Linus Torvalds 6734e20e39 arm64 updates for 5.10
- Userspace support for the Memory Tagging Extension introduced by Armv8.5.
   Kernel support (via KASAN) is likely to follow in 5.11.
 
 - Selftests for MTE, Pointer Authentication and FPSIMD/SVE context
   switching.
 
 - Fix and subsequent rewrite of our Spectre mitigations, including the
   addition of support for PR_SPEC_DISABLE_NOEXEC.
 
 - Support for the Armv8.3 Pointer Authentication enhancements.
 
 - Support for ASID pinning, which is required when sharing page-tables with
   the SMMU.
 
 - MM updates, including treating flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault() as a no-op.
 
 - Perf/PMU driver updates, including addition of the ARM CMN PMU driver and
   also support to handle CPU PMU IRQs as NMIs.
 
 - Allow prefetchable PCI BARs to be exposed to userspace using normal
   non-cacheable mappings.
 
 - Implementation of ARCH_STACKWALK for unwinding.
 
 - Improve reporting of unexpected kernel traps due to BPF JIT failure.
 
 - Improve robustness of user-visible HWCAP strings and their corresponding
   numerical constants.
 
 - Removal of TEXT_OFFSET.
 
 - Removal of some unused functions, parameters and prototypes.
 
 - Removal of MPIDR-based topology detection in favour of firmware
   description.
 
 - Cleanups to handling of SVE and FPSIMD register state in preparation
   for potential future optimisation of handling across syscalls.
 
 - Cleanups to the SDEI driver in preparation for support in KVM.
 
 - Miscellaneous cleanups and refactoring work.

Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "There's quite a lot of code here, but much of it is due to the
  addition of a new PMU driver as well as some arm64-specific selftests
  which is an area where we've traditionally been lagging a bit.

  In terms of exciting features, this includes support for the Memory
  Tagging Extension which narrowly missed 5.9, hopefully allowing
  userspace to run with use-after-free detection in production on CPUs
  that support it. Work is ongoing to integrate the feature with KASAN
  for 5.11.

  Another change that I'm excited about (assuming they get the hardware
  right) is preparing the ASID allocator for sharing the CPU page-table
  with the SMMU. Those changes will also come in via Joerg with the
  IOMMU pull.

  We do stray outside of our usual directories in a few places, mostly
  due to core changes required by MTE. Although much of this has been
  Acked, there were a couple of places where we unfortunately didn't get
  any review feedback.

  Other than that, we ran into a handful of minor conflicts in -next,
  but nothing that should post any issues.

  Summary:

   - Userspace support for the Memory Tagging Extension introduced by
     Armv8.5. Kernel support (via KASAN) is likely to follow in 5.11.

   - Selftests for MTE, Pointer Authentication and FPSIMD/SVE context
     switching.

   - Fix and subsequent rewrite of our Spectre mitigations, including
     the addition of support for PR_SPEC_DISABLE_NOEXEC.

   - Support for the Armv8.3 Pointer Authentication enhancements.

   - Support for ASID pinning, which is required when sharing
     page-tables with the SMMU.

   - MM updates, including treating flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault() as a
     no-op.

   - Perf/PMU driver updates, including addition of the ARM CMN PMU
     driver and also support to handle CPU PMU IRQs as NMIs.

   - Allow prefetchable PCI BARs to be exposed to userspace using normal
     non-cacheable mappings.

   - Implementation of ARCH_STACKWALK for unwinding.

   - Improve reporting of unexpected kernel traps due to BPF JIT
     failure.

   - Improve robustness of user-visible HWCAP strings and their
     corresponding numerical constants.

     syscalls.
