    Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux · dfd437a2
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
    
     - arm64 support for syscall emulation via PTRACE_SYSEMU{,_SINGLESTEP}
    
     - Wire up VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS for arm64, allowing the core code to
       manage the permissions of executable vmalloc regions more strictly
    
     - Slight performance improvement by keeping softirqs enabled while
       touching the FPSIMD/SVE state (kernel_neon_begin/end)
    
     - Expose a couple of ARMv8.5 features to user (HWCAP): CondM (new
       XAFLAG and AXFLAG instructions for floating point comparison flags
       manipulation) and FRINT (rounding floating point numbers to integers)
    
     - Re-instate ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI support which was previously marked as
       BROKEN due to some bugs (now fixed)
    
     - Improve parking of stopped CPUs and implement an arm64-specific
       panic_smp_self_stop() to avoid warning on not being able to stop
       secondary CPUs during panic
    
     - perf: enable the ARM Statistical Profiling Extensions (SPE) on ACPI
       platforms
    
     - perf: DDR performance monitor support for iMX8QXP
    
     - cache_line_size() can now be set from DT or ACPI/PPTT if provided to
       cope with a system cache info not exposed via the CPUID registers
    
     - Avoid warning on hardware cache line size greater than
       ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN if the system is fully coherent
    
     - arm64 do_page_fault() and hugetlb cleanups
    
     - Refactor set_pte_at() to avoid redundant READ_ONCE(*ptep)
    
     - Ignore ACPI 5.1 FADTs reported as 5.0 (infer from the
       'arm_boot_flags' introduced in 5.1)
    
     - CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE now enabled in defconfig
    
     - Allow the selection of ARM64_MODULE_PLTS, currently only done via
       RANDOMIZE_BASE (and an erratum workaround), allowing modules to spill
       over into the vmalloc area
    
     - Make ZONE_DMA32 configurable
