- On ARMv8 CPUs without hardware updates of the access flag, avoid
failing cow_user_page() on PFN mappings if the pte is old. The patches
introduce an arch_faults_on_old_pte() macro, defined as false on x86.
When true, cow_user_page() makes the pte young before attempting
__copy_from_user_inatomic().

- ZONE_DMA re-introduced on arm64 to support Raspberry Pi 4

update for these files (moved to the ARM64 PORT entry).
- Workaround for a Neoverse-N1 erratum where the CPU may fetch stale
instructions under certain conditions.
- Workaround for Cortex-A57 and A72 errata where the CPU may
speculatively execute an AT instruction and associate a VMID with the
wrong guest page tables (corrupting the TLB).
- Perf updates for arm64: additional PMU topologies on HiSilicon
platforms, support for CCN-512 interconnect, AXI ID filtering in the
IMX8 DDR PMU, support for the CCPI2 uncore PMU in ThunderX2.

ICC_PMR_EL1 register.
- ELF HWCAP documentation updates and clean-up.
- SMC calling convention conduit code clean-up.

- NVIDIA Carmel CPU added to the KPTI whitelist
- Some arm64 mm clean-ups: use generic free_initrd_mem(), remove stale
macro, simplify calculation in __create_pgd_mapping(), typos.

endinanness to help with allmodconfig.

Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"Apart from the arm64-specific bits (core arch and perf, new arm64
selftests), it touches the generic cow_user_page() (reviewed by
Kirill) together with a macro for x86 to preserve the existing
behaviour on this architecture.
Summary:
- On ARMv8 CPUs without hardware updates of the access flag, avoid
failing cow_user_page() on PFN mappings if the pte is old. The
patches introduce an arch_faults_on_old_pte() macro, defined as
false on x86. When true, cow_user_page() makes the pte young before
attempting __copy_from_user_inatomic().
- Covert the synchronous exception handling paths in
arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S to C.
- FTRACE_WITH_REGS support for arm64.
- ZONE_DMA re-introduced on arm64 to support Raspberry Pi 4
- Several kselftest cases specific to arm64, together with a
MAINTAINERS update for these files (moved to the ARM64 PORT entry).
- Workaround for a Neoverse-N1 erratum where the CPU may fetch stale
instructions under certain conditions.
