Merge tag 'arm64-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux

Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon: "It's all straightforward apart from the changes to mmap()/mremap() in relation to their handling of address arguments from userspace with non-zero tag bits in the upper byte. The change to brk() is necessary to fix a nasty user-visible regression in malloc(), but we tightened up mmap() and mremap() at the same time because they also allow the user to create virtual aliases by accident. It's much less likely than brk() to matter in practice, but enforcing the principle of "don't permit the creation of mappings using tagged addresses" leads to a straightforward ABI without having to worry about the "but what if a crazy program did foo?" aspect of things. Summary: - Fix regression in malloc() caused by ignored address tags in brk() - Add missing brackets around argument to untagged_addr() macro - Fix clang build when using binutils assembler - Fix silly typo in virtual memory map documentation" * tag 'arm64-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: mm: Avoid creating virtual address aliases in brk()/mmap()/mremap() docs: arm64: fix trivial spelling enought to enough in memory.rst arm64: memory: Add missing brackets to untagged_addr() macro arm64: lse: Fix LSE atomics with LLVM
