Nothing particularly stands out here, probably because people were tied
up with spectre/meltdown stuff last time around. Still, the main pieces
are:
- Rework of our CPU features framework so that we can whitelist CPUs that
don't require kpti even in a heterogeneous system
- Support for the IDC/DIC architecture extensions, which allow us to elide
instruction and data cache maintenance when writing out instructions
- Removal of the large memory model which resulted in suboptimal codegen
by the compiler and increased the use of literal pools, which could
potentially be used as ROP gadgets since they are mapped as executable
- Rework of forced signal delivery so that the siginfo_t is well-formed
and handling of show_unhandled_signals is consolidated and made
consistent between different fault types
- More siginfo cleanup based on the initial patches from Eric Biederman
- Workaround for Cortex-A55 erratum #1024718
- Some small ACPI IORT updates and cleanups from Lorenzo Pieralisi
- Misc cleanups and non-critical fixes
