Merge branch 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar: "This is another big update. Main changes are: - lots of x86 system call (and other traps/exceptions) entry code enhancements. In particular the complex parts of the 64-bit entry code have been migrated to C code as well, and a number of dusty corners have been refreshed. (Andy Lutomirski) - vDSO special mapping robustification and general cleanups (Andy Lutomirski) - cpufeature refactoring, cleanups and speedups (Borislav Petkov) - lots of other changes ..." * 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (64 commits) x86/cpufeature: Enable new AVX-512 features x86/entry/traps: Show unhandled signal for i386 in do_trap() x86/entry: Call enter_from_user_mode() with IRQs off x86/entry/32: Change INT80 to be an interrupt gate x86/entry: Improve system call entry comments x86/entry: Remove TIF_SINGLESTEP entry work x86/entry/32: Add and check a stack canary for the SYSENTER stack x86/entry/32: Simplify and fix up the SYSENTER stack #DB/NMI fixup x86/entry: Only allocate space for tss_struct::SYSENTER_stack if needed x86/entry: Vastly simplify SYSENTER TF (single-step) handling x86/entry/traps: Clear DR6 early in do_debug() and improve the comment x86/entry/traps: Clear TIF_BLOCKSTEP on all debug exceptions x86/entry/32: Restore FLAGS on SYSEXIT x86/entry/32: Filter NT and speed up AC filtering in SYSENTER x86/entry/compat: In SYSENTER, sink AC clearing below the existing FLAGS test selftests/x86: In syscall_nt, test NT|TF as well x86/asm-offsets: Remove PARAVIRT_enabled x86/entry/32: Introduce and use X86_BUG_ESPFIX instead of paravirt_enabled uprobes: __create_xol_area() must nullify xol_mapping.fault x86/cpufeature: Create a new synthetic cpu capability for machine check recovery ...
