Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas: - Support for running Linux in a protected VM under the Arm Confidential Compute Architecture (CCA) - Guarded Control Stack user-space support. Current patches follow the x86 ABI of implicitly creating a shadow stack on clone(). Subsequent patches (already on the list) will add support for clone3() allowing finer-grained control of the shadow stack size and placement from libc - AT_HWCAP3 support (not running out of HWCAP2 bits yet but we are getting close with the upcoming dpISA support) - Other arch features: - In-kernel use of the memcpy instructions, FEAT_MOPS (previously only exposed to user; uaccess support not merged yet) - MTE: hugetlbfs support and the corresponding kselftests - Optimise CRC32 using the PMULL instructions - Support for FEAT_HAFT enabling ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG - Optimise the kernel TLB flushing to use the range operations - POE/pkey (permission overlays): further cleanups after bringing the signal handler in line with the x86 behaviour for 6.12 - arm64 perf updates: - Support for the NXP i.MX91 PMU in the existing IMX driver - Support for Ampere SoCs in the Designware PCIe PMU driver - Support for Marvell's 'PEM' PCIe PMU present in the 'Odyssey' SoC - Support for Samsung's 'Mongoose' CPU PMU - Support for PMUv3.9 finer-grained userspace counter access control - Switch back to platform_driver::remove() now that it returns 'void' - Add some missing events for the CXL PMU driver - Miscellaneous arm64 fixes/cleanups: - Page table accessors cleanup: type updates, drop unused macros, reorganise arch_make_huge_pte() and clean up pte_mkcont(), sanity check addresses before runtime P4D/PUD folding - Command line override for ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.ECV (advertising the FEAT_ECV for the generic timers) allowing Linux to boot with firmware deployments that don't set SCTLR_EL3.ECVEn - ACPI/arm64: tighten the check for the array of platform timer structures and adjust the error handling procedure in gtdt_parse_timer_block() - Optimise the cache flush for the uprobes xol slot (skip if no change) and other uprobes/kprobes cleanups - Fix the context switching of tpidrro_el0 when kpti is enabled - Dynamic shadow call stack fixes - Sysreg updates - Various arm64 kselftest improvements * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (168 commits) arm64: tls: Fix context-switching of tpidrro_el0 when kpti is enabled kselftest/arm64: Try harder to generate different keys during PAC tests kselftest/arm64: Don't leak pipe fds in pac.exec_sign_all() arm64/ptrace: Clarify documentation of VL configuration via ptrace kselftest/arm64: Corrupt P0 in the irritator when testing SSVE acpi/arm64: remove unnecessary cast arm64/mm: Change protval as 'pteval_t' in map_range() kselftest/arm64: Fix missing printf() argument in gcs/gcs-stress.c kselftest/arm64: Add FPMR coverage to fp-ptrace kselftest/arm64: Expand the set of ZA writes fp-ptrace does kselftets/arm64: Use flag bits for features in fp-ptrace assembler code kselftest/arm64: Enable build of PAC tests with LLVM=1 kselftest/arm64: Check that SVCR is 0 in signal handlers selftests/mm: Fix unused function warning for aarch64_write_signal_pkey() kselftest/arm64: Fix printf() compiler warnings in the arm64 syscall-abi.c tests kselftest/arm64: Fix printf() warning in the arm64 MTE prctl() test kselftest/arm64: Fix printf() compiler warnings in the arm64 fp tests kselftest/arm64: Fix build with stricter assemblers arm64/scs: Drop unused prototype __pi_scs_patch_vmlinux() arm64/scs: Deal with 64-bit relative offsets in FDE frames ...

+Marvell Odyssey PEM Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU UNCORE)
+=================================================================
+
+The PCI Express Interface Units(PEM) are associated with a corresponding
+monitoring unit. This includes performance counters to track various
+characteristics of the data that is transmitted over the PCIe link.
+
+The counters track inbound and outbound transactions which
+includes separate counters for posted/non-posted/completion TLPs.
+Also, inbound and outbound memory read requests along with their
+latencies can also be monitored. Address Translation Services(ATS)events
+such as ATS Translation, ATS Page Request, ATS Invalidation along with
+their corresponding latencies are also tracked.
+
+There are separate 64 bit counters to measure posted/non-posted/completion
+tlps in inbound and outbound transactions. ATS events are measured by
+different counters.
+
+The PMU driver exposes the available events and format options under sysfs,
+/sys/bus/event_source/devices/mrvl_pcie_rc_pmu_<>/events/
+/sys/bus/event_source/devices/mrvl_pcie_rc_pmu_<>/format/
