  arm64: Use v8.5-RNG entropy for KASLR seed

Richard Henderson 1a50ec0b3b arm64: Implement archrandom.h for ARMv8.5-RNG
Expose the ID_AA64ISAR0.RNDR field to userspace, as the RNG system
registers are always available at EL0.

Implement arch_get_random_seed_long using RNDR.  Given that the
TRNG is likely to be a shared resource between cores, and VMs,
do not explicitly force re-seeding with RNDRRS.  In order to avoid
code complexity and potential issues with hetrogenous systems only
provide values after cpufeature has finalized the system capabilities.

Steven Price d4209d8b71 arm64: cpufeature: Export matrix and other features to userspace
Export the features introduced as part of ARMv8.6 exposed in the
ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1 and ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1 registers. This introduces the
Matrix features (ARMv8.2-I8MM, ARMv8.2-F64MM and ARMv8.2-F32MM) along
with BFloat16 (Armv8.2-BF16), speculation invalidation (SPECRES) and
Data Gathering Hint (ARMv8.0-DGH).

Julien Grall 0f6e4c4016 docs/arm64: elf_hwcaps: Document HWCAP_SB
All the hardware capabilities but HWCAP_SB is not documented in
elf_hwcaps.rst. So document it.

Julien Grall 3a25e46c99 docs/arm64: elf_hwcaps: sort the HWCAP{, 2} documentation by ascending value
Part of the hardware capabilities documented in elf_hwcap.rst are
ordered following the definition in the header
arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/hwcap.h but others seems to be documented
in random order.

To make easier to match against the definition in the header, they are
now sorted in the same order as they are defined in header. I.e.,
HWCAP first by ascending value, and then HWCAP2 in the similar fashion.

Linus Torvalds e9a83bd232 It's been a relatively busy cycle for docs:
- A fair pile of RST conversions, many from Mauro.  These create more
    than the usual number of simple but annoying merge conflicts with other
    trees, unfortunately.  He has a lot more of these waiting on the wings
    that, I think, will go to you directly later on.
 
  - A new document on how to use merges and rebases in kernel repos, and one
    on Spectre vulnerabilities.
 
  - Various improvements to the build system, including automatic markup of
    function() references because some people, for reasons I will never
    understand, were of the opinion that :c:func:``function()`` is
    unattractive and not fun to type.
 
  - We now recommend using sphinx 1.7, but still support back to 1.4.
 
  - Lots of smaller improvements, warning fixes, typo fixes, etc.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab b693d0b372 docs: arm64: convert docs to ReST and rename to .rst
The documentation is in a format that is very close to ReST format.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fixing tables markups;
  - adding some lists markups;
  - marking literal blocks;
  - adjust some title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
