Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"There's a reasonable amount of stuff here, including a bunch of
updates to the perf PMU drivers and some MPAM updates to expose the
memory bandwidth counters via resctrl.
On the architecture side, some highlights include support for BBML3
and steps towards support for an architectural NMI solution, all
wrapped up in a web of fixes for latent issues identified by Sashiko.
ACPI:
- Combine reads of AMU counters into a single FFH feedback counter op
Confidential computing:
- Fix smp_processor_id() in preemptible context when retrieving an
attestation token inside a realm
- Convert pKVM over to a "CC platform"
- Clean-up our SWIOTLB configuration in preparation for reworking the
handling of encrypted/decryped DMA buffers in the dma-mapping tree
CPU errata handling:
- Work around broken device memory ordering on NVIDIA Olympus cores
- Fix broken 'nospectre_bhb' command-line option
- Select the idle loop backend instruction on the command-line
CPU features:
- Replace our BBML2-noabort feature with the new architectural BBML3
feature
- Disable in-kernel BTI for recent versions of Clang due to issues
with livepatch that are still being investigated
- Clean-up documentation describing which ID register fields are
exposed to userspace
Interrupts:
- Preliminary work towards supporting FEAT_NMI, which cleans up our
IRQ entry code and fixes some latent issues with pseudo-NMI
- Support for an SDEI backend to trigger an NMI backtrace
Memory management:
- Treat all devices as coherent when CLIDR_EL1.LoC == 0
- Fix no-map handling of sub-page-sized regions
- Second attempt at unmapping the linear aliases of the kernel data
and bss sections
- Fix EFI runtime calls when software-PAN is enabled
Miscellaneous:
- Add Mark Rutland as a reviewer!
- Tidy-up our futex cmpxchg logic when using the new LSUI
instructions
- Drop the requirement on DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS when
selecting HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS
- Fix a false-positive KCSCAN splat in the delay loop
- Use a portable typedef for 128-bit scalar types in our UAPI headers
- Non-critical fixes for Sashiko reports all over
MPAM:
- Hook MPAM memory bandwidth counters into resctrl's counter
assignment interface
- Fix a quirk in the MPAM bandwidth counting on Nvidia T241 so that
it also applies to 63 bit counters
Perf:
- Workarounds for hardware issues in the CMN-S3 PMU (Graviton 5) and
CPU PMU (NVIDIA Olympus again!)
- Add support for the DDR PMU on Marvell CN20K SoCs
- Add support for Picoheart implementations of the DCW PCIe PMU
- Add support for Channel/Rank/Bank filtering in the CXL PMU driver
- Add support for 64-bit counters in the CSPMU device
- Add support for revision 2 of the CMN S3 PMU
Ptrace:
- Fix a decade-old bug in our handling of seccomp and tracing on
syscall entry
- Fix regset handling for inactive SVE and SSVE registers
Selftests
- Add some tests for the decade-old bug that we just tried to fix in
our syscall entry path
- Fix SVE test crash on SME-only CPUs"
