Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
- Initial support for the ARMv9 Scalable Matrix Extension (SME).
SME takes the approach used for vectors in SVE and extends this to
provide architectural support for matrix operations. No KVM support
yet, SME is disabled in guests.
- Support for crashkernel reservations above ZONE_DMA via the
'crashkernel=X,high' command line option.
- btrfs search_ioctl() fix for live-lock with sub-page faults.
- arm64 perf updates: support for the Hisilicon "CPA" PMU for
monitoring coherent I/O traffic, support for Arm's CMN-650 and
CMN-700 interconnect PMUs, minor driver fixes, kerneldoc cleanup.
- Kselftest updates for SME, BTI, MTE.
- Automatic generation of the system register macros from a 'sysreg'
file describing the register bitfields.
- Update the type of the function argument holding the ESR_ELx register
value to unsigned long to match the architecture register size
(originally 32-bit but extended since ARMv8.0).
- stacktrace cleanups.
- ftrace cleanups.
- Miscellaneous updates, most notably: arm64-specific huge_ptep_get(),
avoid executable mappings in kexec/hibernate code, drop TLB flushing
from get_clear_flush() (and rename it to get_clear_contig()),
ARCH_NR_GPIO bumped to 2048 for ARCH_APPLE.
