    Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
     "A sizeable pile of arm64 updates for 5.8.
    
      Summary below, but the big two features are support for Branch Target
      Identification and Clang's Shadow Call stack. The latter is currently
      arm64-only, but the high-level parts are all in core code so it could
      easily be adopted by other architectures pending toolchain support
    
      Branch Target Identification (BTI):
    
       - Support for ARMv8.5-BTI in both user- and kernel-space. This allows
         branch targets to limit the types of branch from which they can be
         called and additionally prevents branching to arbitrary code,
         although kernel support requires a very recent toolchain.
    
       - Function annotation via SYM_FUNC_START() so that assembly functions
         are wrapped with the relevant "landing pad" instructions.
    
       - BPF and vDSO updates to use the new instructions.
    
       - Addition of a new HWCAP and exposure of BTI capability to userspace
         via ID register emulation, along with ELF loader support for the
         BTI feature in .note.gnu.property.
    
       - Non-critical fixes to CFI unwind annotations in the sigreturn
         trampoline.
    
      Shadow Call Stack (SCS):
    
       - Support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack feature, which reserves
         platform register x18 to point at a separate stack for each task
         that holds only return addresses. This protects function return
         control flow from buffer overruns on the main stack.
    
       - Save/restore of x18 across problematic boundaries (user-mode,
         hypervisor, EFI, suspend, etc).
    
       - Core support for SCS, should other architectures want to use it
         too.
    
       - SCS overflow checking on context-switch as part of the existing
         stack limit check if CONFIG_SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK=y.
    
      CPU feature detection:
    
       - Removed numerous "SANITY CHECK" errors when running on a system
         with mismatched AArch32 support at EL1. This is primarily a concern
         for KVM, which disabled support for 32-bit guests on such a system.
    
       - Addition of new ID registers and fields as the architecture has
         been extended.
    
      Perf and PMU drivers:
    
       - Minor fixes and cleanups to system PMU drivers.
    
      Hardware errata:
    
       - Unify KVM workarounds for VHE and nVHE configurations.
    
       - Sort vendor errata entries in Kconfig.
    
      Secure Monitor Call Calling Convention (SMCCC):
    
       - Update to the latest specification from Arm (v1.2).
    
       - Allow PSCI code to query the SMCCC version.
    
      Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI):
    
       - Unexport a bunch of unused symbols.
    
       - Minor fixes to handling of firmware data.
    
      Pointer authentication:
    
       - Add support for dumping the kernel PAC mask in vmcoreinfo so that
         the stack can be unwound by tools such as kdump.
    
       - Simplification of key initialisation during CPU bringup.
    
      BPF backend:
    
       - Improve immediate generation for logical and add/sub instructions.
    
      vDSO:
    
       - Minor fixes to the linker flags for consistency with other
         architectures and support for LLVM's unwinder.
    
       - Clean up logic to initialise and map the vDSO into userspace.
    
      ACPI:
    
       - Work around for an ambiguity in the IORT specification relating to
         the "num_ids" field.
    
       - Support _DMA method for all named components rather than only PCIe
         root complexes.
    
       - Minor other IORT-related fixes.
    
      Miscellaneous:
    
       - Initialise debug traps early for KGDB and fix KDB cacheflushing
         deadlock.
    
       - Minor tweaks to early boot state (documentation update, set
         TEXT_OFFSET to 0x0, increase alignment of PE/COFF sections).
    
       - Refactoring and cleanup"
