Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux
Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens: "Since Martin is on vacation you get the s390 pull request for the v4.15 merge window this time from me. Besides a lot of cleanups and bug fixes these are the most important changes: - a new regset for runtime instrumentation registers - hardware accelerated AES-GCM support for the aes_s390 module - support for the new CEX6S crypto cards - support for FORTIFY_SOURCE - addition of missing z13 and new z14 instructions to the in-kernel disassembler - generate opcode tables for the in-kernel disassembler out of a simple text file instead of having to manually maintain those tables - fast memset16, memset32 and memset64 implementations - removal of named saved segment support - hardware counter support for z14 - queued spinlocks and queued rwlocks implementations for s390 - use the stack_depth tracking feature for s390 BPF JIT - a new s390_sthyi system call which emulates the sthyi (store hypervisor information) instruction - removal of the old KVM virtio transport - an s390 specific CPU alternatives implementation which is used in the new spinlock code" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: (88 commits) MAINTAINERS: add virtio-ccw.h to virtio/s390 section s390/noexec: execute kexec datamover without DAT s390: fix transactional execution control register handling s390/bpf: take advantage of stack_depth tracking s390: simplify transactional execution elf hwcap handling s390/zcrypt: Rework struct ap_qact_ap_info. s390/virtio: remove unused header file kvm_virtio.h s390: avoid undefined behaviour s390/disassembler: generate opcode tables from text file s390/disassembler: remove insn_to_mnemonic() s390/dasd: avoid calling do_gettimeofday() s390: vfio-ccw: Do not attempt to free no-op, test and tic cda. s390: remove named saved segment support s390/archrandom: Reconsider s390 arch random implementation s390/pci: do not require AIS facility s390/qdio: sanitize put_indicator s390/qdio: use atomic_cmpxchg s390/nmi: avoid using long-displacement facility s390: pass endianness info to sparse s390/decompressor: remove informational messages ...
