Linus Torvalds 032c7ed958 More arm64 updates for 5.10
- Improve performance of Spectre-v2 mitigation on Falkor CPUs (if you're lucky
   enough to have one)
 
 - Select HAVE_MOVE_PMD. This has been shown to improve mremap() performance,
   which is used heavily by the Android runtime GC, and it seems we forgot to
   enable this upstream back in 2018.
 
 - Ensure linker flags are consistent between LLVM and BFD
 
 - Fix stale comment in Spectre mitigation rework
 
 - Fix broken copyright header
 
 - Fix KASLR randomisation of the linear map
 
 - Prevent arm64-specific prctl()s from compat tasks (return -EINVAL)

Pull more arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "A small selection of further arm64 fixes and updates. Most of these
  are fixes that came in during the merge window, with the exception of
  the HAVE_MOVE_PMD mremap() speed-up which we discussed back in 2018
  and somehow forgot to enable upstream.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
