    Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
     "A bunch of good stuff in here. Worth noting is that we've pulled in
      the x86/mm branch from -tip so that we can make use of the core
      ioremap changes which allow us to put down huge mappings in the
      vmalloc area without screwing up the TLB. Much of the positive
      diffstat is because of the rseq selftest for arm64.
    
      Summary:
    
       - Wire up support for qspinlock, replacing our trusty ticket lock
         code
    
       - Add an IPI to flush_icache_range() to ensure that stale
         instructions fetched into the pipeline are discarded along with the
         I-cache lines
    
       - Support for the GCC "stackleak" plugin
    
       - Support for restartable sequences, plus an arm64 port for the
         selftest
    
       - Kexec/kdump support on systems booting with ACPI
    
       - Rewrite of our syscall entry code in C, which allows us to zero the
         GPRs on entry from userspace
    
       - Support for chained PMU counters...
