Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon: - Support for new architectural features introduced in ARMv8.1: * Privileged Access Never (PAN) to catch user pointer dereferences in the kernel * Large System Extension (LSE) for building scalable atomics and locks (depends on locking/arch-atomic from tip, which is included here) * Hardware Dirty Bit Management (DBM) for updating clean PTEs automatically - Move our PSCI implementation out into drivers/firmware/, where it can be shared with arch/arm/. RMK has also pulled this component branch and has additional patches moving arch/arm/ over. MAINTAINERS is updated accordingly. - Better BUG implementation based on the BRK instruction for trapping - Leaf TLB invalidation for unmapping user pages - Support for PROBE_ONLY PCI configurations - Various cleanups and non-critical fixes, including: * Always flush FP/SIMD state over exec() * Restrict memblock additions based on range of linear mapping * Ensure *(LIST_POISON) generates a fatal fault * Context-tracking syscall return no longer corrupts return value when not forced on. * Alternatives patching synchronisation/stability improvements * Signed sub-word cmpxchg compare fix (tickled by HAVE_CMPXCHG_LOCAL) * Force SMP=y * Hide direct DCC access from userspace * Fix EFI stub memory allocation when DRAM starts at 0x0 * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (92 commits) arm64: flush FP/SIMD state correctly after execve() arm64: makefile: fix perf_callchain.o kconfig dependency arm64: set MAX_MEMBLOCK_ADDR according to linear region size of/fdt: make memblock maximum physical address arch configurable arm64: Fix source code file path in comments arm64: entry: always restore x0 from the stack on syscall return arm64: mdscr_el1: avoid exposing DCC to userspace arm64: kconfig: Move LIST_POISON to a safe value arm64: Add __exception_irq_entry definition for function graph arm64: mm: ensure patched kernel text is fetched from PoU arm64: alternatives: ensure secondary CPUs execute ISB after patching arm64: make ll/sc __cmpxchg_case_##name asm consistent arm64: dma-mapping: Simplify pgprot handling arm64: restore cpu suspend/resume functionality ARM64: PCI: do not enable resources on PROBE_ONLY systems arm64: cmpxchg: truncate sub-word signed types before comparison arm64: alternative: put secondary CPUs into polling loop during patch arm64/Documentation: clarify wording regarding memory below the Image arm64: lse: fix lse cmpxchg code indentation arm64: remove redundant object file list ...

+ help
+ The ARMv8.1 architecture extensions introduce support for
+ hardware updates of the access and dirty information in page
+ table entries. When enabled in TCR_EL1 (HA and HD bits) on
+ capable processors, accesses to pages with PTE_AF cleared will
+ set this bit instead of raising an access flag fault.
+ Similarly, writes to read-only pages with the DBM bit set will
+ clear the read-only bit (AP[2]) instead of raising a

+ Privileged Access Never (PAN; part of the ARMv8.1 Extensions)

+ Choosing this option will cause any unprotected (not using

+ Say Y here to make use of these instructions for the in-kernel
+ atomic routines. This incurs a small overhead on CPUs that do
+ not support these instructions and requires the kernel to be
