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:

 - Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via
   CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.

   The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo
   implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding.
   Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so
   the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no
   dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain.

   The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the
   (out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph
   profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively:
   there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even
   with early versions. (knock on wood!)

   But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows
   CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel
   measurably:

   With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer
   instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's
   .text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache
   utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad
   kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be
   roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown
   a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads.

   The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be
   stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel
   config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems.

   Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default
   - but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make
   it the default unwinder on x86.

   See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details.

 - Remove lguest support: its intended role was that of a temporary
   proof of concept for virtualization, plus its removal will enable the
   reduction (removal) of the paravirt API as well, so Rusty agreed to
   its removal. (Juergen Gross)

 - Clean up and fix FSGS related functionality (Andy Lutomirski)

 - Clean up IO access APIs (Andy Shevchenko)

 - Enhance the symbol namespace (Jiri Slaby)
