Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 - Optimised assembly string/memory routines (based on the AArch64
   Cortex Strings library contributed to glibc but re-licensed under
   GPLv2)
 - Optimised crypto algorithms making use of the ARMv8 crypto extensions
   (together with kernel API for using FPSIMD instructions in interrupt
   context)
 - Ftrace support
 - CPU topology parsing from DT
 - ESR_EL1 (Exception Syndrome Register) exposed to user space signal
   handlers for SIGSEGV/SIGBUS (useful to emulation tools like Qemu)
 - 1GB section linear mapping if applicable
 - Barriers usage clean-up
 - Default pgprot clean-up

Conflicts as per Catalin.

CALLER_ADDRx returns caller's address at specified level in call stacks.
They are used for several tracers like irqsoff and preemptoff.
Strange to say, however, they are refered even without FTRACE.

This patch implements arm64 specific part to support function tracers,
such as function (CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER), function_graph
(CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER) and function profiler
(CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER).

With 'function' tracer, all the functions in the kernel are traced with
timestamps in ${sysfs}/tracing/trace. If function_graph tracer is
specified, call graph is generated.

The kernel must be compiled with -pg option so that _mcount() is inserted
at the beginning of functions. This function is called on every function's
entry as long as tracing is enabled.
In addition, function_graph tracer also needs to be able to probe function's
exit. ftrace_graph_caller() &amp; return_to_handler do this by faking link
register's value to intercept function's return path.

More details on architecture specific requirements are described in
Documentation/trace/ftrace-design.txt.

This patch adds EFI runtime support for arm64. This runtime support allows
the kernel to access various EFI runtime services provided by EFI firmware.
Things like reboot, real time clock, EFI boot variables, and others.

This functionality is supported for little endian kernels only. The UEFI
firmware standard specifies that the firmware be little endian. A future
patch is expected to add support for big endian kernels running with
little endian firmware.

<id>f6e763b93a6cd3411fd8df925344022719bcba62</id>
<content type='text'>
Add basic CPU topology support to arm64, based on the existing pre-v8
code and some work done by Mark Hambleton.  This patch does not
implement any topology discovery support since that should be based on
information from firmware, it merely implements the scaffolding for
integration of topology support in the architecture.

No locking of the topology data is done since it is only modified during
CPU bringup with external serialisation from the SMP code.

The goal is to separate the architecture hookup for providing topology
information from the DT parsing in order to ease review and avoid
blocking the architecture code (which will be built on by other work)
with the DT code review by providing something simple and basic.

Following patches will implement support for interpreting topology
information from MPIDR and for parsing the DT topology bindings for ARM,
similar patches will be needed for ACPI.
