Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - KCSAN enabled for arm64.

 - Additional kselftests to exercise the syscall ABI w.r.t. SVE/FPSIMD.

 - Some more SVE clean-ups and refactoring in preparation for SME
   support (scalable matrix extensions).

 - BTI clean-ups (SYM_FUNC macros etc.)

 - arm64 atomics clean-up and codegen improvements.

 - HWCAPs for FEAT_AFP (alternate floating point behaviour) and
   FEAT_RPRESS (increased precision of reciprocal estimate and
   reciprocal square root estimate).

 - Use SHA3 instructions to speed-up XOR.

 - arm64 unwind code refactoring/unification.

 - Avoid DC (data cache maintenance) instructions when DCZID_EL0.DZP ==
   1 (potentially set by a hypervisor; user-space already does this).

 - Perf updates for arm64: support for CI-700, HiSilicon PCIe PMU,
   Marvell CN10K LLC-TAD PMU, miscellaneous clean-ups.

 - Other fixes and clean-ups; highlights: fix the handling of erratum
   1418040, correct the calculation of the nomap region boundaries,
   introduce io_stop_wc() mapped to the new DGH instruction (data
   gathering hint).
