[ Upstream commit 9b23d95c539ebc5d6d6b5d6f20d2d7922384e76e ]

KRYO4XX silver/LITTLE CPU cores with revision r1p0 are affected by
erratum 1530923 and 1024718, so add them to the respective list.
The variant and revision bits are implementation defined and are
different from the their Cortex CPU counterparts on which they are
based on, i.e., r1p0 is equivalent to rdpe.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "The bulk is in-kernel pointer authentication, activity monitors and
  lots of asm symbol annotations. I also queued the sys_mremap() patch
  commenting the asymmetry in the address untagging.

  Summary:

   - In-kernel Pointer Authentication support (previously only offered
     to user space).

   - ARM Activity Monitors (AMU) extension support allowing better CPU
     utilisation numbers for the scheduler (frequency invariance).

   - Memory hot-remove support for arm64.

   - Lots of asm annotations (SYM_*) in preparation for the in-kernel
     Branch Target Identification (BTI) support.

   - arm64 perf updates: ARMv8.5-PMU 64-bit counters, refactoring the
     PMU init callbacks, support for new DT compatibles.

   - IPv6 header checksum optimisation.

   - Fixes: SDEI (software delegated exception interface) double-lock on
     hibernate with shared events.

   - Minor clean-ups and refactoring: cpu_ops accessor,
     cpu_do_switch_mm() converted to C, cpufeature finalisation helper.

   - sys_mremap() comment explaining the asymmetric address untagging
     behaviour"

when reading the GICv4.1 GICD_TYPER2 register, which is unexpected...

Work around it by adding a new quirk for the following variants:

 ThunderX: CN88xx
 OCTEON TX: CN83xx, CN81xx
 OCTEON TX2: CN93xx, CN96xx, CN98xx, CNF95xx*

and use this flag to avoid accessing GICD_TYPER2. Note that all
reserved registers (including redistributors and ITS) are impacted
by this erratum, but that only GICD_TYPER2 has to be worked around
so far.

when reading the GICv4.1 GICD_TYPER2 register, which is unexpected...

Work around it by adding a new quirk for the following variants:

 ThunderX: CN88xx
 OCTEON TX: CN83xx, CN81xx
 OCTEON TX2: CN93xx, CN96xx, CN98xx, CNF95xx*

and use this flag to avoid accessing GICD_TYPER2. Note that all
reserved registers (including redistributors and ITS) are impacted
by this erratum, but that only GICD_TYPER2 has to be worked around
so far.

The activity monitors extension is an optional extension introduced
by the ARMv8.4 CPU architecture.

Add initial documentation for the AMUv1 extension:
 - arm64/amu.txt: AMUv1 documentation
 - arm64/booting.txt: system registers initialisation

<title>mm: Avoid creating virtual address aliases in brk()/mmap()/mremap()</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently the arm64 kernel ignores the top address byte passed to brk(),
mmap() and mremap(). When the user is not aware of the 56-bit address
limit or relies on the kernel to return an error, untagging such
pointers has the potential to create address aliases in user-space.
Passing a tagged address to munmap(), madvise() is permitted since the
tagged pointer is expected to be inside an existing mapping.

The current behaviour breaks the existing glibc malloc() implementation
which relies on brk() with an address beyond 56-bit to be rejected by
the kernel.

Remove untagging in the above functions by partially reverting commit
ce18d171cb73 ("mm: untag user pointers in mmap/munmap/mremap/brk"). In
addition, update the arm64 tagged-address-abi.rst document accordingly.
