Linus Torvalds 6fb44438a5 arm64 updates for 6.17:
Perf and PMU updates:
 
  - Add support for new (v3) Hisilicon SLLC and DDRC PMUs
 
  - Add support for Arm-NI PMU integrations that share interrupts between
    clock domains within a given instance
 
  - Allow SPE to be configured with a lower sample period than the
    minimum recommendation advertised by PMSIDR_EL1.Interval
 
  - Add suppport for Arm's "Branch Record Buffer Extension" (BRBE)
 
  - Adjust the perf watchdog period according to cpu frequency changes
 
  - Minor driver fixes and cleanups
 
 Hardware features:
 
  - Support for MTE store-only checking (FEAT_MTE_STORE_ONLY)
 
  - Support for reporting the non-address bits during a synchronous MTE
    tag check fault (FEAT_MTE_TAGGED_FAR)
 
  - Optimise the TLBI when folding/unfolding contiguous PTEs on hardware
    with FEAT_BBM (break-before-make) level 2 and no TLB conflict aborts
 
 Software features:
 
  - Enable HAVE_LIVEPATCH after implementing arch_stack_walk_reliable()
    and using the text-poke API for late module relocations
 
  - Force VMAP_STACK always on and change arm64_efi_rt_init() to use
    arch_alloc_vmap_stack() in order to avoid KASAN false positives
 
 ACPI:
 
  - Improve SPCR handling and messaging on systems lacking an SPCR table
 
 Debug:
 
  - Simplify the debug exception entry path
 
  - Drop redundant DBG_MDSCR_* macros
 
 Kselftests:
 
  - Cleanups and improvements for SME, SVE and FPSIMD tests
 
 Miscellaneous:
 
  - Optimise loop to reduce redundant operations in contpte_ptep_get()
 
  - Remove ISB when resetting POR_EL0 during signal handling
 
  - Mark the kernel as tainted on SEA and SError panic
 
  - Remove redundant gcs_free() call

Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "A quick summary: perf support for Branch Record Buffer Extensions
  (BRBE), typical PMU hardware updates, small additions to MTE for
  store-only tag checking and exposing non-address bits to signal
  handlers, HAVE_LIVEPATCH enabled on arm64, VMAP_STACK forced on.

  There is also a TLBI optimisation on hardware that does not require
  break-before-make when changing the user PTEs between contiguous and
  non-contiguous.
