Merge tag 'arm64-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon: "Catalin's out enjoying the sunshine, so I'm sending the fixes for a couple of weeks (although there hopefully won't be any more!). We've got a revert of a previous fix because it broke the build with some distro toolchains and a preemption fix when detemining whether or not the SIMD unit is in use. Summary: - Revert back to the 'linux' target for LD, as 'elf' breaks some distributions - Fix preemption race when testing whether the vector unit is in use or not" * tag 'arm64-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: arm64: neon: Fix function may_use_simd() return error status Revert "arm64: Use aarch64elf and aarch64elfb emulation mode variants"
