Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon: "Mostly just incremental improvements here: - Introduce AT_HWCAP2 for advertising CPU features to userspace - Expose SVE2 availability to userspace - Support for "data cache clean to point of deep persistence" (DC PODP) - Honour "mitigations=off" on the cmdline and advertise status via sysfs - CPU timer erratum workaround (Neoverse-N1 #1188873) - Introduce perf PMU driver for the SMMUv3 performance counters - Add config option to disable the kuser helpers page for AArch32 tasks - Futex modifications to ensure liveness under contention - Rework debug exception handling to seperate kernel and user handlers - Non-critical fixes and cleanup" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (92 commits) Documentation: Add ARM64 to kernel-parameters.rst arm64/speculation: Support 'mitigations=' cmdline option arm64: ssbs: Don't treat CPUs with SSBS as unaffected by SSB arm64: enable generic CPU vulnerabilites support arm64: add sysfs vulnerability show for speculative store bypass arm64: Fix size of __early_cpu_boot_status clocksource/arm_arch_timer: Use arch_timer_read_counter to access stable counters clocksource/arm_arch_timer: Remove use of workaround static key clocksource/arm_arch_timer: Drop use of static key in arch_timer_reg_read_stable clocksource/arm_arch_timer: Direcly assign set_next_event workaround arm64: Use arch_timer_read_counter instead of arch_counter_get_cntvct watchdog/sbsa: Use arch_timer_read_counter instead of arch_counter_get_cntvct ARM: vdso: Remove dependency with the arch_timer driver internals arm64: Apply ARM64_ERRATUM_1188873 to Neoverse-N1 arm64: Add part number for Neoverse N1 arm64: Make ARM64_ERRATUM_1188873 depend on COMPAT arm64: Restrict ARM64_ERRATUM_1188873 mitigation to AArch32 arm64: mm: Remove pte_unmap_nested() arm64: Fix compiler warning from pte_unmap() with -Wunused-but-set-variable arm64: compat: Reduce address limit for 64K pages ...
