Merge branch 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 asm changes from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle were the x86/entry and sysret
enhancements from Andy Lutomirski, see merge commits 772a9aca125 and
b57c0b5175dd for details"
[ Exectutive summary: IST exceptions that interrupt user space will run
on the regular kernel stack instead of the IST stack. Which
simplifies things particularly on return to user space.
The sysret cleanup ends up simplifying the logic on when we can use
sysret vs when we have to use iret. - Linus ]
