- Improve performance of Spectre-v2 mitigation on Falkor CPUs (if you're lucky
enough to have one)
- Select HAVE_MOVE_PMD. This has been shown to improve mremap() performance,
which is used heavily by the Android runtime GC, and it seems we forgot to
enable this upstream back in 2018.
- Ensure linker flags are consistent between LLVM and BFD
- Fix stale comment in Spectre mitigation rework
- Fix broken copyright header
- Fix KASLR randomisation of the linear map
- Prevent arm64-specific prctl()s from compat tasks (return -EINVAL)

Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull more arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"A small selection of further arm64 fixes and updates. Most of these
are fixes that came in during the merge window, with the exception of
the HAVE_MOVE_PMD mremap() speed-up which we discussed back in 2018
and somehow forgot to enable upstream.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
