- arm64 perf: DDR PMU driver for Alibaba's T-Head Yitian 710 SoC, SVE vector granule register added to the user regs together with SVE perf extensions documentation. - SVE updates: add HWCAP for SVE EBF16, update the SVE ABI documentation to match the actual kernel behaviour (zeroing the registers on syscall rather than "zeroed or preserved" previously). - More conversions to automatic system registers generation. - vDSO: use self-synchronising virtual counter access in gettimeofday() if the architecture supports it. - arm64 stacktrace cleanups and improvements. - arm64 atomics improvements: always inline assembly, remove LL/SC trampolines. - Improve the reporting of EL1 exceptions: rework BTI and FPAC exception handling, better EL1 undefs reporting. - Cortex-A510 erratum 2658417: remove BF16 support due to incorrect result. - arm64 defconfig updates: build CoreSight as a module, enable options necessary for docker, memory hotplug/hotremove, enable all PMUs provided by Arm. - arm64 ptrace() support for TPIDR2_EL0 (register provided with the SME extensions). - arm64 ftraces updates/fixes: fix module PLTs with mcount, remove unused function. - kselftest updates for arm64: simple HWCAP validation, FP stress test improvements, validation of ZA regs in signal handlers, include larger SVE and SME vector lengths in signal tests, various cleanups. - arm64 alternatives (code patching) improvements to robustness and consistency: replace cpucap static branches with equivalent alternatives, associate callback alternatives with a cpucap. - Miscellaneous updates: optimise kprobe performance of patching single-step slots, simplify uaccess_mask_ptr(), move MTE registers initialisation to C, support huge vmalloc() mappings, run softirqs on the per-CPU IRQ stack, compat (arm32) misalignment fixups for multiword accesses. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEE5RElWfyWxS+3PLO2a9axLQDIXvEFAmM9W4cACgkQa9axLQDI XvEy3w/+LJ3KCFowWiz5gTAWikjv+UVssHjLMJixn47V7hsEFQ26Xnam/438rTMI kE95u6DHUpw2SMIxKzFRO7oI5cQtP+cWGwTtOUnjVO+U1oN+HqDOIbO9DbylWDcU eeeqMMmawMfTPuZrYklpOhXscsorbrKIvYBg7wHYOcwBYV3EPhWr89lwMvTVRuyJ qpX628KlkGMaBcONNhv3nS3qZcAOs0oHQCAVS4C8czLDL+vtJlumXUS3xr1Mqm72 xtFe7sje8Djr2kZ8mzh0GbFiZEBoBD3F/l7ayq8gVRaVpToUt8sk36Stjs4LojF1 6imuAfji/5TItkScq5KhGqj6MIugwp/eUVbRN74OLNTYx7msF1ZADNFQ+Q0UuY0H SYK13KvmOji0xjS8qAfhqrwNB79sk3fb+zF9LjETbdz4ZJCgg9gcFbSUTY0DvMfS MXZk/jVeB07olA8xYbjh0BRt4UV9xU628FPQzK5k7e4Nzl4jSvgtJZCZanfuVtjy /ZS1vbN8o7tQLBAlVnw+Exi/VedkKxkkMgm8tPKsMgERTFDx0Pc4Gs72hRpDnPWT MRbeCCGleAf3JQ5vF0coBDNOCEVvweQgShHOyHTz0GyhWXLCFx3RJICo5I4EIpps LLUk4JK0fO3LVrf1AEpu5ZP4+Sact0zfsH3gB7qyLPYFDmjDXD8= =jl3Z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas: -

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.
