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 development cycle were: - a large number of call stack dumping/printing improvements: higher robustness, better cross-context dumping, improved output, etc. (Josh Poimboeuf) - vDSO getcpu() performance improvement for future Intel CPUs with the RDPID instruction (Andy Lutomirski) - add two new Intel AVX512 features and the CPUID support infrastructure for it: AVX512IFMA and AVX512VBMI. (Gayatri Kammela, He Chen) - more copy-user unification (Borislav Petkov) - entry code assembly macro simplifications (Alexander Kuleshov) - vDSO C/R support improvements (Dmitry Safonov) - misc fixes and cleanups (Borislav Petkov, Paul Bolle)" * 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (40 commits) scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: Fix address line detection on x86 x86/boot/64: Use defines for page size x86/dumpstack: Make stack name tags more comprehensible selftests/x86: Add test_vdso to test getcpu() x86/vdso: Use RDPID in preference to LSL when available x86/dumpstack: Handle NULL stack pointer in show_trace_log_lvl() x86/cpufeatures: Enable new AVX512 cpu features x86/cpuid: Provide get_scattered_cpuid_leaf() x86/cpuid: Cleanup cpuid_regs definitions x86/copy_user: Unify the code by removing the 64-bit asm _copy_*_user() variants x86/unwind: Ensure stack grows down x86/vdso: Set vDSO pointer only after success x86/prctl/uapi: Remove #ifdef for CHECKPOINT_RESTORE x86/unwind: Detect bad stack return address x86/dumpstack: Warn on stack recursion x86/unwind: Warn on bad frame pointer x86/decoder: Use stderr if insn sanity test fails x86/decoder: Use stdout if insn decoder test is successful mm/page_alloc: Remove kernel address exposure in free_reserved_area() x86/dumpstack: Remove raw stack dump ...
