Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"The highlights this time are support for dynamically enabling and
disabling Clang's Shadow Call Stack at boot and a long-awaited
optimisation to the way in which we handle the SVE register state on
system call entry to avoid taking unnecessary traps from userspace.
Summary:
ACPI:
- Enable FPDT support for boot-time profiling
- Fix CPU PMU probing to work better with PREEMPT_RT
- Update SMMUv3 MSI DeviceID parsing to latest IORT spec
- APMT support for probing Arm CoreSight PMU devices
CPU features:
- Advertise new SVE instructions (v2.1)
- Advertise range prefetch instruction
- Advertise CSSC ("Common Short Sequence Compression") scalar
instructions, adding things like min, max, abs, popcount
- Enable DIT (Data Independent Timing) when running in the kernel
- More conversion of system register fields over to the generated
header
CPU misfeatures:
- Workaround for Cortex-A715 erratum #2645198
Dynamic SCS:
- Support for dynamic shadow call stacks to allow switching at
runtime between Clang's SCS implementation and the CPU's pointer
authentication feature when it is supported (complete with scary
DWARF parser!)
Tracing and debug:
- Remove static ftrace in favour of, err, dynamic ftrace!
- Seperate 'struct ftrace_regs' from 'struct pt_regs' in core ftrace
and existing arch code
- Introduce and implement FTRACE_WITH_ARGS on arm64 to replace the
old FTRACE_WITH_REGS
- Extend 'crashkernel=' parameter with default value and fallback to
placement above 4G physical if initial (low) allocation fails
SVE:
- Optimisation to avoid disabling SVE unconditionally on syscall
entry and just zeroing the non-shared state on return instead
Exceptions:
- Rework of undefined instruction handling to avoid serialisation on
global lock (this includes emulation of user accesses to the ID
registers)
Perf and PMU:
- Support for TLP filters in Hisilicon's PCIe PMU device
- Support for the DDR PMU present in Amlogic Meson G12 SoCs
- Support for the terribly-named "CoreSight PMU" architecture from
Arm (and Nvidia's implementation of said architecture)
Misc:
- Tighten up our boot protocol for systems with memory above 52 bits
physical
- Const-ify static keys to satisty jump label asm constraints
- Trivial FFA driver cleanups in preparation for v1.1 support
- Export the kernel_neon_* APIs as GPL symbols
- Harden our instruction generation routines against instrumentation
- A bunch of robustness improvements to our arch-specific selftests
- Minor cleanups and fixes all over (kbuild, kprobes, kfence, PMU, ...)"
