Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"Here are the core arm64 updates for 4.1.
Highlights include a significant rework to head.S (allowing us to boot
on machines with physical memory at a really high address), an AES
performance boost on Cortex-A57 and the ability to run a 32-bit
userspace with 64k pages (although this requires said userspace to be
built with a recent binutils).
The head.S rework spilt over into KVM, so there are some changes under
arch/arm/ which have been acked by Marc Zyngier (KVM co-maintainer).
In particular, the linker script changes caused us some issues in
-next, so there are a few merge commits where we had to apply fixes on
top of a stable branch.
Other changes include:
- AES performance boost for Cortex-A57
- AArch32 (compat) userspace with 64k pages
- Cortex-A53 erratum workaround for #845719
- defconfig updates (new platforms, PCI, ...)"
* tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (39 commits)

The idle_task_exit() function may call switch_mm() with next ==
&init_mm. On arm64, init_mm.pgd cannot be used for user mappings, so
this patch simply sets the reserved TTBR0.

The page size and the number of translation levels, and hence the supported
virtual address range, are build-time configurables on arm64 whose optimal
values are use case dependent. However, in the current implementation, if
the system's RAM is located at a very high offset, the virtual address range
needs to reflect that merely because the identity mapping, which is only used
to enable or disable the MMU, requires the extended virtual range to map the
physical memory at an equal virtual offset.
This patch relaxes that requirement, by increasing the number of translation
levels for the identity mapping only, and only when actually needed, i.e.,
when system RAM's offset is found to be out of reach at runtime.

We don't support software broadcast of cache maintenance operations, so
this flush is not required (__sync_icache_dcache will always affect all
CPUs).

This patch is a port of 575320d62 ("ARM: 7445/1: mm: update CONTEXTIDR
register to contain PID of current process") from ARM that introduces a
new Kconfig option which, when enabled, causes the kernel to write the
PID of the current task into the CONTEXTIDR register on context switch.
This is useful when analysing hardware trace, since writes to this
register can be configured to emit an event into the trace stream.

The patch adds support for thread creation and context switching. The
context switching CPU specific code is introduced with the CPU support
patch (part of the arch/arm64/mm/proc.S file). AArch64 supports
ASID-tagged TLBs and the ASID can be either 8 or 16-bit wide (detectable
via the ID_AA64AFR0_EL1 register).
