Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"We've got a little less than normal thanks to the holidays in
December, but there's the usual summary below. The highlight is
probably the 52-bit physical addressing (LPA2) clean-up from Ard.
Confidential Computing:
- Register a platform device when running in CCA realm mode to enable
automatic loading of dependent modules
CPU Features:
- Update a bunch of system register definitions to pick up new field
encodings from the architectural documentation
- Add hwcaps and selftests for the new (2024) dpISA extensions
Documentation:
- Update EL3 (firmware) requirements for booting Linux on modern
arm64 designs
- Remove stale information about the kernel virtual memory map
Miscellaneous:
- Minor cleanups and typo fixes
Memory management:
- Fix vmemmap_check_pmd() to look at the PMD type bits
- LPA2 (52-bit physical addressing) cleanups and minor fixes
- Adjust physical address space depending upon whether or not LPA2 is
enabled
Perf and PMUs:
- Add port filtering support for NVIDIA's NVLINK-C2C Coresight PMU
- Extend AXI filtering support for the DDR PMU on NXP IMX SoCs
- Fix Designware PCIe PMU event numbering
- Add generic branch events for the Apple M1 CPU PMU
- Add support for Marvell Odyssey DDR and LLC-TAD PMUs
- Cleanups to the Hisilicon DDRC and Uncore PMU code
- Advertise discard mode for the SPE PMU
- Add the perf users mailing list to our MAINTAINERS entry"

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 reStructuredText 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.
