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

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "Apart from the arm64-specific bits (core arch and perf, new arm64
  selftests), it touches the generic cow_user_page() (reviewed by
  Kirill) together with a macro for x86 to preserve the existing
  behaviour on this architecture.

  Summary:

   - On ARMv8 CPUs without hardware updates of the access flag, avoid
     failing cow_user_page() on PFN mappings if the pte is old. The
     patches introduce an arch_faults_on_old_pte() macro, defined as
     false on x86. When true, cow_user_page() makes the pte young before
     attempting __copy_from_user_inatomic().

   - Covert the synchronous exception handling paths in
     arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S to C.

   - FTRACE_WITH_REGS support for arm64.

   - ZONE_DMA re-introduced on arm64 to support Raspberry Pi 4

   - Several kselftest cases specific to arm64, together with a
