Linus Torvalds 145ff1ec09 arm64 and cross-arch updates for 5.9:
- Removal of the tremendously unpopular read_barrier_depends() barrier,
   which is a NOP on all architectures apart from Alpha, in favour of
   allowing architectures to override READ_ONCE() and do whatever dance
   they need to do to ensure address dependencies provide LOAD ->
   LOAD/STORE ordering. This work also offers a potential solution if
   compilers are shown to convert LOAD -> LOAD address dependencies into
   control dependencies (e.g. under LTO), as weakly ordered architectures
   will effectively be able to upgrade READ_ONCE() to smp_load_acquire().
   The latter case is not used yet, but will be discussed further at LPC.
 
 - Make the MSI/IOMMU input/output ID translation PCI agnostic, augment
   the MSI/IOMMU ACPI/OF ID mapping APIs to accept an input ID
   bus-specific parameter and apply the resulting changes to the device
   ID space provided by the Freescale FSL bus.
 
 - arm64 support for TLBI range operations and translation table level
   hints (part of the ARMv8.4 architecture version).
 
 - Time namespace support for arm64.
 
 - Export the virtual and physical address sizes in vmcoreinfo for
   makedumpfile and crash utilities.
 
 - CPU feature handling cleanups and checks for programmer errors
   (overlapping bit-fields).
 
 - ACPI updates for arm64: disallow AML accesses to EFI code regions and
   kernel memory.
 
 - perf updates for arm64.
 
 - Miscellaneous fixes and cleanups, most notably PLT counting
   optimisation for module loading, recordmcount fix to ignore
   relocations other than R_AARCH64_CALL26, CMA areas reserved for
   gigantic pages on 16K and 64K configurations.
 
 - Trivial typos, duplicate words.

Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux

Pull arm64 and cross-arch updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "Here's a slightly wider-spread set of updates for 5.9.

  Going outside the usual arch/arm64/ area is the removal of
  read_barrier_depends() series from Will and the MSI/IOMMU ID
  translation series from Lorenzo.

  The notable arm64 updates include ARMv8.4 TLBI range operations and
  translation level hint, time namespace support, and perf.

  Summary:

   - Removal of the tremendously unpopular read_barrier_depends()
     barrier, which is a NOP on all architectures apart from Alpha, in
     favour of allowing architectures to override READ_ONCE() and do
     whatever dance they need to do to ensure address dependencies
     provide LOAD -> LOAD/STORE ordering.

     This work also offers a potential solution if compilers are shown
     to convert LOAD -> LOAD address dependencies into control
     dependencies (e.g. under LTO), as weakly ordered architectures will
     effectively be able to upgrade READ_ONCE() to smp_load_acquire().
     The latter case is not used yet, but will be discussed further at
     LPC.

   - Make the MSI/IOMMU input/output ID translation PCI agnostic,
     augment the MSI/IOMMU ACPI/OF ID mapping APIs to accept an input ID
     bus-specific parameter and apply the resulting changes to the
     device ID space provided by the Freescale FSL bus.

   - arm64 support for TLBI range operations and translation table level
     hints (part of the ARMv8.4 architecture version).

   - Time namespace support for arm64.

   - Export the virtual and physical address sizes in vmcoreinfo for
     makedumpfile and crash utilities.

   - CPU feature handling cleanups and checks for programmer errors
     (overlapping bit-fields).

   - ACPI updates for arm64: disallow AML accesses to EFI code regions
     and kernel memory.

   - perf updates for arm64.

   - Miscellaneous fixes and cleanups, most notably PLT counting
     optimisation for module loading, recordmcount fix to ignore
     relocations other than R_AARCH64_CALL26, CMA areas reserved for
     gigantic pages on 16K and 64K configurations.

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.
