Pull ARM development updates from Russell King:

 - Make it clear __swp_entry_to_pte() uses PTE_TYPE_FAULT

 - Updates for setting vmalloc size via command line to resolve an issue
   with the 8MiB hole not properly being accounted for, and clean up the
   code.

 - ftrace support for module PLTs

 - Spelling fixes

 - kbuild updates for removing generated files and pattern rules for
   generating files

 - Clang/llvm updates

 - Change the way the kernel is mapped, placing it in vmalloc space
   instead.

 - Remove arm_pm_restart from arm and aarch64.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "There's a reasonable amount here and the juicy details are all below.

  It's worth noting that the MTE/KASAN changes strayed outside of our
  usual directories due to core mm changes and some associated changes
  to some other architectures; Andrew asked for us to carry these [1]
  rather that take them via the -mm tree.

  Summary:

   - Optimise SVE switching for CPUs with 128-bit implementations.

   - Fix output format from SVE selftest.

   - Add support for versions v1.2 and 1.3 of the SMC calling
     convention.

   - Allow Pointer Authentication to be configured independently for
     kernel and userspace.

   - PMU driver cleanups for managing IRQ affinity and exposing event
     attributes via sysfs.

   - KASAN optimisations for both hardware tagging (MTE) and out-of-line
     software tagging implementations.

   - Relax frame record alignment requirements to facilitate 8-byte
     alignment with KASAN and Clang.

   - Cleanup of page-table definitions and removal of unused memory
     types.

   - Reduction of ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN back to 64 bytes.

   - Refactoring of our instruction decoding routines and addition of
     some missing encodings.

   - Move entry code moved into C and hardened against harmful compiler
     instrumentation.

   - Update booting requirements for the FEAT_HCX feature, added to v8.7
     of the architecture.

   - Fix resume from idle when pNMI is being used.

   - Additional CPU sanity checks for MTE and preparatory changes for
     systems where not all of the CPUs support 32-bit EL0.

   - Update our kernel string routines to the latest Cortex Strings
     implementation.

   - Big cleanup of our cache maintenance routines, which were
     confusingly named and inconsistent in their implementations.

   - Tweak linker flags so that GDB can understand vmlinux when using
     RELR relocations.

   - Boot path cleanups to enable early initialisation of per-cpu
     operations needed by KCSAN.

   - Non-critical fixes and miscellaneous cleanup"

Now that we have helpers that are aware of the pseudo-NMI
feature, introduce them to cpu_do_idle(). This allows for
some nice cleanup.

No functional change intended.

All users of arm_pm_restart() have been converted to use the kernel
restart handler.

Scheduling a 32-bit application on a 64-bit-only CPU is a bad idea.

Ensure that 32-bit applications always take the slow-path when returning
to userspace on a system with mismatched support at EL0, so that we can
avoid trying to run on a 64-bit-only CPU and force a SIGKILL instead.

<title>arm64: idle: don't instrument idle code with KCOV</title>

The low-level idle code in arch_cpu_idle() and its callees runs at a
time where where portions of the kernel environment aren't available.
For example, RCU may not be watching, and lockdep state may be
out-of-sync with the hardware. Due to this, it is not sound to
instrument this code.

We generally avoid instrumentation by marking the entry functions as
`noinstr`, but currently this doesn't inhibit KCOV instrumentation.
Prevent this by factoring these functions into a new idle.c so that we
can disable KCOV for the entire compilation unit, as is done for the
core idle code in kernel/sched/idle.c.

We'd like to keep instrumentation of the rest of process.c, and for the
existing code in cpuidle.c, so a new compilation unit is preferable. The
arch_cpu_idle_dead() function in process.c is a cpu hotplug function
that is safe to instrument, so it is left as-is in process.c.
