Linus Torvalds 0ca2ce81eb arm64 updates for 5.11:
- Expose tag address bits in siginfo. The original arm64 ABI did not
   expose any of the bits 63:56 of a tagged address in siginfo. In the
   presence of user ASAN or MTE, this information may be useful. The
   implementation is generic to other architectures supporting tags (like
   SPARC ADI, subject to wiring up the arch code). The user will have to
   opt in via sigaction(SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS) so that the extra bits, if
   available, become visible in si_addr.
 
 - Default to 32-bit wide ZONE_DMA. Previously, ZONE_DMA was set to the
   lowest 1GB to cope with the Raspberry Pi 4 limitations, to the
   detriment of other platforms. With these changes, the kernel scans the
   Device Tree dma-ranges and the ACPI IORT information before deciding
   on a smaller ZONE_DMA.
 
 - Strengthen READ_ONCE() to acquire when CONFIG_LTO=y. When building
   with LTO, there is an increased risk of the compiler converting an
   address dependency headed by a READ_ONCE() invocation into a control
   dependency and consequently allowing for harmful reordering by the
   CPU.
 
 - Add CPPC FFH support using arm64 AMU counters.
 
 - set_fs() removal on arm64. This renders the User Access Override (UAO)
   ARMv8 feature unnecessary.
 
 - Perf updates: PMU driver for the ARM DMC-620 memory controller, sysfs
   identifier file for SMMUv3, stop event counters support for i.MX8MP,
   enable the perf events-based hard lockup detector.
 
 - Reorganise the kernel VA space slightly so that 52-bit VA
   configurations can use more virtual address space.
 
 - Improve the robustness of the arm64 memory offline event notifier.
 
 - Pad the Image header to 64K following the EFI header definition
   updated recently to increase the section alignment to 64K.
 
 - Support CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND on arm64.
 
 - Do not use tagged PC in the kernel (TCR_EL1.TBID1==1), freeing up 8
   bits for PtrAuth.
 
 - Switch to vmapped shadow call stacks.
 
 - Miscellaneous clean-ups.

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.
