Merge tag 'arm64-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull more arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas: "A mix of fixes and clean-ups that turned up too late for the first pull request: - Restore terminal stack frame records. Their previous removal caused traces which cross secondary_start_kernel to terminate one entry too late, with a spurious "0" entry. - Fix boot warning with pseudo-NMI due to the way we manipulate the PMR register. - ACPI fixes: avoid corruption of interrupt mappings on watchdog probe failure (GTDT), prevent unregistering of GIC SGIs. - Force SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP as the only memory model, it saves with having to test all the other combinations. - Documentation fixes and updates: tagged address ABI exceptions on brk/mmap/mremap(), event stream frequency, update booting requirements on the configuration of traps" * tag 'arm64-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: arm64: kernel: Update the stale comment arm64: Fix the documented event stream frequency arm64: entry: always set GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET during entry arm64: Explicitly document boot requirements for SVE arm64: Explicitly require that FPSIMD instructions do not trap arm64: Relax booting requirements for configuration of traps arm64: cpufeatures: use min and max arm64: stacktrace: restore terminal records arm64/vdso: Discard .note.gnu.property sections in vDSO arm64: doc: Add brk/mmap/mremap() to the Tagged Address ABI Exceptions psci: Remove unneeded semicolon ACPI: irq: Prevent unregistering of GIC SGIs ACPI: GTDT: Don't corrupt interrupt mappings on watchdow probe failure arm64: Show three registers per line arm64: remove HAVE_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE arm64: alternative: simplify passing alt_region arm64: Force SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP as the only memory management model arm64: vdso32: drop -no-integrated-as flag
