Pull ARM devicetree updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "After a somewhat quiet 5.17 release, the size of the DT changes is a
  bit larger again. There are nine new SoC that get added, all of them
  related to existing platforms:

   - Airoha (formerly Mediatek/EcoNet) EN7523 networking SoC and EVB

   - Mediatek mt6582 tablet platform with the Prestigio PMT5008 3G
     tablet

   - Microchip Lan966 networking SoC and it evaluation board

   - Qualcomm Snapdragon 625/632 midrange phone SoCs, with the LG Nexus
     5X and Fairphone FP3 phones

   - Renesas RZ/G2LC and RZ/V2L general-purpose embedded SoCs, along
     with their evaluation boards

   - Samsung Exynos 850 phone SoC and reference board

   - Samsung Exynos7885 with the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) phone

   - Tesla FSD (Fully Self-Driving), an automotive SoC loosely derived
     from the Samsung Exynos family.

   - TI K3/AM62 SoC and reference board

  Support for additional functionality in existing dts files is added
  all over the place: Samsung, Renesas, Mstar, wpcm450, OMAP, AT91,
  Allwinner, i.MX, Tegra, Aspeed, Oxnas, Qualcomm, Mediatek, and
  Broadcom.

  Samsung has a rework for its pinctrl schema that is a bit tricky and
  requires driver changes to be included here.

  A few more platforms only have smaller cleanups and DT Schema fixes,
  this includes SoCFPGA, ux500, ixp4xx, STi, Xilinx Zynq, LG, and Juno.

  The new machines are really too many to list, but I'll do it anyway:

  Allwinner:
   - A20-Marsboard development board

  Amlogic:
   - Amediatek X96-AIR (Amlogic S905X3)
   - CYX A95XF3-AIR (Amlogic S905X3)
   - Haochuangy H96-Max (Amlogic S905X3)
   - Amlogic AQ222 (Amlogic S4)
   - OSMC Vero 4K+ (Amlogic S905D)

  Arm Juno:
   - Separate DT depending on SCMI firmware version

  Aspeed:
   - Quanta S6Q BMC (AST2600)
   - ASRock ROMED8HM3 (AST2500)

  Broadcom:
   - Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W

  Marvell MVEBU/Armada:
   - Ctera C200 V1 NAS (kirkwood)
   - Ctera C200 V2 NAS (armada-370)

  Mstar:
   - DongShanPiOne, a low-end embedded board
   - Miyoo Mini handheld game console

  NXP i.MX:
   - Numerous i.MX8M Mini based boards in even more variations, but
    none based on other SoCs this time:
    Protonic PRT8MM, emCON-MX8M Mini, Toradex Verdin, and
    Gateworks GW7903

  Qualcomm:
   - Google Herobrine R1 Chromebook platform (Snapdragon 7c Gen 3)
   - SHIFT6mq phone (Snapdragon 845)
   - Samsung Galaxy Book2 (Snapdragon 850)
   - Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Hardware Development Kit

  TI OMAP:
   - SanCloud BeagleBone Enhanced WiFi

  Rockchip:
   - Pine64 PineNote ereader tablet (rk356x)
   - Bananapi-R2-Pro (rk356x)

  STM32:
   - emtrion emSBS-Argon embedded board (stm32mp157c)"

EN7523 is an armv8 based silicon used inside broadband access type devices
such as xPON and xDSL. It shares various silicon blocks with MediaTek
silicon such as the MT7622.

Add basic support for Airoha EN7523, enough for booting to console.

The UART is basically 8250-compatible, except for the clock selection.
A clock-frequency value is synthesized to get this to run at 115200 bps.

<title>ARM: stackprotector: prefer compiler for TLS based per-task protector</title>

Currently, we implement the per-task stack protector for ARM using a GCC
plugin, due to lack of native compiler support. However, work is
underway to get this implemented in the compiler, which means we will be
able to deprecate the GCC plugin at some point.

In the meantime, we will need to support both, where the native compiler
implementation is obviously preferred. So let's wire this up in Kconfig
and the Makefile.

Naresh and Antonio ran into a build failure with latest Debian
armhf compilers, with lots of output like

 tmp/ccY3nOAs.s:2215: Error: selected processor does not support `cpsid i' in ARM mode

As it turns out, $(cc-option) fails early here when the FPU is not
selected before CPU architecture is selected, as the compiler
option check runs before enabling -msoft-float, which causes
a problem when testing a target architecture level without an FPU:

cc1: error: '-mfloat-abi=hard': selected architecture lacks an FPU

Passing e.g. -march=armv6k+fp in place of -march=armv6k would avoid this
issue, but the fallback logic is already broken because all supported
compilers (gcc-5 and higher) are much more recent than these options,
and building with -march=armv5t as a fallback no longer works.

The best way forward that I see is to just remove all the checks, which
also has the nice side-effect of slightly improving the startup time for
'make'.

The -mtune=marvell-f option was apparently never supported by any mainline
compiler, and the custom Codesourcery gcc build that did support is
now too old to build kernels, so just use -mtune=xscale unconditionally
for those.

This should be safe to apply on all stable kernels, and will be required
in order to keep building them with gcc-11 and higher.

<title>kbuild: use more subdir- for visiting subdirectories while cleaning</title>

Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst suggests to use "archclean" for
cleaning arch/$(SRCARCH)/boot/, but it is not a hard requirement.

Since commit d92cc4d51643 ("kbuild: require all architectures to have
arch/$(SRCARCH)/Kbuild"), we can use the "subdir- += boot" trick for
all architectures. This can take advantage of the parallel option (-j)
for "make clean".

I also cleaned up the comments in arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile. The "archdep"
target no longer exists.

<title>ARM: smp: Store current pointer in TPIDRURO register if available</title>

Now that the user space TLS register is assigned on every return to user
space, we can use it to keep the 'current' pointer while running in the
kernel. This removes the need to access it via thread_info, which is
located at the base of the stack, but will be moved out of there in a
subsequent patch.

Use the __builtin_thread_pointer() helper when available - this will
help GCC understand that reloading the value within the same function is
not necessary, even when using the per-task stack protector (which also
generates accesses via the TLS register). For example, the generated
code below loads TPIDRURO only once, and uses it to access both the
stack canary and the preempt_count fields.

&lt;do_one_initcall&gt;:
       e92d 41f0       stmdb   sp!, {r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, lr}
       ee1d 4f70       mrc     15, 0, r4, cr13, cr0, {3}
       4606            mov     r6, r0
       b094            sub     sp, #80 ; 0x50
       f8d4 34e8       ldr.w   r3, [r4, #1256] ; 0x4e8  &lt;- stack canary
       9313            str     r3, [sp, #76]   ; 0x4c
       f8d4 8004       ldr.w   r8, [r4, #4]             &lt;- preempt count

<title>gcc-plugins: arm-ssp: Prepare for THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK support</title>

<content type='text'>
We will be enabling THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK support for ARM, which means
that we can no longer load the stack canary value by masking the stack
pointer and taking the copy that lives in thread_info. Instead, we will
be able to load it from the task_struct directly, by using the TPIDRURO
register which will hold the current task pointer when
THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is in effect. This is much more straight-forward,
and allows us to declutter this code a bit while at it.

Note that this means that ARMv6 (non-v6K) SMP systems can no longer use
this feature, but those are quite rare to begin with, so this is a
reasonable trade off.

Currently, the (z/u)install targets in arch/arm/Makefile descend into
arch/arm/boot/Makefile to invoke the shell script, but there is no
good reason to do so.

arch/arm/Makefile can run the shell script directly.
