    Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
    
     - arm64 perf: DDR PMU driver for Alibaba's T-Head Yitian 710 SoC, SVE
       vector granule register added to the user regs together with SVE perf
       extensions documentation.
    
     - SVE updates: add HWCAP for SVE EBF16, update the SVE ABI
       documentation to match the actual kernel behaviour (zeroing the
       registers on syscall rather than "zeroed or preserved" previously).
    
     - More conversions to automatic system registers generation.
    
     - vDSO: use self-synchronising virtual counter access in gettimeofday()
       if the architecture supports it.
    
     - arm64 stacktrace cleanups and improvements.
    
     - arm64 atomics improvements: always inline assembly, remove LL/SC
       trampolines.
    
     - Improve the reporting of EL1 exceptions: rework BTI and FPAC
       exception handling, better EL1 undefs reporting.
    
     - Cortex-A510 erratum 2658417: remove BF16 support due to incorrect
       result.
    
     - arm64 defconfig updates: build CoreSight as a module, enable options
       necessary for docker, memory hotplug/hotremove, enable all PMUs
       provided by Arm.
    
     - arm64 ptrace() support for TPIDR2_EL0 (register provided with the SME
       extensions).
    
     - arm64 ftraces updates/fixes: fix module PLTs with mcount, remove
       unused function.
    
     - kselftest updates for arm64: simple HWCAP validation, FP stress test
       improvements, validation of ZA regs in signal handlers, include
       larger SVE and SME vector lengths in signal tests, various cleanups.
    
     - arm64 alternatives (code patching) improvements to robustness and
       consistency: replace cpucap static branches with equivalent
       alternatives, associate callback alternatives with a cpucap.
    
     - Miscellaneous updates: optimise kprobe performance of patching
       single-step slots, simplify uaccess_mask_ptr(), move MTE registers
       initialisation to C, support huge vmalloc() mappings, run softirqs on
       the per-CPU IRQ stack, compat (arm32) misalignment fixups for
       multiword accesses.
