    Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
     "Apart from the core arm64 and perf changes, the Spectre v4 mitigation
      touches the arm KVM code and the ACPI PPTT support touches drivers/
      (acpi and cacheinfo). I should have the maintainers' acks in place.
    
      Summary:
    
       - Spectre v4 mitigation (Speculative Store Bypass Disable) support
         for arm64 using SMC firmware call to set a hardware chicken bit
    
       - ACPI PPTT (Processor Properties Topology Table) parsing support and
         enable the feature for arm64
    
       - Report signal frame size to user via auxv (AT_MINSIGSTKSZ). The
         primary motivation is Scalable Vector Extensions which requires
         more space on the signal frame than the currently defined
         MINSIGSTKSZ
    
       - ARM perf patches: allow building arm-cci as module, demote
         dev_warn() to dev_dbg() in arm-ccn event_init(), miscellaneous
         cleanups
    
       - cmpwait() WFE optimisation to avoid some spurious wakeups
    
       - L1_CACHE_BYTES reverted back to 64 (for performance reasons that
         have to do with some network allocations) while keeping
         ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to 128. cache_line_size() returns the actual
         hardware Cache Writeback Granule
    
       - Turn LSE atomics on by default in Kconfig
    
       - Kernel fault reporting tidying
    
       - Some #include and miscellaneous cleanups"
