Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon: "Although there isn't tonnes of code in terms of line count, there are a fair few headline features which I've noted both in the tag and also in the merge commits when I pulled everything together. The part I'm most pleased with is that we had 35 contributors this time around, which feels like a big jump from the usual small group of core arm64 arch developers. Hopefully they all enjoyed it so much that they'll continue to contribute, but we'll see. It's probably worth highlighting that we've pulled in a branch from the risc-v folks which moves our CPU topology code out to where it can be shared with others. Summary: - 52-bit virtual addressing in the kernel - New ABI to allow tagged user pointers to be dereferenced by syscalls - Early RNG seeding by the bootloader - Improve robustness of SMP boot - Fix TLB invalidation in light of recent architectural clarifications - Support for i.MX8 DDR PMU - Remove direct LSE instruction patching in favour of static keys - Function error injection using kprobes - Support for the PPTT "thread" flag introduced by ACPI 6.3 - Move PSCI idle code into proper cpuidle driver - Relaxation of implicit I/O memory barriers - Build with RELR relocations when toolchain supports them - Numerous cleanups and non-critical fixes" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (114 commits) arm64: remove __iounmap arm64: atomics: Use K constraint when toolchain appears to support it arm64: atomics: Undefine internal macros after use arm64: lse: Make ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS depend on JUMP_LABEL arm64: asm: Kill 'asm/atomic_arch.h' arm64: lse: Remove unused 'alt_lse' assembly macro arm64: atomics: Remove atomic_ll_sc compilation unit arm64: avoid using hard-coded registers for LSE atomics arm64: atomics: avoid out-of-line ll/sc atomics arm64: Use correct ll/sc atomic constraints jump_label: Don't warn on __exit jump entries docs/perf: Add documentation for the i.MX8 DDR PMU perf/imx_ddr: Add support for AXI ID filtering arm64: kpti: ensure patched kernel text is fetched from PoU arm64: fix fixmap copy for 16K pages and 48-bit VA perf/smmuv3: Validate groups for global filtering perf/smmuv3: Validate group size arm64: Relax Documentation/arm64/tagged-pointers.rst arm64: kvm: Replace hardcoded '1' with SYS_PAR_EL1_F arm64: mm: Ignore spurious translation faults taken from the kernel ...
