Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"The biggest changes are MPAM enablement in drivers/resctrl and new PMU
support under drivers/perf.
On the core side, FEAT_LSUI lets futex atomic operations with EL0
permissions, avoiding PAN toggling.
The rest is mostly TLB invalidation refactoring, further generic entry
work, sysreg updates and a few fixes.
Core features:
- Add support for FEAT_LSUI, allowing futex atomic operations without
toggling Privileged Access Never (PAN)
- Further refactor the arm64 exception handling code towards the
generic entry infrastructure
- Optimise __READ_ONCE() with CONFIG_LTO=y and allow alias analysis
through it
Memory management:
- Refactor the arm64 TLB invalidation API and implementation for
better control over barrier placement and level-hinted invalidation
- Enable batched TLB flushes during memory hot-unplug
- Fix rodata=full block mapping support for realm guests (when
BBML2_NOABORT is available)
Perf and PMU:
- Add support for a whole bunch of system PMUs featured in NVIDIA's
Tegra410 SoC (cspmu extensions for the fabric and PCIe, new drivers
for CPU/C2C memory latency PMUs)
- Clean up iomem resource handling in the Arm CMN driver
- Fix signedness handling of AA64DFR0.{PMUVer,PerfMon}
MPAM (Memory Partitioning And Monitoring):
- Add architecture context-switch and hiding of the feature from KVM
- Add interface to allow MPAM to be exposed to user-space using
resctrl
- Add errata workaround for some existing platforms
- Add documentation for using MPAM and what shape of platforms can
use resctrl
Miscellaneous:
- Check DAIF (and PMR, where relevant) at task-switch time
- Skip TFSR_EL1 checks and barriers in synchronous MTE tag check mode
(only relevant to asynchronous or asymmetric tag check modes)
- Remove a duplicate allocation in the kexec code
- Remove redundant save/restore of SCS SP on entry to/from EL0
- Generate the KERNEL_HWCAP_ definitions from the arm64 hwcap
descriptions
- Add kselftest coverage for cmpbr_sigill()
- Update sysreg definitions"
