Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon: "There's a little less than normal, probably due to LPC & Christmas/New Year meaning that a few series weren't quite ready or reviewed in time. It's still useful across the board, despite the only real feature being support for the LS64 feature enabling 64-byte atomic accesses to endpoints that support it. ACPI: - Add interrupt signalling support to the AGDI handler - Add Catalin and myself to the arm64 ACPI MAINTAINERS entry CPU features: - Drop Kconfig options for PAN and LSE (these are detected at runtime) - Add support for 64-byte single-copy atomic instructions (LS64/LS64V) - Reduce MTE overhead when executing in the kernel on Ampere CPUs - Ensure POR_EL0 value exposed via ptrace is up-to-date - Fix error handling on GCS allocation failure CPU frequency: - Add CPU hotplug support to the FIE setup in the AMU driver Entry code: - Minor optimisations and cleanups to the syscall entry path - Preparatory rework for moving to the generic syscall entry code Hardware errata: - Work around Spectre-BHB on TSV110 processors - Work around broken CMO propagation on some systems with the SI-L1 interconnect Miscellaneous: - Disable branch profiling for arch/arm64/ to avoid issues with noinstr - Minor fixes and cleanups (kexec + ubsan, WARN_ONCE() instead of WARN_ON(), reduction of boolean expression) - Fix custom __READ_ONCE() implementation for LTO builds when operating on non-atomic types Perf and PMUs: - Support for CMN-600AE - Be stricter about supported hardware in the CMN driver - Support for DSU-110 and DSU-120 - Support for the cycles event in the DSU driver (alongside the dedicated cycles counter) - Use IRQF_NO_THREAD instead of IRQF_ONESHOT in the cxlpmu driver - Use !bitmap_empty() as a faster alternative to bitmap_weight() - Fix SPE error handling when failing to resume profiling Selftests: - Add support for the FORCE_TARGETS option to the arm64 kselftests - Avoid nolibc-specific my_syscall() function - Add basic test for the LS64 HWCAP - Extend fp-pidbench to cover additional workload patterns" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (43 commits) perf/arm-cmn: Reject unsupported hardware configurations perf: arm_spe: Properly set hw.state on failures arm64/gcs: Fix error handling in arch_set_shadow_stack_status() arm64: Fix non-atomic __READ_ONCE() with CONFIG_LTO=y arm64: poe: fix stale POR_EL0 values for ptrace kselftest/arm64: Raise default number of loops in fp-pidbench kselftest/arm64: Add a no-SVE loop after SVE in fp-pidbench perf/cxlpmu: Replace IRQF_ONESHOT with IRQF_NO_THREAD arm64: mte: Set TCMA1 whenever MTE is present in the kernel arm64/ptrace: Return early for ptrace_report_syscall_entry() error arm64/ptrace: Split report_syscall() arm64: Remove unused _TIF_WORK_MASK kselftest/arm64: Add missing file in .gitignore arm64: errata: Workaround for SI L1 downstream coherency issue kselftest/arm64: Add HWCAP test for FEAT_LS64 arm64: Add support for FEAT_{LS64, LS64_V} KVM: arm64: Enable FEAT_{LS64, LS64_V} in the supported guest arm64: Provide basic EL2 setup for FEAT_{LS64, LS64_V} usage at EL0/1 KVM: arm64: Handle DABT caused by LS64* instructions on unsupported memory KVM: arm64: Add documentation for KVM_EXIT_ARM_LDST64B ...
