Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "The highlights this time are support for dynamically enabling and
  disabling Clang's Shadow Call Stack at boot and a long-awaited
  optimisation to the way in which we handle the SVE register state on
  system call entry to avoid taking unnecessary traps from userspace.

  Summary:

  ACPI:
   - Enable FPDT support for boot-time profiling
   - Fix CPU PMU probing to work better with PREEMPT_RT
   - Update SMMUv3 MSI DeviceID parsing to latest IORT spec
   - APMT support for probing Arm CoreSight PMU devices

  CPU features:
   - Advertise new SVE instructions (v2.1)
   - Advertise range prefetch instruction
   - Advertise CSSC ("Common Short Sequence Compression") scalar
     instructions, adding things like min, max, abs, popcount
   - Enable DIT (Data Independent Timing) when running in the kernel
   - More conversion of system register fields over to the generated
     header

  CPU misfeatures:
   - Workaround for Cortex-A715 erratum #2645198

  Dynamic SCS:
   - Support for dynamic shadow call stacks to allow switching at
     runtime between Clang's SCS implementation and the CPU's pointer
     authentication feature when it is supported (complete with scary
     DWARF parser!)

  Tracing and debug:
   - Remove static ftrace in favour of, err, dynamic ftrace!
   - Seperate 'struct ftrace_regs' from 'struct pt_regs' in core ftrace
     and existing arch code
   - Introduce and implement FTRACE_WITH_ARGS on arm64 to replace the
     old FTRACE_WITH_REGS
   - Extend 'crashkernel=' parameter with default value and fallback to
     placement above 4G physical if initial (low) allocation fails

  SVE:
   - Optimisation to avoid disabling SVE unconditionally on syscall
     entry and just zeroing the non-shared state on return instead

  Exceptions:
   - Rework of undefined instruction handling to avoid serialisation on
     global lock (this includes emulation of user accesses to the ID
     registers)

  Perf and PMU:
   - Support for TLP filters in Hisilicon's PCIe PMU device
   - Support for the DDR PMU present in Amlogic Meson G12 SoCs
   - Support for the terribly-named "CoreSight PMU" architecture from
     Arm (and Nvidia's implementation of said architecture)

  Misc:
   - Tighten up our boot protocol for systems with memory above 52 bits
     physical
   - Const-ify static keys to satisty jump label asm constraints
   - Trivial FFA driver cleanups in preparation for v1.1 support
   - Export the kernel_neon_* APIs as GPL symbols
   - Harden our instruction generation routines against instrumentation
   - A bunch of robustness improvements to our arch-specific selftests
   - Minor cleanups and fixes all over (kbuild, kprobes, kfence, PMU, ...)"
