Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "Apart from the arm64-specific bits (core arch and perf, new arm64
  selftests), it touches the generic cow_user_page() (reviewed by
  Kirill) together with a macro for x86 to preserve the existing
  behaviour on this architecture.

  Summary:

   - On ARMv8 CPUs without hardware updates of the access flag, avoid
     failing cow_user_page() on PFN mappings if the pte is old. The
     patches introduce an arch_faults_on_old_pte() macro, defined as
     false on x86. When true, cow_user_page() makes the pte young before
     attempting __copy_from_user_inatomic().

   - Covert the synchronous exception handling paths in
     arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S to C.

   - FTRACE_WITH_REGS support for arm64.

   - ZONE_DMA re-introduced on arm64 to support Raspberry Pi 4

   - Several kselftest cases specific to arm64, together with a
     MAINTAINERS update for these files (moved to the ARM64 PORT entry).

   - Workaround for a Neoverse-N1 erratum where the CPU may fetch stale
     instructions under certain conditions.

   - Workaround for Cortex-A57 and A72 errata where the CPU may
     speculatively execute an AT instruction and associate a VMID with
     the wrong guest page tables (corrupting the TLB).

   - Perf updates for arm64: additional PMU topologies on HiSilicon
     platforms, support for CCN-512 interconnect, AXI ID filtering in
     the IMX8 DDR PMU, support for the CCPI2 uncore PMU in ThunderX2.

   - GICv3 optimisation to avoid a heavy barrier when accessing the
     ICC_PMR_EL1 register.

   - ELF HWCAP documentation updates and clean-up.

   - SMC calling convention conduit code clean-up.

   - KASLR diagnostics printed during boot

   - NVIDIA Carmel CPU added to the KPTI whitelist

   - Some arm64 mm clean-ups: use generic free_initrd_mem(), remove
     stale macro, simplify calculation in __create_pgd_mapping(), typos.

   - Kconfig clean-ups: CMDLINE_FORCE to depend on CMDLINE, choice for
     endinanness to help with allmodconfig"

Commit "docs/arm64: cpu-feature-registers: Documents missing visible
fields" added bitfields following the convention [s, e]. However, the
documentation is following [s, e] and so does the Arm ARM.

Rewrite the bitfields to match the format [s, e].

The Broadcom Brahma-B53 core is susceptible to the issue described by
ARM64_ERRATUM_843419 so this commit enables the workaround to be applied
when executing on that core.

Since there are now multiple entries to match, we must convert the
existing ARM64_ERRATUM_843419 into an erratum list and use
cpucap_multi_entry_cap_matches to match our entries.

Similarly to erratum 1165522 that affects Cortex-A76, A57 and A72
respectively suffer from errata 1319537 and 1319367, potentially
resulting in TLB corruption if the CPU speculates an AT instruction
while switching guests.

The fix is slightly more involved since we don't have VHE to help us
here, but the idea is the same: when switching a guest in, we must
prevent any speculated AT from being able to parse the page tables
until S2 is up and running. Only at this stage can we allow AT to take
place.

For this, we always restore the guest sysregs first, except for its
SCTLR and TCR registers, which must be set with SCTLR.M=1 and
TCR.EPD{0,1} = {1, 1}, effectively disabling the PTW and TLB
allocation. Once S2 is setup, we restore the guest's SCTLR and
TCR. Similar things must be done on TLB invalidation...

Neoverse-N1 cores with the 'COHERENT_ICACHE' feature may fetch stale
instructions when software depends on prefetch-speculation-protection
instead of explicit synchronization. [0]

The workaround is to trap I-Cache maintenance and issue an
inner-shareable TLBI. The affected cores have a Coherent I-Cache, so the
I-Cache maintenance isn't necessary. The core tells user-space it can
skip it with CTR_EL0.DIC. We also have to trap this register to hide the
bit forcing DIC-aware user-space to perform the maintenance.

To avoid trapping all cache-maintenance, this workaround depends on
a firmware component that only traps I-cache maintenance from EL0 and
performs the workaround.

For user-space, the kernel's work is to trap CTR_EL0 to hide DIC, and
produce a fake IminLine. EL3 traps the now-necessary I-Cache maintenance
and performs the inner-shareable-TLBI that makes everything better.

Now that everything is in place, let's get the ball rolling
by allowing the corresponding config option to be selected.
Also add the required information to silicon_errata.rst.

Cores affected by Neoverse-N1 #1542419 could execute a stale instruction
when a branch is updated to point to freshly generated instructions.

To workaround this issue we need user-space to issue unnecessary
icache maintenance that we can trap. Start by hiding CTR_EL0.DIC.
