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"
