Linus Torvalds 103916ffe2 arm64 updates for 6.10
ACPI:
 * Support for the Firmware ACPI Control Structure (FACS) signature
   feature which is used to reboot out of hibernation on some systems.
 
 Kbuild:
 * Support for building Flat Image Tree (FIT) images, where the kernel
   Image is compressed alongside a set of devicetree blobs.
 
 Memory management:
 * Optimisation of our early page-table manipulation for creation of the
   linear mapping.
 
 * Support for userfaultfd write protection, which brings along some nice
   cleanups to our handling of invalid but present ptes.
 
 * Extend our use of range TLBI invalidation at EL1.
 
 Perf and PMUs:
 * Ensure that the 'pmu->parent' pointer is correctly initialised by PMU
   drivers.
 
 * Avoid allocating 'cpumask_t' types on the stack in some PMU drivers.
 
 * Fix parsing of the CPU PMU "version" field in assembly code, as it
   doesn't follow the usual architectural rules.
 
 * Add best-effort unwinding support for USER_STACKTRACE
 
 * Minor driver fixes and cleanups.
 
 Selftests:
 * Minor cleanups to the arm64 selftests (missing NULL check, unused
   variable).
 
 Miscellaneous
 * Add a command-line alias for disabling 32-bit application support.
 
 * Add part number for Neoverse-V2 CPUs.
 
 * Minor fixes and cleanups.

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

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "The most interesting parts are probably the mm changes from Ryan which
  optimise the creation of the linear mapping at boot and (separately)
  implement write-protect support for userfaultfd.

  Outside of our usual directories, the Kbuild-related changes under
  scripts/ have been acked by Masahiro whilst the drivers/acpi/ parts
  have been acked by Rafael and the addition of cpumask_any_and_but()
  has been acked by Yury.
