Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
- Pseudo NMI support for arm64 using GICv3 interrupt priorities
- uaccess macros clean-up (unsafe user accessors also merged but
reverted, waiting for objtool support on arm64)
- ptrace regsets for Pointer Authentication (ARMv8.3) key management
- inX() ordering w.r.t. delay() on arm64 and riscv (acks in place by
the riscv maintainers)
- arm64/perf updates: PMU bindings converted to json-schema, unused
variable and misleading comment removed
- arm64/debug fixes to ensure checking of the triggering exception
level and to avoid the propagation of the UNKNOWN FAR value into the
si_code for debug signals
- Workaround for Fujitsu A64FX erratum 010001
- lib/raid6 ARM NEON optimisations
- NR_CPUS now defaults to 256 on arm64
- Minor clean-ups (documentation/comments, Kconfig warning, unused
asm-offsets, clang warnings)
- MAINTAINERS update for list information to the ARM64 ACPI entry
