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:
"The main changes in this development cycle were:
- a large number of call stack dumping/printing improvements: higher
robustness, better cross-context dumping, improved output, etc.
(Josh Poimboeuf)
- vDSO getcpu() performance improvement for future Intel CPUs with
the RDPID instruction (Andy Lutomirski)
- add two new Intel AVX512 features and the CPUID support
infrastructure for it: AVX512IFMA and AVX512VBMI. (Gayatri Kammela,
He Chen)
- more copy-user unification (Borislav Petkov)
- entry code assembly macro simplifications (Alexander Kuleshov)
- vDSO C/R support improvements (Dmitry Safonov)
- misc fixes and cleanups (Borislav Petkov, Paul Bolle)"
