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
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.
