Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas: - Support for 32-bit tasks on asymmetric AArch32 systems (on top of the scheduler changes merged via the tip tree). - More entry.S clean-ups and conversion to C. - MTE updates: allow a preferred tag checking mode to be set per CPU (the overhead of synchronous mode is smaller for some CPUs than others); optimisations for kernel entry/exit path; optionally disable MTE on the kernel command line. - Kselftest improvements for SVE and signal handling, PtrAuth. - Fix unlikely race where a TLBI could use stale ASID on an ASID roll-over (found by inspection). - Miscellaneous fixes: disable trapping of PMSNEVFR_EL1 to higher exception levels; drop unnecessary sigdelsetmask() call in the signal32 handling; remove BUG_ON when failing to allocate SVE state (just signal the process); SYM_CODE annotations. - Other trivial clean-ups: use macros instead of magic numbers, remove redundant returns, typos. * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (56 commits) arm64: Do not trap PMSNEVFR_EL1 arm64: mm: fix comment typo of pud_offset_phys() arm64: signal32: Drop pointless call to sigdelsetmask() arm64/sve: Better handle failure to allocate SVE register storage arm64: Document the requirement for SCR_EL3.HCE arm64: head: avoid over-mapping in map_memory arm64/sve: Add a comment documenting the binutils needed for SVE asm arm64/sve: Add some comments for sve_save/load_state() kselftest/arm64: signal: Add a TODO list for signal handling tests kselftest/arm64: signal: Add test case for SVE register state in signals kselftest/arm64: signal: Verify that signals can't change the SVE vector length kselftest/arm64: signal: Check SVE signal frame shows expected vector length kselftest/arm64: signal: Support signal frames with SVE register data kselftest/arm64: signal: Add SVE to the set of features we can check for arm64: replace in_irq() with in_hardirq() kselftest/arm64: pac: Fix skipping of tests on systems without PAC Documentation: arm64: describe asymmetric 32-bit support arm64: Remove logic to kill 32-bit tasks on 64-bit-only cores arm64: Hook up cmdline parameter to allow mismatched 32-bit EL0 arm64: Advertise CPUs capable of running 32-bit applications in sysfs ...
