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"
