Linus Torvalds cb95712138 powerpc fixes for 5.9 #3
Add perf support for emitting extended registers for power10.
 
 A fix for CPU hotplug on pseries, where on large/loaded systems we may not wait
 long enough for the CPU to be offlined, leading to crashes.
 
 Addition of a raw cputable entry for Power10, which is not required to boot, but
 is required to make our PMU setup work correctly in guests.
 
 Three fixes for the recent changes on 32-bit Book3S to move modules into their
 own segment for strict RWX.
 
 A fix for a recent change in our powernv PCI code that could lead to crashes.
 
 A change to our perf interrupt accounting to avoid soft lockups when using some
 events, found by syzkaller.
 
 A change in the way we handle power loss events from the hypervisor on pseries.
 We no longer immediately shut down if we're told we're running on a UPS.
 
 A few other minor fixes.

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.
