Merge tag 'x86_misc_for_v5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull misc x86 updates from Borislav Petkov:
"The main part of this branch is the ongoing fight against windmills in
an attempt to have userspace tools not poke at naked MSRs.
This round deals with MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS and removes direct
poking into it by our in-tree tools in favor of the proper
"energy_perf_bias" sysfs interface which we already have.
In addition, the msr.ko write filtering's error message points to a
new summary page which contains the info we collected from helpful
reporters about which userspace tools write MSRs:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/about
along with the current status of their conversion.
The rest is the usual small fixes and improvements"
