Pull more power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These update the CPPC cpufreq driver and intel_pstate (which involves
  updating the cpufreq core and the schedutil governor) and make
  janitorial changes in the ACPI code handling processor objects.

  Specifics:

   - Rework the passive-mode "fast switch" path in the intel_pstate
     driver to allow it receive the minimum (required) and target
     (desired) performance information from the schedutil governor so as
     to avoid running some workloads too fast (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Make the intel_pstate driver allow the policy max limit to be
     increased after the guaranteed performance value for the given CPU
     has increased (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Clean up the handling of CPU coordination types in the CPPC cpufreq
     driver and make it export frequency domains information to user
     space via sysfs (Ionela Voinescu).

   - Fix the ACPI code handling processor objects to use a correct
     coordination type when it fails to map frequency domains and drop a
     redundant CPU map initialization from it (Ionela Voinescu, Punit
     Agrawal)"

Merge KASAN updates from Andrew Morton.

This adds a new hardware tag-based mode to KASAN.  The new mode is
similar to the existing software tag-based KASAN, but relies on arm64
Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) to perform memory and pointer tagging
(instead of shadow memory and compiler instrumentation).

By Andrey Konovalov and Vincenzo Frascino.
