I love the alleged line removal, but there's nothing in that 'merge'
branch. It points to an ancient powerpc commit from 2016.

Hi Linus !
Here are some more powerpc bits for 3.17, essentially fixes.
The biggest series, also aimed at -stable, is from Aneesh and is the result
of weeks and weeks of debugging to find out why the heck or THP implementation
was occasionally triggering multi-hit errors in our level 1 TLB. It en

First an apology ... a lot of the stuff in there was only very recently
committed. This is not the normal process. I'm at fault here, my only
excuse is having been insanely swamped with other things. That's one of
the reasons for co-opting Michael as co-maintainer, to help with

Hi Linus !
Here are the remaining bits I was mentioning earlier. Mostly bug fixes
and new selftests from Michael (yay !). He also removed the WSP platform
and A2 core support which were dead before release, so less clutter.
One little "feature" I snuck in is the doorbell IPI support for

Hi Linus !
Here is the bulk of the powerpc changes for this merge window. It got a bit

discovered I had a core PCI change without a PCI maintainer ack in it. Bjorn

Hi Linus !
This time around, the powerpc merges are going to be a little bit
more complicated than usual.
This is the main pull request with most of the work for this merge
window. I will describe it a bit more further down.
There is some additional cpuidle driver work, however I haven't include

Here are a few more powerpc bits for this merge window. The bulk is made

This breaks booting on G5 11,2, the nouveau driver prints errors and as
result the kernel hangs, fans kick in. This is what I did:

Hi Linus !
So here's my next branch for powerpc. A bit late as I was on vacation
last week. It's mostly the same stuff that was in next already, I just
added two patches today which are the wiring up of lockref for powerpc,
which for some reason fell through the cracks last time and is trivial.

Hi Linus !
Now that you've proven that even a typhoon can't get you, let's start
throwing code at you again !
The bulk of this is LE updates. One should now be able to build an
LE kernel and even run some things in it.
I'm still sitting on a handful of patches to enable the new ABI that

Hi Linus !
This is the powerpc changes for the 3.11 merge window. In addition to
the usual bug fixes and small updates, the main highlights are:
- Support for transparent huge pages by Aneesh Kumar for 64-bit server
processors. This allows the use of 16M pages as transparent huge pages

So from the depth of frozen Minnesota, here's the powerpc pull request

boards:

Hi Linus !
Finally managed to get my head away from some other distractions
to put this pull request together, sorry for the lateness :-)
The main highlight is probably some base POWER8 support. There's
more to come such as transactional memory support but that will
wait for the next one.
