* for-next/alternatives:
: Alternatives (code patching) improvements
arm64: fix the build with binutils 2.27
arm64: avoid BUILD_BUG_ON() in alternative-macros
arm64: alternatives: add shared NOP callback
arm64: alternatives: add alternative_has_feature_*()
arm64: alternatives: have callbacks take a cap
arm64: alternatives: make alt_region const
arm64: alternatives: hoist print out of __apply_alternatives()
arm64: alternatives: proton-pack: prepare for cap changes
arm64: alternatives: kvm: prepare for cap changes
arm64: cpufeature: make cpus_have_cap() noinstr-safe
Today, callback alternatives are special-cased within
__apply_alternatives(), and are applied alongside patching for system
capabilities as ARM64_NCAPS is not part of the boot_capabilities feature
mask.
This special-casing is less than ideal. Giving special meaning to
ARM64_NCAPS for this requires some structures and loops to use
ARM64_NCAPS + 1 (AKA ARM64_NPATCHABLE), while others use ARM64_NCAPS.
It's also not immediately clear callback alternatives are only applied
when applying alternatives for system-wide features.
To make this a bit clearer, changes the way that callback alternatives
are identified to remove the special-casing of ARM64_NCAPS, and to allow
callback alternatives to be associated with a cpucap as with all other
alternatives.
New cpucaps, ARM64_ALWAYS_BOOT and ARM64_ALWAYS_SYSTEM are added which
are always detected alongside boot cpu capabilities and system
capabilities respectively. All existing callback alternatives are made
to use ARM64_ALWAYS_SYSTEM, and so will be patched at the same point
during the boot flow as before.
Subsequent patches will make more use of these new cpucaps.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Cortex-A510's erratum #2658417 causes two BF16 instructions to return the
wrong result in rare circumstances when a pair of A510 CPUs are using
shared neon hardware.
The two instructions affected are BFMMLA and VMMLA, support for these is
indicated by the BF16 HWCAP. Remove it on affected platforms.

Automatically generate most of the defines for ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1 mostly as
per DDI0487H.a. Due to the large amount of MixedCase in this register which
isn't really consistent with either the kernel style or the majority of the
architecture the use of upper case is preserved. We also leave in place a
number of min/max/default value definitions which don't flow from the
architecture definitions.
No functional changes.

As with the corresponding SVE field ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1.SVEVer and other ID
register fields the SMEVer field should be identified as an enumeration
but it is currently described as a plain field (most likely due to there
presently being only one possible value). Update it to be an enumeration
as one would expect. No functional change.

The AMU counter AMEVCNTR01 (constant counter) should increment at the same
rate as the system counter. On affected Cortex-A510 cores, AMEVCNTR01
increments incorrectly giving a significantly higher output value. This
results in inaccurate task scheduler utilization tracking and incorrect
feedback on CPU frequency.
Work around this problem by returning 0 when reading the affected counter
in key locations that results in disabling all users of this counter from
using it either for frequency invariance or as FFH reference counter. This
effect is the same to firmware disabling affected counters.
Details on how the two features are affected by this erratum:
- AMU counters will not be used for frequency invariance for affected
CPUs and CPUs in the same cpufreq policy. AMUs can still be used for
frequency invariance for unaffected CPUs in the system. Although
unlikely, if no alternative method can be found to support frequency
invariance for affected CPUs (cpufreq based or solution based on
platform counters) frequency invariance will be disabled. Please check
the chapter on frequency invariance at
Documentation/scheduler/sched-capacity.rst for details of its effect.
- Given that FFH can be used to fetch either the core or constant counter
values, restrictions are lifted regarding any of these counters
returning a valid (!0) value. Therefore FFH is considered supported
if there is a least one CPU that support AMUs, independent of any
counters being disabled or affected by this erratum. Clarifying
comments are now added to the cpc_ffh_supported(), cpu_read_constcnt()
and cpu_read_corecnt() functions.
The above is achieved through adding a new erratum: ARM64_ERRATUM_2457168.

* for-next/cpufeature:
arm64/hwcap: Support FEAT_EBF16
arm64/cpufeature: Store elf_hwcaps as a bitmap rather than unsigned long
arm64/hwcap: Document allocation of upper bits of AT_HWCAP
arm64: trap implementation defined functionality in userspace
Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A72 have an erratum where an interrupt that
occurs between a pair of AES instructions in aarch32 mode may corrupt
the ELR. The task will subsequently produce the wrong AES result.
The AES instructions are part of the cryptographic extensions, which are
optional. User-space software will detect the support for these
instructions from the hwcaps. If the platform doesn't support these
instructions a software implementation should be used.
Remove the hwcap bits on affected parts to indicate user-space should
not use the AES instructions.
