Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon: "The changes are a real mixed bag this time around. The only scary looking one from the diffstat is the uapi change to asm-generic/mman-common.h, but this has been acked by Arnd and is actually just adding a pair of comments in an attempt to prevent allocation of some PROT values which tend to get used for arch-specific purposes. We'll be using them for Branch Target Identification (a CFI-like hardening feature), which is currently under review on the mailing list. New architecture features: - Support for Armv8.5 E0PD, which benefits KASLR in the same way as KPTI but without the overhead. This allows KPTI to be disabled on CPUs that are not affected by Meltdown, even is KASLR is enabled. - Initial support for the Armv8.5 RNG instructions, which claim to provide access to a high bandwidth, cryptographically secure hardware random number generator. As well as exposing these to userspace, we also use them as part of the KASLR seed and to seed the crng once all CPUs have come online. - Advertise a bunch of new instructions to userspace, including support for Data Gathering Hint, Matrix Multiply and 16-bit floating point. Kexec: - Cleanups in preparation for relocating with the MMU enabled - Support for loading crash dump kernels with kexec_file_load() Perf and PMU drivers: - Cleanups and non-critical fixes for a couple of system PMU drivers FPU-less (aka broken) CPU support: - Considerable fixes to support CPUs without the FP/SIMD extensions, including their presence in heterogeneous systems. Good luck finding a 64-bit userspace that handles this. Modern assembly function annotations: - Start migrating our use of ENTRY() and ENDPROC() over to the new-fangled SYM_{CODE,FUNC}_{START,END} macros, which are intended to aid debuggers Kbuild: - Cleanup detection of LSE support in the assembler by introducing 'as-instr' - Remove compressed Image files when building clean targets IP checksumming: - Implement optimised IPv4 checksumming routine when hardware offload is not in use. An IPv6 version is in the works, pending testing. Hardware errata: - Work around Cortex-A55 erratum #1530923 Shadow call stack: - Work around some issues with Clang's integrated assembler not liking our perfectly reasonable assembly code - Avoid allocating the X18 register, so that it can be used to hold the shadow call stack pointer in future ACPI: - Fix ID count checking in IORT code. This may regress broken firmware that happened to work with the old implementation, in which case we'll have to revert it and try something else - Fix DAIF corruption on return from GHES handler with pseudo-NMIs Miscellaneous: - Whitelist some CPUs that are unaffected by Spectre-v2 - Reduce frequency of ASID rollover when KPTI is compiled in but inactive - Reserve a couple of arch-specific PROT flags that are already used by Sparc and PowerPC and are planned for later use with BTI on arm64 - Preparatory cleanup of our entry assembly code in preparation for moving more of it into C later on - Refactoring and cleanup" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (73 commits) arm64: acpi: fix DAIF manipulation with pNMI arm64: kconfig: Fix alignment of E0PD help text arm64: Use v8.5-RNG entropy for KASLR seed arm64: Implement archrandom.h for ARMv8.5-RNG arm64: kbuild: remove compressed images on 'make ARCH=arm64 (dist)clean' arm64: entry: Avoid empty alternatives entries arm64: Kconfig: select HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG arm64: csum: Fix pathological zero-length calls arm64: entry: cleanup sp_el0 manipulation arm64: entry: cleanup el0 svc handler naming arm64: entry: mark all entry code as notrace arm64: assembler: remove smp_dmb macro arm64: assembler: remove inherit_daif macro ACPI/IORT: Fix 'Number of IDs' handling in iort_id_map() mm: Reserve asm-generic prot flags 0x10 and 0x20 for arch use arm64: Use macros instead of hard-coded constants for MAIR_EL1 arm64: Add KRYO{3,4}XX CPU cores to spectre-v2 safe list arm64: kernel: avoid x18 in __cpu_soft_restart arm64: kvm: stop treating register x18 as caller save arm64/lib: copy_page: avoid x18 register in assembler code ...
