Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "These were the main changes in this cycle:

   - More -rt motivated separation of CONFIG_PREEMPT and
     CONFIG_PREEMPTION.

   - Add more low level scheduling topology sanity checks and warnings
     to filter out nonsensical topologies that break scheduling.

   - Extend uclamp constraints to influence wakeup CPU placement

   - Make the RT scheduler more aware of asymmetric topologies and CPU
     capacities, via uclamp metrics, if CONFIG_UCLAMP_TASK=y

   - Make idle CPU selection more consistent

<title>arm64: asm: Add new-style position independent function annotations</title>

<id>35e61c77ef386555f3df1bc2057098c6997ca10b</id>
<content type='text'>
As part of an effort to make the annotations in assembly code clearer and
more consistent new macros have been introduced, including replacements
for ENTRY() and ENDPROC().

On arm64 we have ENDPIPROC(), a custom version of ENDPROC() which is
used for code that will need to run in position independent environments
like EFI, it creates an alias for the function with the prefix __pi_ and
then emits the standard ENDPROC. Add new-style macros to replace this
which expand to the standard SYM_FUNC_*() and SYM_FUNC_ALIAS_*(),
resulting in the same object code. These are added in linkage.h for
consistency with where the generic assembler code has its macros.

[will: Rename 'WEAK' macro, use ';' instead of ASM_NL, deprecate ENDPIPROC]

CONFIG_PREEMPTION is selected by CONFIG_PREEMPT and by CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT.
Both PREEMPT and PREEMPT_RT require the same functionality which today
depends on CONFIG_PREEMPT.

Switch the Kconfig dependency, entry code and preemption handling over
to use CONFIG_PREEMPTION. Add PREEMPT_RT output in show_stack().

<content type='text'>
Most of the machinery is now in place to enable 52-bit kernel VAs that
are detectable at boot time.

This patch adds a Kconfig option for 52-bit user and kernel addresses
and plumbs in the requisite CONFIG_ macros as well as sets TCR.T1SZ,
physvirt_offset and vmemmap at early boot.

To simplify things this patch also removes the 52-bit user/48-bit kernel
kconfig option.

<title>arm64: mm: Logic to make offset_ttbr1 conditional</title>

<id>c812026c54cfaec23fa1d78cdbfd0e56e787470a</id>
<content type='text'>
When running with a 52-bit userspace VA and a 48-bit kernel VA we offset
ttbr1_el1 to allow the kernel pagetables with a 52-bit PTRS_PER_PGD to
be used for both userspace and kernel.

Moving on to a 52-bit kernel VA we no longer require this offset to
ttbr1_el1 should we be running on a system with HW support for 52-bit
VAs.

This patch introduces conditional logic to offset_ttbr1 to query
SYS_ID_AA64MMFR2_EL1 whenever 52-bit VAs are selected. If there is HW
support for 52-bit VAs then the ttbr1 offset is skipped.

We choose to read a system register rather than vabits_actual because
offset_ttbr1 can be called in places where the kernel data is not
actually mapped.

Calls to offset_ttbr1 appear to be made from rarely called code paths so
this extra logic is not expected to adversely affect performance.
