Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
- arm64 perf: DDR PMU driver for Alibaba's T-Head Yitian 710 SoC, SVE
vector granule register added to the user regs together with SVE perf
extensions documentation.
- SVE updates: add HWCAP for SVE EBF16, update the SVE ABI
documentation to match the actual kernel behaviour (zeroing the
registers on syscall rather than "zeroed or preserved" previously).
- More conversions to automatic system registers generation.
- vDSO: use self-synchronising virtual counter access in gettimeofday()
if the architecture supports it.
- arm64 stacktrace cleanups and improvements.
- arm64 atomics improvements: always inline assembly, remove LL/SC
trampolines.
- Improve the reporting of EL1 exceptions: rework BTI and FPAC
exception handling, better EL1 undefs reporting.
- Cortex-A510 erratum 2658417: remove BF16 support due to incorrect
result.
- arm64 defconfig updates: build CoreSight as a module, enable options
necessary for docker, memory hotplug/hotremove, enable all PMUs
provided by Arm.
- arm64 ptrace() support for TPIDR2_EL0 (register provided with the SME
extensions).
- arm64 ftraces updates/fixes: fix module PLTs with mcount, remove
unused function.
- kselftest updates for arm64: simple HWCAP validation, FP stress test
improvements, validation of ZA regs in signal handlers, include
larger SVE and SME vector lengths in signal tests, various cleanups.
- arm64 alternatives (code patching) improvements to robustness and
consistency: replace cpucap static branches with equivalent
alternatives, associate callback alternatives with a cpucap.
- Miscellaneous updates: optimise kprobe performance of patching
single-step slots, simplify uaccess_mask_ptr(), move MTE registers
initialisation to C, support huge vmalloc() mappings, run softirqs on
the per-CPU IRQ stack, compat (arm32) misalignment fixups for
multiword accesses.
