Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon: "Here's the usual mixed bag of arm64 updates, also including some related EFI changes (Acked by Matt) and the MMU gather range cleanup (Acked by you). Changes include: - support for alternative instruction patching from Andre - seccomp from Akashi - some AArch32 instruction emulation, required by the Android folks - optimisations for exception entry/exit code, cmpxchg, pcpu atomics - mmu_gather range calculations moved into core code - EFI updates from Ard, including long-awaited SMBIOS support - /proc/cpuinfo fixes to align with the format used by arch/arm/ - a few non-critical fixes across the architecture" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (70 commits) arm64: remove the unnecessary arm64_swiotlb_init() arm64: add module support for alternatives fixups arm64: perf: Prevent wraparound during overflow arm64/include/asm: Fixed a warning about 'struct pt_regs' arm64: Provide a namespace to NCAPS arm64: bpf: lift restriction on last instruction arm64: Implement support for read-mostly sections arm64: compat: align cacheflush syscall with arch/arm arm64: add seccomp support arm64: add SIGSYS siginfo for compat task arm64: add seccomp syscall for compat task asm-generic: add generic seccomp.h for secure computing mode 1 arm64: ptrace: allow tracer to skip a system call arm64: ptrace: add NT_ARM_SYSTEM_CALL regset arm64: Move some head.text functions to executable section arm64: jump labels: NOP out NOP -> NOP replacement arm64: add support to dump the kernel page tables arm64: Add FIX_HOLE to permanent fixed addresses arm64: alternatives: fix pr_fmt string for consistency arm64: vmlinux.lds.S: don't discard .exit.* sections at link-time ...
