    Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux · b64bb1d7
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
     "Here's the usual mixed bag of arm64 updates, also including some
      related EFI changes (Acked by Matt) and the MMU gather range cleanup
      (Acked by you).
    
      Changes include:
       - support for alternative instruction patching from Andre
       - seccomp from Akashi
       - some AArch32 instruction emulation, required by the Android folks
       - optimisations for exception entry/exit code, cmpxchg, pcpu atomics
       - mmu_gather range calculations moved into core code
       - EFI updates from Ard, including long-awaited SMBIOS support
       - /proc/cpuinfo fixes to align with the format used by arch/arm/
       - a few non-critical fixes across the architecture"
