Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"arm64 updates for 3.20:
- reimplementation of the virtual remapping of UEFI Runtime Services
in a way that is stable across kexec
- emulation of the "setend" instruction for 32-bit tasks (user
endianness switching trapped in the kernel, SCTLR_EL1.E0E bit set
accordingly)
- compat_sys_call_table implemented in C (from asm) and made it a
constant array together with sys_call_table
- export CPU cache information via /sys (like other architectures)
- DMA API implementation clean-up in preparation for IOMMU support
- macros clean-up for KVM
- dropped some unnecessary cache+tlb maintenance
- CONFIG_ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND clean-up
- defconfig update (CPU_IDLE)
The EFI changes going via the arm64 tree have been acked by Matt
Fleming. There is also a patch adding sys_*stat64 prototypes to
include/linux/syscalls.h, acked by Andrew Morton"
