    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
    
     - "genirq: Introduce generic irq migration for cpu hotunplugged" patch
       merged from tip/irq/for-arm to allow the arm64-specific part to be
       upstreamed via the arm64 tree
    
     - CPU feature detection reworked to cope with heterogeneous systems
       where CPUs may not have exactly the same features.  The features
       reported by the kernel via internal data structures or ELF_HWCAP are
       delayed until all the CPUs are up (and before user space starts)
    
     - Support for 16KB pages, with the additional bonus of a 36-bit VA
       space, though the latter only depending on EXPERT
    
     - Implement native {relaxed, acquire, release} atomics for arm64
    
     - New ASID allocation algorithm which avoids IPI on roll-over, together
       with TLB invalidation optimisations (using local vs global where
       feasible)
    
     - KASan support for arm64
    
     - EFI_STUB clean-up and isolation for the kernel proper (required by
       KASan)
    
     - copy_{to,from,in}_user optimisations (sharing the memcpy template)
    
     - perf: moving arm64 to the arm32/64 shared PMU framework
    
     - L1_CACHE_BYTES increased to 128 to accommodate Cavium hardware
    
     - Support for the contiguous PTE hint on kernel mapping (16 consecutive
       entries may be able to use a single TLB entry)
    
     - Generic CONFIG_HZ now used on arm64
    
     - defconfig updates
