* Major refactoring of the CPU capability detection logic resulting in
the removal of the cpus_have_const_cap() function and migrating the
code to "alternative" branches where possible
* Backtrace/kgdb: use IPIs and pseudo-NMI
* Perf and PMU:
- Add support for Ampere SoC PMUs
- Multi-DTC improvements for larger CMN configurations with multiple
Debug & Trace Controllers
- Rework the Arm CoreSight PMU driver to allow separate registration of
vendor backend modules
- Fixes: add missing MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE to the amlogic perf
driver; use device_get_match_data() in the xgene driver; fix NULL
pointer dereference in the hisi driver caused by calling
cpuhp_state_remove_instance(); use-after-free in the hisi driver
* HWCAP updates:
- FEAT_SVE_B16B16 (BFloat16)
- FEAT_LRCPC3 (release consistency model)
- FEAT_LSE128 (128-bit atomic instructions)
* SVE: remove a couple of pseudo registers from the cpufeature code.
There is logic in place already to detect mismatched SVE features
* Miscellaneous:
- Reduce the default swiotlb size (currently 64MB) if no ZONE_DMA
bouncing is needed. The buffer is still required for small kmalloc()
buffers
- Fix module PLT counting with !RANDOMIZE_BASE
- Restrict CPU_BIG_ENDIAN to LLVM IAS 15.x or newer move
synchronisation code out of the set_ptes() loop
- More compact cpufeature displaying enabled cores
- Kselftest updates for the new CPU features

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"No major architecture features this time around, just some new HWCAP
definitions, support for the Ampere SoC PMUs and a few fixes/cleanups.
The bulk of the changes is reworking of the CPU capability checking
code (cpus_have_cap() etc).

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.
