Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
- kdump support, including two necessary memblock additions:
memblock_clear_nomap() and memblock_cap_memory_range()
- ARMv8.3 HWCAP bits for JavaScript conversion instructions, complex
numbers and weaker release consistency
- arm64 ACPI platform MSI support
- arm perf updates: ACPI PMU support, L3 cache PMU in some Qualcomm
SoCs, Cortex-A53 L2 cache events and DTLB refills, MAINTAINERS update
for DT perf bindings
- architected timer errata framework (the arch/arm64 changes only)
- support for DMA_ATTR_FORCE_CONTIGUOUS in the arm64 iommu DMA API
- arm64 KVM refactoring to use common system register definitions
- remove support for ASID-tagged VIVT I-cache (no ARMv8 implementation
using it and deprecated in the architecture) together with some
I-cache handling clean-up
- PE/COFF EFI header clean-up/hardening
- define BUG() instruction without CONFIG_BUG
