Linus Torvalds 866ba84ea3 powerpc fixes for 4.14 #6
A fix to the handling of misaligned paste instructions (P9 only), where a change
 to a #define has caused the check for the instruction to always fail.
 
 The preempt handling was unbalanced in the radix THP flush (P9 only). Though we
 don't generally use preempt we want to keep it working as much as possible.
 
 Two fixes for IMC (P9 only), one when booting with restricted number of CPUs and
 one in the error handling when initialisation fails due to firmware etc.
 
 A revert to fix function_graph on big endian machines, and then a rework of the
 reverted patch to fix kprobes blacklist handling on big endian machines.

   Anju T Sudhakar, Guilherme G. Piccoli, Madhavan Srinivasan, Naveen N. Rao,
   Nicholas Piggin, Paul Mackerras.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
 "Some more powerpc fixes for 4.14.

  This is bigger than I like to send at rc7, but that's at least partly
  because I didn't send any fixes last week. If it wasn't for the IMC
  driver, which is new and getting heavy testing, the diffstat would
  look a bit better. I've also added ftrace on big endian to my test
  suite, so we shouldn't break that again in future.

   - A fix to the handling of misaligned paste instructions (P9 only),
     where a change to a #define has caused the check for the
     instruction to always fail.

     only). Though we don't generally use preempt we want to keep it

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
