- Optimise SVE switching for CPUs with 128-bit implementations.
- Fix output format from SVE selftest.
- Add support for versions v1.2 and 1.3 of the SMC calling convention.
- Allow Pointer Authentication to be configured independently for
kernel and userspace.
- PMU driver cleanups for managing IRQ affinity and exposing event
attributes via sysfs.
- KASAN optimisations for both hardware tagging (MTE) and out-of-line
software tagging implementations.
- Relax frame record alignment requirements to facilitate 8-byte
alignment with KASAN and Clang.
- Cleanup of page-table definitions and removal of unused memory types.
- Reduction of ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN back to 64 bytes.
- Refactoring of our instruction decoding routines and addition of some
missing encodings.
- Move entry code moved into C and hardened against harmful compiler
instrumentation.
- Update booting requirements for the FEAT_HCX feature, added to v8.7
of the architecture.
- Fix resume from idle when pNMI is being used.
- Additional CPU sanity checks for MTE and preparatory changes for
systems where not all of the CPUs support 32-bit EL0.
- Update our kernel string routines to the latest Cortex Strings
implementation.
- Big cleanup of our cache maintenance routines, which were confusingly
named and inconsistent in their implementations.
- Tweak linker flags so that GDB can understand vmlinux when using RELR
relocations.
- Boot path cleanups to enable early initialisation of per-cpu
operations needed by KCSAN.
- Non-critical fixes and miscellaneous cleanup.

Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"There's a reasonable amount here and the juicy details are all below.
It's worth noting that the MTE/KASAN changes strayed outside of our
usual directories due to core mm changes and some associated changes
to some other architectures; Andrew asked for us to carry these [1]
rather that take them via the -mm tree.
Summary:

convention.

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.
