Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"The bulk is in-kernel pointer authentication, activity monitors and
lots of asm symbol annotations. I also queued the sys_mremap() patch
commenting the asymmetry in the address untagging.
Summary:
- In-kernel Pointer Authentication support (previously only offered
to user space).
- ARM Activity Monitors (AMU) extension support allowing better CPU
utilisation numbers for the scheduler (frequency invariance).
- Memory hot-remove support for arm64.
- Lots of asm annotations (SYM_*) in preparation for the in-kernel
Branch Target Identification (BTI) support.
- arm64 perf updates: ARMv8.5-PMU 64-bit counters, refactoring the
PMU init callbacks, support for new DT compatibles.
- IPv6 header checksum optimisation.
- Fixes: SDEI (software delegated exception interface) double-lock on
hibernate with shared events.
- Minor clean-ups and refactoring: cpu_ops accessor,
cpu_do_switch_mm() converted to C, cpufeature finalisation helper.
- sys_mremap() comment explaining the asymmetric address untagging
behaviour"

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.
