dc883ca34a ARM64 idle: delete pm_idle
pm_idle() on arm64 was a synonym for default_idle(),
so remove it and invoke default_idle() directly.

ec45d1cfd3 arm64: mm: update CONTEXTIDR register to contain PID of current process
This patch is a port of 575320d62 ("ARM: 7445/1: mm: update CONTEXTIDR
register to contain PID of current process") from ARM that introduces a
new Kconfig option which, when enabled, causes the kernel to write the
PID of the current task into the CONTEXTIDR register on context switch.
This is useful when analysing hardware trace, since writes to this
register can be configured to emit an event into the trace stream.

6929039761 Merge commit '6ba1bc826d160fe4f32bcb188687dcca4bdfaf3d' into arch-arm64
Backmerge from mainline commit that introduced a trivial conflict in
arch/arm64/kernel/process.c - a bunch of functions removed next to the
place where kernel_thread() used to be.

6ba1bc826d arm64: elf: fix core dumping definitions for GP and FP registers
struct user_fp does not exist for arm64, so use struct user_fpsimd_state
instead for the ELF core dumping definitions. Furthermore, since we use
regset-based core dumping, we do not need definitions for dump_task_regs
and dump_fpu.

c34501d21b arm64: Use generic kernel_thread() implementation
This patch enables CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD on arm64, changes
copy_threads to cope with kernel threads creation and adapts
ret_from_fork accordingly. The arm64-specific kernel_thread
implementation is no longer needed.

b3901d54dc arm64: Process management
The patch adds support for thread creation and context switching. The
context switching CPU specific code is introduced with the CPU support
patch (part of the arch/arm64/mm/proc.S file). AArch64 supports
ASID-tagged TLBs and the ASID can be either 8 or 16-bit wide (detectable
via the ID_AA64AFR0_EL1 register).
