Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon: "It's a bit all over the place this time with no "killer feature" to speak of. Support for mismatched cache line sizes should help people seeing whacky JIT failures on some SoCs, and the big.LITTLE perf updates have been a long time coming, but a lot of the changes here are cleanups. We stray outside arch/arm64 in a few areas: the arch/arm/ arch_timer workaround is acked by Russell, the DT/OF bits are acked by Rob, the arch_timer clocksource changes acked by Marc, CPU hotplug by tglx and jump_label by Peter (all CC'd). Summary: - Support for execute-only page permissions - Support for hibernate and DEBUG_PAGEALLOC - Support for heterogeneous systems with mismatches cache line sizes - Errata workarounds (A53 843419 update and QorIQ A-008585 timer bug) - arm64 PMU perf updates, including cpumasks for heterogeneous systems - Set UTS_MACHINE for building rpm packages - Yet another head.S tidy-up - Some cleanups and refactoring, particularly in the NUMA code - Lots of random, non-critical fixes across the board" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (100 commits) arm64: tlbflush.h: add __tlbi() macro arm64: Kconfig: remove SMP dependence for NUMA arm64: Kconfig: select OF/ACPI_NUMA under NUMA config arm64: fix dump_backtrace/unwind_frame with NULL tsk arm/arm64: arch_timer: Use archdata to indicate vdso suitability arm64: arch_timer: Work around QorIQ Erratum A-008585 arm64: arch_timer: Add device tree binding for A-008585 erratum arm64: Correctly bounds check virt_addr_valid arm64: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h arm64: pmu: Hoist pmu platform device name arm64: pmu: Probe default hw/cache counters arm64: pmu: add fallback probe table MAINTAINERS: Update ARM PMU PROFILING AND DEBUGGING entry arm64: Improve kprobes test for atomic sequence arm64/kvm: use alternative auto-nop arm64: use alternative auto-nop arm64: alternative: add auto-nop infrastructure arm64: lse: convert lse alternatives NOP padding to use __nops arm64: barriers: introduce nops and __nops macros for NOP sequences arm64: sysreg: replace open-coded mrs_s/msr_s with {read,write}_sysreg_s ...
