|DONTNEED] etc.
   and THP on Power9 Radix.

 - three fixes to try and make our panic handling more robust by hard
   disabling interrupts, and not marking stopped CPUs as offline because
   they haven't been properly offlined.

 - three other minor fixes.

Thanks to: Aneesh Kumar K.V, Michael Jeanson, Nicholas Piggin.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
