    Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
    
     - VMAP_STACK support, allowing the kernel stacks to be allocated in the
       vmalloc space with a guard page for trapping stack overflows. One of
       the patches introduces THREAD_ALIGN and changes the generic
       alloc_thread_stack_node() to use this instead of THREAD_SIZE (no
       functional change for other architectures)
    
     - Contiguous PTE hugetlb support re-enabled (after being reverted a
       couple of times). We now have the semantics agreed in the generic mm
       layer together with API improvements so that the architecture code
       can detect between contiguous and non-contiguous huge PTEs
    
     - Initial support for persistent memory on ARM: DC CVAP instruction
       exposed to user space (HWCAP) and the in-kernel pmem API implemented
    
     - raid6 improvements for arm64: faster algorithm for the delta syndrome
       and implementation of the recovery routines using Neon
    
     - FP/SIMD refactoring and removal of support for Neon in interrupt
       context. This is in preparation for full SVE support
    
     - PTE accessors converted from inline asm to cmpxchg so that we can use
       LSE atomics if available (ARMv8.1)
    
     - Perf support for Cortex-A35 and A73
    
     - Non-urgent fixes and cleanups
