Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon:
"A batch of arm64 fixes.
Although the diffstat is a bit larger than we'd usually have at this
stage, a decent amount of it is the addition of comments describing
our syscall tracing behaviour, and also a sweep across all the modular
arm64 PMU drivers to make them rebust against unloading and unbinding.
There are a couple of minor things kicking around at the moment (CPU
errata and module PLTs for very large modules), but I'm not expecting
any significant changes now for us in 5.8.
- Fix kernel text addresses for relocatable images booting using EFI
and with KASLR disabled so that they match the vmlinux ELF binary.
- Fix unloading and unbinding of PMU driver modules.
- Fix generic mmiowb() when writeX() is called from preemptible
context (reported by the riscv folks).
- Fix ptrace hardware single-step interactions with signal handlers,
system calls and reverse debugging.
- Fix reporting of 64-bit x0 register for 32-bit tasks via
'perf_regs'.
- Add comments describing syscall entry/exit tracing ABI"

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 Restructured Text 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.
