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: "There were lots of changes in this development cycle: - over 100 separate cleanups, restructuring changes, speedups and fixes in the x86 system call, irq, trap and other entry code, part of a heroic effort to deobfuscate a decade old spaghetti asm code and its C code dependencies (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski) - alternatives code fixes and enhancements (Borislav Petkov) - simplifications and cleanups to the compat code (Brian Gerst) - signal handling fixes and new x86 testcases (Andy Lutomirski) - various other fixes and cleanups By their nature many of these changes are risky - we tried to test them well on many different x86 systems (there are no known regressions), and they are split up finely to help bisection - but there's still a fair bit of residual risk left so caveat emptor" * 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (148 commits) perf/x86/64: Report regs_user->ax too in get_regs_user() perf/x86/64: Simplify regs_user->abi setting code in get_regs_user() perf/x86/64: Do report user_regs->cx while we are in syscall, in get_regs_user() perf/x86/64: Do not guess user_regs->cs, ss, sp in get_regs_user() x86/asm/entry/32: Tidy up JNZ instructions after TESTs x86/asm/entry/64: Reduce padding in execve stubs x86/asm/entry/64: Remove GET_THREAD_INFO() in ret_from_fork x86/asm/entry/64: Simplify jumps in ret_from_fork x86/asm/entry/64: Remove a redundant jump x86/asm/entry/64: Optimize [v]fork/clone stubs x86/asm/entry: Zero EXTRA_REGS for stub32_execve() too x86/asm/entry/64: Move stub_x32_execvecloser() to stub_execveat() x86/asm/entry/64: Use common code for rt_sigreturn() epilogue x86/asm/entry/64: Add forgotten CFI annotation x86/asm/entry/irq: Simplify interrupt dispatch table (IDT) layout x86/asm/entry/64: Move opportunistic sysret code to syscall code path x86, selftests: Add sigreturn selftest x86/alternatives: Guard NOPs optimization x86/asm/entry: Clear EXTRA_REGS for all executable formats x86/signal: Remove pax argument from restore_sigcontext ...
