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 cycle were: - MSR access API fixes and enhancements (Andy Lutomirski) - early exception handling improvements (Andy Lutomirski) - user-space FS/GS prctl usage fixes and improvements (Andy Lutomirski) - Remove the cpu_has_*() APIs and replace them with equivalents (Borislav Petkov) - task switch micro-optimization (Brian Gerst) - 32-bit entry code simplification (Denys Vlasenko) - enhance PAT handling in enumated CPUs (Toshi Kani) ... and lots of other cleanups/fixlets" * 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (70 commits) x86/arch_prctl/64: Restore accidentally removed put_cpu() in ARCH_SET_GS x86/entry/32: Remove asmlinkage_protect() x86/entry/32: Remove GET_THREAD_INFO() from entry code x86/entry, sched/x86: Don't save/restore EFLAGS on task switch x86/asm/entry/32: Simplify pushes of zeroed pt_regs->REGs selftests/x86/ldt_gdt: Test set_thread_area() deletion of an active segment x86/tls: Synchronize segment registers in set_thread_area() x86/asm/64: Rename thread_struct's fs and gs to fsbase and gsbase x86/arch_prctl/64: Remove FSBASE/GSBASE < 4G optimization x86/segments/64: When load_gs_index fails, clear the base x86/segments/64: When loadsegment(fs, ...) fails, clear the base x86/asm: Make asm/alternative.h safe from assembly x86/asm: Stop depending on ptrace.h in alternative.h x86/entry: Rename is_{ia32,x32}_task() to in_{ia32,x32}_syscall() x86/asm: Make sure verify_cpu() has a good stack x86/extable: Add a comment about early exception handlers x86/msr: Set the return value to zero when native_rdmsr_safe() fails x86/paravirt: Make "unsafe" MSR accesses unsafe even if PARAVIRT=y x86/paravirt: Add paravirt_{read,write}_msr() x86/msr: Carry on after a non-"safe" MSR access fails ...
