Linus Torvalds f4000cd997 arm64 updates for 4.10:
- struct thread_info moved off-stack (also touching
   include/linux/thread_info.h and include/linux/restart_block.h)
 
 - cpus_have_cap() reworked to avoid __builtin_constant_p() for static
   key use (also touching drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v3.c)
 
 - Uprobes support (currently only for native 64-bit tasks)
 
 - Emulation of kernel Privileged Access Never (PAN) using TTBR0_EL1
   switching to a reserved page table
 
 - CPU capacity information passing via DT or sysfs (used by the
   scheduler)
 
 - Support for systems without FP/SIMD (IOW, kernel avoids touching these
   registers; there is no soft-float ABI, nor kernel emulation for
   AArch64 FP/SIMD)
 
 - Handling of hardware watchpoint with unaligned addresses, varied
   lengths and offsets from base
 
 - Use of the page table contiguous hint for kernel mappings
 
 - Hugetlb fixes for sizes involving the contiguous hint
 
 - Remove unnecessary I-cache invalidation in flush_cache_range()
 
 - CNTHCTL_EL2 access fix for CPUs with VHE support (ARMv8.1)
 
 - Boot-time checks for writable+executable kernel mappings
 
 - Simplify asm/opcodes.h and avoid including the 32-bit ARM counterpart
   and make the arm64 kernel headers self-consistent (Xen headers patch
   merged separately)
 
 - Workaround for broken .inst support in certain binutils versions
