Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"Apart from some new arm64 features and clean-ups, this also contains
the core mmu_gather changes for tracking the levels of the page table
being cleared and a minor update to the generic
compat_sys_sigaltstack() introducing COMPAT_SIGMINSKSZ.
Summary:
- Core mmu_gather changes which allow tracking the levels of
page-table being cleared together with the arm64 low-level flushing
routines
- Support for the new ARMv8.5 PSTATE.SSBS bit which can be used to
mitigate Spectre-v4 dynamically without trapping to EL3 firmware
- Introduce COMPAT_SIGMINSTKSZ for use in compat_sys_sigaltstack
- Optimise emulation of MRS instructions to ID_* registers on ARMv8.4

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
