Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon: "A sizeable pile of arm64 updates for 5.8. Summary below, but the big two features are support for Branch Target Identification and Clang's Shadow Call stack. The latter is currently arm64-only, but the high-level parts are all in core code so it could easily be adopted by other architectures pending toolchain support Branch Target Identification (BTI): - Support for ARMv8.5-BTI in both user- and kernel-space. This allows branch targets to limit the types of branch from which they can be called and additionally prevents branching to arbitrary code, although kernel support requires a very recent toolchain. - Function annotation via SYM_FUNC_START() so that assembly functions are wrapped with the relevant "landing pad" instructions. - BPF and vDSO updates to use the new instructions. - Addition of a new HWCAP and exposure of BTI capabil...
