ARM: 9304/1: add prototype for function called only from asm
When building with 'make W=1', the compiler warns about any function definition that does not come with a prototype in a header, to ensure it matches what the caller expects.
This includes functions that are only ever caller from assembly code and don't technically need a declaration:

Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
- Expose tag address bits in siginfo. The original arm64 ABI did not expose any of the bits 63:56 of a tagged address in siginfo. In the presence of user ASAN or MTE, this information may be useful. The implementation is generic to other architectures supporting tags (like SPARC ADI, subject to wiring up the arch code). The user will have to opt in via sigaction(SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS) so that the extra bits, if available, become visible in si_addr.
- Default to 32-bit wide ZONE_DMA. Previously, ZONE_DMA was set to the lowest 1GB to cope with the Raspberry Pi 4 limitations, to the detriment of other platforms. With these changes, the kernel scans the Device Tree dma-ranges and the ACPI IORT information before deciding on a smaller ZONE_DMA.
- Strengthen READ_ONCE() to acquire when CONFIG_LTO=y. When building with LTO, there is an increased risk of the compiler converting an address dependency headed by a READ_ONCE() invocation into a control dependency and consequently allowing for harmful reordering by the CPU.
- Add CPPC FFH support using arm64 AMU counters.
- set_fs() removal on arm64. This renders the User Access Override (UAO) ARMv8 feature unnecessary.
- Perf updates: PMU driver for the ARM DMC-620 memory controller, sysfs identifier file for SMMUv3, stop event counters support for i.MX8MP, enable the perf events-based hard lockup detector.
- Reorganise the kernel VA space slightly so that 52-bit VA configurations can use more virtual address space.
- Improve the robustness of the arm64 memory offline event notifier.
- Pad the Image header to 64K following the EFI header definition updated recently to increase the section alignment to 64K.
- Support CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND on arm64.
- Do not use tagged PC in the kernel (TCR_EL1.TBID1==1), freeing up 8 bits for PtrAuth.
- Switch to vmapped shadow call stacks.
- Miscellaneous clean-ups.

signal: clear non-uapi flag bits when passing/returning sa_flags
Previously we were not clearing non-uapi flag bits in sigaction.sa_flags when storing the userspace-provided sa_flags or when returning them via oldact. Start doing so.
This allows userspace to detect missing support for flag bits and allows the kernel to use non-uapi bits internally, as we are already doing in arch/x86 for two flag bits. Now that this change is in place, we no longer need the code in arch/x86 that was hiding these bits from userspace, so remove it.
This is technically a userspace-visible behavior change for sigaction, as the unknown bits returned via oldact.sa_flags are no longer set. However, we are free to define the behavior for unknown bits exactly because their behavior is currently undefined, so for now we can define the meaning of each of them to be "clear the bit in oldact.sa_flags unless the bit becomes known in the future". Furthermore, this behavior is consistent with OpenBSD [1], illumos [2] and XNU [3] (FreeBSD [4] and NetBSD [5] fail the syscall if unknown bits are set). So there is some precedent for this behavior in other kernels, and in particular in XNU, which is probably the most popular kernel among those that I looked at, which means that this change is less likely to be a compatibility issue.
