Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull more arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "As I mentioned in the last pull request, there's a second batch of
  security updates for arm64 with mitigations for Spectre/v1 and an
  improved one for Spectre/v2 (via a newly defined firmware interface
  API).

  Spectre v1 mitigation:

   - back-end version of array_index_mask_nospec()

   - masking of the syscall number to restrict speculation through the
     syscall table

   - masking of __user pointers prior to deference in uaccess routines

  Spectre v2 mitigation update:

   - using the new firmware SMC calling convention specification update

   - removing the current PSCI GET_VERSION firmware call mitigation as
     vendors are deploying new SMCCC-capable firmware

   - additional branch predictor hardening for synchronous exceptions
     and interrupts while in user mode

  Meltdown v3 mitigation update:

    - Cavium Thunder X is unaffected but a hardware erratum gets in the
      way. The kernel now starts with the page tables mapped as global
      and switches to non-global if kpti needs to be enabled.

  Other:

   - Theoretical trylock bug fixed"
