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

Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon:
 "Catalin's out enjoying the sunshine, so I'm sending the fixes for a
  couple of weeks (although there hopefully won't be any more!).

  We've got a revert of a previous fix because it broke the build with
  some distro toolchains and a preemption fix when detemining whether or
  not the SIMD unit is in use.

  Summary:

   - Revert back to the 'linux' target for LD, as 'elf' breaks some
     distributions

   - Fix preemption race when testing whether the vector unit is in use
     or not"

* tag 'arm64-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux:
  arm64: neon: Fix function may_use_simd() return error status
  Revert "arm64: Use aarch64elf and aarch64elfb emulation mode variants"

* The raw_cpu_read() is racy if called with preemption enabled.

* So, if we find it clear on some CPU then we're guaranteed to

* kernel_neon_busy is only set while preemption is disabled,
* and is clear whenever preemption is enabled. Since
* this_cpu_read() is atomic w.r.t. preemption, kernel_neon_busy
* cannot change under our feet -- if it's set we cannot be
* migrated, and if it's clear we cannot be migrated to a CPU
* where it is set.
