Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"The most interesting parts are probably the mm changes from Ryan which
optimise the creation of the linear mapping at boot and (separately)
implement write-protect support for userfaultfd.
Outside of our usual directories, the Kbuild-related changes under
scripts/ have been acked by Masahiro whilst the drivers/acpi/ parts
have been acked by Rafael and the addition of cpumask_any_and_but()
has been acked by Yury.
ACPI:
- Support for the Firmware ACPI Control Structure (FACS) signature
feature which is used to reboot out of hibernation on some systems
Kbuild:
- Support for building Flat Image Tree (FIT) images, where the kernel
Image is compressed alongside a set of devicetree blobs
Memory management:
- Optimisation of our early page-table manipulation for creation of
the linear mapping
- Support for userfaultfd write protection, which brings along some
nice cleanups to our handling of invalid but present ptes
- Extend our use of range TLBI invalidation at EL1
Perf and PMUs:
- Ensure that the 'pmu->parent' pointer is correctly initialised by
PMU drivers
- Avoid allocating 'cpumask_t' types on the stack in some PMU drivers
- Fix parsing of the CPU PMU "version" field in assembly code, as it
doesn't follow the usual architectural rules
- Add best-effort unwinding support for USER_STACKTRACE
- Minor driver fixes and cleanups
Selftests:
- Minor cleanups to the arm64 selftests (missing NULL check, unused
variable)
Miscellaneous:
- Add a command-line alias for disabling 32-bit application support
- Add part number for Neoverse-V2 CPUs
- Minor fixes and cleanups"
