Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"Highlights include a major rework of our kPTI page-table rewriting
code (which makes it both more maintainable and considerably faster in
the cases where it is required) as well as significant changes to our
early boot code to reduce the need for data cache maintenance and
greatly simplify the KASLR relocation dance.
Summary:
- Remove unused generic cpuidle support (replaced by PSCI version)
- Fix documentation describing the kernel virtual address space
- Handling of some new CPU errata in Arm implementations
- Rework of our exception table code in preparation for handling
machine checks (i.e. RAS errors) more gracefully
- Switch over to the generic implementation of ioremap()
- Fix lockdep tracking in NMI context
- Instrument our memory barrier macros for KCSAN
- Rework of the kPTI G->nG page-table repainting so that the MMU
remains enabled and the boot time is no longer slowed to a crawl
for systems which require the late remapping
- Enable support for direct swapping of 2MiB transparent huge-pages
on systems without MTE
- Fix handling of MTE tags with allocating new pages with HW KASAN
- Expose the SMIDR register to userspace via sysfs
- Continued rework of the stack unwinder, particularly improving the
behaviour under KASAN
- More repainting of our system register definitions to match the
architectural terminology
- Improvements to the layout of the vDSO objects
- Support for allocating additional bits of HWCAP2 and exposing
FEAT_EBF16 to userspace on CPUs that support it
- Considerable rework and optimisation of our early boot code to
reduce the need for cache maintenance and avoid jumping in and out
of the kernel when handling relocation under KASLR
- Support for disabling SVE and SME support on the kernel
command-line
- Support for the Hisilicon HNS3 PMU
- Miscellanous cleanups, trivial updates and minor fixes"
