Merge tag 'arm64-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon: "The diffstat is a bit spread out thanks to an invasive CPU erratum workaround which missed the merge window and also a bunch of fixes to the recently added MTE selftests. - Fixes to MTE kselftests - Fix return code from KVM Spectre-v2 hypercall - Build fixes for ld.lld and Clang's infamous integrated assembler - Ensure RCU is up and running before we use printk() - Workaround for Cortex-A77 erratum 1508412 - Fix linker warnings from unexpected ELF sections - Ensure PE/COFF sections are 64k aligned" * tag 'arm64-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: arm64: Change .weak to SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK_PI for arch/arm64/lib/mem*.S arm64/smp: Move rcu_cpu_starting() earlier arm64: Add workaround for Arm Cortex-A77 erratum 1508412 arm64: Add part number for Arm Cortex-A77 arm64: mte: Document that user PSTATE.TCO is ignored by kernel uaccess module: use hidden visibility for weak symbol references arm64: efi: increase EFI PE/COFF header padding to 64 KB arm64: vmlinux.lds: account for spurious empty .igot.plt sections kselftest/arm64: Fix check_user_mem test kselftest/arm64: Fix check_ksm_options test kselftest/arm64: Fix check_mmap_options test kselftest/arm64: Fix check_child_memory test kselftest/arm64: Fix check_tags_inclusion test kselftest/arm64: Fix check_buffer_fill test arm64: avoid -Woverride-init warning KVM: arm64: ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 doesn't return SMCCC_RET_NOT_REQUIRED arm64: vdso32: Allow ld.lld to properly link the VDSO
