Linus Torvalds a2953204b5 powerpc fixes for 5.4 #2
An assortment of fixes that were either missed by me, or didn't arrive quite in
 time for the first v5.4 pull.
 
 Most notable is a fix for an issue with tlbie (broadcast TLB invalidation) on
 Power9, when using the Radix MMU. The tlbie can race with an mtpid (move to PID
 register, essentially MMU context switch) on another thread of the core, which
 can cause stores to continue to go to a page after it's unmapped.
 
 A fix in our KVM code to add a missing barrier, the lack of which has been
 observed to cause missed IPIs and subsequently stuck CPUs in the host.
 
 A change to the way we initialise PCR (Processor Compatibility Register) to make
 it forward compatible with future CPUs.
 
 On some older PowerVM systems our H_BLOCK_REMOVE support could oops, fix it to
 detect such systems and fallback to the old invalidation method.
 
 A fix for an oops seen on some machines when using KASAN on 32-bit.
 
 A handful of other minor fixes, and two new selftests.
 
 Thanks to:
   Alistair Popple, Aneesh Kumar K.V, Christophe Leroy, Gustavo Romero, Joel
   Stanley, Jordan Niethe, Laurent Dufour, Michael Roth, Oliver O'Halloran.

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.

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.
