Pull arm64 festive updates from Will Deacon: "In the end, we ended up with quite a lot more than I expected: - Support for ARMv8.3 Pointer Authentication in userspace (CRIU and kernel-side support to come later) - Support for per-thread stack canaries, pending an update to GCC that is currently undergoing review - Support for kexec_file_load(), which permits secure boot of a kexec payload but also happens to improve the performance of kexec dramatically because we can avoid the sucky purgatory code from userspace. Kdump will come later (requires updates to libfdt). - Optimisation of our dynamic CPU feature framework, so that all detected features are enabled via a single stop_machine() invocation - KPTI whitelisting of Cortex-A CPUs unaffected by Meltdown, so that they can benefit from global TLB entries when KASLR is not in use - 52-bit virtual addressing for userspace (kernel remains 48-bit) - Patch in LSE atomics for per-cpu atomic operations - Custom preempt.h implementation to avoid unconditional calls to preempt_schedule() from preempt_enable() - Support for the new 'SB' Speculation Barrier instruction - Vectorised implementation of XOR checksumming and CRC32 optimisations - Workaround for Cortex-A76 erratum #1165522 - Improved compatibility with Clang/LLD - Support for TX2 system PMUS for profiling the L3 cache and DMC - Reflect read-only permissions in the linear map by default - Ensure MMIO reads are ordered with subsequent calls to Xdelay() - Initial support for memory hotplug - Tweak the threshold when we invalidate the TLB by-ASID, so that mremap() performance is improved for ranges spanning multiple PMDs. - Minor refactoring and cleanups" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (125 commits) arm64: kaslr: print PHYS_OFFSET in dump_kernel_offset() arm64: sysreg: Use _BITUL() when defining register bits arm64: cpufeature: Rework ptr auth hwcaps using multi_entry_cap_matches arm64: cpufeature: Reduce number of pointer auth CPU caps from 6 to 4 arm64: docs: document pointer authentication arm64: ptr auth: Move per-thread keys from thread_info to thread_struct arm64: enable pointer authentication arm64: add prctl control for resetting ptrauth keys arm64: perf: strip PAC when unwinding userspace arm64: expose user PAC bit positions via ptrace arm64: add basic pointer authentication support arm64/cpufeature: detect pointer authentication arm64: Don't trap host pointer auth use to EL2 arm64/kvm: hide ptrauth from guests arm64/kvm: consistently handle host HCR_EL2 flags arm64: add pointer authentication register bits arm64: add comments about EC exception levels arm64: perf: Treat EXCLUDE_EL* bit definitions as unsigned arm64: kpti: Whitelist Cortex-A CPUs that don't implement the CSV3 field arm64: enable per-task stack canaries ...
