Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas: "These are the arm64 updates for 6.19. The biggest part is the Arm MPAM driver under drivers/resctrl/. There's a patch touching mm/ to handle spurious faults for huge pmd (similar to the pte version). The corresponding arm64 part allows us to avoid the TLB maintenance if a (huge) page is reused after a write fault. There's EFI refactoring to allow runtime services with preemption enabled and the rest is the usual perf/PMU updates and several cleanups/typos. Summary: Core features: - Basic Arm MPAM (Memory system resource Partitioning And Monitoring) driver under drivers/resctrl/ which makes use of the fs/rectrl/ API Perf and PMU: - Avoid cycle counter on multi-threaded CPUs - Extend CSPMU device probing and add additional filtering support for NVIDIA implementations - Add support for the PMUs on the NoC S3 interconnect - Add additional compatible strings for new Cortex and C1 CPUs - Add support for data source filtering to the SPE driver - Add support for i.MX8QM and "DB" PMU in the imx PMU driver Memory managemennt: - Avoid broadcast TLBI if page reused in write fault - Elide TLB invalidation if the old PTE was not valid - Drop redundant cpu_set_*_tcr_t0sz() macros - Propagate pgtable_alloc() errors outside of __create_pgd_mapping() - Propagate return value from __change_memory_common() ACPI and EFI: - Call EFI runtime services without disabling preemption - Remove unused ACPI function Miscellaneous: - ptrace support to disable streaming on SME-only systems - Improve sysreg generation to include a 'Prefix' descriptor - Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ - Align register dumps in the kselftest zt-test - Remove some no longer used macros/functions - Various spelling corrections" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (94 commits) arm64/mm: Document why linear map split failure upon vm_reset_perms is not problematic arm64/pageattr: Propagate return value from __change_memory_common arm64/sysreg: Remove unused define ARM64_FEATURE_FIELD_BITS KVM: arm64: selftests: Consider all 7 possible levels of cache KVM: arm64: selftests: Remove ARM64_FEATURE_FIELD_BITS and its last user arm64: atomics: lse: Remove unused parameters from ATOMIC_FETCH_OP_AND macros Documentation/arm64: Fix the typo of register names ACPI: GTDT: Get rid of acpi_arch_timer_mem_init() perf: arm_spe: Add support for filtering on data source perf: Add perf_event_attr::config4 perf/imx_ddr: Add support for PMU in DB (system interconnects) perf/imx_ddr: Get and enable optional clks perf/imx_ddr: Move ida_alloc() from ddr_perf_init() to ddr_perf_probe() dt-bindings: perf: fsl-imx-ddr: Add compatible string for i.MX8QM, i.MX8QXP and i.MX8DXL arm64: remove duplicate ARCH_HAS_MEM_ENCRYPT arm64: mm: use untagged address to calculate page index MAINTAINERS: new entry for MPAM Driver arm_mpam: Add kunit tests for props_mismatch() arm_mpam: Add kunit test for bitmap reset arm_mpam: Add helper to reset saved mbwu state ...
