The function acpi_gtdt_init() prints a message in case of
error. Remove the error message after testing if the function fails,
otherwise it is a duplicate message.

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"

Using an arch timer with a frequency of less than 1MHz can potentially
result in incorrect functionality in systems that assume a reasonable
rate of the arch timer of 1 to 50MHz, described as typical in the
architecture specification.

Therefore, warn if the arch timer rate is below 1MHz, which is
considered atypical and worth emphasizing.

The arm_arch_timer requires VDSO_CLOCKMODE_ARCHTIMER to be defined to
compile correctly. On ARM the vDSO can be disabled and when this is the
case the compilation ends prematurely with an error:

 $ make ARCH=arm multi_v7_defconfig
 $ ./scripts/config -d VDSO
 $ make

drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c:73:44: error:
‘VDSO_CLOCKMODE_ARCHTIMER’ undeclared here (not in a function)
  static enum vdso_clock_mode vdso_default = VDSO_CLOCKMODE_ARCHTIMER;

Make the usage of VDSO_CLOCKMODE_ARCHTIMER depend on the VDSO enablement
and initialize the vdso clockmode variable with VDSO_CLOCKMODE_NONE
otherwise.

Different mechanisms are used to test and set elf_hwcaps between ARM
and ARM64, this results in the use of ifdeferry in this file when
setting/testing for the EVTSTRM hwcap.

Let's improve readability by extracting this to an arch helper.

With v5.2-rc1, The ftrace functions_graph tracer locks up whenever it is
enabled on arm64.

Since commit 0ea415390cd3 ("clocksource/arm_arch_timer: Use
arch_timer_read_counter to access stable counters") a function pointer
is consistently used to read the counter instead of potentially
referencing an inlinable function.

The graph tracers relies on accessing the timer counters to compute the
time spent in functions which causes the lockup when attempting to trace
these code paths.

Annotate the arm arch timer counter accessors as notrace.
